For Drew Barrymore, cookbooks are always top of mind. The actress admitted earlier this year that she reads three of them a day.
This week, she talked about a life-changing list of favorite things, including a treasured cookbook, from the comfort of her kitchen (with her altar of cookbooks in plain sight.) She calls the weekly exercise “Drew’s Little Yellow Book.”
"It's very personal to me,” she said on Instagram. “But I'm always looking, learning, searching, investigating, studying, trying and testing all of these things that I think will make life a little lovelier, a little healthier and a little happier.”
Drew has owned and cherished The Blue Zones Kitchen, written by explorer and Guinness World Record holder, Dan Beuttner, for a long time. The actress loves the book, because it's a collection of philosophies and recipes from areas of the world where people live the longest.
