Fun Fact: The oldest recorded cannabis edible recipe is taken from one of the first cookbooks ever written: De Honesta Voluptate Et Valetudine (Of Honest Voluptuousness and Health), by Bartholomaeus Platina in 1475. The recipe was for cannabis nectar.


With that bit of history out of the way, creating your own marijuana edibles has gone mainstream and way beyond cannabis nectar or even "dorm room" brownies. Today, you don't have to be a master chef to create sensational cannabis infused desserts, refreshing cocktails or even a five course gourmet meal - all without having to leave your own kitchen.

Take a look at 5 Of Our Favorite Cannabis Cookbooks as enthusiastically reviewed in the "kitchens" of Team Bluntness. No matter which one you choose, each offers an upfront beginners guide so you can master the basics like cannabutter and cannaoil. From there, you can move to creating infused NY strip steak with chimichurri, french bread pizza, raspberry and peach pie, strawberry jam pavlovas and so much more. Enjoy!
