This is now also true for the pundits of French gastronomy, who are trying their hand at cooking with CBD. The great chef Philippe Conticini was the first to dare the premium CBD cake, with his cirrus offered in its Parisian boutiques during the 2020 end-of-year celebrations. On the program: lime and yuzu sabayon, pieces of Timut berry and grapefruit insert, blood orange, lemon… and CBD. Excuse the little!

Beyond surfing the wave of the very trendy cannabidiol, the French pastry chef has a modern vision of his art, and perfectly sums up the effects sought in CBD cakes :

“By integrating CBD into my baking, I first and foremost sought to exploit the herbaceous taste of this product. I found it interesting to explore these particularly intense aromatic notes of grass, and the bitterness that comes with it, to pair it all with citrus. If, moreover, one can feel, one or two hours after having tasted this cake, a feeling of well-being, appeasement and relaxation, Well fine ".

Finally, pastry makes it possible to consume its CBD directly with a fatty substance, and therefore to facilitate its assimilation by the body.

If your cookies are not sufficiently baked, it is therefore better to leave them a little longer in the oven than to increase the temperature.
