The chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant near Verona has recently released a book of gourmet recipes intended for dogs. Bruno Barbieri says that while the 51 recipes in Mangiare da Cani (Eat Like a Dog) can work as people food, they are tailored for dogs. Recipes are low on spices, salt and fat, which may not agree with dogs' digestive systems. A recent article in The Times featured a recipe for quail eggs, polenta and marinated beef on wild salad leaves. An Italian website for the book is available here. Some of you may also recall New Yorker writer Susan Orlean's Throw Me A Bone, a dog cookbook written from the perspective of her Welsh springer spaniel. Food writer Jeffrey Steingarten also wrote about cooking for his dog in It Must Have Been Something I Ate.Italian chef writes cookbook for dogs

I'm amazed and speechless. Cookbooks for dogs. What will they think of next?
I hardly have time to cook for myself, and thought that my dog was very privileged that I bake biscuits for her once in a while.
