My boyfriend has liked Chrissy Teigen for a while, and I kind of assumed it was just for the obvious reasons: she's gorgeous and voluptuous. But when I saw an article about her cookbook, it actually sounded pretty good. I was puzzled by the negative reactions to a swimsuit model making a cookbook because I believe her when she says she loves to eat. She seems like a sincere person, so I decided to try out her cookbook. I am happy I did because it is full of fun pictures, funny introductions, and varied recipes that could become regulars.
I really liked the salad section, because I've been wanting to try some simple homemade dressings and didn't know where to start. Likewise, I have had a "craving" for biscuits and gravy for a while, and a simple and delicious recipe for this is included, along with some other breakfasts that sound good but are not over the top. Most recipes called for things I actually have on hand, unlike some cookbooks that expect you to have an unlimited budget and a fish monger, cheesemaker, herb garden, and a baker all next door. I think I can actually cook the recipes in this cookbook, and I'm confident some will become favorites.
I received a review copy of Cravings from Blogging for Books, but my opinion is always my own!
