Monica Lo is the creator of Sous Weed, a blog-turned culinary cannabis resource she founded in 2015. With a formal background in communication design from Pratt Institute, she built her skills as a food photographer and stylist, and her work has been featured on The Today Show, VICE's Munchies, Healthyish, and in publications like Vogue. What sets this book apart is how personal it feels. The recipes draw on flavors from Lo's Taiwanese American background, and she wrote, designed the book, and photographed everything herself. That hands-on care shows throughout every page.
The recipes inside include things like Sour Green Apple Gummies, Lavender Chamomile Sleep Gummies, Mocha Caramels, and Honey Elderberry Lozenges. There is real variety here, ranging from fruity and bright to rich and earthy, so you are unlikely to get bored. Each recipe comes with step-by-step instructions, color photos, and pro tips for safely handling and labeling your confections. The book also serves as an educational resource, offering guidance on childproofing and safety labeling, which makes it a thoughtful choice for anyone who is new to making edibles at home.
One of the best reasons to make your own edibles is the cost savings. Dispensary shelves are now filled with all sorts of creative edibles, but legalization has brought taxes and strict regulations, which means higher prices and state-mandated dosages. Making treats at home gives you far more flexibility and control. A portion of the profits from the book is also donated to the Last Prisoner Project, so your purchase supports something meaningful beyond your kitchen counter. Rated 4.
