Effortless Bento

this is probably the most valued purchase for bento book on Amazon for me, I've got about 10+ other books on bentos from Amazon and very few of them is useful to me, most of them I've seen is rather like a "decoration" in which time consuming and isn't so useful or efficient for daily life. This book tells you from how to store and prepare your bento components to use in the future so you can have combination during the whole week. I wasn't that interested in the book as the cover is a bit too boring and common so I didn't expect much but when I got the book I was wrong. This is very good book if you actually want to make bento for your daily routine instead of spending hours cutting cute pieces of ham and seaweed to make them look like princesses and pandas and admire it before you eat. I've included few pages here as well. The recipes also has calories for each serving as well which is very good for controlling diet and all. All in all I really do recommend this book!

This is a fantastic book. I use it regularly and even my extremely fussy son will eat the recipes. We love the miso-glazed pork recipe.I know that the idea is to make up meals for several days, but so far we have eaten everything straight from cooking.

This book is amazing! It doesn't only come with recipes, but also on how to organise them, and how to keep them for planning your lunch box, for instance how you should keep them to be frozen or if they cannot be frozen, and so. It also comes with some tricks on how to successfully make stuff such as rice balls.

Excellent book, packed with recipes and pictures. There are also detailed info on how to assemble the bento boxes as well as great tips on hygiene when handling, storing and packing food.

Great recipes, shame that quite a lot of the ingredients are not easily accessible where I live or expensive. But the ones I can do are delicious and good advice given on storage and cleaning as well.

Super helpful and amazing! It contains the calories and pictures showing the process so you can't go wrong.

Great book with easy to follow recipes. As many of the dishes are new to me, I especially appreciate the large number of photos included in the book.

This is so useful - loads of ideas for making things in advance (and freezing) so saving time

I searched vegan lunch books, this product came up between other vegan books. Not vegan.

Love this book. It's full of fantastic ideas of how to fill your bento box with interesting and healthy dishes, and how to pre-cook, store and freeze these for use at a later date. Highly recommended. Has given me so many ideas.

This book is packed full of really usefull and informative info and recipes and well worth the read If you are into this style of food then this might be the book for you however some of the recipes can be a bit vague with the technique, a very good book.

Easy recipes and clear instructions on food hygiene and storage of food. I love this book and the food is delicious

Lots of photos really help. Full of practical tips.

Great book. Not just about what looks good in a bento box unlike others. Has great recipes and options for freezing/refridgerating as well.

Well written and designed.
