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.

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.

Vanilla ice cream

Custard base, which means egg yolks, and the yolks are what make an infused fat workable here at all. Their lecithin breaks the fat into droplets small enough to freeze smooth instead of in waxy specks.

Chocolate truffles

Ganache is an emulsion of cream into chocolate, and it breaks for the same reasons mayonnaise does. Warm cream, finely chopped chocolate and stirring from the center out are what keep it together.

Buckeyes

Peanut butter fudge rolled into balls and dipped so a bare circle shows on top, the way the nut does. Cold, firm centers are what keep the filling out of the chocolate bowl.

Buttermilk ranch dressing

Mayonnaise, buttermilk and soft herbs whisked into a pourable dressing. Because it is spooned onto an individual plate, each person decides their own serving, which is the most forgiving arrangement there is.

Caramel apples

A dipping caramel cooked to 245 °F and then allowed to fall to about 200 °F before the butter goes in — which happens to be the same temperature at which caramel coats an apple instead of sliding off it.

SideStandardNo smell

Mexican street corn

Charred corn rolled in a mayonnaise and crema coating, then cotija and chili. The infusion lives in the coating and never goes near the fire, which keeps the whole thing simple and predictable.

Pecan caramel turtles

Clusters of toasted pecans under a spoonful of caramel and a cap of chocolate. Caramel taken to 245 °F stays where you put it instead of creeping out from under the chocolate a day later.
