If you love to cook and you love dogs, pretty soon you're cooking for dogs. At least, that's what happened to me. Over 15 years ago, a friend gave me a recipe for "dog stew." My dog loved it, of course, and I never again opened a can of food for him.
Here are a few of my favorite recipes from my new book, "The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs" (Quarry Books, November 2004). Whether your pup likes savory snacks or sweet treats, he'll find something to love. The recipes have been taste-tested by an assortment of canines, large and small, purebred and purely mutt, all of whom had paws-itive praise. Once you start cookin', your pooch will be waiting for dinner just as eagerly as Bella the bulldog on the cover is. What more could a cook ask for?
These will erase any doubts your dog has regarding the extent of your love.
