AceShowbiz - Demi Lovato is stepping into a new culinary era, as evidenced by her recent Instagram post on July 24. In the video, Lovato shows her followers how to make homemade brownies, not only sharing a recipe but also opening up about the deeper significance of the post.
Lovato, who uses she/they pronouns, has been open about her struggles with eating disorders. In her 2017 YouTube documentary, "Simply Complicated", she detailed her recovery journey. Now, she is embracing cooking as a way to reconnect with food and find freedom and joy.
"Welcome to Cooking With Demi-a not-so-official series where I test out my skills in the kitchen and start to find freedom and joy again with food. First up, fudge brownies!" she wrote in the caption.
Alongside a recipe that features double the chocolate, Lovato guided viewers through the process, providing light-hearted commentary and acknowledging her novice status in the kitchen. Despite a few technical hiccups, the brownies turned out looking delicious.
Lovato's fiance, Jordan "Jutes" Lutes, gave the brownies his seal of approval, commenting, "Best brownies I've ever had by a lot." Great British Baking Show fan-favorite Crystelle Pereira also chimed in, exclaiming, "Omg you bake!!"
Lovato's culinary adventures don't stop at brownies. A recent Instagram Reel showed her whipping her hair to a remix of Tinashe's "Nasty" while holding a pink whisk. "In my @marthastewart48 era," she captioned the post.
Despite the celebratory nature of birthdays and special events, sweets weren't always a part of Lovato's life. In a 2020 interview, she revealed that for years, she ate watermelon cake with fat-free whipped cream instead of traditional birthday cakes. She later released a song, "Melon Cake," celebrating her breaking free from this tradition.
Lovato's culinary journey is not just about making delicious treats but also about reclaiming joy and freedom through her relationship with food. By sharing her experiences and connecting with others who have struggled with eating disorders, Lovato is inspiring others to embrace healing and a more positive perspective on food.
