9. ‘The Vegan Stoner Cookbook: 100 Easy Vegan Recipes to Munch’ by Sarah Conrique
The Vegan Stoner Cookbook is a favorite on this list, because it includes easy vegan recipes that do not take a lot of cooking knowledge to prepare. Vegans can get the short end of the stick much of the time when it comes to cannabis cooking, as most recipes fall back on the old standard cannabutter to add THC to their recipes. Of course, you can always sub vegan butter or oils, but most recipes also include meat, other dairy, or eggs as well. Instead of buying a regular cookbook and having to veganize all of the recipes, try out this easy cookbook with recipes that feature accessible ingredients and cute illustrations to go along with them.
Price: Kindle $8.99 Hardcover $10.11
Buy The Vegan Stoner Cookbook here.
Pros:
- Vegan recipes are delicious for vegans or vegetarians as well as omnivorous eaters
- The recipes are easy to follow and use accessible ingredients
- The book has really cute illustrations
Cons:
- The recipes do not actually have THC in them, they are more for munchies than anything else (You can add vegan THC infused ingredients to them, however)
- The recipes depend on a lot of processed ingredients like canned crescent rolls and frozen waffles (However, it does include a section on how to make many of these yourself)
- The Kindle version is difficult to read
