If there is something to be said about Snoop Dogg as he continues to gracefully age, it is that he is self-reflecting and returning to the things many feel most at home with: He’s gone back to church with a gospel album<\/a>, he’s returned to the LBC stage<\/a> after a lengthy and politically-influenced hiatus, he’s gone to the kitchen for a television show (and scored an Emmy nomination) with Martha Stewart, and he’s even got a stage play coming out<\/a> depicting his roller coaster of a life.<\/p>\n

So it would make sense that this return home includes a cookbook that talks about the massive, sweet Joint of Life that is Snoop’s kitchen, as\u00a0From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>comes out on October 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know it\u2019s blazin\u2019 up in my kitchen,” Snoop said. “I\u2019m takin\u2019 the cookbook game higher with a dipped ‘n’ whipped collection of my favorite recipes, ya dig?\u201d<\/p>\n

While consistent nods toward Snoop’s proclivity toward the almighty pot are noted throughout\u2014publisher Chronicle Books said the book is filled with \u201csnacks to satisfy those munchies\u201d\u2014the cookbook will have recipes that are entirely cannabis-free. (Though readers are happily encouraged to take advantage of product from Long Beach’s newly minted recreational pot stores<\/a>\u00a0while they cook.)<\/p>\n

In the 50-plus, self-described “OG recipes” that are from his own kitchen, Snoop will be taking aspiring chefs from both the streets and ivory towers on culinary trips across a span of unapologetically Black grub mixed with classic fine dining fare: mac ‘n’ cheese, lobster thermidor, chicken and waffles, filet mignon, soft flour tacos\u2014an ode if there ever was one to the almighty Compton Taco, perhaps made most famous and delicious by Keith Garrett of All Flavor, No Grease<\/a>\u2014and more. It all depends on your mood and occasion.<\/p>\n

Oh, of course, let us not lament: Snoop obviously included a\u00a0gin and juice<\/a>\u00a0recipe.<\/p>\n

And for those saddened at the lack of weed in this read, fear not:\u00a0Chronicle is partnering with Snoop and his company Merry Jane\u2014the same company that released the 420 meals for Jack in the Box in Long Beach<\/a>\u2014on a line of cannabis-centric books that will be released in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
