Reading a cookbook--because people raved about it?

Cravings
by Chrissy Teigen

I was prepared for this--I knew it would be nothing more than recipes with amusing headnotes--so I wasn't disappointed. But I wasn't prepared to actually want to cook a few of them.  So I won't rate the book until I've tried.

The notes were indeed amusing, but not "worth the price of the book" as Jennifer Reese used to say. Neither were the endless shots of the author/model/cook's enormous cleavage. The line between food porn and fashion mag was muddied somewhat...at first I just chuckled at the photos and turned on to the next recipe, but after a while I started to laugh. I imagined the instructions the photographers might be giving her....go, baby! Really lean into this one! Love those spicy melons!

No matter. With assets like that, who needs to cook?  But from reading the recipes, I think she really can. We shall see.
