The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook is a cannabis cookbook published in 2012 by Chronicle Books. The author, Elise McDonough, was art director at High Times magazine and the recipes were published in the magazine's recipe column. [1]
Publishers Weekly praised the chapter on holiday cooking with cannabis, saying the THC turkey injected with a "magic marinade" "could mellow out the harshest of family Thanksgivings". [2] LA Weekly said it was "the first pot cookbook we've seen that reads like a modern cookbook". [3] Vice and a Jewish food website noted the THC-infused latkes recipe in the book. [4] [5]
Academic Marion Nestle stated in 2021 at foodpolitics.com that she was surprised to see that there was "an entire cookbook genre" concerning cannabis, of which McDonough's book was her exmplar. [6]
