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!

I love to try new cookbooks any chance I get. This one looks amazing.
Dessert! Can’t say no to a special treat once in awhile
Savory all the way! I like sweet treats, but the “savory” in me would win every time….
Another round of pasta please! I mean the cheese plate “dessert” works too though!
Dessert please!
Savory main for suuuure! I love to keep menus after I order so I can peruse all the delicious apps and dishes before we leave the restaurant! And I can’t wait to read Queen Chrissy’s book!
I’ll skip the meal and have the dessert tray please …☺️
Dessert! I love Chrissy!
I love Chrissy! And I would totally order another savoy entree over dessert!
Order another entree…the desserts are always to small and I always having ice cream at home waiting in the fridge 🙂
Awesome Giveaway!
Hmmm, I think I would order another savory entree and then have a bite of hubbies dessert!
Always dessert!
TO MAKE A “YUMMY” DESSERT. TO MAKE MY “TUMMY” HAPPY BEFORE GOING TO BED. 🙂
I’d order desert because I have the absolute worst sweet tooth 🙂
So excited about this cookbook. I’m a dessert girl all the way, unless there’s cheese – that can turn me.
So excited about this book! Another savory entree! All day. I can bake cookies when I get home 🙂
Savory followed by dessert! Yum
Choosing between dessert and another savoury main is easy. I’d rather a carbonara over creme brûlée any day. And it’s not about what’s healthier… bring on the sodium.
I’d have to say dessert!
Dessert!
i would order another main course and then steal a bite of my huband’s dessert–best of both worlds! i love chrissy’s love of food and cooking so much. can’t wait to get my hands on this book!!
Something savory, for sure!
Dessert!
Another savory…definitely!
