Since the beginning of his career in the early \u201990s, when he arrived on the West Coast music scene as a smooth-talking gangsta-rap standout, Snoop Dogg has been more than open about how much he loves smoking weed.<\/p>\n
From that \u201cbubonic chronic\u201d he bragged about on \u2018Gin and Juice\u2019 to his numerous\u00a0successful forays<\/a>\u00a0into today\u2019s legal cannabis industry, almost 25 years later, the D-O-double-G and marijuana are practically synonymous. That\u2019s why we were initially a little disappointed when we found out Snoop\u2019s\u00a0first cookbook<\/a>, \u201cFrom Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg\u2019s Kitchen,\u201d wouldn\u2019t include any recipes that incorporate cannabis.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not as if cookbooks that combine marijuana and cooking are remotely taboo anymore \u2014 see \u201cBong Appetit<\/a>\u201d and \u201cEdibles: Small Bites for the Modern Cannabis Kitchen<\/a>\u201d for two examples from late 2018 alone. And it seems unusual that one of the titular stars of \u201cMac & Devin Go to High School\u201d would shy away from a chance to include pot in\u2026 anything. But, for whatever reason, \u201cFrom Cook to Crook\u201d declines to teach its readers how to dose their home-cooked munchies.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say the plant is entirely absent in \u201cFrom Crook to Cook,\u201d either. The text is full of cheeky, wink-wink references to smoking pot. Snoop talks about \u201cOG munchies\u201d in three different sections interspersed throughout the book, where he ranks his favorite cereal, chips and candy. He tells readers to \u201cgo get baked!\u201d in the introduction for a brownie sundae recipe. And one of the recipes, dubbed \u201cThe Lunch Briz-eak,\u201d is literally just a plate of fruit with honey and peanut butter on it that you\u2019re supposed to eat while you get high at work \u2014 though, for the record, it sounds tasty.<\/p>\n All we\u2019re saying is, it\u2019s kind of a weird branding choice to not even have a\u00a0cannabutter recipe<\/a>\u00a0in the Snoop Dogg cookbook.<\/p>\n But enough about what \u201cFrom Crook to Cook\u201ddoesn\u2019t have, because at the end of the day, this cookbook is tons of fun, provided you\u2019re a fan of Mr. Doggy Dogg and comprehensive recipes for some truly decadent home-cooked meals. It is undeniably engaging to read. Its pages are colorful, Snoop cracks jokes throughout the copy and there are beautiful photographs of many of the dishes described therein \u2014 plus, a great shot of Snoop smirking while he holds a lobster.<\/p>\n The whole thing starts off with a bite-sized opener from his TV\u00a0co-host Martha Stewart<\/a>, an introduction from Snoop and a visually delightful tour of Snoop\u2019s cabinet and fridge, photographs absolutely included. From there, the book breaks down into chapters on breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drinks (again, booze but not pot? C\u2019mon!) and parties.<\/p>\n In total, this book boasts dozens of different recipes. You could conceivably cook\u00a0Thanksgiving dinner<\/a>\u00a0using \u201cFrom Crook to Cook\u201d alone, which is genuinely impressive. And there are lots of extras tucked away among the recipes, too. The last chapter, for instance, includes playlists to listen to while cooking. Snoop\u2019s \u201cGame Day Playlist\u201d includes \u201cEye of the Tiger\u201d\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0\u201cBlack & Yellow,\u201d which we simply cannot argue with.<\/p>\n Sure, these recipes are not for those among us looking to count calories or exclude goodies like meat, dairy or gluten from our dietary intake. Biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, fried bologna sandwiches, chicken and waffles, lobster thermidor, chocolate chip cookies and s\u2019mores pie all make appearances in Snoop\u2019s cooking repertoire, for good reason \u2014 they\u2019re all delicious. This is a cookbook for people who have tried putting chocolate on pizza at least once, just in case it\u2019s\u00a0actually<\/em>\u00a0really good. Even though this food doesn\u2019t get you high, \u201cFrom Crook to Cook\u201d is tailor-made for indulging your cravings once you\u2019ve done the hard work of getting yourself high without edible assistance.<\/p>\n In the spirit of accuracy, we tried one of Snoop\u2019s dinner recipes, and overall, we approve. The Last Meal Shrimp Alfredo, apparently inspired by Snoop\u2019s love of the Godfather (gangsta sh*t is another big motif in this cookbook), was intense and required a fair amount of prep and cleanup. But the recipe was easy to follow, the alfredo sauce was thick and creamy and it tasted even better a few hours later, eaten in bed while watching the newest season of the \u201cGreat British Baking Show,\u201d if you catch our drift.<\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>, what\u2019s your favorite cannabis cookbook?<\/p>\n Originally published in Issue 35 of Cannabis Now.
