About the author
Grace Fornasa has been working in kitchens since she was 14 years old, graduated the top of her class at The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College, with a BA of Science in French Pastry. After graduating she worked at many fine dining establishments in Philadelphia and New York City. Then she began teaching pastry at a nonprofit job training program that helped people get back on their feet. After that she decided she wanted to see the cuisines of the world and got a job where she could do that.
She started cooking edibles for veterans with PTSD in college. This sparked her interest in the healing power of cannabis, which she has been an advocate for ever since. She was inspired to write a book after realizing the power of knowledge was the best way to help people who needed it.
