Cannabis Cooking Classes With Chef Matt: What You'll Learn

Reading about cooking with cannabis is fine. Standing next to a chef while you do it is better.

My cooking classes are hands-on. You cook, you learn the why behind every step, and then you sit down and eat what you made.

Adults 21+ only, where cannabis is legal, with products from licensed sources.

What you'll learn

• The foundations: why decarbing matters and how fat carries THC through a dish
• Dosing like a pro: how to calculate mg per serving and keep every portion even
• Infusion methods: classic butter and oil versus measured nano infusion, and when to use each
• Flavor pairing: how terpenes connect cannabis to citrus, pepper, herbs and smoke
• Hosting: how to build a menu so guests who aren't partaking eat just as well
• Labeling and safety: the habits that keep a good night good

What we cook

Every class is built around a real menu, not a brownie. Think finishing butters for steak, infused chimichurri, a savory main like gumbo or risotto, a mocktail and a dessert. The menu is customized to your group.

Who it's for

• Couples: a date night where you learn something
• Friend groups: the best group activity I know
• Bachelorettes and birthdays: a class, then a party
• Teams and brands: education for dispensary staff, product teams and events
• Home cooks: one-on-one sessions to level up your kitchen

How it works

1. Tell me your group size, city and date
2. We pick the menu and the format: hands-on, demo or a mix
3. We plan the cannabis side for your state, or run it with no infusion at all
4. I bring the recipes and the know-how. You bring your appetite.

I'm based in Long Beach and I travel to any state. Classes can pair with a full catered dinner, a mixer or a buffet, with drinks, snacks and goodie bags handled.
