— ON SALE APRIL 25, 2023 —
Country music’s singular Miranda Lambert delivers a gorgeous cookbook sharing both the recipes she was raised on, as well as the power of the incredible multi-generational women who helped make Miranda who she is today.
Dey Street Books is thrilled to announce the first book from multiple GRAMMY-winning, reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year and record-setting Country Music Association Female Vocalist Miranda Lambert: Y’ALL EAT YET? Welcome to The Pretty B*tchin’ Kitchen (on-sale: April 25, 2023; Hardcover; $32.50).
Growing up watching her father play guitar, it wasn’t long until she started writing songs and making her way through Texas’ vibrant music scene as a teenager. Chasing the dream, making her own CD and staying focused on the integrity of her music, it was only a matter of time until she garnered a major Nashville record deal. Known for the passion and swagger she brings to her music, Miranda’s albums and concerts create a place for women who live by their own rules to come together as a tribe. She’s won three GRAMMYs, 38 Academy of Country Music Awards (more than any other artist in the organization’s history) and 14 Country Music Association Awards, among countless other accolades and honors.
Recognized as having “talent and charisma on par with Dolly Parton” by The New Yorker, as well as being named to the TIME100 List of the World’s Most Influential People, NPR best captures the full force-of- nature musician by offering, “Over the course of her two-decade career, Lambert has established her own American iconography.”
That iconography and hard truth-telling is what sets Lambert apart. Fans of the East Texas artist know her heart and her life from listening to her albums, starting with Kerosene through the deeply personal double album The Weight of These Wings and 2022’s adventurous Palomino. With Y’ALL EAT YET? she takes readers deeper into her life off stage, on her farm and on the road, as well as sharing her beloved Airstream trailers, her signature fashion sense and decorating style. Lambert grew up surrounded by her mother and grandmother, and also by her mother’s tight-knit pack of girlfriends. With them, she learned the power of female friendship and the bonds that women share — and the way good food and drink is the perfect reason for any gathering of your girlfriends.
“Watching my mom and her friends, I saw the way pitching in, working together, loving music and being there for each other is the greatest gift you can have in life. I think my mom inherited that gift from her mom, because they both attracted the most awesome group of girlfriends,” says Lambert.
These colorful women knew how to have too much fun, come through in a jam, celebrate, cry when necessary and really, really cook. And it’s to these women that Miranda credits her own inviting, come- on-in personality. Each and every recipe in Y’ALL EAT YET? has been handed down from her mom, grandma and those cherished friends and include:
Nonny’s Banana Pudding
Paw Paw’s Bar-B-Que Sauce
The LOAF, a.k.a. “the meal that will get the ring”
Dutch Oven (Coffee Can) Campfire Cobbler
Stacked Enchilada Bake
Jalapeño Pimento Cheese
Roasted Root Vegetable Winter Salad
Whiskey Cupcakes
For everything from porch parties to road trips, the holidays and celebratory gatherings, Y’ALL EAT YET? is true to Miranda’s roots growing up in Texas. It showcases easy to prepare, hearty and delicious meals meant to be shared with those you love. Full of the moments most people never get to see in the life of one of country music’s most important female superstars—along with gorgeous fare and 50 recipes— Y’ALL EAT YET? was created to fill your belly and feed your soul.

More About The Author
Palomino, the eighth solo album from Vanner Records/RCA Nashville superstar Miranda Lambert, was the largest female Country album debut of 2022. Already named among the best albums of the year by TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum and more, it is the latest installment in a storied career that includes seven No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 radio singles, over 70 prestigious awards and countless sales certifications. The reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year, Lambert has been hailed by NPR as “the most riveting country star of her generation.”
With her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency now underway at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Zappos Theater, the top streaming female Country artist of 2022 was also named to the 2022 TIME100 list honoring the world’s most influential people, with Pitchfork declaring that she “manages the hat-trick of both timelessness and timely activaism” as the Texas native continues to expand the tent of the Country genre via her music.
In addition to Palomino, the celebrated singer/songwriter’s lauded discography includes Wildcard (2019), The Weight of These Wings (2016), Platinum (2014), Four The Record (2011), Revolution (2009), Crazy Ex- Girlfriend (2007) and Kerosene (2005). She has also released three albums with her trio, the Pistol Annies, as well as 2021’s GRAMMY-nominated The Marfa Tapes, a raw and intimate recording with collaborators Jack Ingram and Jon Randall.
The most decorated artist in the history of the Academy of Country Music, Lambert has earned 38 ACM Awards (including a record-setting nine consecutive Female Artist of the Year Awards), 14 CMA Awards, three GRAMMY Awards, the Nashville Symphony Harmony Award, ACM Gene Weed Milestone Award and ACM Song of the Decade Award, plus was named 2019’s RIAA Artist of the Year and was the youngest artist ever to serve as the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum’s Artist in Residence.
Idyllwind, her clothing and cowboy boot collection, is an exclusive brand sold at all Boot Barn stores nationwide, while her home goods collection, Wanda June, is available exclusively at Walmart.com. An avid animal lover, Lambert’s MuttNation pet product line is available exclusively at Tractor Supply Co. with proceeds benefitting her MuttNation Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that has raised over $6 million since its inception in 2009. The Foundation’s mission is to promote the adoption of rescue pets, support animal shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.
