Willie Nelson wants more smoke in the kitchen and he's not talking about pork shoulder or beef brisket. On November 12, the musician will share his favorite weed-based recipes Willie and Annie Nelson's Cannabis Cookbook: Mouthwatering Recipes and the High-Flying Stories Behind Them. “Through a lifetime of study, I've learned that pot is about more than pleasure. His positive qualities are limitless,” Nelson shared in a statement.
The Cannabis Cookbook combines recipes for appetizers, main courses and desserts with personal anecdotes from the Nelsons about their relationship with weed and food. Some of the options include new takes on buffalo wings, chocolate cake and fried chicken. The cook was jointly by David Ritz, Mia Tangredi and chef Andrea Drummer.
“It's a blessing and a blast. It's good fuel,” Nelson added. “Along with Chef Drummer, one of the most famous cannabis chefs, and my wife, Annie, the most famous chef in our house, I'm excited to help you cook a whole mess of healthy meals.”
One chapter of the book, in particular, will take the recipes beyond the point of being high-scale edibles. According to a press release, a section dedicated to essential ingredients will walk readers through making cannabis infused with weed, finishing oil, simple syrups, sugars, salts and more.
There's no shortage of stories from other musicians about getting high — sometimes unintentionally — around Nelson. Last year, Kelly Clarkson shared a story about her visit to his classy tour bus, joking that she left with a hookup. “It was laid out on the table, it was so amazing,” she said. “It was like going to a store, like some old school Airstream in Los Angeles and this is the store where they sell. It was everything you wanted it to be when you walked in, but then when you walked out you were definitely hungry.”
Willie and Annie Nelson's Cannabis Cookbook: Mouthwatering Recipes and the High-Flying Stories Behind Them is available for pre-order now.
