I wrote a book.
That makes it sound more impressive than it is. Let me try again. Over the course of a few years, I wrote many cannabis-infused recipes and articles right here on this website. If you’re a super fan (thank you; I love you), then you are probably very familiar with my work.
You’ve probably also noticed that I haven’t been cranking out content like I used to (or at all). There are a few reasons for that (and you’ll be able to read all about it in my book that I still haven’t told you much about), but I mainly felt burnt out. It is a shocking amount of work to write, star, edit, produce, and market a blog or channel. Never mind one that floats the line of legality and “adult” entertainment. Don’t even get me started on how channels that focus on alcohol don’t face any of the same scrutiny. It took its toll.
Once I had some time away from Pot Lunch, I hated letting it all sit on the internet to eventually get taken out by forgetting to log in frequently enough or deciding I didn’t want to pay to keep the domain name. I wanted to give Pot Lunch one final send-off, kiss it goodbye, and give it a little slap on the bum before getting it into my past to become another one of my “Remember when I used to do this” stories.
I’ve always wanted to publish a book, so the idea of The Pot Lunch Recipe Book was born.
“It’s all right there,” I thought smugly.
And it is, but like many creators who look back at their early work, I saw the holes, flaws, and missing bits of information I later learned to include. Over the last few months, in my free time, I’ve been filling in those holes and smoothing out the rough edges. I staged new photoshoots featuring refined versions of my original concepts. I have compiled my favorite 23ish recipes and updated them to be more precise. I’ve assembled a new Infusions 101 section for beginners and those needing a reminder.
This book is a love letter to my time as your favorite edible maker on YouTube and as an amateur home chef (although I still am the latter; I just don’t record it anymore).
Like this blog and YouTube channelx, the book is entirely self-made. So please understand that while I have a general timeline for its release, I am also not going to rush myself. Just know that it will be available for pre-order by the winter holidays. It may be available before that, but I am at the mercy of my unique brand of neurodivergence and the printing company.
Here’s what I do know:
- For a limited time, you can buy the book directly from me, with the option to have it signed. All pre-orders will ship from my local post office, and you will get a better price than if you purchased them later. I will have limited stock available to ship. Payments will be accepted via PayPal.
- After my limited stock sells, you can continue to purchase through major online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. They will be printed on demand, which means there will be a longer-than-usual lead time for delivery. Unless demand is exceptionally high (it will not be; I’m being realistic and not pessimistic. Adjust your expectations accordingly).
- I am still determining the final format. Paperback books are cheaper to produce and, therefore, more affordable for you, but I prefer hardcover cookbooks. Feel free to let me know what your preference is.
- I will also be offering an ebook version, but you will only be able to purchase it directly from me because I want it to remain DRM-free. Then, you’ll be able to put it on whatever device you’d like. More details on that are coming soon.
The more people who pre-order, the cheaper I’ll be able to sell you a copy. So please sign up to get notified when pre-orders open by clicking here. The email list will be notified before any other channel, so please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
I hope you find the book informative and inspirational.
