Lo covers it all without wasting any kief: all the ways and whys of infusion; the options for tools and techniques at every level of cooking experience; the cultural and personal context behind these sweets. The recipes span nostalgic flavors and textures, offering satisfying takes on classics and inventive delicacies influenced by her explorations of Asian culinary heritage. The Weed Gummies Cookbook is an essential guide to infused sweets at home, as well as a testament to the way this plant creates space for people to more creatively explore their culture and passions.

Since her Sous Weed debut in 2015, Lo has shaped and led the cannabis cuisine scene as an industry pioneerdestigmatizing the plant through every post along the way. The legal landscape looks much different now, and The Weed Gummies Cookbook will inspire you to leave pricey, mass-produced, oversugared edibles on dispensary shelves to DIY instead. This extensive, yet easy infusion guide is the perfect primer for both the cannabis curious and connoisseur. Los signature, stunning photography brings more than twenty-five recipes to life, each delivering a tasty treat (and happy high). But my favorites draw upon Los proud Asian American heritage, like lychee jelly, sour yuzu drops, bubble tea, and matcha snowflake crisp.
