<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Dog owners have been cautioned not to share \u201cpeople food\u201d with their tail-waggin\u2019 pets. Chef Edward Mac of La Verne begs to differ and will show pet lovers how to concoct healthy cuisine for their dogs and eat it, too, during cooking demonstrations at the Fair’s Bark Park Canine Kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI eat everything I fix for my dog,\u201d the chef said, crediting a German Shepherd mix named Sapphire with inspiring him to develop his own canine cuisine based on information from other published canine chefs and vets.<\/p>\n

Chef Mac will be cooking up a variety of foods Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 1, 4 and 6 p.m. His menu for Opening Weekend offers choices one would find at a fancy restaurant for humans:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Saturday, 1 p.m.:<\/strong> All American Favorites – Carob Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. 4 p.m.: Chicken Fried Rice. 6 p.m. Alaskan Pink Salmon & Rosemary Cake with Vanilla Yogurt Frosting.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sunday, 1 p.m.:<\/strong> Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins. 4 p.m.: Luscious Lasagna. 6 p.m. Blondie.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Monday, 1 p.m.:<\/strong> BBQ Beef Tips, 4 p.m. Red Snapper Stew, 6 p.m. Peanut Butter & Apple Smoked Bacon Cupcakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople love their dogs, and when they make food for themselves, they want to share some of it with their pets,\u201d the chef said.<\/p>\n

The graduate of Le Cordon Bleu-Pasadena has catered events for many celebrities, but also has a passion to teach cooking. Through his Canine Culinary School: Cooking Classes for People and Their Pets<\/em>, Chef Mac often teaches students who have never cooked before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may not have had enough self-confidence to cook for themselves, but once they get a pet there\u2019s added motivation to cook food with healthy ingredients for their dog,\u201d he explained. \u201cBy the time I\u2019ve taught them how to cook for their dog, they\u2019ve learned enough to prepare a three-course meal for themselves.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\ufffd
