Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat by Chrissy Teigen
Sports Illustrated cover model, television host, and full-time foodie Chrissy Teigen presents her long-awaited debut cookbook, with nearly 100 delicious recipes for all the food she truly craves
“If you’re expecting a model to write a cookbook full of diet recipes for you to perfect your bikini bod, I think you’ll be a little surprised here. These are recipes we love to indulge in with family and friends. Some more hearty than others, some even more hearty than the hearty ones. But every single recipe is something we love.
Look, I don’t want to be one of those dead-inside laughing-with-a-salad chicks, and I don’t want to seem like one of those annoying “I can eat anything I want anytime” chicks. It’s just that I wanted to be honest in this book about the kinds of food I love, the kinds of food I crave. I just have to find ways to make those cravings work with my day job (e.g., sometimes with a well-timed “f*ck it”).
—From the Introduction
For years, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Chrissy Teigen has been collecting, cooking, and Instagramming her favorite recipes. Named one of Yahoo Food’s Five Food People of the Year in 2015, Chrissy is so much more than simply a model who likes to cook. Her fans love her for her mouth-watering recipes and the trademark wit that accompanies her triumphs—and her failures—in the kitchen. In her highly anticipated debut cookbook, Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; February 23, 2016; $29.99; Hardcover), she finally presents her all-time favorites, ranging from breakfast all day to John’s famous fried chicken with spicy honey butter to her mom’s Thai classics. Recipes featured in Cravings range from simple to slightly more involved, including:
- BREAKFAST ALL DAY: Buttery Dutch Baby Pancake; Crab Cakes Benedict; French Toast Casserole with Salted Frosted Flakes; Pull-Apart Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
- SOUPMASTER: Pot Pie Soup with Crust Crackers; Vegetable Tortilla Stew; Split Pea Soup with Crispy Hot Dogs
- SALADS (FOR WHEN YOU NEED THEM): Sriracha Caesar Salad; Caprese Salad with Crispy Prosciutto; Butter Lettuce with Blue Cheese and Cayenne-Candied Walnuts
- NOODLES AND CARBS: Lemony Arugula Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe; Pepper’s Scalloped Potatoes; Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Cornbread; Sweet and Salty Coconut Rice
- THAI MOM: Thai Papaya Salad; Pepper’s Pork-Stuffed Cucumber Soup; Grilled Garlic-Soy Shrimp with Pepper’s Hot Green Pepper Sauce
- PARTY TIME: Stretchy Artichoke, Spinach, and Buffalo Chicken Dip; John’s Fried Chicken Wings with Honey Butter; Steak Bites with Blue Cheese Butter; Roasted Jalapeño and Chorizo Queso
- VEGETABLE THINGS: Cauliflower Mash with Roasted Garlic and Ricotta; Mexican Street Corn; Parmesan-Breaded Zucchini Fries
- THINGS THAT INTIMIDATE PEOPLE BUT SHOULDN’T: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage; Perfect Seared Scallops with Warm Corn Salad; Sweet Chili and Mustard-Glazed Salmon Fillets
- SUPPER: Chipotle-Honey Chicken with Mango-Avocado Salsa; Literally Stovetop Pork Chops; Pineapple-Grilled Short Ribs; Zucchini “Lasagna” Bolognese; Cheesy Jalapeño Tuna Casserole
Salty, spicy, saucy, and fun as sin (that’s the food, but that’s Chrissy, too), the dishes in Cravings 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.
