  Books Are The New Black
  
  I came across this book when I was perusing Netgalley. I have previously read through his first cookbook From Crook to Cook and enjoyed it. I have tried a few recipes, especially the bacon one! I was surprised at how easy so many of them were. When I saw that there was a follow-up, I requested it right away!
  
  I will preface this by saying that I have not made any of the recipes yet. But I will be. There are so many recipes that sound odd but look delicious! Did I ever think I would be craving hot cheeto mac and cheese balls? Nope, but here I am. Some of the things I enjoy about his cookbooks are the photos for each recipe, the fun names and descriptions, and the ease of many of them. There are several things that I want to give a try! I have never heard of cornbread rice but the photo caught my attention. When I read his description, "What is cornbread rice? Try it and find out." I immediately thought "challenge accepted!"
  
  Overall, I think this is a fun and interesting cookbook. Many recipes are similar to things you would find in other books. At the same time, there's a good variety of things I never heard of before. If you want something a little different and fun then I would give this a go!
  
  Many thanks to Chronicle Books and Netgalley for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

  Snoop & E-40 cook up more than just beats in "Goon with the Spoon": a smokin' hot cookbook with personality. This ain't your mama's recipe book – it's a West Coast feast seasoned with Snoop's laid-back charm and E-40's infectious energy. From classics with a twist (Snoop's G-Funk Mac, anyone?) to danker delights (Chronic Tacos, anyone?), the recipes are diverse, delicious, and surprisingly easy to follow. But it's the hilarious stories, Snoop's sage advice, and E-40's slang glossary that make this book a laugh-out-loud good time. Whether you're a hip-hop head or just a hungry soul, "Goon with the Spoon" is a surefire recipe for good eats and good vibes. Just keep it G and keep it smokin'. 4/5 chronic stars.

  The pairing of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart has now extended to E-40. A wonderful recipe book with beautiful photos and easy to follow recipes. Some of the recipes contain alcohol, but you can forgo that if you do not partake. Some of the recipes seem quirky, Cheeto macaroni and cheese, however the social media community states that it is delicious. Have fun and share your stories.

  I was so excited to see another cookbook by Snoop Dogg and just had to have it. This cookbook is so easy to navigate as it's divided into the following categories: breakfast, munchies, drinks, mains, sides, and sweets. Snoop sure knows what he's doing! The recipes I tried were very tasty. So far I've made Fried Chicken and French Toast Sandwiches, Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Cajun-Spiced Potato Chips. I will absolutely make these again and look forward to trying more of Snoop's recipes!
  I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and Edelweiss+. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

  Not much my stomach can handle but the presentation is rad and the descriptions made me giggle a lot. I for sure recognized a couple recipes my Gma used to make, with a special spicy or alcoholic twist that would have been appreciated in my youth.

  I was impressed. The great lingo used to tell the stories was hysterical. I could "hear" his voice when I read them. The recipes were practical. I even copied a recipe!

  Nothing new or unique in this collection of recipes. If you’re a huge Snoop fan, you might like this. Otherwise, pass as it feels like this was published as a money grab.

  Love the pictures and the writing was great. So many creative dishes. Also appreciate their pride in representing the state of California.

  Has several recipes I would attempt.

  Lots of recipes that non-chefs could accomplish and the introduction is perfection - basically non-existent.

  Reading Adventures

  Let me tell you how excited we were to receive this cookbook as an ebook ARC. We are longtime fans of Snoop Dogg and enjoyed his first cookbook. In this little adventure of a book he has new recipes to share along with his friend rapper E-40. Using their music as inspiration they share some of their favorite meals, with more than 65 recipes for food and drinks and everything from breakfast to dessert. We can’t wait to try all the recipes but we have found some favorites already, including: Snicker Pocket Pastries, Cornbread Rice, Ridin’ Dirty Shrimp ‘n’ Grits and Corned Beef with All the Hash. With fun introductions to each recipe they are detailed and so easy to follow. Even novices like us can make these entertaining treats. Your family will love trying these recipes together. I can’t wait to add this book to our cookbook library at home. Makes a fun gift for all the music and food lovers in your life. Enjoy.

  Goon with the spoon is E-40's food business. Snoop of course had a cook book, so they collatborated. That's free game if you caught it. Try the bourbon whipped cream. Game changer... and I'm lactose intolerant.

  Okay first of all I went into this with high expectations and was not disappointed at all. Like the other Snoop cookbook I own I absolutely loved this one and plan to buy it when it is released in a few weeks.
  
  The pros.
  
  The pictures are fun, the coloring is amazing, everything looks neat and eye catching and just all around everything is just so attractive.
  
  The titles of the dishes are straight forward but cute. The little intro to each is fun to read. I didn't find myself skipping any of them.
  
  The food choices obviously won't be everyone's cup of tea everytime but they are all broad enough to appeal to a wide range of people while being special enough to make them stand out.
  
  The recipes are easy to follow and detailed.
  
  All together a fantastic book. Pre-ordered it for myself literally 3 recipes in.

  I was thrilled to receive this ARC on my bookshelf! I've been waiting for another Snoop cookbook to publish, since reading From Crook to Cook. Snoop is a Quintessential Renaissance man, what this man not do? I first learned about Snoop's passion for food and cooking during the pandemic, when I stumbled across reruns of Snoop and Martha's Potluck Dinner Party on VHI. I was completely obsessed.
  
  This latest book is another glorious gem! Snoop and E-40 are a pair of wonderfully animated storytellers who adore cooking and gathering with friends. The photography is exceptional (as it always is with Chronicle Books), the recipes are accessible and the accompanying anecdotes from Snoop and E-40 are written in a clever, conversational and authentically comedic style.

  I am a fanatic of any all cookbooks. This one will fit right in my collection.

  A few of my favorites are these.
  Bacon Cheeseburger Lumpia
  Air-Fryer Panko Cod with Lemon
  Monte Cristo Sandwich

  Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread
  The photos are fantastic and truly make your mouth water looking at them. The recipe are easy to follow.

  Maaannn, I’ll tell you what! I’ll admit it I only got the book because of who wrote it. I wrote it off as a celebrity cookbook. And I was COMPLETELY WRONG!!! This is simply one of the BEST cookbooks I’ve reviewed (and I review a lot) in a long, long time!!!

  I have always enjoyed and loved anything with Snoop Dogg's cooking and this book is no exception. The photography of the food in the book was simply mouthwatering. I look forward to trying out a few of the recipes myself and I had no idea E-40 was that deeply invested in food and recipes in such a way. It was a pleasant surprise. This book is a perfect addiction to any home chef.
