Rush drummer Neil Peart will launch a "cooking department" called Bubba's Bar 'N' Grill on his website on Saturday.

Peart will offer "helpful cooking tips and easy recipes," according to his website.

"I have learned a few things about preparing good simple food that might be worth sharing," Peart says in a statement on his website. "In this space I will assemble and present some of that lore, along with some simple recipes, because it seems a shame that other Bubbas (of any gender and ethnicity) should have to suffer the foolishness of my youth — I was in my forties before I learned to cook anything more complicated than soft-boiled eggs."

The website will include cooking tips like "The One Hour Rule" and "The Queen's Portion" and tips on how to impress women with your cooking (hint: bake them pie).

More information about Bubba's Bar 'N' Grill is available on Peart's website.

Rush could begin the follow-up to 2007's Snakes & Arrows this fall with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Marilyn Manson) at the helm again. Guitarist Alex Lifeson told musicradar.com the band could "be ready to work again" at the end of the summer, but nothing's for sure yet.
