Canneloni and a Sandwich

For this lunch I tried something new, a vegan recipe for canneloni with a vegetable filling.
I also brought a cereal bar, bread with tomato paste and avocado plus some raw kohlrabi. I just love kohlrabi and was so happy to find some at an Indian (Pakistani?) shop. They also had a lot of other strange-looking fruit and vegetable, I suppose I will buy something new next time, it's always nice to broaden one's horizens.

Potato Stirfry and Tomato Soup

Hhhhmm, this was so nice. I made an Italian potato stirfry - not photogenic but yummy - and accompanied it by a tomato soup. The soup was a convenience product, but the recipes for the potatos and my snack - puff paste with a chocolate-nut-filling - were from a German cookbook with vegan Italian recipes:
Cucina vegana by Heike Kügler-Anger. I'm a big fan of hers and always recommend her books!

Japanese Box, Italian Lunch

So, I bought myself a bento box! This is a three tiered model by Unit Colors.
I had been tempted by this line ever since I saw it first on the internet, because of its beautiful colours.
I actually did not think these boxes would be superpractical for my style of life, but then I found one with a 50% discount in a fancy-schmancy shop just around the corner from my office and succumbed.
It has one big container and two slightly smaller ones. I like the fact that you can pack things that are going to be reheated and those that are eaten cold separately, and that I can transport everything vertically.
But although the box has a total volume of nearly one liter, which is a lot, I feel kind of restricted by the form of the containers.
Here is what I packed into the bento box on its first outing:

In the middle we have my lunch, which consisted of gnocci with a vegan mushroom-sauce,
on the left a skewer with cherry tomatoes and pieces of marinated mozzarella and on the right puff pastry with a filling of fresh spinach.
