"Whether by showcasing clever techniques, incorporating unexpected ingredients, or adding a bit of finesse through enticing finishing touches or thoughtful plating, Chef Adrienne is here to prove that Southern cuisine deserves a place at the table and in the narrative of serious cuisine."

"Celebrate with Babs: Holiday Recipes and Family Traditions" by Barbara Costello

TikTok creator Barbara Costello's debut cookbook.
Penguin Random House

Barbara Costello, a mother of four and grandmother of eight, recently became TikTok's adopted grandparent for her more than 2 million followers who view, like and recreate her family recipes. Her debut cookbook will bring readers closer to her own food traditions for every season with a glimpse at her tattered, torn and well-loved recipes, curated from her old, wooden recipe box.

"I was moved by how many people reached out to share that they deeply connected with my videos, saying that I reminded them of their mother or grandmother that they lost, or that I was teaching them how to cook for the first time, or that I helped them feel less lonely through quarantine," Costello said in a release for her book. "This really goes to show the power of food to bring people together to share joy and love, and I hope my cookbook is a reflection of that. Life is truly a celebration and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you."

Her cookbook transforms her "Brunch with Babs" online persona into a hardcover collection and will be available where books are sold for $32 on April 12, with preorder available here for $29.44.
