If you have spent any time in your grandmother’s kitchen, you have probably seen a cool cookbook collection or two in your time. While most of us are used to seeing these collections in our mother’s or grandmother’s house, nothing can prepare you for what you are about to see. Drew Barrymore has been reinventing herself as of late and we are 100 percent here for it.
The setup that she has will put anyone else’s to shame, we promise you. Your mother or grandmother would need to spend the entirety of their days collecting cookbooks before they were able to rival her collection. In fact, she has dedicated an entire room of her home to this pursuit. It’s certainly not every day that you get the chance to check out an entire room filled with cookbooks!
She’s decided to share the collection on Instagram, which is awfully gracious of her. Now, we can pore over her cookbooks and see which ones we need to have in our own home. In addition to showcasing the cookbooks, she is planning on providing us with the chance to learn more about the recipes that she’s compiled.
Drew’s Cookbook Club is her new Instagram Live show and we cannot wait to check it out. As for Drew herself, she cites chefs as her heroes. “I must read 3 cookbooks a week…cover to cover! Not just for the recipes, but also for the stories about how the authors find their inspiration. In every cookbook there is one recipe that will change your life,” Barrymore said. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
The first episode of the series aired on August 11, in case you were wondering. During each of these episodes, Barrymore will be inviting an author from a different cookbook to speak out about their creations. They will be sharing their own work with the actress and they are also going to be offering their own favorites to the audience. Haile Thomas, a 19-year-old black author, was her first guest.
Living Lively is her plant-based cookbook and she provided an awesome look at one of her most delicious recipes: matcha ice cubes. Drew Barrymore already ranked fairly highly on our all-time-favorites list, but now she’s rising up the ranks even further.
