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 . . . . 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. In the book, Snoop calls this his "greatest recipe", noting that the key is to make sure they're nicely baked.

Serve with white rice, garnish with scallions and add a couple of Snoop's cornbread muffins on the side . . . .

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT–Thanksgiving is one of the most important cooking days of the year. It’s real important that you have a great chef in the kitchen on T-Day. I’m talking about your momma, your auntie…someone who knows just how much cheese to put in that macaroni, or who makes the perfect gravy to cover your whole plate. I just so happen to have learned all the greatest Broadus family recipes from my grandmas, cousins, you name it. Some of these recipes weren’t easy to come by–you know the family ain’t trying to give up their secrets! Well, I struggled to get ’em so you don’t have to. Your turkey will never be dry and your sides will never be flavorless if you follow Tha Dogg’s lead! Since the beginning of his career in the early ’90s, when he arrived on the West Coast music scene as a smooth-talking gangsta-rap standout, Snoop Dogg has been more than open about how much he loves smoking weed. If the reception is anything to go by, Snoop’s first installment of a cookbook is a taste in the right direction. On some of the largest communities of book lovers like Goodreads, the book has recorded mostly 5 stars with 95% of Google users giving it a thumbs up.

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."The whole thing starts off with a bite-sized opener from his TV co-host Martha Stewart, an introduction from Snoop and a visually delightful tour of Snoop’s cabinet and fridge, photographs absolutely included. From there, the book breaks down into chapters on breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drinks (again, booze but not pot? C’mon!) and parties. We had to try Snoop’s ‘Spaghetti de la Hood’ because the picture in the book was so enticing, and we're hardcore spaghetti fanatics--eating it at least 3-4 times per month. This is a nice basic spaghetti with meatballs recipe, but there were a few things I personally didn’t like about it. I’m used to baking my meatballs rather than frying. The meat mixture almost seemed dry, but they turned out really good. The sauce didn’t have loads of flavor. Our family is used to having some Italian spices in the sauce like oregano and marjoram, plus some added spice from cayenne pepper. This recipe only called for a bay leaf, but it was still really good. Everyone really enjoyed it and I think this is one my son will want to make again in the future. It really isn’t hard to modify the recipe and add in the spices you want for your perfect sauce. 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.
