Alice Babette Toklas (1877–1967) was an American-born member of the Parisian avant-garde of the early 20th century. With her partner, Gertrude Stein, she hosted a salon that attracted expatriate American writers, such as Ernest Hemingway and artists including Picasso Matisse and Braque. In 1954 Toklas published a memoir that mixed reminiscences and recipes under the title 'The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook' - the most famous recipe therein was called "Haschich Fudge," a mixture of fruit, nuts, spices, and "canibus [sic] sativa" or marijuana. Her name was later lent to the range of cannabis concoctions called Alice B. Toklas brownies.
