"If the upcoming release of Snoop Dogg’s new cookbook doesn’t get
you excited, then we don’t know what will. From running to be an X
Factor judge to co-hosting a cooking show with Martha Stewart, the
46-year-old rapper is always full of surprises. Now, the Doggfather
is making his contribution to the rap cookbook genre with his new
‘From Crook to Cook’ book, featuring 50 of his all-time favourite
recipes including lobster, chicken and ‘snacks to satisfy those
munchies’."

"When Snoop Dogg emerged from Long Beach, California as Dr Dre's
prodigy in 1992, spitting out versus to Who Am I? (What's My Name)
and cementing himself as a pioneer of West Coast rap, no one in the
universe expected we'd be taking his culinary advice a couple of
decades later.
But it's happened. Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. is making his debut
into the cookbook world with From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes
from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen. The book features 50 recipes which
are apparently from Snoop's personal collection, although this
won't come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to
the rapper's recent movements.
The 46-year-old has slowly established himself as one half of a
very unlikely double act with Martha Stewart - AKA the American
Delia Smith. Their show Potluck Dinner Party was even nominated for
an Emmy and as a good friend of the star, Stewart even wrote the
foreword in From Crook to Cook."

"The Last Meal wasn’t Snoop Dogg’s last meal at all. Nearly 20
years after the rapper released his fifth studio album, he’s gone
and written a cookbook: From Crook to Cook, published 23 October.
‘From Cook to Crook, Platinum recipes from tha boss Dogg’s kitchen‘
has been eagerly awaited since it was announced earlier this
year."

"Snoop Dogg is the lifestyle guru we need right now"
*The Quartz*
"[Martha] Stewart says Snoop has “surprised” her along the way with
his unique cooking. He certainly has a unique way with words. “You
know it’s blazin’ up in my kitchen,” says Snoop, adding in his
introduction: “Like a real seasoned playa, my tastes have evolved
over the years. But while I’ve learned how to get down with that
top-notch luxury cuisine, I’m still prone to keep it way hood with
some of those LBC [Long Beach, California] classics…Trust your big
homie. This is the best cookbook ever made.”
It’s a big claim for a book which features an entire spread about
which cereals are best to eat when you’re high (Lucky Charms and
Honey Nut Cheerios, in case you are wondering). There are, however,
some pretty good recipes: Snoop’s favourite fried chicken and
waffles, apple pie, tacos, mac and cheese, “billionaire’s bacon,”
even lobster thermidor. A section dedicated to cocktails contains
the original recipe for, what else, gin and juice, inspired by
Snoop Dogg’s 1993 song of the same name."

"The rapper Snoop Dogg has a domestic side. First came his TV show
with Martha Stewart, now he’s written a cookbook."
*The Times Weekend*
"Granted, Snoop Dog might not be the first person you think of when
it comes to baking, but his new cookbook, ‘From Crook to Cook’,
might well leave you surprised!"
*Food Heaven*
"Snoop Dogg just ventured into the cookbook world with From Crook
to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen and we're
here for it — gin and juice and all."
*Popsugar*
"Now that he is on a show with Martha Stewart, it was only natural
for the Doggfather to drop his own cookbook, which includes easy
food recipes and his own unique take on gin and juice."
*Bravo TV*
"He has also released his first cookbook 'From Crook to Cook'.
'Platinum recipes from the boss doggs kitchen... the first ever
snoop cook book comin soon to @ChronicleBooks,' the 17-time Grammy
nominated rapper shared on Instagram and Twitter.
The cookbook will feature 50 of Snoop's favorite recipes that
includes things like baked mac and cheese, chicken and waffles,
soft flour tacos, easy orange chicken and baby back ribs."

"It has pride of place on my cookbook shelf — and not just for the
novelty value."
*Harriet Addison, The Times*
"Complete the Snoop superfan's kitchen with this delicious and
hilarious cooking companion. With Snoop's favorite recipes, go-to
snacks, pantry essentials, and stories from the star's kitchen,
this has everything you need to cook like the Top Dogg."
*Apartment Therapy*
"None of the recipes required special skills or cooking techniques,
and all of them could be perfected without much practice. Which is
more that I can say than a lot of other recipes out there these
days. Also, I'm all for cookbooks that help people make tasty,
homemade versions of their favorite restaurant comfort foods so
this gets my stamp of approval!"
*Michelle No, Buzzfeed*
"World renowned recording artist Snoop Dogg has published his first
cookbook, following the success of his food television show with
Martha Stewart. The recipes are full of the rapper’s take on
everything from mac and cheese to filet mignon."
*BookRiot*
"We all knew Snoop Dogg could rap, and now we know he can cook,
too."
*The Week*
"From the moment we heard Snoop had put together his own cookbook,
we had to get our hands on a copy. Twenty-five years on from his
now iconic debut album Doggystyle, we find ourselves perusing a
collection of his favourite recipes rather than songs. From Cook to
Crook is a genuinely funny look through what the big man likes to
eat, with great photos and 50 mouthwatering dishes."

“I don’t think I’ve read a cookery book with such unfettered joy
this year.”
*Tom Tivnan, The Bookseller*
