Chrissy TeigenReseñas

It's a cookbook written like Chrissy is sitting crosslegged on your kitchen island (in her bathrobe, of course). Delicious recipes that are approachable and a delight to read.

I borrowed this from the library. After flipping through pretty pictures I haven't come across a recipe that was excited to try so I returned it. I just saw many good reviews maybe I'll give it another shot.

First Cooking Book that I read that did not manage to make hungry and everything makes me hungry.

Chrissy Teigen wasn't really on my radar before this cookbook (other than being John Legend's wife), but you can bet she is now. She is hilarious and really real. And she totally knows good food. I've tried several recipes from this book that were delicious, but I would've bought it for the Chipotle-Honey Chicken alone.

This girl. And her Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes. Just go get this cookbook. You're welcome.

Anybody else love reading cook books or is it just me?

With great enthusiasm, and much love of subject, multi-media star Chrissy Teigen and food writer Adeena Sussman have delivered “Cravings: Recipes for What You Want to Eat” into the hands of the hungry public. For Teigen, it’s all about flavor—full-throttle flavor—salty, peppery, spicy, eat-with-heat flavor. Thai foods from Teigen’s own heritage are interspersed with a variety of dishes, including recipes from her husband, singer John Legend. Keeping Teigen’s super-model figure in super-style means keeping her kitchen wits about her and also keeping her sense of humor. The food is good, definitely not boring—how could it be with Teigen’s personality infused throughout the pages? You know that feeling when you want something to eat, something good, but you just can’t figure out what you really want? You might find exactly the right taste you’re seeking in “Cravings”. Here’s a sampler of recipes: “Spicy Tomato Skillet Eggs with Prosciutto”; “Pot Pie Soup with Crust Crackers”; “Cobb Salad with Honey-Mustard Ranch Dressing”; “Sesame Chicken Noodles”; “Steak Bites with Melty Blue Cheese Butter”; “Shrimp Summer Rolls”; “Buttery Glazed Green Beans”; “Mexican Street Corn”; ‘Zucchini Fries”; “Herby, Lemony, Spicy, Garlicky Roasted Whole Fish”; “John’s Marinated Steaks”; and “Dad’s Fried Fish Sandwich with Coleslaw and Tartar Sauce”. If your cravings tend toward the sweeter side of life—sorry, there’s no dessert section in this book. Teigen loves to cook, but says she can’t bake, and after all, she is a supermodel who “has to make every bite count”. Visit her on the web at “So Delushious”.

Ten stars for a cookbook if I could give them, and I'll never really be done with this book until all the recipes have been tried! I'm on a Facebook group called The Tasting Table Cookbook and they suggest a different cookbook every month, this one I've tried 3 recipes from already and love every one! Wait until you try the Shake and Bake Chicken with Hot Honey!! To die for.

One day I'll actually cook recipes from cookbooks, but today is not that day. Instead, I'll continue reading them straight, as I really appreciate those with a sense of humor and personality sprinkled amongst the food, and Cravings has that in spades. Though definitely written with [a:Adeena Sussman|553059|Adeena Sussman|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] for recipe ideas, the flavor text introducing the recipes is very much Teigen, and I really appreciate the personal flair as it does sound like what a good friend would say, sharing a recipe. The recipes themselves were easy to follow, and I didn't see any intimidating techniques... I did spy a few things where suggested marinating time could be 12-24 hours but wasn't reflected in prep, which indicated the minimum, but that's a minor quibble.

The photography is excellent.

I also learned via googling an offhand mention to living in Idaho that Chrissy lived in my hometown for a time, so our childhoods may have overlapped!

Containing recipes ranging from American comfort food to Thai, this popular cookbook is for anyone who loves food.

Love.

It's been a while since I've seen a cookbook that's as beautiful as 'Cravings.' In fact, even if the recipes were total crap, I'd still enjoy this simply for the fact that it's such a beautiful book just to look at.

I wouldn't just have been attracted to this book because it was written by a celebrity. Usually, that's good enough reasoning for me NOT to check out something. But after hearing such good things about Cravings, I decided to give it a shot - and I'm truly happy that I did. Whether it's the authentic Thai cuisine recipes, or down home mac-n-cheese, there's something in here for everyone.

And perhaps best of all, they're not difficult recipes.

I'm not someone who wants to head into the kitchen to make dinner and spend the next 2 hours slaving over the stove. Thankfully, apparently neither does Chrissy. These are pretty fast, pretty easy, and pretty tasty - a good recipe in MY cookbook.

What did I think?: If you're looking for a great book of really high quality recipes, this one will take that to the next level by adding in some stunning photography. I wasn't expecting too much, but was thrilled to be able to just flip through the pages of this book.

Who should read it?: Not only do I think this is an excellent choice for both the beginner and expert cooks, I think it would be a great gift too! So get it for yourself, get it for someone else, but at least check it out next time you find yourself suddenly wandering through the cooking section of your favorite bookstore. Plus, FOOD!!!

I love cooking and trying out new recipes and this book satiated my hunger for new dishes. I love the variety of recipes provided along with its ingredients that are very accessible to find and easy to follow instructions on preparing and cooking the meals. Tried one of the recipes and though it didn't quite passed the presentation as shown like the picture it did taste excellent and my husband like it. Can't wait to try out all the other recipes found on this great recipe book, this is a must in every kitchen.
