Book Reviews of Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals on the Go

Book Review: You couldn't get this book away from me
Summary: 5 Stars

A lot of cookbooks give you single recipes without an idea of how to make them turn into a meal. Every page of this book contains all the recipes for the pictured meal -- in some cases, more than one full meal per page.

It's a cookbook for people who've read cookbooks and appreciate information efficiency -- rather than taking the time and page space to spell out "cut the carrot into matchstick-sized pieces, approximately one-eighth-inch square by two inches long, also known as julienning," it says "julienne the carrots." So it assumes you know some basic terminology, but it's never made an assumption I haven't been familiar with.

And for most recipes, the quantities are given in single-serving amounts - ideal for me as a single person and easily scalable. I love this book.

(Full disclosure: I've semiprofessionally taught Japanese cooking classes.)
