Alternative Alchemy: Recipes and Mindful Baking with CBD, Herbs, and Adaptogens

A gorgeously illustrated collection of delicious and nutritious CBD-infused recipes that will satisfy your soul as well as your appetite.

The benefits of CBD are becoming increasingly clear, with new products showing up every day on supermarket and pharmacy shelves. Consuming CBD with food, especially healthy fats, can enhance the body's power to absorb and take advantage of CBD's healing powers. In this elegant and mouthwatering cookbook, Jamie Hall offers dozens of recipes that incorporate CBD, adaptogens, herbs, and other natural additives into tasty treats that simultaneously offer therapeutic relief. Hall first started experimenting with CBD baking when she experienced postpartum depression. She found that small amounts, when combined with nutritious food, considerably improved her mood
and reduced her anxiety. Created for today's health-conscious consumer and suited for cooks of every level, these mostly vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar-free recipes adapt well to CBD's flavor profile and temperature tolerance. There are tonics, lattes, and smoothies; pancakes, muffins, and bars; cookies, cakes, and pies; sauces, soups, and dressings. Hall also teaches you how to make your own nut and oat milks and butters--building blocks that
will help you create your own signature dishes. Gorgeous, colorsaturated photographs coupled with Hall's breezy, upbeat tone offer an unbeatable combination--food that looks good, tastes good, and makes you feel even better.
