Ingeborg Pils

Gorgeous, comprehensive and mouth-watering. My favorite cookbook find so far this year. The extent of culture and agricultural backstory included nearly equals the fabulous photographs.

Ingeborg Pils did a fantastic job when putting together her book ‘Baking For Your Dog: Tasty Treats For Your Four-Legged Friends’.

essentially no more than a glorified cookbook for the niche market of loving dog owners, it was still an enjoyable read. her introduction reminds not to cook anything with toxic properties for dogs, which a surprising number of people have no idea about even if they have owned a dog for decades. no grapes or raisins, onions or chocolate.

The book is broken into show more sections for the vegetarian owners, for dogs who prefer super treats, healthy biscuits. most of the recipes are pretty yummy sounding even for humans, which is very okay as everything in this book uses human grade food.

examples of things i would eat from this cookbook:

* Crunchy Pumpkin Crescents
* Bonnie’s Banana Cookies
* Crispy Bacon Rolls
* Mimi’s Muesli Muffins
* Apple and Carrot Dumplings

Recipes i would NOT eat:

* Polenta Cookies with Liver Sausage
* Scamps Ground Beef Cookies
* Pippa’s Tripe Cookies

i think one of the best aspects of this book is the subtle care given to every recipe. if a cookie recipe can easily cook longer, giving longer enjoyment to younger dogs and helping clean teeth, this is pointed out. followed up by simple suggestions of cooking for older dogs who may have a tough time compared to pups.

each recipe also gives an estimated time frame for how long the snacks will last, which is important to note as no preservatives are used. show less
