[J.D. Holman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have finished reading this, but now I need to try some of the recipes before rating the book.

[GONZA · Rating 3 out of 5]

The recipes are well explained and this book is full of photographs that also explain how to "box" the Bento, but it seems to me all the same quite complicated, it is certainly not a book for the "Bento beginners".

Le ricette sono ben spiegate e questo libro é pieno di fotografie che spiegano anche come "inscatolare" il Bento, ma mi sembra tutto lo stesso parecchio complicato, non é certo un libro per i "Bento beginners".

THANKS EDELWEISS FOR THE PREVIEW!
