Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat

Funny and snarky but easy and delicious recipes!

I've never thought to or wanted to count a cookbook as a book read on GR but I am literally read every single page in this amazing cookbook. Well worth the actual read. Chrissy comes through on every page! I took my time and read through each recipe. Her little paragraphs at the beginning of each recipe are just classic Teigen. lol. My first recipes from the book were Perfect Seared Scallops with Warm Corn Salad and Sour Cream and Broccoli Potato Cakes. It all took a bit longer than I had anticipated and the broccoli needed more time to cook to become mashable so I ended up throwing it, along with the potatoes and sour cream (and other ingredients for the cakes) into my Nutribullet for a quick mix. Worked well. I did not have the frozen corn I thought I did (I ALWAYS have frozen corn...grr!) so it was a warm pea salad. lol. Luckily we both like peas. But all in all, very delicious! The scallops were the shining star. Then I made Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup which was deliciously flavorful due to the rotisserie chicken. The only other flavorings were the thyme, salt, and pepper! I skipped the bay leaf. I made the Crab Cakes Benedict and Bacon Hash Browns (pictured) and was so pleased with how they turned out! My first time poaching eggs too! My favorite meal so far but the Chinese Chicken Salad is a very close second, we ended up putting it in a tortilla wrap and damn, such a good idea! The Buttery Glazed Beans were too sweet and buttery for us. I like my veggies to taste like veggies, not sugar. My next recipes will be the King's Hawaiian BLPTs and the Vegetarian Tortilla Stew. Really love this cookbook and once I've exhausted these recipes, I will be buying the second one! I can't recommend this book enough! Read more
