Latina Cannabis Chef Stacy Rae (Rubalcaba) Releases CBD-Focused Cookbook: Delicious Recipes, No High

Celebrated Latina chef and culinary innovator Stacy Rae (Rubalcaba) has launched her latest cookbook, “In the Kitchen with the CBD Recipe Guru: More than 60 Delicious Foods Without the High.” Known for combining her expertise in cooking with her passion for health and wellness, Stacy Rae offers readers a unique and approachable take on cooking with CBD-infused ingredients, aiming to enhance both physical and mental well-being.

This latest cookbook features more than 60 recipes that incorporate CBD or THC tinctures in ways that provide therapeutic benefits without the psychoactive effects typically associated with cannabis. Each recipe is color-coded to simplify the process, guiding users on how to dose and incorporate these cannabinoids into their meals. "The goal is to offer innovative, kitchen-tested CBD-licious recipes without the high," says Stacy Rae. "Not everybody wants to get high. Some people want to get healthy, not high."

Stacy Rae's journey into CBD cooking began with her own health struggles. After experimenting with CBD for pain relief, she found it significantly improved her quality of life. "I enjoyed tremendous relief with virtually no side effects," she explains. "I used less over-the-counter pain medicines and had less pain. I take CBD on a regular basis and remain in control of my health and feel vibrant."
