All food is pretty, apart from a cheap beige buffet, but bento boxes are lovely, everything is separated, neat and where it should be, exactly how you wish your life was. I tried my own, a Mediterranean one; onion, red pepper and mozzarella frittata, butternut squash curls and lettuce and mayo rolls, really it was a 'bits that I needed to use up from the fridge' sort of lunch done in a neat fashion. At some point soon I'll buy all the ingredients to make a healthy Japanese bento box, perhaps not as cutesie as some that I've found, but they do look good. I also came across Carl Warner and his 'foodscapes', with bento boxes being the link between beautiful food and food made in to wonderful pictures it is a gorgeous stretch of the craft of cookery.
