Demi Lovato mocked after sharing basic avocado toast tutorial to promote her first cookbook
Demi Lovato has drawn a mixed reaction from fans after announcing her first cookbook, One Plate At a Time. To promote the book, the pop star, 32, shared a tutorial to Instagram of a simple recipe for making egg and avocado toast. In the demonstration, Lovato called it one of her 'favorite staple recipes' before drenching a piece of bread in oil and throwing it on the frying pan. After struggling to mash an avocado, the Skyscraper singer sprinkled salt on her toast before explaining how to fry an egg. 'It's so easy, even I can do it,' she confessed. 'I'm not a professional yet, but it's all about progress, not perfection,' she insisted. Fans had a strong reaction to the video, with one writing, 'Girlie is making an avocado toast with a fried egg in the announcement video... please, this is giving Brooklyn Beckham cosplaying as a chef for 2 days.' 'She's making avocado toast in the promo vid. Does she think we plebes can't figure out how to put avocado on bread? I'm tired dawg,' wrote another. A third stated, 'She's been cooking for only THREE YEARS and we're supposed to think she wrote her own recipes?' Other naysayers also couldn't help but bring up Lovato's infamous frozen yogurt scandal. In 2021, Lovato publicly attacked a popular frozen yogurt shop for offering 'sugar free cookies and diet foods', because she found it 'triggering' due to her past eating disorder. She later apologized for the comments after fans accused her of targeting a small business. Responding to the news of her cookbook this week, one fan snarkily asked, 'Is there a frozen yogurt recipe?' Announcing One Plate At a Time on Wednesday, Lovato wrote, '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 continued, 'This 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 I never thought I could experience. 'It has allowed me to see cooking as an act of love and kindness to myself and those in my life, and I hope this book can bring that same feeling into your home too.' Despite some of the negative feedback, most fans were overjoyed at the prospect of Lovato's cookbook. 'Her having a cookbook is HUGE. forget the album. this is amazing for her eating disorder recovery. so proud of you,' one gushed. 'Seeing you struggling with an eating disorder for years to now having a cookbook makes me so happy,' wrote another. 'I've loved demi since early Disney channel and my heart is SO FULL seeing her making a fing COOKBOOK! I'm so freaking proud of you Demi,' a third exclaimed. One Plate At A Time will be released on March 31, 2026. Late last month in May, Demi and musician Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in Santa Barbara at Bellosguardo Estate. Lovato was a breathtaking bride as she walked down the aisle in a Vivienne Westwood gown - just one day after they both participated in a practice run with the rest of their wedding party. According to Vogue, the lovebirds said 'I do' in the late afternoon around 4pm in front of guests. She wore a dress from Vivienne Westwood for both the main ceremony as well as the lighthearted reception, per photos obtained by the outlet. The gown the beauty wore just moments before saying her vows was made of a fitted corset bodice as well as a silk satin material. A sheer white veil was placed at the back of her head and flowed down into an elegant train behind her. When it came to her wedding gown, the singer gushed to Vogue that she has 'been a fan of Vivienne Westwood's designs for a long time.' The star further expressed, 'When I was thinking about [what dress style I wanted] I often found myself coming back to Vivienne's designs - specifically how the silhouettes really compliment the curves in your body, and her use of corsets.'

The French Way to Make Avocado Toast 10x Better
It's silly to talk about avocado toast in the year 2025. But is it? There's a reason avocado toast has stood the test of viral food trends. It's a filling, satisfying, delicious meal that doesn't take a lot of effort to make. Best of all, it's very customizable. Top it with sardines, pesto, eggs, fresh vegetables, Everything But the Bagel seasoning or whatever is speaking to you that day. And if you're looking for a way to wake up your avocado toast, there's one simple (and shocking) ingredient you need to try. To give your dish a brunch-restaurant-level upgrade, top your avocado toast with sliced bananas. Yes, you read that correct. Bananas. This unexpected ingredient upgrade from French bread baker and bakery owner Apollonia Poilâne will make you see avocado toast in a whole new light. Related: Sliced bananas are a game-changer in a number of toasts and sandwiches, including sweeter options like peanut butter and jelly or Nutella. And a similar synergy happens when you add a banana to a savory avocado toast, with "the sweetness of the banana and the greener flavor of the avocado bouncing off of one another," as explained by Kristen Miglore of Food52. In her cookbook, Apollonia Poilâne makes her avocado tartine (the French term for open-faced sandwich) seasoned with lime zest and juice, red pepper flakes, honey and, of course, the banana. Related: While it might sound curious or farfetched, the combination of avocado and bananas is far from novel. In various Latin American cuisines, bananas or their more savory sister, plantains, are deep fried and served alongside creamy avocado. In Filipino food culture, a common dessert is a bowl of mashed-up avocado and banana drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. Bananas won't just enhance the flavor of avocado toast. The potassium-packed fruit will also help round out the toasts as a more filling, satiating lunch. I will definitely make this as my next busy workday mid-day meals! It doesn't hurt that I basically always have the ingredients needed on hand. Related: 😋😋🍳🍔 Ready for a life-changing piece of avocado toast? Of course you are. For the full recipe, you can head on over to Food52's website, but here's the gist of how to make avocado tartines with banana and lime: Start by toasting a couple of slices of sourdough bread or another crusty, sturdy bread. Halve, peel, pit and mash one avocado. Spread the avocado mash onto the toasted bread slices and arrange sliced bananas on top of each toast. Garnish with lime zest, add a squeeze of lime juice and season with red pepper flakes. Drizzle the avocado banana toasts with honey and serve immediately.
