I don’t know about you, but I love to play with my food. I am a huge supporter of playing with food. Sometimes it is how you come up with the most amazing things to eat.

But one new cookbook, Yum-Yum Bento Box Recipe Book shows all those fans of the bento box, have they can create meals that look like fun edible animals!
