Hoo ray my very first bento books has arrived. I've decided to buy a few books while i'm in the bento mood. I've got these books from fishpond as they deliver them for free (in Australia) if you spend over a certain amount on books, DVDs or toys and their "prices are better than AmazonTM. Guaranteed.." I will post a review on the books later, so for now here are the list (excuse the pics):
Yum-Yum Bento Box: Fresh recipes for adorable lunches by Crystal Watanabe and Maki Ogawa
Face food: the visual creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes & Face food recipes: A how to guide by Christopher D Salyers

Bento Love: Easy Japanese cooking by Kentaro Kobayashi
That's it for now! phew now that the books are here, I've got to get bento making going! Soon..
