Demi Lovato to release her first cookbook
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."

Disney confirms live-action Lilo and Stitch 2 is in the works
A live-action Lilo and Stitch 2 is in the works. Disney has confirmed via social media that it's currently working on another movie in its popular Lilo and Stitch film franchise. In a promotional video for the new movie, Stitch is seen excitedly driving into the parking lot of the Disney film studios. The fictional character then performs a series of sharp turns, with his tyre marks confirming that Lilo and Stitch 2 is now in development. Disney captioned the Instagram post: "should've known he couldn't keep a secret. "a 626 day surprise: #LiloAndStitch 2 is now in development! (sic)" Despite this, Disney hasn't revealed any further details about the project, such as the film's cast or the release date. The studio has already enjoyed huge success with the Lilo and Stitch franchise, including the original movie back in 2002. The live-action Lilo and Stitch remake premiered last month and quickly became a big success at the box office. The film - which featured the likes of Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance and Zach Galifianakis - has already grossed more than $900 million. Dean Fleischer Camp directed the live-action Lilo and Stitch remake, and he previously revealed that he jumped at the opportunity to helm the project. The 41-year-old director told Deadline: "It's always been my favourite Disney animated film, and it's always been the one that I felt like I could do a live-action adaptation of because when I saw the original in theatres, I was in high school, and it didn't look like any other animated Disney movie I'd ever seen. "The characters felt so authentic and a little rough around the edges in a way that I now know is the influence of Chris Sanders' actual, original art style. But at the time, I just thought, wow, this is such a different look for a Disney movie. "It's also the thing that made it seem like there's a great opportunity here to tell a live-action version of these characters because, unlike most Disney animated films, it takes place in contemporary society. It stars real, mostly humans going through some real stuff that many other humans go through daily. So, it felt like a great opportunity. I jumped at the chance." The director actually loved how his movie turned out. He shared: "I think we were all coming from a place of real love for the original. It's always been my favourite Disney movie. And so, I think there were a lot of those, and sometimes you have to let go and kill your darlings and it just doesn't work out for one reason or another. But I think the main things that we were really focused on, we got, and I'm proud that we nailed it."

It's hardly breaking news, people: Sex sells and Sabrina's a savvy vendor
In case you've been living under a rock while the world quite literally blows up around us, for reasons unbeknownst we are still talking about Sabrina Carpenter, the 'woman who ruled most of 2025'. If you need me to fill in the gaps, she's that pint-sized ex-Disney princess producing earworms and pornographically suggestive album covers where she's crouching on all fours in front of a man who's grabbing her hair (and please give me the number of whoever designed the cave you're living in). In fact, there was so much hoo-ha around the aforementioned album cover, she's released an alternative one 'approved by God': a classy black-and-white Marilyn Monroe-esque pose of Carpenter holding a man's arm. It's a tale as old as time (or at least the internet): a pop starlet comes crashing into our collective consciousness, producing catchy but non-memorable songs and we scratch our heads, trying to work out what her secret sauce is. We did it to Miley Cyrus (I endured her tongue-twerking 2014 Bangerz tour as a support worker accompanying a fan), Tay Tay and Rihanna. Carpenter is the latest incarnation, and it's no mystery what part of her strategic brand is selling (her first Man's Best Friend album cover might give you a clue). Yet, we discuss ... Some argue the cover, and by extension, Carpenter's brand identity, is 'secretly satirical'. Others have suggested her secret sauce is 'comedy'. Loading Her recently released single Manchild is hanging on the pointy end of the Billboard 100 charts (No. 2 at the time of writing) and, sure, it's catchy. Some lyrics are funny ('Why so sexy if so dumb? And how survive the Earth so long?') But let's not kid ourselves or ignore the Daisy Dukes (very short cut-off jeans) in the Manchild video: sex is still the main brand pillar, and it's getting old. I just learnt that Carpenter is a Disney graduate, which makes sense; I should have picked it. This is a classic brand evolution playbook: somewhere in Hollywood there's a seedy PR dude ripe for a #metoo exposé after years of ushering Disney princesses out of the castle and into the red-light district. Love her or hate her, right-wing commentator Candace Owens nailed it when she said of that album cover: 'If she had wanted to be controversial, she'd have kept her clothes on, gotten married and had some kids on the cover of her album, like she just had a nice family shot.'
