      The Weed Gummies Cookbook

      Recipes for Cannabis Candies, THC and CBD Edibles, and More

      Monica Lo

      "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."

      —Lauren Yoshiko

      Cannabis journalist and contributor at Broccoli Mag and Thrillist

      "Demystifying the process of creating cannabis confections, The Weed Gummies Cookbook will empower you to make your own gummies, caramels, and hard candies. Learn how to estimate THC dosages, infuse sugars and fats, and experiment with unique recipes featuring sophisticated flavors and techniques. Follow Lo’s expert advice and you’ll never need to visit a dispensary again!"

      —Elise McDonough

      Author of The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook

      "Since her Sous Weed debut in 2015, Lo has shaped and led the cannabis cuisine scene as an industry pioneer—destigmatizing 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. Lo’s signature, stunning photography brings more than twenty-five recipes to life, each delivering a tasty treat (and happy high). But my favorites draw upon Lo’s proud Asian American heritage, like lychee jelly, sour yuzu drops, bubble tea, and matcha snowflake crisp."

      —Katie Shapiro

      Cannabis journalist and senior contributor at Forbes

      "The Weed Gummies Cookbook delivers the breakdown that we all need and removes any hesitations one might have when creating edibles on their own. As one of the best photographers and chefs in the industry, Lo lays out this necessary guide with beautiful photography, a great color palette, and an editorial flow that takes you on your edibles journey and back in peace!"

      —Adrian Farquharson

      Founder of MARY Magazine

      "The Weed Gummies Cookbook is a true work of art. Vibrant flavor combinations jump off the pages, and I love the point of view Lo brings to her creations, with recipes that reflect her identity anchored in culture and food history. This beautiful book is a feast for your eyes and your cannabis-loving sweet tooth!"

      FOR MY SWEETIES

      david & milo

      preface

      I often think about how I ended up where I am today, and I’m amazed at how much it’s been shaped by cannabis. My journey pivoted in 2015 when I naïvely joined a high-intensity bootcamp workout with my then boyfriend (who is now my husband.) I herniated a spinal disk within the first week of class.

      My doctor prescribed a mixture of opioids and acetaminophen, but my adverse reactions to these, on top of the chronic back pain, were too much to handle. In desperate need of relief, I tried the cannabis-infused treats my roommate offered to me. And for the first time in a long time, I slept like a baby. The next day, I found myself spending hours upon hours researching this plant and how to make my own infusions.

      Since we lived in a strict no-smoking building, I needed to be very discreet with the wafting scent of cannabis; this meant that using a Crock-Pot or cooking on the stovetop was not in the cards. At the time I was a creative director of a sous vide start-up and thought I’d put our machines to the test; thus, Sous Weed® was born.

      Sous vide (pronounced sue-veed) refers to the process of placing your food in a sealed bag or airtight jar and cooking it in a pot of water at a very precise temperature. Since the cannabis and oil are sealed up and placed underwater to infuse—there’s no smell! With a sous vide machine, there’s no need to babysit an open flame. You can walk away and go about your day without worrying about overcooking your cannabis.

      Feeding people has always been my love language. I was excited to test my creations on friends and share my recipes online. Documenting my sous vide cannabis experiments not only helped me manage my back pain in a less invasive manner but also kept me in a positive and creative headspace.

      Deep-diving into history, I was shocked to discover that the medicinal properties of cannabis were first recorded in Pen Ts’ao, a
