Wonderful treats for your dog, a recipe from top chef Thomas Keller, 3 stars Michelin, just because your dog deserves the best... |
PrintMa number one fanAs I was telling you in my previous post (HERE), I realized last holidays that the blog hit the 10 Million pageviews, a real surprise and quite a shock ! |
 |
And I decided to cook something special and for someone ... special ! And the winner is simply my dog Rubi, for she has been my number one fan in the kitchen since I started the blog... |
 |
Rubi is always there for me... whether I have to cook in the middle of the night to finish my pastries, or when I throw a fit after failing a recipe... And, if I cook for so many people, shouldn't I cook as well for Rubi who deserves it more than all those hungry humans ? |
 |
 | And between you and me, how can you not go nuts for this beautiful canine face ?? |

Like Keller, I use a cookie cutter to make bone-shaped cookies
Between you and me, your dog doesn't give a damn about the shape of those treats, so if you don't have the same cookie cutter, you can always cut any shape with a knife...
