Pop star Lady Gaga has contributed to an Italian cookbook written by her father Joe Germanotta, which is due out later this year.

The tome, inspired by Joanne Trattoria -- the restaurant Germanotta and his wife Cynthia own on New York's Upper West Side -- is titled "Joanne Trattoria Cookbook: Classic Recipes And Scenes From An Italian American Restaurant".

Made up of various recipes lifted from the restaurant's menu as well as family stories and anecdotes, the cookbook will also contain a foreword written by Lady Gaga herself.

"Joanne Trattoria Cookbook: Classic Recipes And Scenes From An Italian American Restaurant" is available now for pre-order and is slated for full release on November 22, 2016 (via Rolling Stone).
