Demi Lovato to release her first cookbook

Yahoo5 days ago

Demi Lovato is releasing her first cookbook. The 32-year-old star - who has been open about her struggles with eating disorders - will release ONE PLATE AT A TIME: Recipes for Finding Freedom with Food on March 31, 2026. A description for the book reads: "Demi Lovato's cooking journey started when she was almost 30. After years of navigating a challenging relationship with food, she found that learning to cook - discovering how to truly nourish herself in mind, body, and spirit - was a revelation. "It was in the kitchen, experimenting with flavours, connecting with loved ones, and channeling her creativity in a new way - that she truly began to appreciate and celebrate the joy of food." Demi's cookbook will feature over 80 recipes ranging "from breakfast to dinner, comfort foods to fast food-inspired favourites, soups to salads, and even go-to sweet treats." The synopsis continues: "Filled with beautiful food photography as well as snapshots that give fans a peek into Demi's home life, personal anecdotes, pantry tips, and cooking hacks, this is a cookbook for Demi Lovato fans, for people who struggle to enjoy food without guilt, and for anyone looking for a gentler, more grounded approach to cooking. "One Plate at a Time is Demi's set list for a delicious new way of thinking about food and how it fits into our lives." The former Disney star has previously alluded to her love for cooking and believes that making meals at home is "the biggest f*** you" to her eating disorder. Lovato - who has also suffered from mental health and substance abuse issues - told Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast last year: "The main thing that I'm working on is just body acceptance, and looking in the mirror and being like, 'This body is strong... This body saved my life and fought for my life when I overdosed. This body is a miracle.'" The Cool for the Summer singer explained that she is trying to learn "body acceptance" after her eating disorder battles. She said: "I have a treatment team that I work with that helps me stay in recovery, and I've been in recovery from bulimia for five, going on six, years now. "I'm trying to learn body acceptance rather than body positivity, because body positivity feels like, 'I can't even reach that yet.' I have a nutritionist and a therapist that specialises in eating disorders."

Two people rescued after going overboard on Disney cruise ship

Two guests, said to be a father and his young daughter, have been rescued by crew after going into the water while onboard the Disney Dream cruise ship as it returned from a voyage around the Bahamas. Disney confirmed that the rescue happened on June 29, saying that both were returned to the ship within minutes of entering the water. Social media posts from customers on board reported that the pair were a father and his young daughter. The father is said to have jumped in to rescue his daughter after she fell from the ship. It's unclear how she ended up overboard. 'The crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water,' Disney said in a statement to CNN. 'We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.' The ship was returning to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after a four-night cruise in the Bahamas, Newsweek reported, citing Disney officials. Passengers took to social media to share their videos of the boat rescue. 'We heard an M.O.B (man overboard) call over the ship's speaker. A little girl had fallen into the water, and her father jumped in after to save her,' said Floridian Janice Martin-Asuque on Facebook. 'Thank God they're both safe.' Passenger overboard incidents are relatively rare on cruise ships. Tales of rescue and survival can be even more extraordinary. In 2022, 28-year-old James Michael Grimes fell overboard from a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. He swam for what he believed to be more than 15 hours before being rescued by the Coast Guard. In 2015, a former Miami Dolphins player, Rob Konrad, said he swam for more than nine miles to reach shore after falling off his boat near the South Florida coast.
