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.
Grab a copy of it while it’s still available – Cravings by Chrissy Teigen – I’m 100% certain it’s going to sell out ASAP! Or take your chances and enter to win a copy here! I’m giving away 5 copies to 5 lucky winners (must live in the US) and winners will be picked in 1 week! To enter, just leave a comment below letting me know if you’d rather order a dessert or another savory main course in place of dessert! Ready go…
And major congrats to Chrissy! It’s perfection.
dessert kind of girl for sure!
DESSERT!!! All the way. I almost served dessert as the first course at my wedding…because why not?! Well, as it turns out, many reasons, and I was overruled (this time anyway mwahaha!!).
I’m definitely a dessert eater. I love my sweets.
I have a sweet tooth, but there’s never room for dessert after my roommate cooks us all dinner!
Can dessert be named as its own separate mealtime?
I am a huge dessert fan, so I would totally go for the dessert….but it has to be a really good dessert, otherwise pass the chips and guac/savory food
Probably another entree, because I always have trouble deciding which one!
Savory
Savory for sure!
Definitely dessert!
I love to order dessert to take home, or stop somewhere after dinner! I fill up on delicious, savory dinner and also have something sweet to end the night with later on. Best of both worlds!
I’ve got the biggest sweet tooth! I always have space for some dessert but not for another main course
Dessert for sure!! I think I’ll go eat a cupcake now
I would prefer another savory meal over dessert 😉
Another savory dish, please! Then just a square of chocolate to finish! 🙂
Hands down dessert!
Dessert for sure! I love my sweets! P.S. I love Chrissy Teigen! She’s hilarious and fingers, toes and everything crossed that I win it, if not, I will snatch this book right up! P.S.S. Your excitement over this book got me super stoked!! Thanks!
I’m sweet enough…give me more French fries and pasta!
Always another savory main course 🙂 I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but wow do I love spicy and salty.
Would definitely order another pasta dish instead of dessert! Savory always. 🙂
I’m definatly a ice cream girl!
Dessert! Always.
Main course through and through. I’m definitely more of a salty than savory kind of person. Give me chips and guac / salsa over a cookie any day. I follow Chrissy on instagram and find you both equally entertaining. Love your snapchat / snapisodes!
I have to have a dessert! I just had sourdough bread ice cream and it was amazing!
Definitely a dessert
I’d absolutely love another savory course. Let’s be honest, probably an appetizer or an entire meal of just appetizers!!
Without a second thought, savory all the way!!
My dessert would be a big hunk of warm, (warm is a must!) crusty French or any Artisanal bread. Soft, airy and a tad chewy on the inside with a big, Big , slab of real butter slathered over the whole thing with a glass (bottle ) of California Merlot.. Mmmm mmm MMM y’all
Dessert!
Much prefer to eat my carbs in a savory dish. Bread, pasta, guac, tacos, pizza, burritos, repeat.
Dessert, for sure! Glad to hear the cookbook is good. Chrissy seems like a fun person.
Definitely dessert! A great meal should always end with something sweet!!
Dessert of course! and it must be chocolate.
Dessert all the way!! Can’t pass up something sweet and delicious!
Main course through and through. I’m definitely more of a salty than savory kind of person. Give me chips and guac / salsa over a cookie any day. I follow Chrissy on instagram and find you both equally entertaining. Love your snapchat / snapisodes!
Always dessert!!!
I’d most likely order another entree, especially if it is pasta. I can’t pass up really good pasta. And ask if I could get dessert to go.
100% savory dish instead on dessert! I definitely have a salty tooth over sweet. Gaby- I would absolutely DIE to win this because you and Chrissy are my two foodie role models! 🙂
Main course definitely beats dessert! Bring me round 2!
Savory dishes get me every time. Thanks for the chance to win!
It depends on my mood but often times I’d rather have something savory!! Like a cheese plate… 😉
Love Chrissy so really hope I win!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Dessert please!
2nd main course. every. time.
I’m voting a savory spicy dish! Love cookbooks.
Savory!! Especially if it means tapas at dinner! So excited for this cookbook!
I’m definitely known to skip dessert and grub on some more main courses! More salt less sugar for this gal 😉
Tough question since I am currently on a dessert streak but usually I think I would go for another savory main course option (especially if it’s pasta!!!). I always have a hard time deciding between main courses, so that would be the perfect solution for me! 🙂
So excited for Chrissy’s book to finally be out! I can’t wait to read and cook!
Savory main course all day
Savory main course. For sure!!

Another pasta is tempting… but I have to go with dessert!
Dessert!
Can I just have both more pasta AND dessert???????
