Cooking With Dog – A beloved series in which an unnamed Japanese chef cooks, while a toy poodle named Francis looks on and narrates the recipes in English (with a charming French accent). Sadly, Francis passed away in 2016, and the show has since slowed down, releasing a new video about once a month. However it’s still a classic channel for easy-to-replicate versions of Japanese favourites, from sukiyaki to bento boxes and several ways with udon, alongside a range of dishes with Chinese and Western influences.
