"Cannabis-infused food is an evolving art and science. In this cookbook, chefs share their secrets for infusing everything from oil and agave to soups and cocktails with this once taboo ingredient. Covering every meal from brunch to late-night cocktails and snacks, the chefs approach cannabis as yet another fine ingredient to be studied and savored, like a great wine, a premium cigar, gourmet chocolate, or single malt scotch. With more than one hundred fully tested recipes from experienced professional chefs, this book guides readers through the process of making fresh, tasty, and healthy home-cooked meals using cannabis as the main additive. Step-by-step instructions on preparing cannabis for use in the kitchen as well as advice on personalizing dosage for different tastes. Tips for trimming, processing, storing, and preserving cannabis are included along with a "buyer’s guide" on the flavor profiles of many varieties of cannabis, showcasing strains based not only on feel-good levels, but more importantly, taste-good levels. Infusions are the heart and soul of great cannabis food. To make edible extractions, cannabis is heated gently in a fat or alcohol to extract the fat-soluble cannabinoids. This cookbook provides guidance in the preparation of infusions, cooking slow and at low heat, using alcohol, butter, oil, milk or honey"--Provided by publisher.
