Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat: A Cookbook by Adeena Sussman, Chrissy Teigen

4.0

As an admittedly huge fan of John Legend, and by extension, his lovely wife, I was really excited about this. But it was even better than expected because the recipes are written with funny honesty (like when she tells you straight up that most of the vegetables and tuna are better from a can or frozen for the sake of the recipes). I also like how the recipes are super easy and all of them have accompanying pictures. That's my biggest cookbook pet peeve - not having pictures. But these photos are even better, because they show the food as well as the glamorous lives of Chrissy, John, and their cute pup. Another highlight of this book is that even though these recipes are not supposed to be healthy, and they're specifically for when she is not dieting for Sports Illustrated, most of them could easily be prepared in a healthier manner with substitutions that I usually have readily available.
