Bong appetit! New guide to the best cannabis recipes

 

I had no idea that weed meals were such a big thing.

I might have sampled an occasional brownie in my youth, but I've clearly been missing out on haute cannabis cuisine. Now its a pot topic. 

Cannabis culinary expert Vanessa Lavorato - dubbed by the Los Angeles Times as “LA’s Martha Stewart of weed”- is about to release her debut book How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time. 

It is being promoted as "a playful, practical, and seriously stylish guide to making edibles that are as enjoyable as they are elevated". 

The tome will hit shelves on May 14 in Australia, and promises to showcase cannabis-infused cooking, breaking down everything from proper dosing to recipes like her signature pot-infused olive oil cake.

Lavorato has spent over a decade leading the charge on demystifying cannabis through a culinary lens.

I'm assured she "offers a fresh, empowering voice in the wellness-meets-weed space".



How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time is described as "equal parts cookbook, manifesto, and lifestyle guide" - designed to help readers incorporate cannabis into their lives with joy, mindfulness, and a sense of occasion.

So much better than taking a toke or two on the back veranda, or munching on CBD & THC Gummies - which, it must be said - do absolutely nothing for me.

Maybe I need some high-energy pot stickers.
