Hi thank you so much for this tutorial, easy to follow and understand (even for a French blonde like me ! We manufacture a complete line of insulated lunch bags, portion control containers, water bottles and shakers that make it easy for you and your family to bring healthy food and drinks with you wherever you go.

I've long admired the gorgeous and creative Japanese style bento though, and I've been wanting to try making sushi for the last few years (my boys love sushi but I've only ever bought it ready made). Currently, I have hanging over my sewing area a vintage handkerchief from my great grandma that is the EXACT fabric you used for the outside that is the food with calories on it.

After a leisurely lunch of chicken curry, hake, prawns, potatoes and several drinks, we headed for Boulder Beach, a short walk away to see the African penguins.

Use the second punch to cut out the wings, feet, beak and eye shapes and stick them into place to complete the penguin. The restaurant is table service and offers a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for families, couples or solo visitors. As I've been writing a blog about bento style lunches for over three years now, I think it really is time I attempt to make some more traditional Japanese style food to pack in my bento boxes occasionally!The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

I would like to note that I am not in any way an expert on Japanese food, I'm improvising somewhat so my methods and ingredients might not be entirely traditional - but if it looks and tastes good, I'm happy! I then filled the sandwich, and added the plastic handle saved from a Lindt chocolate carrot to turn it into an umbrella, adding lines with a red edible marker pen.
