Cooking With Dog
Apr 10th, 2009 by Yoko
In other frivolous matters, I’ve become completely obsessed with this series of videos. Francis, a cute poodle, hosts this show about cooking Japanese dishes. I’m strangely enamored by the narrating voice, and the food– well, it’s making me positively homesick for my mom’s cooking, and I will really just need to start making washoku again.
And why didn’t I think of this? I cook, and I have a dog– a dog who will not sit still like Francis and will eagerly wait to pounce on anything that falls on the floor while I’m cooking… hmm… that won’t film well, I guess.
I love me some udon.
That dog is so very well behaved. I enjoy his voice, too, although it took me a few seconds to understand that it was supposed to be the dog narrating.
I’m sure that you could teach Buck to be more helpful in the kitchen–or at least less of a scavenger–but I don’t know if you could manage the voice training or teach him enough cooking terminology to make him a decent narrator.
