Great photos, but short on practicality.:

I was somewhat disappointed when I received this book. I was hoping for a more practical how-to guide for making bentos. There is absolutely no info in this book besides the recipes. I was also disappointed that the recipes were few in number and, overall, not very exciting. The recipes require ingredients that are not particularly easy to find. However, if you are just looking for some bento eye candy or you live near a Japanese grocery, this book might be for you.

Great ideas for lunch meals:

If you like to take your own lunch and if you have an affinity for Japanese food, try it! It takes a bit of time to prepare Bento boxes, but it's fun and brings something else and healthier into your lunch boxes. Make some more to be prepared to have you co-workers try something! And it gives you lots of ideas to experiment with food.

Waste of Money:

If you are wanting to learn more about the art of bento boxes this is not the book for you. The book consists of only recipes. Why is it called Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals on the Go? I have no idea. It was a waste of money.

Inspiring:

For people looking to have a more balanced lunch, this book can be an inspiration. Why not make the lunch box colorful in content AND nutrition? A lot of the pictures feature boxes with fruits that are not only eye-catching but also appetizing. Typical American lunchbox is so boring, making people think that American mothers do not have nutrition knowledge and practice.
