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.

I’d order another savory entree!
Dessert!
Definitely dessert.
Dessert for sure!
Love all pastas & desserts, especially anything chocolate! I think I’d have to go with dessert! 😉
I wish I could agree with you and Chrissy, but I love dessert too much. Sometimes I will look over the entire menu to create a meal that will lead to a fantastic dessert.
While savory is enjoyable, it’s dessert every time for me!
Love savory…but it’s got to be followed by dessert!
Dessert! Most of the time.
Both!! Because there’s always a second stomach for dessert 😛
Main course for sure!!!!!
Love to own this, dessert would be my fav.
More pasta, Yes please!! 🙂
Dessert! Always dessert.
Hmmm! Difficult choice! Love me some dessert!
Ooo or savory yum savory!
Another main course please
I’d rather make the dessert to share with friends and order the pasta all for myself!!! This book looks amazing and all you snaps this week have been making me hungry!
Savory…or maybe sweet………….or then again both!
Not sure if this posted before, but dessert please!
Savory dish all the way!! Ill have to compromise on dessert sometimes because my boyfriend has the biggest post meal sweet tooth!
Savory, always! Pass the wine and cheese platter.
Looks like a great cookbook!
I would go for something savory, I always want more than one thing when I dine out!
I have such a sweet tooth, so definitely a dessert!!
Savory! Can’t wait to check out her cookbook!
Main course!
Dessert. My motto is always eat dessert first. 😉
Dessert. Did you even have to ask? 😉
I cant choose both!? Ill have to say dessert to round off the meal completely : )
savory main course of course!
I love Christy Tiegen – she is SO sassy!! And those recipes sound awesome!!
Been wanting this book since she announced it!! I enjoy dessert from time to time, but I’d always swing for some extra saltiness instead. Bring on the pizza!
That’s a tough one…. but I’d probably choose some type of chocolate dessert!!
Man, I love this woman. So happy you’re enjoying the cookbook and I cannot wait to get my paws on it! I’m definitely more of a savory person. I always get excited when I see tasting menus where you can choose the courses! Yes please to two appetizers! I’m more of a drink after dinner type of girl 😉
Another savory main dish. Love your recipes. Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE savory food but I always need a little something sweet to finish off my meal…If I’m at a restaurant, I’d rather order another savory dish…Plenty of time to eat sweets at home! (Plus I’m usually too full by the time the dessert menu rolls around anyhow :P)
Yessssssss, duh, salt ALL DAY! Thanks for featuring this, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!!
Definitely dessert – her cookbook looks AWESOME!
I must live under a rock! I didn’t know she was coming out with a cookbook, I love her.
Plus, I’d take savory over sweet all day long…
looks like a cool book! I would probably want more dessert, I’ve got a big sweet tooth!
I’ll take salty over sweet any day! I’m not much of a dessert person actually. This is so exciting you and Chrissy are literally my favorites!!!!
Dessert. Always : D
Dessert every time!
I am a chocoholic so this is a no-brainer. Dessert! Preferably slutty brownies 😉
Unless it’s something with dark chocolate, I’d definitely want more savory!
Give me all the savory dishes!
Savory for me! 🙂
I’d order another savory meal over dessert anytime
im a sweets girl, especially brownies!
