4 Appetizers An Appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests an Appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner. Usually, an appetizer is a small serving of food — just a few bites — meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people. You can also call an appetizer an hors d'oeuvre. Anappetizer is meant to stimulate your appetite, making you extra hungry for your meal. This is wherethe word comes from, literally meaning \"something to whet the appetite\" or \"something to appetize.\"

16 BakingBaking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types offoods are baked.[1] Heat is gradually transferred \"from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre. As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre\".[2] Baking can be combined with grilling to produce ahybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other. Baking isrelated to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit. Because of historical social and familial roles, baking has traditionally been performed at home by women for domestic consumption and by men in bakeries and restaurants for local consumption. When production was industrialized, baking was automated by machines in large factories. The art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is important for nutrition, asbaked goods, especially breads, are a common and important food, both from an economic and cultural point of view. A person who prepares baked goods as a profession is called a baker.

Remove the sheet from the oven when the cookies are a crisp golden brown and letthem cool for approximately 10-15 minutes before removing from the sheet.

21 Bread Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history it has been popular around the world and is one of the oldest artificial foods, having been of importance since the dawn of agriculture. Proportions of types of flour and other ingredients vary widely, as do modes of preparation. As a result, types, shapes, sizes, and textures of breads differ around the world. Bread may be leavened by processes such as reliance on naturally occurring sourdough microbes, chemicals, industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration. Some bread is cooked before it can leaven, including for traditional orreligious reasons. Non-cereal ingredients such as fruits, nuts and fats may be included. Commercial bread commonly contains additives to improve flavor, texture, color, shelf life, and ease of manufacturing. Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day. It is eaten as a snack, and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations, such as sandwiches, and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking. It forms the bland main component of bread pudding, as well as of stuffings designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out. Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment. It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture. Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language, where it appears in proverbs, colloquial expressions (\"He stole the bread from my mouth\"), in prayer (\"Give us this day our daily bread\") and in the etymology of words, such as \"companion\" (from Latin com \"with\" + panis \"bread\").

24 Cannabis Recipes A cannabis edible, also known as a cannabis-infused food or simply an edible, is a food product that contains cannabinoids, especially tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although the term edible may refer to either a food or a drink, a cannabis- infused drink may be referred to specifically as a liquid edible or drinkable. Most edibles contain a significant amount of THC, which can induce a wide range of effects, including relaxation, euphoria, increased appetite, fatigue, and anxiety. THC- dominant edibles are consumed for recreational and medical purposes. Some edibles contain a negligible amount of THC and are instead dominant in other cannabinoids, mostcommonly cannabidiol (CBD).[4] These edibles are primarily used for medical purposes only

Cannabis Butter 26Preparation: 10 Minutes , Cook Time: 60 Minutes Yield: 1 PoundThe amount of cannabis you use will determine how weak or strong it will be. Some people add as littleas 1/4 ounce, some more. You can also use margarine, lard, shortening, and any oil (sunflower, sesame,olive, peanut, vegetable, etc.) instead of butter. If you don’t want the house to smell like cannabis, just add7-28 grams of whole cannabis into a jar with oil and let sit for at least a week, this is known as CannaOil.The same goes for flour, by mixing powdered cannabis into flour will leave you with a perfect floursubstitute, CannaFlour. Just remember, any recipe that calls for butter, oil, or a fat can be substituted withthe cannabis version1 pound . butter (not margarine!) 1/2 ounce of finely ground marijuanaMelt the butter in a sauce pan until it's simmeringPut this on VERY low heat to only warm the butter.

If it starts to boil just lift the pot up and let it cool down a bit & turn your heat down a bit.Once or twice of this you will find the exact heat.If you let it boil over the oil will turn black and it will taste badKeep doing this for about two hours, after a bit the oil might turn a little bit green and brown. This is allnormal, and means that the resin extraction is working properly.After two hours take the pot off the burner and let it cool for about thirty minutes. Then take the pot andpour the oil thought that metal strainer, do this a couple times to make sure no leaf bits or anything endsup in the final product.Take the filtered oil and funnel the final product into the canola oilIt's the same as regular cooking oil but try to keep out of light as the light will take some of the effect outof the THC.

39 Dessert's Dessert (/d??z??rt/) is a confectionery course that concludes a main meal. The course usually consists of sweet foods, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine or liqueur, but may includecoffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items. In some parts of the world, such as much of central andwestern Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal. The term \"dessert\" can apply to many confections, such as cakes, tarts, cookies, biscuits, gelatins, pastries, ice creams, pies, puddings, custards, and sweet soups. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.

42Main Course The main course is the featured or primary dish in a Meal consisting of several courses. It usually follows the Entrée (“entry”) course. In the United States and Canada, the main course may be called “entrée” According to linguist Dan Jurafsky, North American usage (“entrée”) retains the original French meaning of a substantial meat course.A Sirloin Steak dinner. This may be the main course of a meal. The main dish is usually the heaviest,heartiest, and most complex or substantial dish on a menu. The main ingredient is usually Meat, Fish or another protein source. It is most often preceded by an Appetizer, Soup or Salad, and followed by a Dessert. For those reasons the main course is sometimes referred to as the “meat course”. In formal dining, a well-planned main course can function as a sort of gastronomic apex or climax. In such a scheme, the preceding courses are designed to prepare for and lead up to the main course in such a way that the main course is anticipated and, when the scheme is successful, increased in its ability to satisfy and delight the diner. The courses following the main course then calm the Palate and the Stomach, acting as a sort of Dénouement or anticlimax.
