“The 420 Gourmet - The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cooking”

Typically, cookbooks are purchased for how-to purposes. They are mostly seen as utilitarian. Not so “The 420 Gourmet — The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cooking” by Jeffthe420Chef. This is a completely separate genre, folks. It is the result of mixing art, science, and passion into something to be held in one’s hands. Even if you have no intention whatsoever to cook anything, you’ll enjoy the engaging text, such as Rules for Hosting 420 Meals, and a beautifully illustrated book. And to be clear, the recipes alone are worth the purchase. (See recipe on page 14.) Jeff is credited as the inventor of Culinary Cannabis, odorless pre-rolls cannabis flower and “tasteless” canna-oil and cannabutter. The recipes also work without cannabutter or canna-infused anything by substituting regular butter or oil. Think of it as a two-for-one cookbook. “The 420 Gourmet — The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cooking” can be ordered at jeffthe420chef.com.

“Cannabis and CBD Science for Dogs”

We first heard about “Cannabis and CBD Science for Dogs” by D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D. from the Canadian magazine “Modern Dog.” The book’s content is backed by thorough research and science and is written in clear language for the dog-loving lay person. A 2015 Inductee into the Dog Writers Association of America Hall of Fame and author of 34 books, Caroline shares case studies of a variety of dogs and how cannabis helped them overcome ailments such as anxiety and chronic pain. She also shares the myriad of therapeutic benefits of legal and veterinarian approved cannabis products for canines. Need another reason? Book proceeds find their way to nonprofit animal organizations. Check it out at carolinecoile.com.

“High on Design: The New Cannabis Culture”

Clear the clutter and move those stacks of old papers. It’s time to make room for “High on Design: The New Cannabis Culture,” a coffee table book paying homage to the new brands, designs, and creators behind the freshly minted legal cannabis industry. It’s a revolution, we’re telling you. It’s dope design (there, we said it). Published by Gestalten and edited by Santiago Rodriguez Tarditi, “High on Design” dives deep into the aesthetics and activism of today’s cannabis culture, including craftsmanship, literature, cooking, hemp clothing, history, racism, the War on Drugs, and much much more. Be ready to be inspired. This thing of beauty will be a joy forever. Find it at us.gestalten.com.
