Two of the blogs I’m currently finding useful are Veggie Friendly and Buy Organic . Veggie Friendly posts restaurant reviews, focussing on how sympathetic their menu is to vegetarians – hence the name. As Kate says:

The idea behind my restaurant reviews is to rate different eateries for vegetarian friendliness. I hope this helps you choose a great veggie friendly restaurant – for yourself or for vegetarian friends or family. My master plan is to raise more awareness amongst restaurants about catering for vegetarians (mweh ha ha)

All sorts of dining styles are covered, from those with Good Food Guide hats , through to city lunch-time eateries and small local cafes . Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian places are included and while most of the reviews are from Sydney, Kate also has Canberra and Melbourne correspondents. Kate’s been blogging for just over a year now, so she’s built up a significant body of reviews.

Veggie Friendly also has a google map function and links to a small (but growing) list of overseas vegetarian friendly guides.

Buy Organic on the other hand is a newer site, but Andrea blogs frequently and is building up a useful online resource. More and more people are seeking organic products, but they can, at times, be difficult to find. Buy Organic’s aim is to build up a directory of organic food and other products. As she says:

This means you won’t have to go searching the web looking for what you need. The research has been done for you. Just click on the category which interests you and you will be provided with a list of sites which stock organic products and which can be delivered to Australia.

Buy Organic covers a wide range of topics from food, beauty products, clothing, wine and even pest control methods.
