Lentil as Anything

'Lentil as Anything' 2011, Wikipedia, wiki article, viewed 29 April 2011, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentil_as_Anything>.

This article in Wikipedia reviews a group of Melbourne based organic, vegetarian restaurants, Lentil as Anything, with an extensive variety of ethnic cuisine, ranging from African to Asian cooking. The article reveals that restaurants are part of a multicultural non-profit organisation, which provides support and training to people from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds. The authors observe that despite applying a unique operational concept based on a 'pay-as-you-feel' philosophy, the restaurants still depend upon the generosity of their patrons and suppliers. Numerous volunteers not only contribute their time and skills towards the restaurants’ functionality, but also participate in live music performances or artworks donations. From my own visitation to one of the restaurants at the Abbotsford Convent, the combination of peaceful surroundings of the beautiful gardens and a great food on a budget leaves an unforgettable impression of unity of a local community spirit.
