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.
Savory!!!!!
Savory for sure. LOVE my meat!!!
I absolutely have to have something sweet after every meal! Dessert!
It depends on the dessert offerings! But most likely Dessert!!!
I’ll take another savory appetizer please!
DESSERT AND PASTA!!!
I’ve always been a savory kinda gal. Give me soup over dessert any day of the week!
I’ve completely changed my stance on this in the last couple years, but I’ve become a total sweet freak. I’m now the type who will occasionally be like “ICE CREAM IS MY DINNER.” So yeah, dessert is my homeboy.
DESSERT! All day, every day!
P.S. LOVE her!
Dinner definitely! I love planning & cooking a home cooked meal & enjoying it with my family especially new recipes!
Savory for sure!! Yum. Thanks, Linda
Dessert, especially after a big meal!
I like savory, sooo…I’ll skip dessert and go for 2nds.
Love you and Chrissy but I have to go with dessert!!!
What’s that saying… “There’s always room for dessert”
Yep. I believe it. Dessert for me please!
Savory always!! I’d love to enjoy these recipes 🙂
I just LOVE Chrissy. She was on a recent Top Chef episode too! I didn’t know she went to culinary school either.. WOW… Dessert for me!! The SLUTTY brownie sounds devine!
I rarely leave room for dessert….savory foods all the way!
Another dessert! easy
I’d rather order another pasta and take a dessert home!! I cannot wait to get this!
Definitely dessert! Flourless chocolate cake is my favorite. Thanks for having a giveaway!
definitely dessert
I like to sandwich my dessert. I eat the main course, have dessert, and THEN go back for a little savory to top it off.

It really depends, but if it’s a cheese comfort food paste then savory the main dish. If it’s a awesomely chocolate dish I’m all in.
I always want BOTH!!!!! Craving your gingersnaps ALWAYS
Hi Gabby- savory all the way! Also I wanted to take this chance to let you know that you’re essentially my spirit animal. I am a southern CA girl at heart, and moved to NYC 5 years ago. I used to eat Mexican food regularly (specifically at my neighborhood spot Las Fuentes in the San Fernando Valley) and have essentially cut it out of my diet completely bc there is no real Mexican food in the city- believe me I have tried searching high and low and ended up giving up 3 years ago bc the options were repulsive. A few months later I stumbled across your blog via Instagram and like you, I also consider avocados to be a separate food group in and of its own (even though the cost of avocados are offensive out east). Thank you for all your recipes- I now get to enjoy awesome recipes at home, knowing they will be a guaranteed success- keep em’ coming (along with a fresh cold Modello)!
Usually another savory main course, but if there’s something with a peanut butter / chocolate combo, i usually can’t refuse.
I love a good dessert but it has to be worthy or I’d rather have something savory.
Since I’ve already ordered about four savory dishes. I want that dessert!
Savory… but ideally both 🙂
I will always prefer dessert.
Dinner is never really finished for me unless I have a treat!
I would love a chance to win this cookbook as it has your stamp of approval and, as I have to wait patiently for a cook book from you, this one will have to do in the meantime!
Chocolate anytime of day, multiple times of day.

I’d love to win a copy of her cookbook! I would order a salad.
Looks like such an awesomely fun way to cook and then enjoy!!
Totally asked myself the same question- does she really eat? But I’d love for you to prove me wrong by making me a winner! And I would totally prefer to order a cheese platter and a glass of amontillado sherry instead of dessert! Perfection!
i would rather have a dessert as my main course.. and then a second dessert #dessertfordays
Dinner definitely! I love planning & cooking a home cooked meal & enjoying it with my family! Especially new recipes!
Dessert! Who doesn’t want dessert before dinner!? #chrissyteigen #cravings
I would order a cheese course or salad in a heartbeat over dessert. I would love to win Chrissy’s cookbook! Juliet
Dessert all the way! Especially if there’s marshmallow and chocolate involved.
Definitely dessert!! I have the biggest sweet tooth!
I would love to have dessert!! I love main dishes, but dessert all the way!
Dessert! I read the dessert menu first to determine what I want and then order dinner accordingly.
I would love to order dessert. Finishing the meal with a little sugar is the way to go.
I would order dessert, especially if it were cheesecake or any kind of bread pudding… Treat yo self!
I’m a bit of an odd ball and I will usually look at the desserts first to determine how good they are and then pick my main. I LOVE sweets and it has to be the ending to every meal (even breakfast!) Love your snaps and love Chrissy! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would much rather have another savory dish – if I have space for more pasta (or cheese OR PASTA WITH CHEESE) that’s what I’m going to fill up with! But I do love slutty brownies – I use the same recipe as you only add peanut butter cups as well 🙂
Dessert please with a dollop of extra dessert. Thanks!!
