Let\u2019s face it: Store-bought edibles can be boring.<\/p>\n
No matter where you go, you\u2019ll find cookies, candy and the ubiquitous brownie. The more adventurous spots may carry savory snacks or \u2014 if you\u2019re really lucky \u2014 knockoff Cheetos, but you\u2019re never going to find a buffet of medicated foods to suit every appetite and diet.<\/p>\n
But with the right cannabis cookbook in your collection, you can expand your edible menu beyond pre-packaged foods to five-course gourmet meals \u2014 without having to leave your own kitchen.<\/p>\n
No matter which one you buy, the first 30 or so pages will be the same, offering a beginner\u2019s guide to weed, a dosing guide and recipes for oil and butter, the building blocks of almost every edible. Once the cookbooks lay out the basics, they can get into the good stuff: eggs benedict for breakfast, a New York strip for dinner, and plenty of snacks and cocktails in between. And most of the time, these recipes are good enough to prepare without cannabis.<\/p>\n
Whether you have the skills to compete on \u201cTop Chef,\u201d or you\u2019re so bad in the kitchen you can barely scramble an egg, there\u2019s a cannabis cookbook out there for you.<\/p>\n

cannabischeri.com<\/a> \/ $14.99\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re new to preparing food with pot, you might as well start with a cookbook that has the word \u201ceasy\u201d in the title. Author Cheri Sicard ran a popular recipe website for years, so it was a natural transition for this marijuana activist to write a cannabis cookbook. The Daily Beast once called her the \u201cMartha Steward of Weed,\u201d and until Stewart herself writes a book \u2014 and really, we all know it\u2019s coming \u2014 \u201cThe Easy Cannabis Cookbook\u201d will do nicely.

Known for his \u201cpot Shabbat\u201d dinners inspired by his upbringing in Orthodox Judaism, \u201cThe 420 Gourmet\u201d has plenty of traditional kosher recipes, including his famous potato latkes with canna-pear cr\u00e8me fraiche.<\/p>\n tgkr.co<\/a> \/ $22<\/strong><\/p>\n Cannabis Now contributor Jessica Catalano<\/a> is another strain-specific chef \u2014 in fact, she\u2019s the world\u2019s first. She first started posting recipes on her Ganja Kitchen Revolution blog in 2010, choosing strains based on the complementary flavors they add to non-medicated ingredients. The website inspired a book of the same name, where Catalano recommends adding Blue Cheese to biscuits, Pineapple Kush to a pi\u00f1a colada, and Sour Diesel to a Lebanese tabouli. If you can\u2019t afford the book, Catalano still posts plenty of free recipes to her blog.<\/p>\n penguinrandomhouse.com<\/a> \/ $30<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems like there\u2019s a Marley family member in every branch of the weed industry, and food is no exception.

But it\u2019s not just a cookbook; Cedella\u2019s volume also features wellness tips and directions for making your own beauty products.<\/p>\n cannabiskitchencookbook.com<\/a> \/ $24.99<\/strong><\/p>\n Robyn Griggs Lawrence cares about your well-being.
