Ruth Robinson – Stirring Up Sweetness With a Twist
Hi, I’m Ruth Robinson—38 years young, happily married, and obsessed with desserts… especially the kind with a little extra magic in them. I’m a classically trained chef who spent years working the fast-paced, fire-breathing kitchens of Las Vegas. But today? I’m in my cozy home kitchen, apron on, hair tied back, and baking up something a little more elevated—cannabis-infused desserts.
For over a decade, I worked as a professional chef in Vegas, surrounded by big personalities, big flavors, and even bigger expectations. It was loud, intense, and exhilarating—and it taught me everything about taste, texture, timing, and presentation. But under all the hustle, I always had one soft spot: sweets.
I’ve always believed desserts have a superpower. They comfort, they celebrate, they bring people together. They’re the final note to a great meal—and the memory people carry home. But it wasn’t until a fellow chef handed me a homemade cannabis brownie—gentle, aromatic, and blissfully smooth—that I realized: dessert could do even more.
That moment sparked a passion I didn’t expect. I was curious. I wanted to know everything. Not just how to mix weed into batter, but how to do it well. How to infuse thoughtfully, dose safely, and layer flavors in a way that elevates both the dessert and the cannabis experience.
So, I dove in. I studied infusion techniques. I tested and tweaked dozens of recipes. I learned how decarboxylation works (say that five times fast) and what strains pair best with chocolate, citrus, or spice. I burned a few batches. I got a few things hilariously wrong. But over time, I found my rhythm.
What started as a fun experiment for my husband and me turned into something much bigger. Family, friends, and neighbors began asking, “Can you make that lemon bar again—the special one?” And just like that, my hobby became a purpose.
I created this book for people like you—the curious cook, the sweet-tooth adventurer, the at-home baker who’s ready to try something a little bold, a little blissful, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you’re here for the flavor, the relaxation, or just the joy of baking something new, I’ve got you.
You don’t need a culinary degree to make these recipes work. Just a good attitude, a basic understanding of the ingredient, and the willingness to play in the kitchen. I’ll guide you through every step like a friend—not a lab tech—because cannabis baking should be just as joyful as the result.
Today, I spend most of my time baking, writing, developing new recipes, and of course, spoiling my husband and puppy with sample treats (non-infused for the pup, don’t worry!). Life looks a little different than it did in those big Vegas kitchens—but I’ve never felt more at home. And I’ve never been more excited to share what I’ve learned.
So, whether this is your first batch or your fiftieth, welcome, let’s stir things up, keep things sweet, and explore the delicious side of cannabis together.
