Book description
Cook delicious dishes with cannabis like never before and take each meal to new heights with recipes that are sure to delight stoners and newcomers alike. Recreational cannabis use is now legalized in nearly half of the United States (and medicinal use is legalized in most states), but for so many people, edibles are the preferred method. For some, smoking is too harsh on their lungs while others find it more fun to eat their weed. Plus, the high you get from consuming cannabis in food can be stronger and more sustained versus the immediate and sometimes overwhelming rush you might get from smoking it. While most dispensaries sell gummies and possibly infused chocolates, there's so much more you can do with weed at home, and that's what How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time is here to prove. Author and host of VICE's Bong Appetit, Vanessa Lavorato is teaching you how to create sweet and savory cannabis dishes right in your home kitchen. After crafting 200 certified lab tests in her research--to help ensure that the infusions for staples like cannabis butter, oil, sugar, and more are as accurate as possible--Vanessa walks you through every step of the process with informative tables and charts, making this book incredibly useful and wildly popular. With dazzling photography throughout, the book includes delicious recipes like taquitos, wontons, meatballs, granola, muffins, cookies, blondies, brownies, cupcakes, and more. There are also recipes for dips, dressings, and sauces from salsa to pesto to marinara--many of which can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer for when you want to take a dish to new heights. And for when you want to drink your weed, there are recipes for milkshakes, chai, iced tea, and even a Bloody Mary. This book is packed with tips and advice throughout on topics like how weed gets people high, using everything from your stove to your microwave for decarboxylation (heat activates cannabis), cooking with concentrates, and shopping for weed. This is the most authoritative book ever published on the subject of cannabis consumption.
About the Author
Born in California and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, television host, chocolatier, and food writer Vanessa Lavorato graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in art history and Italian. But the biggest lesson she took from school was that her calling sat at the crossroads of entrepreneurship, food, and cannabis. In 2010, she founded Marigold Sweets, creating a market for edibles that prioritizes flavor and sourcing while maintaining artisanal quality. Lavorato built her business on the strength of her premium product, despite the added challenge of navigating the ever-changing laws governing cannabis edibles. Starting in 2016, Lavorato cohosted and culinarily-produced three seasons of VICE's James Beard Award-nominated cannabis cooking show Bong Appétit. These days, her stoner-at-a-stove cooking show, The Edibles Club, brings together members from around the world to learn to make dishes like Hash Tortellini and Weed Hollandaze. She lives in Los Angeles.
