Leah Vanderveldt is a food writer and recipe developer with serious credentials behind her. She got her start at Conde Nast, writing for Vogue and Vanity Fair, before becoming the food editor at MindBodyGreen. She also holds a culinary nutrition certification from the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. In short, she knows her way around both a kitchen and a wellness conversation, which makes this book feel trustworthy rather than trendy.
The recipes cover a wide range, including smoothies, teas, coffees, snacks, desserts, savory meals, mocktails, cocktails, and even CBD-based skincare like face masks and moisturizers. What makes the book stand out is that none of this feels intimidating. The recipes are approachable enough for beginners who are just starting to explore CBD. Whether you want to whip up a quick tonic in the morning or try your hand at a homemade coconut oil moisturizer, there is something here for every comfort level.
The book also does a solid job of cutting through the noise around CBD. With so much information floating around about CBD, it can be hard to know what is true and what is not, and this book takes the time to break it all down clearly. Amazon readers have given it a 4.9 out of 5 rating, with fans praising its photography, clear instructions, and the sheer variety of recipes. If you are curious about adding CBD to your daily routine in a practical, food-forward way, this book is a great place to start.
