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.

Hi Gaby – I have to go with dessert (and wine) to finish off every meal. My friends and I LOVE your ideas and food style, I would die to win one of your giveaways!
Another entree because I can eat!!!!!
Another Savory Main for the win!
Dessert…or maybe both! Dessert pasta??!!
Oh boy, definitely dessert. Bring on the cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I’d be a happy camper for sure.
Definitely dessert!!
ALWAYS been a savory kinda girl…dessert is for all the times in between HA!
Definitely a dessert! Gotta satisfy that sweet tooth of mine 😉
Dessert! Always dessert 🙂
I used to be a major dessert person, but I’ve grown to love savory foods much more in the last few years. Bring on a second entree!
All my life, my answer would have been to order another savory dish! Once a server at an Italian restaurant, in Seattle, brought me out 3 more raviolis for dessert, he got a big tip! However, since having my baby, 8 months ago, I have developed an insane sweet tooth. Dessert, always dessert.
I would definitely savor the meal
dessert. give me that chocolate.
It depends, but I’m usually more of a savory type person!
Dessert if there is a super chocolate-y option, otherwise bring on more pasta!
Gotta have my Dessert after a savory meal 😉
Thanks Gabby I just got your Absolutely Avocados Book yesterday!! I love it!!
Love all things savory!!
savory…no sweet…no savory…BOTH please! 🙂
I love me some Chrissy Teigen! I have to say I would go for dessert, my sweet tooth is crazy. Currently munching on some Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that I had to make after Friday’s snaps 🙂
I always need something sweet!
Savory – especially if it’s mexican food! Thanks for fun posts, gorg photos, and delish meals Gabby.
Dessert, please! LOVE your snaps!
Savory all the way!
I would order both! Duh- Because YOLO!
I’m a chocolate fiend so if there is a chocolate dessert I’ll have that every time, otherwise pass the bread basket or more dinner
Oh dessert, all the way. Can that just be dinner instead? Thanks Gaby!
I’d rather order dessert! But sometimes another savory main course 🙂
I would almost always prefer a 2nd savory course! Nachos for dessert! I’ve been following Chrissy on Instagram as she’s shot this cookbook. I can’t wait to get this!
Umm.. Both?!
Savory (**cough, CHEESE!!!, cough**)
Def. a dessert! Sometimes (shhhh) I skip dinner and have dessert instead! I’m pretty sure my teeth would have fallen out when I was 10 if I didn’t take great care of them. I have so much sugar running through my veins…..it’s insane! (Yes I meant to rhyme) lol 😉
Dessert of course!
Savory all the way!
I love to cook (and love when someone else bakes for me) – Entree for me!
DESSERT ALL THE WAY!!!
I’d take a cheese plate over dessert any day!
Dessert, because I’m always on a diet!
While I love a sweet bite here and there……a 2nd savory entree FOR SURE.
Hey Hey!! Guess what? You won! Shoot me an email at gaby (at) whatsgabycooking (dot) com and I can ship you the cookbook! xxoo
Definitely a dessert!

We always order an extra entrée just in case. So I would order dessert =)
Definitely a savory dish!! Unless it’s gummies… Then I would love the sweet stuff 🙂
Dessert fer sur!
Sweet dessert -no doubr –sugar, sugar
Definitely savory, especially if it’s pasta!
Nothing beats a perfectly al dente pasta dish, Gabby – even slutty brownies.
Definitely savory!
Dessert of course!
DESSERT! All day, every day
100% another savory course!
I would much rather go savory!
