A labor of love
A cookbook has been the dream since I started Sous Weed® in 2015 and this one is filled with my favorite confections with flavors inspired by my Asian American background. I wrote, designed the book, and shot the photography myself. It was truly a labor of love – The Weed Gummies Cookbook manuscript was delivered the same week I welcomed my son into the world.
The book also serves as an educational resource, offering guidance on childproofing and safety labeling. It encourages readers to shop responsibly and support BIPOC cannabis brands and organizations. In a commitment to social justice, I am donating a portion of the profits from The Weed Gummies Cookbook semiannually to The Last Prisoner Project to aid in criminal justice and drug policy reform.
