Snoop Dogg says his kitchen is "blazin" - and he wants to share his favourite culinary delights with other foodies in his first cookbook.

From Crook to Cook - which is out in October - will feature 50 of the rapper's all-time favourite recipes straight from his personal collection.

The Beautiful singer said: "You know it's blazin' up in my kitchen.

"I'm takin' the cookbook game higher with a dipped and whipped collection of my favourite recipes, ya dig?"

Publisher Chronicle Books said the recipes would range from Baked Mac & Cheese and Chicken And Waffles, to Easy Orange Chicken, Lobster Thermidor and Filet Mignon.


His debut collection will be "cannabis-free", but plans are in the offing for the US star to launch a series of marijuana-themed books in 2020.

The hip hop legend is not new to the world of gastronomy.

He currently presents a TV show with lifestyle guru Martha Stewart called Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party, in which the pair host a cooking competition.
