From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen (Snoop Dogg Cookbook, Celebrity Cookbook with Soul Food Recipes) (Snoop Dog x Chronicle Books) Hardcover – October 23, 2018

I got this as a gag gift, but it is actually a very good cookbook! It is not exactly healthy eating but it is full of great things for special family get togethers and the like. The book itself is well put together, well organized, and with clear directions and is easy to read while cooking.

Bought as a white elephant gift exchange and EVERYONE wanted it. Favorite gift of the party. Ended up buying more for gifts to the family.

I bought two of these cookbooks during the holiday season for a gift exchange and myself. The recipes are great and not crazy involved, the names of the dishes are perfect, and it is a great conversation piece. Unfortunately, I did not get to keep my copy because I realized at the last second that I was one gift short for my school department's holiday party. I grabbed this cookbook and explained to the recipient that she had a different gift than the others, but that I thought hers was better anyway. haha! She started laughing hysterically when she opened it. She loved the cookbook and has said that the recipes are, in fact, very good.

What a great and fun cookbook, You go Snoop, I Love it and I will definitely try the recipes!!

Love this cookbook! The recipes look amazing, can’t wait to try them. The only issue is the front page is wrinkled but not a big deal

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Snoop Steps It Up: More Flavor, More StructureHaving flipped through both From Crook to Cook and Goon to Spoon, I can confidently say this one is the stronger of the two. While Goon to Spoon leaned heavily into humor and simplicity (sometimes at the expense of clear instructions), From Crook to Cook finds a better balance between personality and practicality.Why This One Hits Better:The recipes in From Crook to Cook feel more thought-out, with better instructions and seasoning. You get the sense that someone actually tested these in a real kitchen.There’s more variety here—comfort food staples, a few brunch gems, and even some surprising semi-gourmet twists.Snoop’s charm is still front and center, but it doesn’t overwhelm the food. It complements it.Compared to Goon to Spoon:Goon to Spoon felt more like a novelty or gag gift—fun, but not something you’d rely on to cook a full meal every night.From Crook to Cook is much more usable as a cookbook. It's still beginner-friendly, but with better structure and more consistent results.That said, it’s still not a culinary masterclass—but that’s not the point. It’s about bringing flavor, fun, and confidence into the kitchen, especially for those who aren’t usually the chef in the house. And on that front, From Crook to Cook delivers.

The OG bologna sandwich or straight up give you flashbacks to your childhood. He’s got some very good recipes in here and we love the production value of the box in the store it comes with.

Alright, alright, cool it down a notch. Five stars for From Crook to Cook – it's genuinely a great cookbook.What makes this one stand out is how approachable it is.
