Summary

Oh, boy- obento ! These cute, yummy, healthy lunches are all the rage in Japan, where mothers think of them as an expression of love for their children. Yum-Yum Bento Box is one of the first cookbooks in English devoted to these healthy and adorable meals-they're fresh, they're tasty, and they're almost too cute to eat!

Stop wasting money on prepackaged lunches-and start making beautiful, healthy bentos!
