She shares her creations on her blog Cute Obento.
I always doubted my ability to put together a cute bento lunch because it looks so complicated, but Crystal and Maki make it easy by breaking everything down step-by-step. And did I mention the ideas in this book are absolutely adorable? Because they are! Kiersten Frase, founding editor of Oh My Veggies These two Bento-Box afficionados have raised the bar for this lunch box art form another notch. Small, healthy portions, dressed up and packed for portability, these small lunch boxes are a source of delight for young and old alike. Anna Jedrziewski, <i>Retailing Insight</i>
