It’s been a while since I’ve read a cookbook cover to cover. But that all changes today.
I’ve patiently been waiting for Cravings by Chrissy Teigen for MONTHS. Literally, months. And there’s not one ounce of sarcasm in that statement. Ever since I found out she was doing a cookbook I’ve been excited and today’s the big day!
You might be thinking, what’s a super gorgeous model doing writing a cookbook, does she even eat? Well, guess what, news flash… she does! And I’m pretty sure we have the same taste in food! This culinary-school-trained cook is KILLING it in the kitchen and she bring with it some sarcasm, sass, and a whole lot of humor!
The book showed up on my doorstep last week and I kid you not when I tell you that I dropped everything I was doing and read it cover the cover. The recipes are all incredible, the photos make me want to eat everything in sight and the stories that come with each headnote and the intro make me laugh just as much as her tweets and instagrams. If you don’t follow her on either platform, you’re MISSING OUT!
I’m cooking my way through the book this week on snapchat! Last night was the Chinese Chicken Salad and it was ah-mazing! Tonight I’m making the cheesy guacamole because hello, it’s TACO TUESDAY and I wrote a damn book on avocados. It’s my job to try her guac recipe! Last week I made Pepper’s Spicy Clams with Pasta and the Pounded Thai Papaya Salad… everything is incredible. Tomorrow I’m almost 100% certain the tomato soup is happening as word on the street is that it’s life changing and she’s the self proclaimed soup master so I’m basically doing myself a disservice if I don’t make it immediately.
It made up of 10 chapters including Breakfast All Day, Soupmaster, Salads (For When You Need Them), Noodles and Carbs, Thai Mom, Party Time, Sh*t on Toast, Vegetable Things, Things That Intimidate People but Shouldn’t, and Supper. There’s no room for dessert here because as Chrissy would tell you, she’d rather order another pasta! I mean, we’re kinda spirit animals! Unless of course a slutty brownie is on the menu, then I’m ordering that AND another pasta.

And major congrats to Chrissy! It’s perfection.
10000% another entree especially if it’s Mexican or Italian…..or food.
Also, just watched your snap story from today and screamed when I heard that you’re a fellow T-loc. Love knowing that you’re from little old Tucson!
YAY Tucson!!! Where did you go to high school?
Dessert for me!
Um… Both?! I’m a food junkie and the most indecisive person…um…ever (Libra) so I want it all! Then I’ll probably want some more.
Yay!!! I Want it sooooo bad!
Another pasta dish…. duh!
Sweet and savory combo – best of both worlds!
Definitely take one of each especially if it has bananas!
savory entré all the way! I have celiac disease so unfortunately dessert (as awesome as it is) can often be very frustrating for me 🙁
Gaby I cannot tell a lie. I want dessert. Specifically slutty brownies. So you see, I need Chrissy’s AND your cookbook!
Hugs and thanks for being so perky and smiley on snapchat. We really need that during the primaries!
I’m desserts all the way!
GIRL, i always gotta go with dessert!! No question bout it <3.
Definitely dessert!
Definitely dessert. Or two. Unless the calamari was exceptional.
Dessert! All the way!! Maybe two or three!!
DESSERT!!!
I would die if I won this- been looking forward to this cookbook forever!!! I would order a savory dish over dessert (another pizza– yes please???)
Another dessert!
I’d have to say dessert for sure!
Since I nearly already try almost one of everything while eating out, apps, drinks and multiple mains…..I am so full, but obvi always have room for a dessert. So….I would choose dessert! Although I know Chrissy would go with another meal! 🙂
definitely dessert
Absolutely dessert!
There’s always room for more pasta or another slice of pizza!
Dessert since often i am too full for it so dont order it enough normally!
I’m a baker for a living, so definitelyyyyyy dessert! I live for a good slice (or 2) of chocolate cake!!!!
Dessert, duh!
Most definitely more savory! Please please pretty please pick me! With an olive on top!
Dessert…unless it’s pizza. Then pizza, always. Dessert pizza?? Who knows…
Dessert for sure!
Dessert, of course!!! Always so delicious!
I LOVE a good hearty salad! I’ll throw in some sweet toppings like currants or cranberries, add some savory nuts, zesty citrus… Mmm party in a bowl!
Well, to be honest I would order both!! I mean I love savory, but no matter how much you eat there is ALWAYS room for dessert after!
you only live once! 🙂
I would normally say savory but I’m about 8 months pregnant so I’m going to go with dessert these days!!!
Dessert please!
Most definitely a savory meal!
I am allllll about ordering another pasta!!! UMM, HELLO…. PASTA IS DESSERT IN MY HEART <3 Love your Snapchats, Gaby!!
I love love love bread but I would go for dessert and I can’t get enough of it. I also love soup most of the time I choose to indulge on the first couple of courses and never have room for dessert. Which is sad
tonight, definitely dessert!
Dessert all way. Every meal if I could:)
No doubt dessert. Sweets = happiness
Carbs are my favorite food so it’s hard to resist more pasta, but a meal’s not complete without some chocolate so have to say DESSERT!
pesto gnocchi all day everyday!!!
I HAVE to have a dessert! I’m sorry but I can’t live without my sweet sweets! <3
Savory! Anything cheesy or salty or carb-y is all the dessert I need!
Savory! Every now and then I get a sweet craving in a restaurant, but honestly, another round of nachos would work juuuuust fine!
Dessert! There can never be enough
100% I would order a second main course. I have a huge sweet tooth and I love dessert, but if I had the chance to order a second pasta dish I’m obviously doing that!
Yay!! Dessert—anything that involves chocolate obvi!
I don’t know if I’d rather order dessert or something savory BUT I’d rather eat dessert FIRST followed by my something savory. However, if I have to pick one…I would pick dessert!
I would have to choose dessert. Simply because I don’t get a chance to go to a restaurant without my little one very often, and sometimes I just want a sugary, decadent, chocolatey indulgence without having to share 🙂 Especially since I’m expecting a baby and can’t drink :-/
Def dessert!
