Snoop Dogg (born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) is an American rapper, songwriter, media personality, actor, and entrepreneur who emerged from the West Coast hip hop scene in the early 1990s.

Beyond his musical career, Snoop has become a cultural icon known for his distinctive persona and entrepreneurial ventures. His entrance into the culinary world might surprise some, but it reflects his diverse interests and ability to connect with fans across multiple platforms.

Snoop has previously collaborated with lifestyle maven Martha Stewart on the VH1 cooking show "Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party," which showcased their unlikely friendship and shared love of food. This cookbook is a natural extension of Snoop's growing presence in food culture.

I bought this to be a gag gift for my mother, after she signed us up for a cookbook exchange and I got her name. The intent was to get something that would make her laugh, but also have nutritional, useful, and unique recipes. I expected something silly to come in the mail, but this book is "legit" as Snoop himself would say.

My mom owns an in-home bakery, and I am the only one who cooks in a household of four college students, therefore a book that could handle being passed around the kitchen, and flipped through regularly without the cover or pages deteriorating or damaging easily. As a very traditional Midwestern family we also enjoy recipes that carry tradition or sentiment. Crook to Cook has all of these.

Each recipe comes with a story of its significance to the rapper's life, as well as an in depth breakdown of basic ingredients needed for each section, so you can be sure you have enough of everything in stock.

The book is very visually pleasing. Every recipe came with a visual to follow, as did the fun "what's in my pantry" section, that came with each chapter. This was extremely fun to look at, and inviting. The recipes all have proven unique, but not challenging, as other reviews promised.
