  ## Critical reception
  
  Publishers Weekly praised the chapter on holiday cooking with cannabis, saying the THC turkey injected with a "magic marinade" "could mellow out the harshest of family Thanksgivings". LA Weekly said it was "the first pot cookbook we've seen that reads like a modern cookbook". Vice and a Jewish food website noted the THC-infused latkes recipe in the book.
  
  Academic Marion Nestle stated in 2021 at foodpolitics.com that she was surprised to see that there was "an entire cookbook genre" concerning cannabis, of which McDonough's book was her exmplar.
