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.

Tell the site how strong your butter or oil is and every recipe rewrites its ingredient amounts to match.

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.

Sweet potato fries

Roasted hot in plain oil, tossed in infused oil after. Roasting temperature is about twice what an infusion tolerates, so the dose goes on at the end.

Whipped feta dip

Salty, thick and ready in five minutes. The oil goes in last and gets whipped right through, which is what keeps the dose even across a shared bowl.
