Reviews"Even the most celebrity-cookbook-skeptical reader will find it hard not to enjoy this tome from supermodel Chrissy Teigen. With self-deprecating wit and down-to-earth charm, Teigen posits herself as an enthusiastic home cook and passionate eater (with, of course, a day job that has her sampling the world's best restaurants on the regular). Thankfully, she leaves highbrow pretension and health food snobbery to other lifestyle gurus. Indeed, she more closely calls to mind chef-authors Christina Tosi and Dale Talde, with her irreverent attitude and fondness for all things junk-food-y (check out the French toast casserole topped with salted Frosted Flakes or the artichoke, spinach, and buffalo chicken mashup dip). Amid the hybrids and hot sauce are some truly interesting culinary ideas (Stove Top Stuffing-crusted pork chops, charred broccoli with garlic bread crumbs), along with traditional Thai recipes care of her mother Pepper. It's to Teigen's credit that she has fun with the recipes but never makes them sound easier than they are--otherwise it might be very difficult to accept Hawaiian pizza jalapeño poppers from a  Sports Illustrated  Swimsuit Issue cover girl." -- Publisher's Weekly "Chrissy Teigen's Cravings is a cookbook with realistic recipes for people who like it "spicy, salty, sticky, crunchy, juicy, oozy," and if you have some kind of prejudice against supermodels who unabashedly love Taco Bell, there's nothing I can do to help you. It's fun to read, with a recipe for everyone with two eyes, a stomach, and a fork. Frito pie? A chapter called "Sh*t on toast"? Absurd sexy photo shoots with chicken wings? What's not to love? I didn't even mention the bulldogs yet. If there's one thing we can all learn from Teigen, it's not to judge a cookbook by its cover." -- Bon Appetit, "Even the most celebrity-cookbook-skeptical reader will find it hard not to enjoy this tome from supermodel Chrissy Teigen.

As a culmination of everything Teigen has built over the past few years, it's brilliant." - Jezebel   "Cravings... lives up to the hype 100 percent."-- PopSugar    "We love this cookbook. It's full of things we actually want to eat." -- Refinery 29  "[Cravings] is dripping with energy and enthusiasm and, most of all, joy. Do not discount the value of joy. It's far too rare in food writing, and I know professionals who could learn a thing or two about joy from Teigen." -- Epicurious    "Teigen is notoriously funny, and her sense of humor comes through here, as does her self-awareness -- she tackles the issue of credibility early and often, always presenting herself more as a cooking enthusiast than as an expert." -- Eater   "When was the last time you laughed out loud at a cookbook? So long ago you can't remember, which is enough of a reason to give Chrissy Teigen's first book a spin. But it's the recipes that'll keep you coming back." -- Saveur, "Even the most celebrity-cookbook-skeptical reader will find it hard not to enjoy this tome from supermodel Chrissy Teigen.

SynopsisMaybe she's on a photo shoot in Zanzibar. Maybe she's making people laugh on TV. But all Chrissy Teigen really wants to do is talk about dinner. Or breakfast. Lunch gets some love, too. For years, she's been collecting, cooking, and Instagramming her favorite recipes, and here they are: from breakfast all day to John's famous fried chicken with spicy honey butter to her mom's Thai classics. Salty, spicy, saucy, and fun as sin (that's the food, but that's Chrissy, too), these dishes are for family, for date night at home, for party time, and for a few life-sucks moments (salads). You'll learn the importance of chili peppers, the secret to cheesy-cheeseless eggs, and life tips like how to use bacon as a home fragrance, the single best way to wake up in the morning, and how not to overthink men or Brussels sprouts. Because for Chrissy Teigen, cooking, eating, life, and love are one and the same.

  • Chrissy Rocks!

    Going in my expectations were not that high. I was wrong! I love this book. I absolutely recommend it. Talk about flavorful. She definitely loves her some spicy which is no secret. I had to tone it down for my weaker taste buds. Beautiful pictures, easy to follow recipes and ingredients that are not difficult to obtain. Works for me!

  • Real Good Food for Real Appetites!

    Each recipe is savory and satisfying. Quite a variety, spanning all the meals. Each recipe is easy to accomplish and I found a "culinary surprise" ingredient in each of the offerings. A fun book to draw from for celebrating with friends.
