SAN FRANCISCO--()--Williams Sonoma, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM) portfolio of brands announced today a new and exclusive food collaboration with Trisha Yearwood, the country star, television host, and three-time New York Times bestselling cookbook author whose home and lifestyle empire continues to grow.

The Williams Sonoma and Trisha’s Kitchen collaboration features five food products that bring Trisha’s cherished family recipes to life. Trisha’s Biscuit Mix takes its inspiration from her father’s homemade buttermilk biscuits, while Trisha’s Summer in a Cup cocktail mix re-creates a breezy drink invented by a dear friend, on a hot summer day at her home in Oklahoma.

“Trisha has been a loyal customer of Williams Sonoma for years and we are in awe of all of her many talents,” said Janet Hayes, President of Williams Sonoma. “A food collaboration between Williams Sonoma and Trisha Yearwood is a dream come true for all parties involved.”

“Williams Sonoma has always been my ‘happy place’ and I’ve wanted to be a part of their team forever! When I host a party, I focus on the people, not the necessarily the planning,” said Trisha Yearwood. “I am so excited to partner with one of my favorite stores with a line that helps make entertaining easy and fun. I hope to help give home cooks the confidence to invite everyone over this summer!”
