not for lunches submitted by N3RD on October 28, 2008, 5:36pm I was looking for something to help me put together some Bento lunch boxes but this book didn't really help me. This is more for the Bento you'd get at a restaurant... I don't see myself making salt cured salmon with fennel salad or sweet and snow pea soup for a lunch box..

sure the recipes are great but its a little too high brow for my lunch box ;0(

not good submitted by unknown on August 17, 2013, 11:00pm Bah. This isn't authentic bento fare. It's a foodie interpretation. And these are not even REAL bento boxes. You can't take a bento box with you that has a bowl of soup in it and stuff on a leaf. I mean, really. It's all so - look at us we are chef-ies making bento better than the Japanese!

Pretty pictures though for the most part but I am not about to make Grilled Quail or Rack of Lamb for my bento. Kind of defeats the whole idea of SIMPLE.

These recipes are actually NOT simple in any way. Simple to me would be Chicken Teriyaki, Fried rice and Japanese pickles.

Get the REAL bento box cookbook by an actual Japanese chef - Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals on the Go by Naomi Kijima. That's my bento bible!
