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.
Definitely dessert!!
Depends! Lately I’ve wanted savory much more though.
Yummy Dessert!
Dessert. No question!
It would depend upon what’s on the dessert menu.
Dessert, for sure.
Dessert! I always flip to the dessert section first in menus and cookbooks!
Can’t wait to read it and LOVE your site!!
Oh and i would rather order dessert….yum!@
Dessert!. Always dessert! I would even order dessert twice instead of having a savory course.
I think it would definitely depend on what was on the dessert menu.
Savory all the way!! I’m a sucker for a s’more or a chocolate chip cookie, but nothing beats a warm bowl of mac and cheese or perfectly crafted taco. Hands down I would rather a second slice of pizza and skip the dessert. YUM!
Dessert!! 🙂
dessert for sure!!!
If it’s crème brulee it’s on or if you must force me I suppose I could have more pasta…yes please?
Must I choose? I want both the extra pasta and then a bite of dessert 🙂
I can’t imagine a life without dessert!
I would order dessert as my main course, appetizer, side, and dessert if I could. Sugar addiction…
It’s a shame that the winner has to live in the U.K… I live in the Netherlands and I love to read your blog, but I don’t make a change to win this awesome cookbook .
I’m still going to answer the question, just because I like you so much.
Definitely dessert! Owh, I love dessert!
thanks Brenda!! It’s just that the publisher fulfilling the shipping requested it be US residence only
Dessert, always and forever. I’m also dying to read Chrissy’s cookbook! xx
Savory, but with one bite of sweet after.
Depends on how delicious the desserts sound but usually another course!
Dessert of course! 😀
I would order dessert! Especially if double chocolate brownie sundaes are on the menu!!
Savory dish-with sweet notes ie glazed baby carrots.
Def dessert!
Definitely savory. Bring on the salty, crispy any day!
Ive always said I’d rather order an order of nachos for dessert than an actual dessert!
Definitely another savory dish! Go home and bake cookies
If I say dessert, does that keep me from winning? P.s. Your brownie recipe from the slutty brownie recipe was amaze-balls.
DESSERT! DESSERT! DESSERT!
I would definitely choose dessert! Or maybe both. 🙂
Dessert!!! 🙂
Gotta go with dessert Bc I’m a sweets fanatic! ❤️
Savory all the way… I would much rather have another fajita instead of chocolate cake
Hey Hey!! Guess what? You won! Shoot me an email at gaby (at) whatsgabycooking (dot) com and I can ship you the cookbook! xxoo
I would definitely order dessert.
I would order dessert.
Dessert for sure!!
Well this is a great question and I think you should add it to your game show list of questions. Hmmmmmm…dessert. unless the dessert menu is weak. Now I want to look at th ed dessert menu first lol. Thanks Gaby!
OMG SMART! added 🙂
Dessert for the win!
Dessert, especially if it’s “Cheat Meal” Day! Lol
Savory!!!! I could live on appetizers/small plates.
Totally another savory!! Or dessert first!
Another savory course! If my husband wasn’t deployed in Afghanistan he would same another savory course too. One of my time/mind occupying missions while he is gone is to learn how to cook. I could use a recommended cook book!
^^proof reading should be another mind occupying mission!
Woww i would definitly order another appetizer unstead of dessert! Cant get enough of them!
dessert!!!! unless we’re talking about pasta.
Savory! For sure! How about another round of bread rolls? It’s a good way to start a meal and it’s an even better way to end it!
Can’t I just have both?? If I must choose, it would have to be dessert. My sweet tooth is too strong!
Dessert!!!!
Definitely dessert!
