COOKING

Born from the flower of the cannabis plant is a seed bursting with vital energy that nourishes, heals, rebuilds, and refuels our bodies. Now this hallowed plant gets to shine in the world’s first cookbook devoted exclusively to the delicious and nutritious dishes you can make using hempseed. Why hempseed? Because, in addition to being perfectly legal and nonpsychoactive, it is packed with easily digestible proteins that contain the correct proportions of all eight essential amino acids, making it the healthiest vegetable protein available. High in dietary fiber but low in saturated fat, this miraculous and ancient food is also the planet’s best source of essential fatty acids, which have been shown by a wealth of scientific research to prevent degenerative diseases, clean the arteries of cholesterol, improve brain function, and boost our immune systems.

In The Hemp Cookbook, Todd Dalotto serves up a tantalizing smorgasbord of recipes that combine the unique nutritional advantages of hempseed with other vitamin- and mineral-rich foods to create one of the healthiest and most original cookbooks to be found. From hearty Hemp Pancakes to gourmet Spuds Done Hempy and holiday toasts with rich and creamy Hemp Nog, Dalotto has produced a book that will be welcomed by hempsters and mainstream cooks alike.With chapters providing complete nutritional information on hempseed, instructions for creating your own hemp oils, flours, milks, and butters, an overview of hemp farming, and a listing of sources for hemp foods, The Hemp Cookbook is the first and last word on cannabis cuisine.
