By Todd Dalotto

Book Overview

- The first cookbook devoted to the use of super-nutritious hemp seed. - Contains more than 50 low-fat, high-fiber, vegetarian recipes for both hempsters and mainstream cooks. - Nature's best source of protein and EFAs--better even than soy. Born from the flower of the cannabis plant is a seed bursting with vital energy that nourishes, heals, rebuilds, and refuels our bodies. Now this hallowed plant gets to shine in the world's first cookbook devoted exclusively to the delicious and nutritious dishes you can make using hemp seed. Packed with easily digestible proteins that contain the correct proportions of all eight essential amino acids necessary for good health, hemp seed surpasses even soy as the best vegetable protein available. High in dietary fiber but low in saturated fat, this miraculous and ancient food is also the planet's best source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), which a wealth of scientific research has shown help to prevent degenerative diseases, clean the arteries, improve brain function, and boost our immune systems. In The Hemp Cookbook , Todd Dalotto serves up a tantalizing smorgasbord of recipes that combine the unique nutritional advantages of hemp seed with other vitamin- and mineral-rich foods, creating one of the healthiest and most original cookbooks ever offered. From hearty breakfasts of Hemp Pancakes to gourmet dinners of Vegan Cannabis Stuffed Shells and holiday toasts with rich and creamy Hemp Nog, Dalotto has produced a book that will be welcomed by hempsters and mainstream cooks alike. With chapters providing complete nutritional information on hemp seed, a culinary history of cannabis around the world, a listing of sources for hemp foods, and instructions for creating your own hemp oils, flours, milks, and butters, The Hemp Cookbook is the first and last word on cannabis cuisine.

The Hemp Cookbook: From Seed to Shining Seed

This is by far the best hemp cookbook that I have seen. I appreciated the author's research on the nutritional benefits of hempseed and hempseed oil. The Mashed Sweet Potatoes (with hempseed oil) recipe will change our family tradition of "Southern Yams" for the holidays. This is a keeper!

A Soulful Journey

This book is a soulful journey into the heart and mind of a man committed to his craft. It is the most well-researched book on the topic I've ever read.It is an education in the science of vegitarianism, as well as a good read for those who are vegan-wannabees. The recipies are wonderful.I wish I could send a copy to every member of Congress. Reading it would convince them to repeal the anti-cannabis laws of the '50s.I anxiously await a sequel.
