Bored of Sandwiches? Try a Bento for Lunch!

Submitted by Nathalie on Tuesday, 4 August 2009No Comment

Coming from Japan, bentos are the trendy healthy packed lunch option at the moment! You need a bit of time to prepare them but they’re so pretty and appetizing that they’re  definitely worth the effort…

Originally, it’s made of rice, fish and meat but you can really fill the box with whatever you like or have in the fridge.

If you want to learn how to make bento, I recommend you read Anna the Red’s Bento Factory blog. She gives lots of tips and techniques for the shapes, colours and ingredients to use.

Below are examples of what you can do with a little patience and imagination… have fun!
