Paris Manga by TGS 2026: Nathalie Homs and Chocoh Cook Up a Show

A familiar voice from French television, animation and video games met a digital entertainer with a massive online following at the 40th Paris Manga by TGS. Nathalie Homs, the actress behind numerous French-language characters, returned with her culinary entertainment concept Une Voix en Cuisine, sharing the spotlight with YouTube personality Chocoh, also known online as ChocolatAndVanillah. Cookies provided the theme for this edition of the presentation, transforming a simple baking recipe into an accessible meeting point between performance, food and contemporary creator culture. The collaboration was described in the event material supplied for this report; a precise stage time and independent recording of the session have not been established.

The setting was particularly fitting. Held on October 3 and 4, 2026, at Paris Nord Villepinte, the convention marked both its 40th edition and the 20th anniversary of a show launched in 2006. Organizers advertised 35,500 square metres, 300 stands and four stages, bringing together manga, animation, cinema, television, comics, cosplay, gaming and web personalities. A cooking demonstration might initially seem unusual at a manga convention, but it neatly captured the event's broader identity: pop culture is increasingly built around the people, voices and communities connecting different media.

Nathalie Homs: From Regina Mills to the Kitchen

For many French viewers, Nathalie Homs is more immediately recognizable by sound than by sight. Her dubbing work includes Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills in Once Upon a Time, Rachael Harris as Linda Martin in Lucifer, and Manu in the animated world of Titeuf. Those roles demand strikingly different performances: Regina's dramatic shifts between menace and vulnerability, Linda's measured conversational tone, and the quick comic timing associated with children's animation. The versatility that makes such casting possible also gives a live cooking format an unexpected theatrical dimension: the voice can become part of the entertainment rather than simply a means of explaining a recipe.

The kitchen is not merely an incidental stage prop in her career. Nathalie Homs has long connected acting with gastronomy through Une Voix en Cuisine, a format built around recipes and guests. Her supplied biography also describes culinary training at École Ritz Escoffier and her voice-over work on the French baking competition Le Meilleur Pâtissier. These connections make the cookie demonstration a particularly coherent extension of her professional identity: timing, precision and presentation matter both in a recording studio and in baking, even though the disciplines use very different tools.

Chocoh: A Gaming Creator Steps Into a Different Spotlight

Chocoh's route to an audience began on the internet rather than in a recording booth. Known as ChocolatAndVanillah, the French creator developed gaming-oriented videos before expanding into challenges, sketches and general entertainment. The background supplied for this article identifies MovieStarPlanet among her early subjects and Fortnite as an important part of her subsequent growth. Gameplay, roleplay and comic situations helped make her videos more than straightforward demonstrations of how to play. Her appeal has been tied to recurring entertainment formats and an informal connection with viewers.

Cookies were a smart choice for such a crossover. They are familiar, visually understandable and easy to discuss without specialist culinary vocabulary. The appeal of a live baking segment also comes from what cannot be fully scripted: the exchanges between guests, the sequence of practical steps and the playful tension between getting a recipe right and keeping an audience entertained. No specific onstage mishap, joke or outcome can be responsibly reported without a verified eyewitness account or recording; the significance lies in the announced format and the distinct creative worlds it brought together.

Why Une Voix en Cuisine Belongs at a Pop-Culture Convention

The collaboration also highlights how conventions have changed. Once described primarily through stalls, collectibles and screenings, major fan events now give considerable space to creators whose audiences move fluidly between video games, streaming, social networks, animation and television. Nathalie Homs represents the craft behind recognizable fictional characters; Chocoh represents a creator-led model in which the personality and the channel are inseparable. Putting them together around a recipe offers a more personal kind of encounter than a traditional panel about credits or subscriber milestones.
