Bryan Johnson Bio: ----- I am a multi-talented individual with a passion for culinary arts and craftsmanship. My journey in the world of food and design has been a diverse and fulfilling one.  Culinary Arts: --------------- My love for cooking began at an early age, as I was drawn to the art of transforming simple ingredients into delectable dishes. I pursued my culinary dreams by honing my skills through formal training and hands-on experience. As a culinary arts cook, I have had the privilege of crafting exquisite meals that tantalize the taste buds and bring people together over shared culinary experiences. Children's Furniture Design: --------------------------- In addition to my culinary pursuits, I have a unique and creative talent for designing and building children's furniture. This passion led me to create beautiful, functional, and whimsical furniture pieces that capture the imagination of young minds. I believe that well-designed furniture can enhance a child's environment and contribute to their growth and development. Cookbook Authorship: --------------------- In 2011, my wife Maria Hartman and I embarked on an exciting culinary adventure together. We co-authored our first cookbook, a labor of love that showcased our culinary expertise and passion for cooking. Our cookbook not only featured delicious recipes but also reflected our shared experiences and the joy of cooking as a couple. It was a meaningful project that allowed us to share our culinary journey with others. Today, I continue to explore the realms of culinary arts and design, constantly seeking new ways to inspire and delight others with my creations. Whether I'm in the kitchen, crafting furniture, or sharing my knowledge through writing, my goal is to bring joy, creativity, and a touch of magic to the world around me.

Dedication

In the pages of life, a tale unfolds,

A dedication profound, a story told.

To Maria, a love so true,

My wife, my friend, in skies so blue.

In the tapestry of time, your love does gleam,

A guiding light, a radiant beam.

Through life’s challenges, you stood by my side,

In your love’s embrace, I found my guide.

Now, in the garden where memories bloom,

Your spirit dances, dispelling gloom.

Rest in peace, my love, in eternity’s embrace,

Your love, my solace, a saving grace.

Cherished forever, in the heart’s sweet rhyme,

Maria, my love, transcending space and time.

Maria with our niece Dakota. She loved her more than words can describe. Love you Dakota

Butter Infusion

This chapter is crucial as it contains the most important recipes in the book. You should try experimenting with these recipes to make them work for you. These are just guidelines to help you get started with this type of cooking. Some people prefer stronger flavors, while others do not. If you desire to enhance their potency, change the trim content. Weakening the product’s effectiveness follows the same rule. The successful completion of the first four recipes is vital as it sets the stage for all subsequent recipes in this book. The quality of your butter, cream, milk, or oil depends on the quality of the trim you use. Butter is effective in extracting THC. The higher the fat content, the better the extraction qualities. Remember this when adjusting the amount of trim in your product. Also, keep in mind that cannabutter improves with time, just like wine.

Canna Butter

This recipe effectively uses water to remove any debris from the butter, resulting in a more concentrated final product. The longer you cook the recipe, the higher the quality will be, with a maximum cooking time of 18 hours. The quality of the trimmings used will

directly impact the quality of your butter.

Ingredients

1lb unsalted butter water

1oz good trimmings

Directions

Grind trim in a coffee grinder.

In a heavy sauce pot put in your trimmings and cover with water about 4 cups.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to poaching temperature of about

160. Just to a very slow roll.

Add butter, cover and cook for 5 hours or longer stirring occasionally.

Let cool for about 20 minutes and strain into airtight container. Use a wooden spoon to mash trim and get as much of the butter as possible. Place in refrigerator overnight for butter and water to separate.

Remove butter and clean bottom of debris with butter knife, put in new airtight container.

Throw out water.

Canna Cream

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup canna butter

Heat cream and infuse butter. Whisking continually to combine. Do not boil

Canna Milk

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup canna butter

Directions

Directions
