“Face Food Recipes” Launch Party & Signing at Giant Robot NY, 12/12/09
November 11, 2009
Join MBP and Christopher D Salyers at Giant Robot NY on Saturday, December 12 from 6-8PM for drinks, noshes, fun and Face Food Recipes book-signage. And, bring your own homemade charaben to the event and receive a FREE copy of of the book!
Two years ago, Christopher’s Face Food: The Visual Creativity of Japanese Bento Boxes brought the curious, cute and infectiously popular phenomenon of charaben, or character bento boxes, into homes across the globe. Face Food Recipes builds upon the success of “Face Food” with a new collection of charaben that also includes informative how-to guides for making lunches that look like your favorite animated pop culture figures.
From Astro Boy, to Hello Kitty, to Naruto to pirates, Salyers has collected recipes and how-to’s from the best of the best: Japanese mothers.
Along with stunningly detailed examples of fancy foodstuff, Christopher D Salyers has compiled a glossary of Japanese culinary terms and techniques geared toward making sure you understand how to make rice balls, dye eggs and slice seaweed.
And did we mention that FFR makes the perfect holiday gift for the cook, Japanophile, or pop-cult lover in your life? Yeah. It does.
