Lightly toast for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer to a cutting board and spread the mustard on one slice of bread. Return the skillet to the heat and add the bologna in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Flip the bologna and top each slice with the American cheese. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the cheese starts to melt.

I gave “From Crook to Cook” a serious read, and I loved what I saw. I think you will too! Give this cookbook your undivided attention. You will be glad you did. From the moment we heard Snoop had put together his own cookbook, we had to get our hands on a copy. Twenty-five years on from his now iconic debut album Doggystyle, we find ourselves perusing a collection of his favourite recipes rather than songs. From Cook to Crook is a genuinely funny look through what the big man likes to eat, with great photos and 50 mouthwatering dishes." -- The Malestrom When looking for a great cookbook, first consider the kinds of food you’d like to try. Are you interested in going out of your comfort zone and making a dish from a different country, or do you want to stay within the kinds of meals you are familiar with? Are you going on a new diet where you omit certain foods like gluten or meat from your meals, or are you looking to expand your palate and add in new ingredients you’re not familiar with?

For many people, cooking at home is a relaxing activity. It helps calm your nerves after a stressful day and creates excitement for the delicious meal you’re about to eat. For others, cooking is a group activity you do with your loved ones, working closely together in the kitchen to make culinary magic. Whether you’re a novice home cook or a master of the trade, using a cookbook to help guide you is a great way to try out new flavors, techniques and styles of cooking. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking, until the brownies are set and the edges looked baked. Publisher Chronicle Books says the recipes “run the gamut from classy, to stoner-friendly, to Snoop Dogg-themed” (read: a drink recipe for a classic gin and juice). In a statement when the book was first released, Snoop added that “You know it’s blazin’ up in my kitchen. I’m takin’ the cookbook game higher with a dipped and whipped collection of my favorite recipes, ya dig?”

Consider what kind of recipes you want to make. For example, are you interested in eating less meat and trying a plant-based diet? If so, grab a vegetarian cookbook. On the other hand, if you want more comfort food recipes, opt for one that gives you those options. If you’re looking to live a healthier lifestyle, then go with a cookbook that offers low-calorie but delicious meals. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1½ cups [270 g] of the chocolate morsels. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. So, like I said, this one starts with a roux (that’s one cup oil to one cup flour, whisked together on medium heat and then stirred every few minutes to prevent burning for 20-30 minutes for those who don’t know) and then a minced version of the “holy trinity” (but with red bell peppers rather than the standard green this go ‘round) added to complete the base . . . . I have never listened too much Snoop Dogg over the years. I remember one of his first videos when he first came on the scene, but it wasn’t anything I would normally listen to, so I thought “nice enough” but wasn’t really buying his albums. I could not deny he was a good rapper and had infectious rhymes. I listened to more rap after I married my wife who listens to a lot of it and is more in touch with the popular music of our time (my tastes are odd and eclectic.) The recipes in the book are definitely delicious and easy to make. These are some of the recipes you can find on From Crook to Cook;None of the recipes required special skills or cooking techniques, and all of them could be perfected without much practice. Which is more that I can say than a lot of other recipes out there these days. Also, I'm all for cookbooks that help people make tasty, homemade versions of their favorite restaurant comfort foods so this gets my stamp of approval!" -- Michelle No, Buzzfeed Serve with white rice, garnish with scallions and add a couple of Snoop's cornbread muffins on the side . . . . Place the fried bologna and cheese on the toasted bread slice without mustard and top with as many chips as you and your sandwich can handle. A favourite munchie was discovered when I had the bright idea of throwing that bologna in a frying pan," he writes. "But now that we moved on up, like The Jeffersons, that bologna turned into the finest aged meats. We ain’t eating this just cuz we have to. These days we eat it because what would go better with that thang we love to do so much. Maybe I’ll start making it with some “smoked” Gouda now."
