The first printed cookbook in Italy, “On Honorable Pleasure and Health" (De honesta voluptate et valetudine) was written by Bartolomeo Platina, the first Prefect of the Vatican Library.
“On Honorable Pleasure and Health" was first published in Rome in 1474 in Latin, and is notable for its inclusion of the first written recipe for a cannabis edible.
The recipe is as follows:
“To make cannabis yourself more commonly used as flax for thread, use a mallet to crush clods collected after a good harvest. Add cannabis to nard oil in an iron pot, crush together over some heat and liquefy into a health drink of cannabis nectar. Carefully treat food and divide for the stomach and the head. Finally, remember everything in excess may be harmful or criminal."
As Plantina’s cookbook addressed “the citizen who wishes good health and a clean life rather than debauchery”, it is remarkable that cannabis edibles were featured.
