Cooking with the Bear

On Sunday, I decided to do a new video cooking with Max and Bear. Which turned out to be Cooking with the Bear for a few minutes. Before he went to see what Max was doing.

They do say you should never work with Children or Animals. This was certainly the case in this instance, and has to be the worst video I have made so far.

The Planning

I had it all planned. Bear could sit up on the bench and help me with Max sitting at my side. I did a very easy 2 ingredients recipe, what could go wrong. Famous last words.

It was more of a case of what could go right, we got everything set up in the studio, the dogs followed me up quite happily, Max came and sat beside me and Bear sat nicely on the bench and stuck his nose in the flour and looked very cute with his floury nose.  We got ready to film and it all went wrong.

Max walked off and was messing about, Bear stayed for a minute before leaping off to see what Max was doing and then was around my feet attacking my shoes and then the back drop, all the while I was trying to just make some dog treats with 2 ingredients.

The recipe for 2 ingredient dog treats is

• 8oz of pureed carrot (yes I went back to my baby food making days and pureed carrots) which my daughter thought looked disgusting and did not want to try
• 2 cups of wholemeal flour

You add the flour and puree to a bowl and combine together, roll out on a floured surface and then cut and place on a baking tray.  Cook in a pre heated oven of 180 for 20-25 minutes.

You can use mashed bananas or anything else you can think of but I opted for carrots this time.

You can see just how much of a disaster this was

They did still get their treats after and seemed to enjoy them, you can find my other recipes for dog treats here.
