Face Food
Design site Core 77 points to writer and designer Christopher Salyers' Face Food: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes, a collection images of the creative and complex brand of bento boxes known as charaben, where rice, tofu, seaweed, and other foodstuffs are transformed into kids' lunches inspired by anime, television, and movies. In
addition to photography, the book includes a bento "how-to" and interviews with charaben enthusiasts. Salyers' writes: "For all of you who have ever eaten or prepared a slap-dash PB&J sandwich, or have been victim of school cafeterias, I offer up these pages as proof that when you show this much dedication to what you or your child eats, the end result will be nothing short of astounding." $10.15 at amazon.com.
