Tracey Medeiros is an American chef and cookbook author. 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

Tracey Medeiros was born to Sheridan and Eugene Medeiros in New Bedford and lived in Freetown, Massachusetts for a number of years. She graduated from Apponequet High School. 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.

Career

Her first book, Dishing Up Vermont (2008), features recipes from contributors throughout Vermont, including farmers and restaurateurs. 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. She also collected Vermont recipes in her 2017 cookbook The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook. For the 2015 book The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, Medeiros worked with co-author Christy Colasurdo to collect recipes from Connecticut farmers and chefs. 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. The Los Angeles Times praised the book for showcasing a wide range of recipes, outside the usual "tired pot-brownie cliché".{{cite news|title= 21 stoner-approved gifts guaranteed to be a hit with cannabis enthusiasts |author=Adam Tschorn|date=November 4, 2021|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2021-11-04/weed-gifts-spice-up-holidays-pipes-grinders-more}}
