The evergreen country music legend Willie Nelson, along with his wife Annie, is soon to be serving up a different kind of hit with their upcoming cannabis-infused cookbook. “Willie and Annie Nelson’s Cannabis Cookbook: Mouthwatering Recipes and the High-Flying Stories Behind Them,” is slated to hit shelves on Nov. 12, and is sure to bring a new buzz to kitchens everywhere according to CultureMap Austin. Nelson who just celebrated his 91st birthday, is showing no signs of slowing down, his new album is also on the horizon, set to drop on May 31.

In a statement obtained by CultureMap Austin, Nelson raves about his passion for pot, saying, “Over a lifetime of study, I learned that pot is more than pleasure. Its positive properties are limitless.” Joining forces with his wife Annie, and celebrity cannabis chef Andrea Drummer, the trio is committed to delivering a collection of recipes that will include everything, from savory Buffalo wings to sumptuous chocolate cake and crispy fried chicken. The book promises to throw in a generous pinch of Willie’s personal anecdotes to season the pot.

Nelson's ambition seems to be about elevating the culinary experience with a hit of cannabis. Not only will the readers be treated to delectable recipes, but the book will also help them create their own cannabis-infused base ingredients, such as cannabutter, finishing oil, and simple syrups, a press release informed us, via Rolling Stone.

There's also a buzz around the entertaining anecdotes the book is set to share. Last year, Kelly Clarkson spoke about her experience on Nelson’s tour bus, telling a story about how she left feeling the effects of second-hand smoke and very much in need of a snack. She felt that her experience was “everything you kind of wanted it to be when you walked in, but then when you walked out you were definitely hungry,” according to Rolling Stone.

For enthusiasts eager to get their hands on these high-making munchies, the book is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Whether one is a seasoned cannabis connoisseur or a curious foodie looking for a new culinary adventure, Willie and Annie Nelson’s latest project might just be what is needed to bring high times into the home kitchen.
