Making Mahjoun with Ice-Water Hash

In this episode of Bong Appetit, host Abdullah Saeed heads to California’s central coast to learn how to make ice-water hash and whips up a batch of cannabis-infused savory-sweet Moroccan mahjoun from a 1,000-year-old Berber recipe. Starting out at the farm of Emerald Alchemy’s Billie Thibodeau, Abdullah goes elbow-deep in icy water to process 12 heady pounds of Granddaddy Purple trim into pure hash. Then, we’re off to the commercial kitchen of Deborah Schatan (Edible Complex) to make the mahjoun, which is loaded with a menagerie of nuts, fruits, spices—and, of course, hash.

Christmas Egg Nug

Worldwide sensation Nonna Marijuana is back for the holidays, and this time she’s baking weed-infused Christmas cookies and “Egg Nug” (yep, we said nug) for Santa with host Abdullah Saeed. Throw on an ugly holiday sweater and settle in for a real treat. Don’t worry—Santa wasn’t too buzzed to make all of his stops after consuming Nonna’s infused edibles. So, if you’ve been really good this year, Santa might even stick some of the North Pole’s finest merry-juana in your stocking, too!
Nonna Marijuana Responds to Your Comments

You may remember 91-year-old weed chef Nonna Marijuana from our premiere episode of Bong Appetit. The ganja-friendly grandma got quite a bit of attention for her cannabis culinary skills, as well as her signature dishes such as Chicken Pot-cciatore. Now you can watch Nonna catch up on your YouTube comments, and even respond to the remarks and questions of a lucky few of you. Hey, just because she’s a nonagenerian doesn’t mean that she’s clueless about the ways of the ‘net.
Cannabis Creamery

In this episode of Bong Appetit, host Abdullah Saeed (aka “Captain Cannabis”) checks out Cannabis Creamery, a Sausalito, CA-based ice cream company that is producing sweet THC-infused treats in a range of fantastic flavors. From classic mint-chip to a grapefruit sorbet originally designed for the Grateful Dead, this ice cream is dankly delicious. Owner Isaac Lappert takes us on a visit to the family’s original business—Lappert’s Ice Cream—to hear Cannabis Creamery’s origin story straight from the horse’s mouth. Isaac’s dad Michael flashes back to the 80s, when the Grateful Dead requested a batch of “special” ice cream—and the rest, as they say, is history. After checking out the factory where the medicinal magic happens, Isaac shows us how to make our own batch of cannabis-infused ice cream at home before rounding out the day with a weed ice cream social on the beautiful San Francisco Bay.
