Pun lovers and foodies, your new favorite book has arrived.

Don’t Worry, Be Ha-PEA: 101 Deliciously Clever Food Puns by Marie Saba contains beautiful photographs of food against colorful backgrounds and hilarious wordplay.

Saba herself is a former lawyer turned cook, posting punny food images on her own Instagram page. She also hosted and produced the cooking show It’s Easier Than You Think, which won two Telly Awards.

How can you not smile at this?

The book’s table of contents is divided into seven sections: Deliciously Romantic, Movie Title Munchies, Nom-Nom Celebrity Names, Spicy Slang, Sweet Inspiration, Tasty Tourist Attractions, and Yummy Cartoon Characters. Admittedly, there are some pictures that stumped me!

Reading the book, I literally laughed out loud, which makes me believe it will unequivocally make you smile.

Although this book contains 101 food puns, it’s a quick read guaranteed to cheer you up. It makes a great gift for your cheesy friend or an eye-catching coffee table book.

You can order it from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Books-A-Million, and other bookstores.
