about us

Let's Eat is a website that celebrates the food and culture of the residents in the City of Port Phillip. So far the site contains recipes as diverse as a Hangi from the Maori culture of New Zealand to a recipe for macaroni cheese, donated by the Mayor of Port Phillip.

We invite you to send in your favourite recipe and story, and if possible a photo of the dish or yourself. Tell us if the recipe is part of a tradition like American Thanksgiving or Jewish Sabbath, or maybe it evokes special memories that you would like to share. There is no need to identify yourself other than by your first name. And remember, this is a chance to become part of the World Wide Web! 

About Us

Freda Erlich, a resident of St Kilda, got the idea for Let's Eat when she was doorknocking at the last municipal elections. "I wanted to celebrate the diversity of people living in my area and what better way to do it than through food?"

Nancy Otis coordinated the Let's Eat project and is keen on food. An American by birth, she thinks Port Phillip is one of the best places to live in the world.

Freda and Nancy would like to thank Magda de la Pesca for the photos used in the opening montage of Port Phillip, Simon for his technical support, and Bek of Nectarine (www.nectarine.net.au) for her fantastic logo and graphics.  A grant from the Cultural Committee of the City of Port Phillip made this project possible--a big thanks to the Committee as well.
