Willie Nelson cooks with a new collection of pot-soaked recipes.
The country superstar and legendary stoner joins forces with his wife Annie Nelson for Cannabis Cookbook: Mouthwatering Recipes and the High-flying Stories Behind themis expected to be released on November 12 through a partnership with Gallery Books.
“Through a lifetime of study,” he observes in the cookbook, “I've learned that the pot is more than a pleasure. Its positive qualities are limitless. It's a blessing and a blast. It's good fuel.”
The Nelsons co-authored the publication with David Ritz, Mia Tangredi and chef Andrea Drummer. These mouth-watering recipes are said to be drawn from meals they enjoy on tour, at their ranch, at home and in their favorite cities, and are accompanied by Willie's food-related stories.
It's a feast for the eyes (and the brain), with a how-to of Buffalo wings, chocolate cake, fried chicken and more, all with that special herb twist.
Also, reps say, a chapter is dedicated to essential hemp-infused ingredients, from hemp butter to finishing oil, simple syrups, sugars, salts and tinctures, and more, making it “a comprehensive guide for both beginners as well as experienced cannabis lovers”.
A 12-time Grammy winner, Nelson has collected numerous lifetime achievement awards, including one from the Recording Academy in 1999, another from the Country Music Association in 2012 (which named the award in his honor), induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, was honored with the Kennedy Center in 1998 and the Gershwin Award from the Library of Congress in 2015 and, in 2021 the Clio Cannabis Lifetime Achievement Award.
Long before the green stuff gained mainstream acceptance, Nelson argued that its risks were greatly exaggerated and its benefits barely mentioned. He turned his passion for things into a business, Willie's Reserve. “Cannabis culture is a way of life for him,” reads the quote on the official webpage. “And it's always operated with a simple philosophy: my stash is your stash.”
The 90-year-old is the subject of the five-part documentary Willie Nelson & Familywhich debuted last December at Paramount+ after premiering at the Sundance Film festival.
