…beginning with these cooking demos! Every day, I’ve been cooking and photographing cute food, writing up the story, and making kawaii drawings on Illustrator. I’m bursting to show you Cute Yummy Time (that’s the official title) – but patience! You’ll have to wait until it’s released in November 2009 by Perigee/Penguin Books USA.

Here’s a sneak peek… in this video, I demonstrate how to make adorabe buckwheat and berry pancakes shaped like elephants. Kawaii! Soundtrack: Schwarz Stein – New Vogue Children; And One – Military Fashion Show; Velvet Eden – Hamono no Koi

Here, Basil Farrow and I show you how to make cute heart and star-shaped hardboiled eggs… using bento molds from Japan! Who would have thought of that? Halfway though the video, my kitty steals the show.
Soundtrack: Aural Vampire – Preservative Woman; Malice Mizer – Madrigal

You’ll see much more in our upcoming recipe book, Cute Yummy Time. And you’ll only have to wait until July to get a copy of Wild, Crazy Theme Restaurants (my upcoming book with Mark Batty Publisher).
