5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is amazing!! Delicious, indulgent comfort food.
ByMegan H.on January 23, 2018
I got this book for Christmas, along with 6 others. I was a little skeptical since it’s a celebrity cookbook. A month later, I am reaching for this book almost exclusively over my other new ones. Everything I’ve made has hit it out of the park. I’ve cooked 15 things in here so far. These are truly delicious recipes. I’m a very experienced home cook, but even for those with less experience, these recipes are manageable. I laughed a bit at some of the modelesque photos of Chrissy (not that she doesn’t look amazing) because I rarely see that in a cookbook. At least the ones I own. The food photography is gorgeous. I’m wondering how she maintains her figure if she eats like this very often. The recipes aren’t healthy by any stretch, but I think that is fairly clear in the book description. Know this isn’t a diet book. It’s called “Cravings” for a reason! On the negative side, some of the ingredients in the Thai section may be hard to find if you live in a smaller area. The ingredient lists are fairly long, and I feel like the recipes take a bit longer to prepare than the recipe states, so just know that. Might not be what you reach for if you want a quick weeknight meal. There are no dessert recipes in this book, which is kind of a bummer. The print is very small, but that’s just nitpicking.
Try the biscuits and gravy recipe! There isn’t much new to be brought to biscuits and gravy, but her maple cream takes it to a whole other level. I had never heard of or tasted Pad Grapow, but I made it last night. So good! I love being introduced to new things. I feel like many of the recipes in here are things most people will have tried in some iteration, myself included. In my case however, most of the things in the Thai section are new to me, and I can’t wait to try everything in it! Thanks for introducing Sambal Olek into my life Chrissy! Yum.
This book was the one I was least excited to use out of the ones I received for Christmas, but it’s the one I like the most! I really do love this book. Would recommend to anyone, or buy as a gift for someone else! This book exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
I hope she comes out with another book, and I would love a dessert section.

3.0 out of 5 starsRequires lots of ingredients
ByJenna Potterson March 6, 2018
The recipes look super yummy but there are A LOT of ingredients to buy for each meal so beware I was not prepared for this...I thought it would be recipes for moms (kinda assumed BC she is fairly new mom so my bad lol) but wanted others to know 😁🤪

Every single thing my wife has made from this cookbook has been a huge hit with our family. Huge. The humorous anecdotes and descriptions add just the right amount of spice to make it a really fun read, too. Seriously, don’t discount this because a celebrity wrote it. Chrissy has mad skills in the kitchen. Buy the book. Cook the food. Be full and happy.

Love this book, and have cooked more than a few of the recipes. While most tend to be a little heavy, it's easy to work them into a healthy diet, and some of my favorites are soups, such as a delicious mushroom soup with no cream at all--well, I cut back on the butter. OTOH, the prosciutto wrapped chicken breasts are worth dieting most of the week in order to work them in!
One quarrel with Chrissie--she says that hash brown potatoes MUST be grated, because the diced ones are really "home fries." I grew up with hash a frequent leftover from Sunday pot roast. Every single ingredient in hash was diced small and the whole melange browned in a skillet. A review of hash recipes now shows the same treatment, so diced potatoes would absolutely be the way one would expect to find them in hash, particularly if they were leftover cooked potatoes. Apparently diced and fried "hash browns" were first served in restaurants in the late 1880s--usually shaped into patties. My mom's "home fried potatoes" were raw sliced with lots of sliced onion and sometimes cooked in bacon fat, as were those served in the homes of my friends during the 50s and 60s. Those were very good, but took a while to cook. I never saw a grated potato referred to as a hash brown until maybe the mid1970s, although I've just read that frozen grated potatoes first appeared in 1956. Don't get me wrong--we prefer grated hash browns for breakfast in my house, but I suspect their presence was a result of restaurants and diners looking for a faster cooking format.

Recipes are delicious, easy to follow with no long-list of ingredients needed. I especially liked the section of Thai inspired dishes.
ByTessa L.on July 18, 2018
Seriously, even if you don't cook just buy the book. Every story in this book is hilarious and the recipes look SO GOOD. I love that there's a whole Thai section and one with recipes for "intimidating food". The only downside is that there's no dessert section but hopefully her next book will have one!
ByPatricia M. Dixonon July 17, 2018
I love a good cookbook and this cookbook is a gem! Beautiful photos, funny captions, I can’t wait to try them all. I have Chrissy’s next cookbook preordered.
ByCarringtonon July 12, 2018
Super fun, easy, delicious recipes. Love Chrissys commentary for each recipe. Shes hilarious!
ByLeahr23on July 6, 2018
I admit it, I ordered the book a little biased. I love Chrissy, and she loves food. However loving food doesn't mean you can cook. After some debating I got the book. I have tons of cookbooks. Everytime I get a new cookbook I read it cover to cover like a story. I have to say first off I was so impressed. The recipes are not complicated, they don't require 50 ingredients you can only find in 12 different specialty stores. The recipes are simple and straight forward. The directions clear. The pictures, are exactly what you want out of a cookbook. They make you hungry and want to cook. That's exactly what I did! I have made a few recipes and so far everything is ass delicious as you would think. My only critique is I wish there were some desserts. I love sugar even thou it doesn't love me. I get it thou, I can't bake either so why put in baking recipies if you can't bake. If you love food and cooking buy it. The food is delicious, the book is fun to read. I am very happy with my purchase. Pre-ording her second cookbook. Can't wait!
