** La Carmina’s CUTE YUMMY TIME cookbook, inspired by Japanese character bento decoration, is now in major bookstores and available online! Visit www.lacarmina.com for more information and to order.*** NHK, Japan’s national public broadcaster, shot a 20 minute TV documentary about character bentos that focused on my work and recipe book, Cute Yummy Time. In one segment, I taught Harlem students how to make healthy, cute bentos. It was a success — the children loved it and ate vegetables that they’d never tried before! Here’s a slideshow of the action. The New York Wave episode about cute bento boxes will air this February on NHK; Ill be sure to let you know the exact time and put up segments on YouTube (please subscribe so you wont miss out).

Thank you to each of you for reading my blog; you make my work possible, and I appreciate your comments and camaraderie.
Those children looked adorable, and you looked like you really enjoyed yourself! I want your book now ^_^
YAY!
The Anpanman museum is impressive, I must admit!
Definitely!! Although I’ve seen lots of cute-faced pastries in Japanese bakeries.
The kid at 1:41 made my day!!! God bless him forever!!
Hhhhm, clever idea, using locally available ingredients. I still haven’t seen any smiley faced bentos at the kombini… would certainly help the salarymen get over their zangyou depression!
