Chrissy Teigen’s Most Famous Recipes
Chrissy Teigen is perhaps the most genuine person on Instagram, but our opinion may be biased. The Model, TV show host and cook is so talented in so many things, it’s kind of hard not to love her. Whether it’s singing along to John Legend’s “Headband of the day” videos on her Instagram stories, or it’s making one of her recipes from her cook book ‘Cravings’, she keeps us all thoroughly entertained.
Her book is called Cravings because it’s named after her actual cravings that she had during the pregnancy of her first child. Teigen has also admitted shying away from her cultural roots when she was younger but has grown to adopt more Thai spices in her cooking adventures. One of her biggest inspirations has been her mother, Pepper, featured in the picture above, who is from Thailand.
Here are some of the most loved recipes from her wonderful cookbook!
Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Pie Crust Crackers
This soup version of a popular classic is redefining comfort food. It doesn’t have to be just fried chicken but this pot pie turned soup delight makes it all the more appealing. Plus, the crackers are smooth and buttery and they make it more fun to dunk in soup and slurp away.
Lemony Arugula Spaghetti
