I’m Vanessa Lavorato, edible maker, chocolatier, and host of The Edibles Club. My cookbook How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time will teach you how to cook with cannabis at home!

You probably know me from Bong Appétit, but I’ve been making edibles since 2010 and I’ve learned a few tricks along the way. So if you want to learn how to make infused tortillas, or ganja guacamole or Stoney Sloppy Joes then join me every Saturday for my YouTube Livestreams!

Want a direct line to me and my community of cannabis connoisseurs? Come hang out with us on Patreon via The Edibles Club. We share advice, stories, music, and of course, tips on edibles.

So you want to eat weed

and have a good time?
