Just Bento

Hi everyone. We just pre-ordered Makiko Itoh's book 'Just Bento Cookbook: Everyday lunches to go' for the office. If you didn't know, she is the author of the popular 'Just Bento' blog. Her site is dedicated to making bentoes which are healthy and simple to make. It will be delivered in November and we are so excited! Watch this space for the book review.



Pre-order it for yourself on Amazon.

Egg Mould

Can you guess what this is?



It's a boiled egg! Can you believe it? It's so easy to make, once you boil your egg, just peel it and pop it into the egg mould. Watch our video to see how it works.



See our shop to purchase these moulds.
