From Crook to Cook by Snoop Dogg

I love Snoop's old music.
I love to cook.
I love Martha and Snoop's cooking show.
So of course I bought myself this.

What's really awesome about Snoop is that he's, for lack of a better word, NORMAL.  I know that wasn't always the case, but really he's a devoted Dad and doting Grandpa.  Although he and his wife had issues in the past, they're still together.  Their kitchen has HEINZ KETCHUP and AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP in the pantry! I mean, really?  Billions of dollars, and they still cook for themselves and their grandson using what us everyday people can buy at Walmart.

What was supposed to be a novelty in Martha and Snoop's Pajama Party (a reference to both of their pasts as inmates) became an absolute hit. 

I had no expectations about this cookbook.  I knew there were stories interwoven from Snoop's past and present, but I did not think there'd be soooo many amazing recipes.  And some of these are very intricate.  Jilly Mae is absolutely going to try some soon!  That Jamaican Jerk Yardie Yardbird might be first!

The photography is gorgeous, and the random tidbits thrown in are a good laugh (best cereal at midnight?, best candy for the munchies?).

Definitely recommend!
