About

Hello! My name is Donna. During the day, I am a working professional, but at night I love to cook and meal prep bentos for work. Since I often work overtime in my profession, it has become important to me to have balanced and nutritious lunches for work.

I often find that bento ideas and recipes are geared toward cute lunches for children. However, I wanted to design meals that looked appetizing, tasted delicious, and were suitable to bring to work. I decided to create Work Bento to catalog my bentos, share my ideas, and provide suggestions.

On Work Bento you will find my flavor pairing ideas, meal prep tips, and references to resources I use, including recipe books and blogs. Many, if not all recipes, will be Japanese if not Japanese-inspired. I hope I am able to provide access to recipes that are usually only available in Japanese.

Thanks for stopping by!
