Colours of Food

Hello, Karstuhl here!

The food that is usually presented to us dogs is brown, without any extra colours. This does not matter much for us dogs, we generally have much less ability to see colours than humans.

There are instances when food and colour go together, though. Daniel told me about his rules of thumb when cooking meat sauce. He chops onions, then fry them until they are yellow. Then he fries the red minced meat until it is brown, and adds tomato paste until the sauce is red. This is the basic sauce, then he just adds salt and other spices and some water, and the sauce is done.

I like this meat sauce. It is great to know that colours can be so helpful in cooking.
