->''"Hi, I am Francis, the host of this show, WebVideo/CookingWithDog."''

''Cooking With Dog'' is a series of Website/YouTube cooking videos showing how to prepare various Japanese dishes. The dog part comes from the show's "host" and narrator Francis, a grey Poodle, and [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not because they cook with dog meat]].

!!''Cooking With Dog'' features examples of:

* CatchPhrase: "Good luck in the kitchen!"
* CombatTentacles: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYwaX_Z0r6w "There are many tentacles, but don't be scared. They will not attack you."]]
* CookingShow
* DontTryThisAtHome: In the video about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKHFxJ4fDLA boiling a fresh octopus arm]], Francis says that some people who live in coastal areas where octopus is caught will dedicate a particular washing machine at their local laundromat for cleaning the goo off of octopus arms, claiming that the machine does the job faster than the hand-rubbing with coarse salt method that Chef is doing and also tenderizes the meat. Without missing a beat, Francis gently warns not to try this at your local public laundry.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The chef is referred to only as "Chef".
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a cooking show, with a dog. [[spoiler:Or was...]]
* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Some of the newer videos are of "Francis" (Or rather, a plushie of him), visiting various food establishments and restaurants in Japan.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSPaYSzOkc Green Tea Mochi]] episode, the image of Francis on Chef's apron is animated at points and talks along with the narration, perhaps slightly taking the edge off of the fact that this episode postdates [[spoiler:the real Francis's passing.]]
* HolidayMode: Francis wears a Santa hat in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmLkPBut8nI Christmas Cake video]]. ChristmasMode is in full effect for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1KreouGo3M Crepe video]], with the back of the kitchen decked out in lights and decorations.
* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: According to some of the comments, at least.
* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: The show clearly has people on staff who are fluent in English, given that the show is narrated in largely grammatically-correct English and has embedded English subtitles for Chef, yet the show has kept the name "Cooking With Dog" and the ending tagline "YOU LIKE BUTTON". Presumably, they realize that these add to the charm of the series.
* InterspeciesRomance: Parodied, and one-sided in the narration for the Takoyaki and Ebiyaki video- after plugging one of her videos, Francis says that if he weren't a toy poodle, he would've asked emmymadeinjapan out on a date.
* LuckyCharmsTitle: The "o" in dog is replaced with a paw print. Originally, the two o's in cooking were as well.
* PreciousPuppy: It wouldn't be quite as cute without a dog acting as the host for a cooking show.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: Every video ends with "RATE ME!" or [[YouNoTakeCandle "YOU LIKE BUTTON!"]]
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Frédéric Chopin's Minute Waltz plays in the background of most videos. [[GeniusBonus It's also known as the Puppy Waltz.]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Francis sounds like a Japanese man trying to emulate a French accent. The result is strange and hilarious.
