Tracey Medeiros is an American chef and cookbook author.[1][2] She wrote The Art of Cooking with Cannabis as well as several cookbooks that collect recipes from farmers and local businesses in Vermont, and co-authored a similar collection from Connecticut.

Early life and education

[edit]

Tracey Medeiros was born to Sheridan and Eugene Medeiros in New Bedford and lived in Freetown, Massachusetts for a number of years.[3] She graduated from Apponequet High School.[3] She has a bachelor's degree in political science from Northeastern University, a paralegal diploma from New York University and a diploma in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University.[4]

Career

[edit]

Her first book, Dishing Up Vermont (2008), features recipes from contributors throughout Vermont, including farmers and restaurateurs.[5] Medeiros began writing The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook in 2011, while writing a column for The Essex Reporter and Colchester Sun, and employed two recipe testers to assist with the collection of recipes from Vermont farmers, bakeries, and restaurants.[6][7][8] She also collected Vermont recipes in her 2017 cookbook The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook.[9] For the 2015 book The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, Medeiros worked with co-author Christy Colasurdo to collect recipes from Connecticut farmers and chefs.[10] Medeiros collected recipes from 45 contributors across the United States to create her 2021 book The Art of Cooking with Cannabis: CBD and THC-Infused Recipes from Across America.[11][12] The Los Angeles Times praised the book for showcasing a wide range of recipes, outside the usual "tired pot-brownie cliché".[13]

Medeiros also wrote the column "The Farmhouse Kitchen: A Guide To Eating Local" for Edible Green Mountains magazine,[4] and has contributed to Salon.[14] She has also worked as a guest cooking instructor in the Northeast region.[10]
