Hi, I'm Diane Li

Hi, I'm a mom, educator and professional chef. I can speak 4 languages freely, and I have more than one decade of live experience in Japan. I have a deep understanding of Japanese food culture. I would like to share my Bento (Japanese style lunch box) cuisine experience with you through my blog, and choose what ever language(s) among 4 that you feel comfortable to read my blog!
