Product Description
Drew Barrymore has always done things in her own unique way—including how she cooks, lives, and finds happiness at home. In her first lifestyle and cookbook, Drew shares recipes, stories from her life, and personal photos that show how she lives a healthy, delicious, and joyful life through her own rebellious brand of homemaking.\nIn her first lifestyle book, Drew Barrymore will take you inside her kitchen and her life, sharing thirty-six amazing recipes, from Soft-Scrambled Yuzu Kosho Eggs to Brie and Apple Grilled Cheese to Harissa Spaghetti, which she developed along with chef Pilar Valdes, a personal friend and a regular guest on Drew’s CBS talk show.\nThe book will also feature beautiful photos, many taken by Drew herself, as well as personal essays and stories about how Drew found her way in the kitchen, learned to cook, planted a garden and raised her first chickens. And, of course, how she learned to slow down, turn to nature as a teacher, always remembering to be humble and present while celebrating the joys of her family and friends around the table, both during special occasions as well as amidst the beautiful chaos of everyday life!

I Am Writing
Spring 2020\nEveryone has been affected by the pandemic. It’s been an opportunity for a world­wide reset. The questions that burn in my mind are these: If we are forced to live differently, can we be inspired to think differently? Is this when Zoom conferencing and workout streaming become the norm? Is this when we recognize what we do and don’t need? Is this when we go back to pioneering a healthier way of life? Imag­ine if we didn’t travel so much. I can’t begin to tell you how often I have to travel for meetings around the world. I love seeing the world, but flying can be stressful and is bad for the earth. I would be willing to give that up for a better, cleaner world. What if we only flew when absolutely necessary? What if we considered more than just our job or our vacation before we booked that next trip? I am self-taught, and the two ways I’ve learned are by reading and traveling—the two things that have made me who I am. (I think my endgame in life is to work at a travel magazine . . .) But we can all be more conscientious in our choices. Please don’t get mad at me for
suggesting “less of everything”: less move­ment, less stress. We are literally being forced to be still right now. Forced to stay at home. None of us could have predicted we would see this in our lifetime. And yet, I can see the future. A brighter future that exists for our kids—whether they’re our own kids or not.
I’ve always been the kind of person who hates soapboxes, and I don’t mean to be up on one now. Growing up in Hollywood, I felt the sting when listening to privileged people talk about others’ needs, and I especially hated it if they used their platform to take oth­ers down. I march in the army of optimism, and I’ve always refused to condescend or speak out negatively. There have been so many humans who have used their voices around the world to change it for the better. Maybe it’s their tone? Maybe if it feels inspiring and personal instead of righteous? Is that the secret sauce for hu­mans from anywhere and everywhere daring to speak up? After all, it’s always been humans who have inspired us. Therefore, everyone has the potential to be someone who will change the world in big and small ways.
