The talented artist, Demi Lovato, delighted fans by showcasing her Thanksgiving culinary skills as she prepared a homemade feast entirely ‘from scratch.’ The celebrated singer, aged 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Nov. 27, to offer a glimpse of her Thanksgiving plate, which featured a delectable spread of dishes, including a succulent turkey leg, corn, rich gravy, traditional stuffing, creamy mashed potatoes, and tangy cranberry sauce. Lovato’s efforts were in celebration of the holiday, where she enjoyed the meal in the company of her beloved husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, as well as close friends and family.
The Thanksgiving gathering was particularly special for Lovato and Jutes, as it marked their first celebration since exchanging vows earlier in the year. The couple tied the knot on May 25 in an intimate ceremony held at the picturesque Bellosguardo Foundation (Clark Estate) in Santa Barbara, Calif. A source close to the pair shared with PEOPLE that Lovato is currently in a state of happiness and contentment, emphasizing her deep love and admiration for Jutes, who has been a source of unwavering support and joy in her life.
According to reports, Lovato’s journey towards creating a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner is a reflection of her evolving relationship with food and the profound impact it has had on her overall well-being. Having navigated through personal challenges surrounding food and self-nourishment, Lovato discovered a newfound sense of freedom and empowerment through the art of cooking. This transformative experience culminates in her upcoming cookbook titled ‘ONE PLATE AT A TIME: Recipes for Finding Freedom with Food,’ slated for release on March 31, 2026.
The cookbook will serve as a testament to Lovato’s culinary exploration, chronicling her evolution as a home chef, and the role cooking played in nourishing not just her body, but her mind and spirit as well. The collection promises to offer a diverse range of recipes, curated by Lovato herself, with a focus on simplicity, enjoyment, and well-being. The singer has assured her fans that the recipes featured in the book will be accessible, requiring no complex ingredients or advanced cooking skills, but a genuine emphasis on relishing the experience of preparing and enjoying a meal.
Lovato’s foray into the world of cooking is deeply intertwined with her personal journey, particularly her struggles with an eating disorder. In a candid revelation on Ashley Graham’s Pretty Big Deal podcast in 2020, the artist shared the challenges she faced, including intense workouts and extreme dieting, underscoring the importance of embracing a healthier and more balanced approach to food. Through her forthcoming cookbook and her own transformation, Lovato aims to inspire others to find joy and liberation in the kitchen, fostering a positive relationship with food and self-care.
As Lovato continues to navigate her culinary odyssey, her Thanksgiving spread stands as a testament to her growth, resilience, and unwavering spirit. With the release of her cookbook on the horizon, fans can look forward to embarking on a culinary journey alongside Lovato, experiencing the transformative power of cooking ‘one plate at a time.’ The artist’s dedication to self-discovery and well-being serves as a beacon of inspiration, resonating with those who seek to find freedom and joy through the art of cooking.
