Lick Your Plate Pet Cookbook

Recently, I collaborated in writing a Pet Cookbook called Lick Your Plate with George Perrier, Dan Barber, and myself. The cookbook will be written by Kit Feldman from the University of Pennsylvania and the photography will be shot by Sabina Pierce. The premise of the cookbook is to design interesting, innovative, tasty, and healthy ways to cook for our own dogs and give the recipes we actually make. Arthur, a.k.a Bo Bo and Saddie my Weimaraner’s are the shit. With my busy schedule, I cook for them in the beginning of the week and package and freeze the rest of the food so it’s always fresh and ready to eat. Their two favorite recipes include Turkey brown rice stew with seasonal vegetables as well as smoked quinoa biscuits, which will be featured in the cookbook. George and Dan both highlight their favorite recipes for their dogs. George makes great recipes for his Bishon Frise while Dan has creative meals for his hungry Black Lab.

After the pet recall in which they found aminopterin, a toxin used as rat poison in some countries and melamine, a chemical used to make plastics in the recalled food, I wanted to make sure my dogs were safe. I try to feed Arthur and Saddie the best food without the bullshit of wondering if their eating contaminated food such as wheat gluten. I know others are just as concerned so the cookbook should be a hit. The recipes are for dogs only and include some vegetarian options as well.

The proceeds for the cookbook benefit animal charities and there are some cool shots of me with Arthur and Saddie. The cookbook should be released shortly, I definitely recommend checking it out.
