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.
Im definitely a savory kind of girl. Ive ordered seconds more than once instead of dessert.
My sweet tooth could let me pass up dessert! 🙂
Dessert!!! But I don’t think anyone ever “still has room for dessert”. You MAKE room! So maybe both a savory entree and a dessert.
Dessert, for sure! Salty & Sweet is always a winning combo for me! YUM-O!
Main course. I love food!:)
Dessert for sure! Could be convinced by some cheesy guac though, dang!
Give me more savory, salty, gooey food over sweet ANY day.
Savory. ALWAYS. Dessert is okay once in awhile, but bring me more tacos, or another basket of bread, or a plate of cheese instead.
Savory Main Course for me! Love love LOVE food!
Would another glass of wine count as dessert?? If so, then I’d definitely say dessert. 🙂
Hey Hey!! Guess what? You won! Shoot me an email at gaby (at) whatsgabycooking (dot) com and I can ship you the cookbook! xxoo
Dessert, no question about it!
I use my kids to do both ! 😉
Another main course!!
Dessert!
Savory for sure! A dessert-ish cheese plate would be ideal xx
Dessert always! And then eat main course leftovers for a midnight snack 😉
Dessert!!!!
that’s a tough one but if the main course was good enough I’ve probably had enough of savory and would go with dessert!
I would rather order an extra entree if the entee is a pasta dish, all day every day.
It’s hard to pass up a second main course, but I have the biggest sweet tooth. Dessert for me!
dessert always! unless it’s italian, then all bets are off and senconds is the way to go.
Dessert! Dessert! My weakness! Can’t wait to read through cravings!!!
oh, definitely a dessert!!! i love having a treat 🙂
Totally depends…if sticky toffee pudding is on the menu then dessert! Otherwise, I’ll polish off the rest of the breadsticks/rolls on the table.
Definitely dessert!
Dessert! Life is too short not to enjoy dessert!
I’d go full on gluttony mode and get dessert AND extra pasta dish. I have no shame with leftovers. 🙂
Dessert! I’ve had a sweet tooth since I was a kid! Love anything involving peanut butter and dark chocolate!
Definitely dessert! Could never pass that up. 🙂
I could never pass up dessert, personally because I make dessert and sell it and run my own business, therefore; dessert is always a big big part of a meal in my home! I’m always making all kinds of desserts, and they’re all my favorite, it’s like the best part of the meal.
I would say dessert!!! Anything with white chocolate and I’m usually in!!!
Dessert or savory dish – all about the details of the menu!! If the desserts offer some salty and sweet options then I order a dessert as the final option. If there’s so many savory dishes to try I’m definitely skipping dessert to overindulge in one more item!
Oh gosh, it totally depends on what the dessert choices are… If we’re talking crepe cake or brownies a la mode or banana pudding, then Dessert for sure.
I always have space for desdert!!
Dessert, for SURE!
Savory all the way!
I agree with you, it kind of depends on what’s on the dessert menu but usually it would be another dish! Especially since I usually read a menu and have three or four things I want to try! Thanks for hosting a giveaway, I love your blog!
SAVORY all the wayyyy!!!!! Congrats Chrissy
Desserts are the way to my ❤️
Love love your blog Gaby! And I would have to agree – I would be more likely to order an extra pasta or pizza than save room for dessert. Unless there is gelato or ice cream involved!
Love savory main course.
I would totally do savory…now I’m hungry!
Team SAVORY!!!! Congrats Chrissy – Can’t wait to get my paws on one
I like to think of myself as a dessert person, but when it comes down to it, I think I’m definitely more into savory food! I would rather just eat multiple plates of pasta or pizza or ANYTHING than have one slice of cheesecake.
I am all for dessert! I will definitely be that person ordering multiple desserts just to try them all 🙂
Most definitely dessert!
Dessert!!
Definitely a savory main course!! Savory vs. sweet all dayyyyy
Totally depends on the day! But I do love a good dessert!
I would like another savory course in replacement of dessert course. I hope I win this book
