From the esteemed food editor and author Judith Jones, a charming, practical guide to sharing the pleasures of home cooking with your dog.
Doesnt mans best friend deserve a little more than cardboard-dry kibble day in and day out? Judith Jones thinks so, and in this delightful new cookbook she offers up more than fifty home-cooked recipes, both time efficient and finance friendlyamong them Salmon Cakes, Wild Mushroom Risotto, and Shepherds Piethat shes loved and shared with her own canines.
Jones explains the nutritional benefits of substituting, or supplementing, store-bought food with a diet of fresh, home-prepared ingredients. She offers helpful extras like advice on portion size, what to do with scraps, and the latest research on controversial ingredients such as garlic (newly vindicated), ginger (use sparingly), and eggplant (an acquired taste, but scrape out the seeds). Though many of the recipes are simple to prepare, using basic techniques and ingredients home cooks are likely to have on hand, Jones never compromises flavor or variety; when a full recipeher mouth-watering Moussaka, for instanceis too complex for a dogs palate or digestive health, Jones gives detailed instructions on how to modify your pets share.
Jones balances her recipes, tips, and techniques with endearing accounts of life with her own dogs, including her very first, a Scottish terrier; a poodle who charmed a French chef into serving up a haute-cuisine feast gratis; and her current Havanese pup, Mabon, who occasionally contributes his own two cents within these pages. She also includes the thoughts of some of her canine- and food-loving friends, Jacques Ppin and M. F. K. Fisher among them. With Love Me, Feed Me to guide you, planning what to put in your dogs bowl becomes a natural part of deciding what to put on your own table, and your dog will savor mealtimes all the more because of it.
Filled with the practical wisdom and verve of a master home cook and lifetime dog lover, Love Me, Feed Me can only lead to a happier, healthier dog.

For Mabon,
and for all the other dogs I have known
Contents
W hen my Havanese puppy Mabon first came to live with me he was a tiny ball - photo 4
Picture 5 W hen my Havanese puppy, Mabon, first came to live with me, he was a tiny ball of white fluff, and the ribs enclosing his skinny body were visible. He had only recently been weaned, and his breeders in northern Vermont gave me precise instructions about feeding him half a cup of puppy kibble twice a day. The trouble was that his baby teeth made mere pinpricks on the desiccated pellets, and he would give up trying to chew and swallow them. Clearly he was not getting enough to eat, or perhaps what he was getting wasnt worth his effort.
When we visited the local vet in nearby Danville for final shots, I tentatively asked her what she would think of my cooking for Mabon.formula: one-third meat, poultry, fish, eggs; one-third fresh vegetables that are good for dogs; one-third starches (rice, pastas, grains, dried beans).
I went home elated. I quickly got out a little frying pan and cooked up some small chunks of the grass-fed beef that my cousin and I are raising on Stannard Mountain in northern Vermont. I added a couple of lightly cooked young carrots from the garden and some leftover rice I had in the fridge. Watching the way Mabons nose quivered in anticipation, and how he gobbled up his first good meal, convinced me that this was the way to go, and for more than four years now Mabon has enjoyed a home-cooked supper almost every day.
I think my own love of cooking was born when I was about nine years old and I had my first dog, a Scottie I called Sally MacGregor. I had been longing for a dog, but my parents made me wait until I was old enough to walk her alone on the New York City streets in winter and to feed her. In those days, supermarkets werent overflowing with canned and dried pet foods, let alone treats, so feeding an animal meant cooking. But it never seemed like a chore to me. I loved standing at the stove listening to the sizzling sound a few pieces of meat made as I fried them, and enjoying the good smell that rose up from the pan. I liked sharing some of what we were eating with a creature I treasured. It was my way of caring for her.
Now that I am ninety, living alone, I find that part of the fun is in planning a good meal that will please me and that also offers something fresh and nourishing and tasty for Mabon. Just to give an idea of how Mabon and I share our meals, and how I make his food a part of the rhythm of my daily cooking: I might be browsing in the supermarket and come across some ground lamb in a vacuum-sealed package. There is too much meat here for me to consume alone. But Im temptedground lamb is an item not often found in meat countersso I grab it, sensing that Mabon will like a few lamb burgers as a change from his more usual beef burgers. Also, I have a yen for something with a Middle Eastern flavor, so I will make a few meatballs in a yogurt sauce one night, and maybe a more ambitious disha small-sized moussaka that is particularly deliciousanother night.

It was experiences like this that led me to keep a log of my cooking for Mabon - photo 7
It was experiences like this that led me to keep a log of my cooking for Mabon and me and share the recipes with other pet owners. The more I talked to friends with dogs, the more I sensed that they, too, felt that something was missing in the way they fed their canine friends. But they were apt to be discouraged by their vets, and by what they read in various dog journals about cooking for their pets. Not so Jeffrey Steingarten, who once devoted the monthly feature he writes for Vogue magazine to the subject of feeding his newly acquired golden retriever, Sky King. Jeffrey was sizzling up some tasty lamb sausages for himself one night while Sky King looked on hopefully. But all that that poor, hungry dog was given for supper was a bowlful of dry pellets. Finally, he nudged Jeffrey and asked: Who is the carnivore around here anyway? From that moment on, Jeffrey cooked for him almost every day. Not just scraps, but beautifully braised short ribs and other carefully prepared delights.
The recipes and suggestions that I have gathered here represent the kinds of dishes that Mabon and I have shared in the years that we have been together. He is clearly a healthy dog with an insatiable appetite. The first thing I ever saw him reject was a piece of overripe banana, which he sniffed at disdainfully and dropped on the floor when I offered it to him. Since then he has joined the ranks of kale haters, and hes not too fond of the broccoli family. The way he eats tells me a lot about his preferences. He always goes for the meat or aromatic fish first, nosing away the veggies and the starch the way a child would.
As to seasoning, I am generally careful, when cooking for the two of us, to hold back on the salt, pepper, and sugar, as well as some items that are considered suspect by dieticians who have made studies of dog nutrition. Ill remove Mabons portion of dinner when it is ready, and then Ill jazz up mine and finish cooking it. You might well ask whether the flavor of what I am making for myself is compromised. I havent found it so. Just be careful to taste critically and adjust and taste again, and Im sure you can satisfy your own palate and at the same time offer your furry friend a purer version that would pass muster with knowledgeable nutritionists.
Clearly I am not an expert. I am guided by common sense and Mabons responses. I do try to keep up with the latest findings in publications like The Whole Dog Journal and DogWatch. But I dont want to become obsessive about measuring the nutritional aspect of every bite. I am simply the fond mistress who enjoys cooking for herself and her canine companion, and I hope to persuade you to join the pack. Check with your vet if you have doubts about something you are introducing to your dogs diet and whether a vitamin supplement is recommended.
