Demi Lovato is entering an exciting new chapter in their personal and professional journey with the upcoming release of their first cookbook, ONE PLATE AT A TIME: Recipes for Finding Freedom with Food.
Known globally for their powerhouse vocals, acting talent, and candid openness about personal struggles, Lovato is now channeling their creativity into the culinary world.
The 32-year-old star took to Instagram to unveil the cookbook with a heartfelt video. In it, Lovato shares how cooking has become a vital part of their healing process, saying the recipes are crafted to “emphasize enjoyment over perfection.” The post read, “I am so excited to announce my first cookbook: One Plate At A Time. Stepping into the kitchen and learning how to cook has been such an important part of my recovery and healing my relationship with food.”
Lovato’s cookbook promises accessible, comforting recipes that are not just about food, but about emotional wellness. Featuring simple, feel-good dishes, the cookbook offers an inclusive approach to cooking that prioritizes self-love and balance. According to Lovato, these meals helped restore joy and freedom to their daily life, making the process of cooking both therapeutic and fulfilling.
Set for release on March 31, 2026, One Plate at a Time is available for pre-order now. The cookbook’s cover shows Lovato in a relaxed, cozy outfit—an olive-green silk blouse and a blue-and-white cardigan—savoring a plate of pasta, perfectly capturing the book’s spirit of warmth and nourishment.
Lovato, who has been open about past battles with eating disorders, said the cookbook is a reflection of their transformation. “Cooking helped me reconnect with food in a healthy way. It gave me back something I’d lost for years,” they shared.
The official synopsis reads: “Demi Lovato’s cooking journey started when she was nearly thirty. After years of disordered eating and emotional struggle, learning to cook became a powerful act of reclaiming joy and self-care.”
With One Plate at a Time, Lovato is not just offering recipes—they’re inviting readers to find healing, comfort, and confidence in the kitchen through this deeply personal cookbook.
