Nice Times with Jorden Kedem 😊🍴
When you’re invited to someone’s home you quickly get a sense of who they are. Meeting Jorden Kedem last year after being invited to an infused dinner two things quickly became clear; damn she can cook and, of course, she has good taste. Having dosed us at perfect levels (no small feat when you’re serving a group of 8) we knew she was a trusted resource. For Jorden, 8 people was a small dinner. Having worked in cannabis for many years before launching her career as a private chef she has cooked large experiential dinners all the way to making standout meals for individuals. Telling us about the trials and triumphs of being a cannabis chef we’ll never forget the time she recounted a kitchen falling through leaving her with a large crowd of hungry people waiting to eat. Her solution? Order pizza and top it with keef. We tested this combo and can attest it’s a perfect combo.
From showing us bespoke designer accessories to always having access to *the* most gorgeous purple nuggs, lighting up with Jorden is a sensory experience. She even introduced us to Brooklyn Blackout Cake, a post-session munchie that we need to credit, and thank her for. We visited Jorden at her childhood home in the Valley before her family’s Shabbat to peek into how she uses cannabis in her day-to-day life.
