It is no secret that Chrissy Teigen loves food. besides her family and roasting Donald Trump at every opportunity, it seems to be at the top of the list of favorite things. And now, two cookbooks, months of recipe testing and a cooking ware line at Target, she is the real mastermind behind her website, Cravings By Chrissy Teigen.
Wile Introducing the website in a video with John Legend and their two kids Luna and Miles, Teigen says, “I always wanted to do a website with a true community of people that love Cravings; love the cookbooks, love the cooking ware… a place where you could see everything. We wanted to share everything in one little spot for you guys.”
“Don’t worry, I made sure everything is good but not too perfect (because let’s be honest sometimes tasty = messy!!),” reads the website’s home page. In one video for Strawberry Shortcake, Teigen drops and breaks a jar of sugar before dissolving into a fit of laughter. So yep, expect plenty of her trademark authenticity and sense of humor.
In addition to recipe tutorials, the site offers in-depth travel/cooking videos as well as many behind-the-scenes peeks into the lives of the Teigen/Legend family. There’s also a section called Hot Takes, which features a gallery of Teigen’s family photos along with this brief explainer: “If someone were to hack my phone, this would be all the things they’d find.”
“We’ve got recipes! Tips! Videos! Answers to those burning hot Twitter questions! And a lot more…” the site promises. Videos already up on the site include ‘Meatballs with John,’ ‘Truffle Hunting in Tuscany’, and ‘Chrissy’s Favourite Cookbooks.’ There’s also a slew of recipes—from carb-free Celery Root Lasagna to 3-Cheese Lobster Artichoke Dip to Buttery Adobo Chicken—as well as an ‘Ask’ page that corrals Teigen’s replies to cooking questions submitted by readers. The question so far ranges from where she and Legend like to go on date nights in LA to what her pantry must-haves are to how to get your hands rid of the smell of garlic. Unsurprisingly, the website crashed within hours of its launch. Not to worry, though. Chrissy’s on it.
