From Crook to Cook by Snoop Dogg

$14.16 on Amazon

It turns out Snoop Dogg genuinely knows his way around a stove, and this collection of 50 recipes proves it. You get down-home staples like baked mac and cheese right alongside upscale filet mignon and studio anecdotes. The catch is that it leans heavy on butter and carbs, but for anyone wanting real-deal soul food and music lore, it is surprisingly legit.
