I love that there are so many options for Bento-style lunches! The reader has the freedom to substitute favorite vegetables and dishes, mixing them with the recipes in this book.
The recipes are all simple and easy to cook, using basics like rice, beans, chicken, and veggies. Each recipe has substitutions and labels for vegan, pescatarian, nut-free, and gluten-free.
There are also instructions for how to plan your time, scheduling prep time in the morning or the day before to keep your Bento fresh, or freezing several Bento boxes at a time for later use.
I only wish this book had more photos of the recipes, and more tips about freezing bento boxes for longer storage. I can’t wait to get started with some of these recipes and make some Bento-style lunches for myself!
