The Culinary CanineA while back I ordered a copy of The Culinary Canine and shared a couple of the recipes with you.
Guess what?!?! I was lucky enough to get an interview with Kit Feldman, the writer of The Culinary Canine and Sabina Pierce, the photographer.
I’m so excited that I’m giving away a copy of the book in celebration!|
It won’t be my sticky, covered in flour gently used copy, I make sure you get a new on. If you can’t wait you can grab your own copy here.

Milee's Mexican Treats from The Culinary Cainine by Kathryn Feldman Dog Treat/Bisuit Recipe
This recipe is another adapted from The Culinary Canine.

Ingredients
2 ounces Chorizo*
2 1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup Apple Sauce (sugar-free)
1/2 cup grated Cheese
1 Egg

Directions
1. Chop the chorizo and fry until cooked, about four minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to blot the excess fat. Allow to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3. Once chorizo has cooled mix all ingredients one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
4. Knead dough into ball and roll onto a floured surface 1/4 inch thick and cut with the straight edge and score the dough horizontally and then vertically to make a grid (I used a pizza cutter). Be careful to score the dough, not completely cut through.
4. Place on your prepared cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Refrigerate.
Makes 3 to 4 dozen Biscuits.

Milee's Mexican Treats from The Culinary Cainine by Kathryn Feldman Dog Treat/Bisuit Recipe

*The original recipe called  for hard chorizo but I was unable to find any with out garlic so I settle for the sausage. It still had a lot of spices but since the recipe called for such a small amount I’m not concerned about it. If you don’t feel comfortable with it feel free to substitute 2 ounces of any cooked, ground meat.

When you had the idea for the cookbook what made you think of Kit Feldman to work with you?
I met Kit to discuss the race horse barbaro whom I had photographed intensively and when she spoke about her dogs, her love was obvious so I knew she would be authentic for a project like this

Which of the photographs was the most challenging to take?
All of them, dogs are harder than kids.. Dogs do what they please and don’t take much direction when it comes to posing for a camera

How did you decide where to take the photographs?
I wanted to make them all different so they did not blend into each other so I mixed them up and took suggestions from the chefs by what they enjoyed to do with their dogs

How may photographs did you take of each chef?
At least a hundred. Dogs don’t pose

Did you have to deal with any high-maintenance ‘diva’ dogs?
Yes, Diane Hendriks dog Lily didn’t want her photo taken and shied from the camera until I had a talk with her and told her, her big sister was going to get all limelight unless she came on board.. Ten minutes later she climbed up into a camera and gave me the best pose ever, like a true diva!

When do you know you have the photograph that you used in the book? How did you know it was ‘the one’?
You just feel it.. I have been photographing for ten years and it becomes a sixth sense

What tips do you have for people trying to photograph their dogs?
Patience, and make your dog comfortable with the camera

What did your dog eat today?
green beans, tofu, baby carrots, and a hard boiled egg topped with a bit of dry high end kibble.. I have a puppy so its important she gets kibble too
