Just Bento

Someone’s loss may be your gain…. ^_^ continue reading...

A small but critical correction for the Soup and Muffin Bento which starts on page 102.

On page 103, the amount of flour in the Basic Savory Muffin batter for the Cheese and Edamame Muffin recipe is wrong. Instead of 1 cup (125g) of cake flour, use 2 cups (250g) cake flour (or all-purpose flour). This applies for all of the muffin variations on the next page too.

My apologies for this typo!

Note that this error appears in the first edition only. It’s been corrected in subsequent editions.

The Just Bento Cookbook was mentioned quite prominently on a daytime news and current topics show called Wide! Scramble (ワイド！スクランブル）on TV Asahi, a Japanese televison channel, as part of a nearly 7 minute feature about the growing popularity of bentos around the world. I was really excited to see my book so prominently mentioned on a national network of course, but it’s also an interesting look at how the Japanese media regards the increasing popularity of bentos internationally. continue reading...
