Alexander Smalls is cooking up a sweet new book.

The James Beard Award-winning chef is set to publish his debut children’s book, When Alexander Graced the Table, early next year. Co-written with bestselling author Denene Millner, and set to be published by her book imprint, Denene Millner Books, the project will hit shelves in January.

Featuring illustrations from Frank Morrison, the book is a celebration of family and tradition, per its description. Young Alexander always looks forward to weekly Sunday dinners, where his whole family gathers after church to share a meal together. When he’s tasked with preparing his own dish for the first time, he must figure out how to make a meal that will satisfy his family.
