Bread and a Dog

A quirky, photographic exploration of two beloved subjects: breakfasts and dogs.

Curiosity. Longing. Hunger. Bread and a Dog is a quirky photographic journey into the psychic trauma of living with a professional food stylist... as a dog. Japanese food stylist Kuwahar Natsuko photographs her breakfast, laid out every morning, in beautifully arranged aerial tableaus with an unexpected twist, her omnipresent, exceptionally well-trained dog. Through 100 photographs, readers will delight not only in Natsuko's delicious meals served on beautiful dishes, glassware and flatware, but in the dog's enthrallment with what is happening on the table above him.

Presented as a sequence of photographs, the book concludes with recipes for each breakfast, and tips and tricks on food photography from Natsuko herself.

A perfect gift for animal lovers.

Features:

Recipes and tips for successful and stylish breakfasts from the author, a professional food stylist.

100 charming photographs of an adorable dog taken from a refreshing and relatable point of view. Perfect gift or impulse buy for animal or food lovers.
