Reviews"Not only did this make me hungry viewing the pictures and reading the ingredients, but the book inspired me to take my medical cannabis consumption where it needs to be; consistently dosed, healthy and delicious." -- Jacob Redmond at 420 Product Review, "This gorgeous new 420 cookbook from Green Candy Press capitalizes on the fact that different strains of weed have different flavors and those flavors can be used to enhance the taste of food. With this book you can create food that not only tastes hella good, but will get you hella high." -- Stuff Stoners Like, "Many different extraction methods are detailed, including cannabutter, vegetable oils, and even nut butters. The thing that makes this cookbook really unique is the dosing chart, which allows you to find exactly the right dose while you are cooking and measuring out your cannabis-infused oils. This means no more surprises and doses that you can customize for your particular needs." -- Christina Bringetto at Heavy Magazine, "Catalano's innovative method of infusing terpenes (the fragrant oils that give cannabis its aromatic and flavor diversity) with food has been popularized over the past decade, and is now considered accepted wisdom." -- Avital Norman Nathman at Vice Magazine, "...marijuana is an herb, that each strain has its own aroma and taste, and that in cooking it should play its part in creating the flavor of the dish, just like sage or tarragon. Catalano's recipes endeavor to do this, and she has compiled a chart that lists 57 strains and their personalities." -- Jeffery Steingarten at Vogue Magazine, "Truly an OG cannabis chef, Jessica Catalano pioneered strain-specific pairing with her book The Ganja Kitchen Revolution, published in 2012. Since then, all types of chefs have gotten into experimenting with cannabis as a culinary ingredient, developing new techniques for infusing herb into fats or alcohol and seeking to either highlight the distinctive flavor or eliminate it entirely." -- Kind Peoples, "Jessica Catalano is known as one of the best top cannabis chefs in the USA, combining her love for cooking and expertise on cannabis she was able to make medicated dishes that benefits a lot of Medical Cannabis patients today. No wonder she is being called by many as the "OG Cannabis Chef" not only in the restaurant and bakery field but her impressive working experience in the cannabis industry, as well as in-depth knowledge regarding it have shown great feedback from the cannabis community." -- Jeffrey Maganis at Crowdcreate
