Luxirare – Bento Box

So some of you may know that when I am hungry I like to Google/Flickr my food cravings, it never helps to subdue my food wants, and it usually ends in me trying to make something elaborate for myself to eat.

Well, I have been reading Luxirare for a while and while some of her foods are probably a bit too rare or far too difficult for me to make, (like these crisps, sea urchin, this cake, this eggs benedict and this insanely elaborate avacado salad… but having said that, I am going to make these pie pops this weekend) I love this bento box.

3 delicious courses boxed up, including these jelly shots, a cobb salad (Bacon, cheese, lettuce, avocado and grilled chicken), teeny tiny sandwiches (Turkey, bacon, avocado, mayo) and a shrimp roll (chives, cucumber, soba noodles, carrots and fried egg ribbons), then banana, peanut butter and chocolate sandwich! Yummy yum yum.

When describing the recipe Luxirare says:

Are you a trust fund baby in your late twenties about to be cut off from your parent’s “flowing” bank account? Are you currently caught in a domestic dispute? Is your boyfriend texting you less? I have a little solution here that *might* work. Pack a lunch for that person. But be deliberate.

Using the archetype of traditional sushi rolls, I built a bento box (Japanese lunch with compartmentalized sections of food usually meticulously presented and wrapped) with three separate courses.

Take a look at some more of these pictures below and gaze in wonderment at the amount of detail that went into making this bento. Completely adorable!! It was so difficult trying to decide which pictures to blog, skip over to Luxirare to see the rest of them.
