■Ingredients
・1 carrot
・4 Brussels sprouts
・1/4 broccoli
・3 baby corns
・1 endive
・3 sausages
・5 mini tomatoes
・3 radishes
・1/2 cucumber
・1/8 red paprika
・1/8 green paprika
・1/4 daikon
・1 Camembert cheese
・10g white wine
・black pepper
■How to Make
1）Boil and cool the Brussels sprouts and broccoli. (mixed vegetables can be used only if defrosted naturally; do not boil)
2）Cut the sausages into an octopus shape and fry.
3）Place the daikon into a big container and surround it with endive.
4）Make flowers with the vegetables.
→Carrot: Slice the skin thinly with a peeler and twist with your hands.
→Radish: Slice the radish into thin circles and slide them onto a bamboo skewer one by one.
5）Serve up the vegetables and octopus sausages on bamboo skewers.
6）Use a spoon or kitchen knife to make a well in the Camembert cheese. Pour the white wine into the well and place the pepper corns into a heat-proof dish. Heat for 20 seconds at 500W, take out and stir. Heat again for another 20 seconds on 500W and then return to the cheese.
7）Done.
Vegetables and Camembert cheese fondue go so well together! Not only does it look good, but it tastes good too. You can use whatever you like in the recipe to make completely different salads. It doesn’t take long to make, so if you’re one for frozen foods, even the busiest person can make this. If you tried this at home, be sure to post it on your social media!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s Easy Recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. In this recipe, I'll show you how to make a delicious banana cake that is tasty even if refrigerated! Ingredients
Makes a 18cm pound cake2 ripe bananas100g unsalted butter50g granulated sugar2 eggs100g weak flour 1 Bring the butter to room temperature and mix it with the sugar until it becomes white. I used unsalted margarine for this. 2 Gradually add both the egg whites and yolks and pour slowly into the mixture while mixing. Mash the banana with a fork, add to the bowl, and mix. 3 Sieve in the flour and mix lightly. 4 Bake at 160℃ for 40-45 minutes and it's ready! I used a 15cm pound cake tin and muffin tin to make mine. If using a muffin tin, bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool and use the edge of the pound cake tin to cut ears. Finish by using a chocolate pen to draw on Rilakkuma's face. Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes! Kaori Kubota (@kaopan27) I live in Hokkaido and I love to make character themed foods, desserts and pastries♡ I want to see my family smile, so I enjoy putting in a bit of effort to make character foods and changing food into something cute♡ You can see more of my character foods and character bento boxes on my Instagram page → @kaopan72 -

The story of Winnie the Pooh follows the titular character who lives in the Hundred Acre Wood and his adventures to find honey. The meal kit was designed with friendship and bonds in mind: in a time when we can't travel as often to see the people we love, Pooh is the perfect comrade and the embodiment of friendship perfect . Pooh's yellow face is made from rice seasoned simply with saffron-infused sofrito. His face, which would be a lot of effort to try and create from scratch, can be made easily with the stencil sheet and paprika powder provided. The meal kit is made to capture the feeling that your friends and loved ones are always with you. In the kit, you'll find a recipe card detailing how to make the food, a lunch mat with an illustration of Pooh and his friends on it, and a message card which you can mail to someone special. To promote the kit, Oisix is holding a social media campaign.
