Actress, producer, talk show host, director and entrepreneur Drew Barrymore is all set to add another feather to her already loaded hat. The 46-year-old is all set to release her cookbook titled ‘Rebel Homemaker: Food, Family, Life’ soon. The book will release on November 2, the actress revealed on the Wednesday’s episode of her daytime series.
She also unveiled the cover alongside her “culinary partner in crime” Pilar Valdes, a chef who appears regularly on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’. The cover features Drew slurping pasta from a bowl.
