From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen

4.5 stars. I decided to round down.

I've made a couple meals from this cookbook and have read through it extensively.

The Last Meal Shrimp Alfredo: Literally incredible. Can't overstate how good this is.
Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies: Delicious! We loved the addition of the peanut butter.
The King Classic Caesar: Very, very good. Excited to make again.

Why not 5 stars? Many of the recipes cause for excessive amounts of unhealthy ingredients: heavy cream, butter, and the like. That's the main reason why I haven't tried more of the recipes in the book. However, if that's okay with you, you'll surely find this to be a 5 star cookbook, no doubt.

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

Love how Snoop's classic cool nature meets his love of cooking. Creative and entertaining, and I can't wait to try the recipes!

The comments from Snoop are fun and interesting, but in terms of an actual cookbook there’s nothing new to learn.

fast-paced

As a read, it’s fun. As an instructional manual for cooking, I guess it’s accurate, but has few surprises. I DO plan to try the biscuits and gravy and a few other recipes in here. Maybe I’ll come back and re-review after!

Entertaining as a read, lame as a cookbook. (Boring recipes.)

4.5 Fun little cookbook with doable recipes balanced 50/50 with great extras including little stories/intros for each recipe, snack lists, drinks, and even party menus with music playlists. Exactly what I was hoping for from this cookbook!

This dude is very impressive yet down to earth with it. I love this ccokbook! Of course staying true all his drinks have Gin in them.

Highly entertaining and everything you’d expect from Snoop Dogg writing a cookbook. There’s a recipe for gin and juice that is literally gin...in orange juice. A delightful forward by Martha Stewart. A recipe for a bologna sandwich. It’s equal parts absurd and hilarious. Nothing really special about the recipes themselves other than the funny commentary. Definitely worth an add to your cookbook collection but unlikely to be something I reach for frequently while cooking.
