Join the Bento Bonanza with Monroe County 4-H! In this workshop, youth will learn simple recipes and cutting techniques to create their own bento lunch box—a unique work of edible art! Participants will also learn about the role of various types of bento in Japanese culture, fun Japanese food facts, and practice how to hold chopsticks!
For this event, youth are invited to participate either in person at Wegman Lodge in Seneca Park or virtually. If you would like to participate virtually, kits will be available for pick-up at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County Office (2449 St, Paul Blvd, Rochester NY 14617). This program is 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM.
Participants will receive:
- A reusable lunch container & chopsticks to use again and again!
- Decorative, reusable food picks and vegetable cutters to decorate their bento boxes
- Rice & Furikake Seasoning Packet
To prevent cross-contamination due to COVID-19 protocols, participants will need to provide the rest of the ingredients to create their box. More details will be sent upon registration, but will include a few types of veggies, fruit, and protein. The beauty of bento is that you can easily incorporate what you have on hand at home!
This event is open to youth of all ages. There will be a supply fee of $15 for participating youth.
The workshop will be limited to the first 17 registrants that sign up. Please register by Wednesday, May 5th.
Please contact Lori Koenick at lbk75@cornell.edu with any questions.
