Admit it. You've cooked for your dogs. Maybe not to the extent that the chefs in our book have, but a little chicken soup here, a little beef burgundy there...we get it. Well guess what? It's safe to come out from behind the apron and share your recipes with us. After all, 30 great chefs did. You tell us about your culinary canine, and we'll tell you about ours and the ones we meet along the way. Oh, and don't forget to buy the book.
