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

3.0

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!
