About the Author Living and loving my life as a salon technician specializing in anti-age consulting and treatments, artist, and cooking and gardening. For some years, I went through an unusual number of health problems including cancer and neck injuries from two auto accidents. Pain finally caused me to obtain a medical marijuana card for relief. However, I didn't like smoking and wanted to find an alternative. When one of our pets became ill, I seriously began to research the health benefits of cannabis, seeking relief for Jack, our dog. My search led me to seek recipes and eventually to create my own recipes so people needing the relief that cannabis could provide did not have to smoke it. Eventually I began growing my own strains of marijuana to ensure I had the right strains and the right mix of CBD and THC and other components in the meals I prepared. It is my pleasure to present the results of years of research and experimentation in the kitchen to interested readers. Today, I enjoy nutritional conjuring in the kitchen, working with clients in the salon, gardening, oil painting, playing with and training our dogs. The best parts of my life are my children and my loving husband, Tom.
