| Good book not only for bento | 2010-07-25 | 5 / 5 |
| This is not a book for how to cook the well known Japanese dishes but how to cook the material you have or can be found easily in the way Japanese people do. You get to learn how to use soy sause, miso, mirin etc. After that, it leaves the room for your creativity. Everything in this book is for bento, so the type of food is limited to such purpose, that means no soup, no ramen.
Any of the food in the book can be cooked for the dinner and keep it in the fridge for the bento the next day, so it can be a time saver.
This may not be the first choice if you are looking for how to fix dishes use cheese, tomato, chicken broth, meat based western dishes but if you already know all that, this makes a nice change. |
| Great for Americans, introduces Japanese bento well | 2010-07-20 | 5 / 5 |
| This book was a good purchase; it is clearly organized, contains good advice, easy for Americans to learn about Japanese cooking, bento and how to prepare small amounts of food for a lunch. Many are designed for a those who love large portions of meat, as many Americans do - which is great for my husband who I make bento for everyday. Also the side dishes are super easy and useful, I think I use that section the most. I use 4 bento books, most are in English (one Japanese) and I reference them all in creating fun bento for my family. This is definitely a jewel to add to any bento recipe collection.
Highly recommend! =) |
| nice ideas poor recipes | 2010-07-07 | 2 / 5 |
| | The book has many fine bento ideas-- how to put together a basic bento, how to match various side dishes. Unfortunately the recipes lack detail such as how many minutes to cook an item, the quantity of ingredient. As a more experienced home cook of Chinese and Japanese food, I could still use the recipes. However, most people would find the recipes to be confusing, lacking in precision and necessary detail. |
| | Personally, I loved this book. It's not filled with the cutesy recipes and pictures that most of us associate with bento but the recipes are great for those bento afficionados who aren't looking for bunny onigiri or Pikachu charaben. It's simple recipes that fulfill the proportion management that a lot of bento fans are looking for that look and taste delicious. I've already tried over a dozen of the recipes and haven't been disappointed by any so far. |
| Great cookbook! Good recipes, lots of photos, techniques shown | 2009-12-02 | 5 / 5 |
| | I had originally borrowed a copy of this book from the local library, but then enjoyed it so much that I decided to locate and purchase a copy for my very own. The author provides many tasty recipes, along with accompanying photos of the arrangement & presentation of the food in a bento box. The recipes are appealing to both adults & kids, and as such, these meals are wonderful to take to work or to school. The writing style is intelligent, fun & relaxed. Explanations of useful techniques and suggested combinations of foods to prepare a bento box meal are included. This is a beautiful, enjoyable and useful little cookbook! |
