PEACE News & Views Ep28 With Madame Cannoli- Kimberly Hooks

Kimberly Hooks is known in the cannabis community as Madame Cannoli. Partner in life, love, & business to Frenchy Cannoli. Frenchy was a California-based teacher, consultant, artisan, and activist dedicated to the production and appreciation of traditional cannabis concentrates. Frenchy grew up in Nice, France but left home as soon as he could, inspired by the promise of exotic adventure — and by the imported hashish common in the late-60s Europe. He lived nomadically for over twenty years, staying with traditional producers and learning techniques handed down over generations. This took him from Morocco to Mexico, to Nepal, Pakistan, and India, where he spent eight growing seasons living in caves and harvesting cannabis resin with Parvati Valley cultivators. Eventually, he settled with his family in California, where early medical access laws let him go from hiding his life’s work to producing legal cannabis concentrates. Frenchy passed away unexpectedly in July 2021, due to complications from surgery.

The Frenchy Cannoli Brand continues today with Madame Cannoli taking the reins in his honor

Kimberly Hooks, aka Madame Cannoli, is the widow of famed hash-maker Frenchy Cannoli. Frenchy and Kimberly met while traveling in Nepal and India in the early 1980s. Their travels ultimately lead them to California where Frenchy began teaching hash-making, writing hash-making-related articles for Weed World Magazine, Skunk, and other magazines, and making his small batch VSOP (Very Special Old Press) line of hashish from plants grown by multi-generational Emerald Triangle cannabis farmers. To honor Frenchy's legacy and continue his work, Kimberly has established the non-profit Frenchy Cannoli Foundation. The recently completed documentary Frenchy Dreams of Hashish is the Foundation's first project release in honor of Frenchy. Frenchy's book on the history of cannabis concentrates is slated to be released by the Foundation next year.
