Open wide! Benny Blanco is ready to get cooking with Billboard and TalkShopLive.

The music producer will be showcasing recipes from his new cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends, and chatting with Billboard‘s Lyndsey Havens on Monday (March 4) at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.

“I know cooking seems hard. It’s not that hard,” Blanco says in a video teasing his shopping livestream. During the stream, Blanco will show fans and foodies alike how to make his “ultimate breakfast” using a recipe featured in the cookbook.

He’ll also be dropping details on “how to kick your friends out without making them hate you” and opening the floor up to questions. “You can ask me whatever you want – and I mean whatever you want.”

Plus, you’ll get an autographed copy when you pre-order the cookbook, which will be released on April 30.

The cookbook features chapters such as “5 Dishes to Get You Laid and One for the Morning After,” “I Wish I Were an Italian Grandma,” “Take Me to the Cheesy Rodeo” and “F–k Morton’s Steakhouse.”

What’s on the menu? Learn how to make Lose Your Mind Lobster Rolls, the “I Might Go Vegetarian” veggie sandwich, an “I Hope We Didn’t Make a Baby” breakfast burrito and other recipes, such as baklava, chicken cutlets with honey, peppers and parm, and caprese with roasted pepper and burrata.

TalkShopLive makes it easy to shop for must-have items from your favorite music stars and more. The first-of-its-kind platform combines shopping with livestreaming, offering a unique way to buy and sell must-have items online.

Garth Brooks, Jared Leto, Ciara, Jordan Sparks, Angela Simmons and Jessie James Decker are a few of the celebrities who previously collaborated with us for Billboard Live Shopping Week with talkshoplive late last year.

Some of the platform’s most popular channels include Brooks, De La Soul, Zach Williams, Blanco and Judas Priest.

Catch Blanco on TalkShopLive on Monday at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT. The livestream will simulcast across Billboard‘s and Blanco’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
