“E-40 is my big homie, my brother, my mentor,” Snoop wrote in the book’s foreword, per People. “Watching him expand his love for food and cooking over the years to his many successful businesses is some boss-level shit. Which is why Snoop Dogg Presents Goon with the Spoon had to be the next cookbook, ya dig?”

Snoop is no stranger to the culinary arts. Beyond his cookbooks, the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper’s 2017 Emmy-nominated cooking show with his pal Martha Stewart, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, featured a series of special guests such as Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent and Bella Thorne.

Y’all Eat Yet: Welcome to the Pretty Bitchin’ Kitchen, due out this spring, is comprised of recipes that are meant to “fill your belly and your soul” — some of which were handed down from Lambert’s beloved mother and grandmother. Others come from Lambert’s circle of “cherished friendships that helped raise her” and every recipe is meant to be shared with loved ones.

The cookbook ($35) is slated to hit shelves April 25, which means that it won’t be out in time to make your Valentine’s Day gift list, but you can preorder a copy now.

The cookbook will be available in hardcover, Kindle and audiobook formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop.org and other retailers (see a full list here).

Y’all Eat Yet? is currently the No. 1 on Amazon’s tally of hot new recipe releases in the burger and sandwich category. Lambert, who celebrated her four-year wedding anniversary with husband Brendan McLoughlin last week, announced the cookbook on Instagram last November.

“This is something I never thought I’d say, but…I’m releasing a book!!!! ‘Y’all Eat Yet?’ is a collection of recipes and stories from my pretty bitchin’ kitchen to yours,” she wrote. “I was blessed to be raised by two generations of hell-raising, hard working women who knew how to make people feel good. This is a look into our lives and the food we’ve made along the way.”

The cookbook is the latest addition to Lambert’s growing cookware and homeware brand after The Wanda June Collection, which is named after the Texas native’s mother and grandmother and debuted last year. Wanda June features a selection of affordable bakeware, cookware, kitchenware and decor items, including baking dishes, dessert plates, mugs, cups, wine glasses, rugs, decorative pillows and door mats.
