Cravings by Chrissy Teigen

Having read the book, I can say that Chrissy Teigen is a foodie with a capital F. She’s been known to spend hours in the kitchen, but she’s also a philanthropist, donating time and money to worthy causes such as Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and a few others.

Her latest cookbook, Cravings, is a hefty tome, with over 90 recipes spanning the culinary gamut. There’s a chapter on carb-loaded foods, a ginormical one on booze, and an equally hefty smattering on oddball topics. The title page is a treasure trove of culinary curios, including a recipe for the most interesting looking burger you’ve ever seen. The best part? The recipe is accompanied by a set of drool-worthy photographs.

The book is a must-have for anyone with a keen interest in food and wine, and a sprinkling of style. Whether you’re a seasoned gourmand or a first-timer to the culinary world, this is sure to be the highlight of your next trip to the library. As a mom of two, I know first-hand that a healthy dose of mom-approved grub can be the best way to ensure that everyone has a good night’s rest. The book even has a couple of recipes for vegans and vegetarians alike, including a riff on the aforementioned burger. This book isn’t cheap, but it will be well worth the investment.
