Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

BreakfastStandard

Buttermilk pancakes

Three of the sources we surveyed carry a pancake recipe and none of them mention the problem: a griddle runs far hotter than an infusion survives. The butter goes on top, not in the pan.

BreakfastStandard

Cinnamon french toast

Thick-cut bread in a cinnamon custard, with the infused butter worked into a topping rather than cooked into the pan. The skillet gets plain butter; the dose goes on afterward.

MainStandard

Creamy tomato soup

Canned tomatoes cooked down with onion and garlic, blended smooth, then finished with cream and a slug of olive oil once the pot is off the burner. Ladling measured bowls is what keeps the servings honest.

SnackStandard

Crispy rice cereal treats

No oven and about ten minutes of work. The marshmallow goes on the heat, the infusion goes in after, and the whole thing lives or dies on how evenly you press the pan.

MainStandard

Garlic herb butter pasta

A ten-minute emulsified butter sauce built in the pan with pasta water. Dinner that happens to be dosed, rather than a dessert pretending to be dinner.

Warm spiced milk with turmeric and black pepper. Made in one pan in five minutes, with nothing hot enough to hurt the infusion.

SauceStandard

Marinara sauce

A long-simmered tomato sauce with the oil stirred in at the very end. Freeze it in portions and it doses pasta, eggs or pizza for a month.

Masala chai

Spices simmered in water, milk added after, infused fat whisked in off the heat. Nothing in it ever boils once the dose is in.

DrinkStandardNo smell

Mulled apple cider

Spiced cider warmed on the stove, with the infusion whisked in off the heat. A pot that serves a group, portioned into mugs rather than ladled freely.

MainStandard

Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

DrinkStandardNo smell

Spiced hot chocolate

Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.
