Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook Cravings 2 is one of my fave books to cook with to date. She is witty and all of the recipes are super to easy follow, also the food is delicious. Today I am sharing my top three favorite recipes from her new book. Even though she wasn’t literally in my kitchen, her recipes and suggestions have totally influenced my cooking style.
Check out my top three dishes below!
Thai Grilled Chilli Wings
These wings are sweet and spicy, so so good! The trick for these wings is to marinate them for 24 hours to get their amazing flavor. Also, I preferred to add in extra peppers into these wings.
Garlic & Honey Shrimp
These shrimp are spicy, sweet, and the garlic totally makes is scrumptious. Also, I used basmati rice as the grain for the dish, and it turned out delicious. The sauce is key for the dish, I added in extra ginger too!
Scallop Linguine
I absolutely love this dish, and I rarely make pasta at all, but this dish was a star. The casino breadcrumb recipe was amazing and really elevated this meal.
Have you cooked from Chrissy’s cookbooks? What recipes are your fave? Also, do you prefer Cravings or Cravings 2, my personal fave is the latter!

“I always get to eat what I want because if I don't, I go insane.” - Chrissy Teigen
You all know I love a super quick meal to make at home during the work week! A delicious flatbread paired with an arugula salad are my go to dinner items, especially after a super long day.
I’ve been eliminating a lot of meat out of my diet, and this caprese flatbread is so insanely yummy, and super feeling. This meal takes less than 20 minutes to make, and you only need a few ingredients.
