Chef André Schneider's Unconventional Journey in Cannabis Cuisine
André is an avid globetrotter who has enriched his culinary expertise through numerous fruitful encounters and the cultural insights he has gained during his many travels around the world, including to the Caribbean, various parts of Asia, and Africa, among other places. After several years spent exploring life in general, he completed his professional training just before turning 30.
But make no mistake: this somewhat belated start marked the beginning of an exceptional career, which allowed him to gain extraordinary experience not only in cannabis cuisine but also in modern fine dining.
His first job took him to Spain, specifically to the island of Mallorca, where he had the opportunity to cook for the legendary artist and music producer Dieter Bohlen. Later, his love of travel and exotic destinations led him to the Caribbean, specifically to the island of Dominica. It was from that moment on that he began his deep immersion in the local culture by getting closer to the Rastafarian community.
It was also around that time that his approach to cannabis took on a more spiritual dimension. In fact, it was more than that—it was a real turning point that allowed him to define his future vision for cannabis-infused cuisine, a vision rooted in the passions that define him: cannabis, cooking, travel, humanity, kindness, and aromatic and medicinal plants.
After spending quite a long time in the Caribbean, André returned to Germany, but his desire to travel was too strong, so he quickly hopped on a plane to Asia. He first settled in Hanoi, Vietnam, for three years, then visited neighboring countries in the region, such as Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. It was during this time that André began enthusiastically introducing his friends and many expats to cannabis-infused cuisine.
In 2016, he returned to his native Germany after gaining a wealth of experience “in the field,” before heading back to Vietnam in 2017, where he met his wife and eventually started a family. It was in 2018 that André’s professional career took a significant turn when Hanf Magazin, a nationally renowned German cannabis media outlet, invited him to write articles—specifically recipes and menus—to make cannabis-infused cuisine more accessible to the public.
In 2019, a new audiovisual project took him to northern Vietnam, where he decided to make a documentary about Cannabis Sativa L. along the Sino-Vietnamese border, highlighting its importance to local communities. One of André’s most memorable trips was undoubtedly his journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2019, where he worked as a cannabis consultant for several months.
In 2021, André wrote a magnificent cookbook titled *HighCuisine by Andre Schneider*, a true masterpiece for all fans of cannabis-infused cuisine. This book allows anyone to prepare delicious cannabis-infused recipes created by the chef himself. Since then, André has been working as a freelancer, organizing private dinners, teaching specialized cooking classes, writing cannabis-infused recipes, and helping to prepare meals at events such as the Mary Jane Expo in Berlin. Recently, he has also participated in various trade shows around the world, specifically in Mexico, Italy, Spain, and Berlin.
Today, André Schneider embodies the dynamic, cutting-edge trend in cannabis cuisine, seamlessly blending traditional haute cuisine with the full, complex potential of the many active and synergistic compounds derived from the cannabis plant (cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids). His refined and delicate cuisine is a direct reflection of the profound culinary experience he has gained through his travels, enriched by his many aromatic discoveries and the great humanity of this extraordinary chef.
