Cuter than cute - Priscilla Kannarr - Chandler, Z
This is probably a better book for those younger cooks out there interested in making bento or highly popularized Japanese cooking. It's simple and the manga style cartoon instructions are easy to follow. I would have preferred more realistic pictures or photos of the food to better guage proportions but it was a cute read nevertheless.
