I just bought this book. THE WHOLE PET DIET by Andi Brown. Now im confused about what to feed my dogs?

The first ingredeniont in the recipies is always meat then spinach, celery, carrots, squash, portabella mushrooms, rosemary, tofu, even garlic? I thought garlic was poision to dogs and cats. So is this a good book or a bad idea? Please help! Thanks.
