Demi Lovato to release first cookbook, Entertainment News
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. Demi — 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." [[nid:719478]]

Demi Lovato announces new cookbook to help others heal relationship with food
Demi Lovato is cooking up something new – and no, it's not an album. The pop star, 32, announced Wednesday, June 25, the release of a new cookbook, titled "One Plate at a Time: Recipes for Finding Freedom with Food" (Flatiron Books, pp. 256, out March 31, 2026) next spring. Lovato, who has been open about her struggles with bulimia and other eating disorders, told fans on social media that the project was born out of her own healing journey with food. "Stepping into the kitchen and learning how to cook has been such an important part of my recovery and healing my relationship with food," she captioned a post on Instagram. "The book is filled with simple, comforting recipes that have allowed me to reconnect with myself and find both freedom and joy in my kitchen – feelings that I never thought I could experience." In an accompanying video, Lovato was seen pan-frying bread and an egg for a California classic: avocado toast. Lovato, whose Disney Channel stardom catapulted her to fame at a young age, has been candid about her struggles with mental health, substance abuse, and disordered eating. The move to release a cookbook mirrors Lovato's knack for diving into, rather than shying away from, the defining challenges of life in the public eye. "It has allowed me to see cooking as an act of love and kindness to myself and those in my life," Lovato wrote of the project. "I hope this book can bring that same feeling in your home too." Lovato's husband, Jordan "Jutes" Lutes, whom she married in May, voiced support in the comment section, writing, "Sooo proud of u baby 🖤🖤🖤🖤 u work so hard on everything u do and watching u on this journey has been inspiring 😘 I love u so much! Ps ur avocado toast is on the long list of reasons why ur my dream wife." Demi Lovato marries Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes Wedding featured Paris Hilton, Goo Goo Dolls Lovato joins a growing club of celebrities wading into the culinary world, including fellow Disney alum Selena Gomez, who starred on Apple TV's "Selena + Chef," and Chrissy Teigen, who has several cookbooks of her own. Lovato's book may take a more holistic tack, however, as she explores not only the recipes that make something worth eating, but the feelings that can make the experience less freeing. Lovato's approach aligns with movements like intuitive eating, which removes stigmas perpetuated by diet culture. Though online diets are often filled with rigid rules and exclusions, the healthiest way to eat takes into account your mental and emotional health as well, experts previously told USA TODAY. Demi Lovato excavates demons with honesty on new album: 'I can't believe I'm not dead,' she sings "If we're doing actions that support our physical health but they are harming other aspects of health, then it's not really healthy," said Kat Benson, a registered dietitian with Top Nutrition Coaching. As for new music, Lovatics need not fret. In a cheeky teaser, the singer seemed to promise a new project on the horizon. "Don't worry, I've been cooking outside of the kitchen too..." she wrote.
