I was surprised how well made this book is. High quality. Super fun with good recipes

Got this for my dad and his girlfriend, they absolutely loved it! I was then gifted my own and it’s great. Yummy recipes and I just love snoop dogg lol

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. The book offers a lot of variety in meal type as well. The dinner section is especially diverse, with everything from mac and cheese, to lobster tail. Browsing the table of contents, I was concerned that very few of the recipes were as simple as their promotion stated, but each has proven to be the same level of difficulty with varying levels of prep time necessary. Physically, the book itself was well constructed. Though technically ‘paperback’ the cover is actually a thick vinyl, and the pages a lightweight cardstock. This made the book seem more durable, and less susceptible to damage from food residue to humidity from cooking. The cover seems as though it could easily be wiped down if a spill were to occur. The binding was thick but not stiff, and weighted just enough that I could leave the book open on my counter and it would hold the page I had turned to. Before passing the gift on to my mother, my roommates and I all looked through it, and the binding showed no signs of creasing. Overall I would say this book exceeded expectations and was well worth the purchase.

I was really excited to get From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dog because I’ve heard great things about it, and the recipes themselves did not disappoint. The book has a lot of personality, and you can tell it’s more than just a cookbook—it feels like part of Snoop Dogg’s story and style, which makes it fun to read and cook from. That said, I was disappointed to see writing inside the book. I ordered it listed in great condition and wasn’t expecting it to be brand new, but I also didn’t expect to find notes already written in it. It didn’t affect my ability to use the recipes, but it was still a letdown since I prefer clean copies. Overall, it’s a solid cookbook with great recipes and vibe, just be aware of the condition if you’re ordering it used.

This cookbook is legit cool! It’s filled with colorful pages and delicious looking dishes that put a new spin on making cooking fun! And with a cover price of $25, I saved over $10 by purchasing on Amazon! If you are a Snoop D-O-double-G fan, this is a must buy!

I picked up this book as a white elephant gift for Christmas, and my brother‑in‑law ended up with it. He got a good laugh going through the pages and said several of the recipes actually look worth trying. It’s the kind of gift that lands well because it’s both funny and genuinely usable. If you’re looking for something lighthearted that still has practical value, this was a hit in our exchange.

We have Snoop displayed in our kitchen. Once my friends saw the cookbook, they wanted one. You can see I have made several more purchases....you are now sold out!

Really love it

Snoop Dogg’s cookbook is an absolute gem! It’s got a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it so enjoyable to flip through, and the recipes are genuinely good. They’re easy to follow and deliver some seriously tasty results. The mix of comfort food and unique dishes means there’s something for everyone. Plus, the photography and little personal touches from Snoop make it even more entertaining. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or hosting friends, this cookbook is a hit. Highly recommend!
