FAYRE OF THE DOGG
MARION McMULLEN GOES BARKING MAD FOR RAPPER SNOOP DOGG’S FAVOURITE RECIPES
SNOOP Dogg says he hopes his new cookbook will bring families together.
The American rapper has released From Crook to Cook, which contains his favourite meals including OG (original gangster) chicken and waffles, mile-high omelette and dirty south gumbo.
Snoop Dogg – known for hits such as Gin and Juice and Drop It Like It’s Hot – decided to release a collection of recipes after appearing alongside US chef Martha Stewart for their show Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party.
The 47-year-old says: “I believe when food was brought to the world it was brought as a celebration of family and coming together and rejoicing and having fun and eating together, that’s what food was brought to this Earth for.”
He says his culinary journey started out of necessity when he had a young family and did not like what other people were cooking.
California-born Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, adds: “And learning how to do it from watching television shows and just being a student of cooking, being around my mother, my aunties and family members who would always cook.”
In his book he discusses the “high cuisine” he has enjoyed since becoming one of the most successful rappers of his era but says “I’ve got to have my fried baloney sandwiches to level everything back off ”.
Here’s three of his recipes to try at home.
