2 Cookbooks

6 Comments / 2016, Books in Bed, cookbooks / By

I’ve liked all of the Thug Kitchen cookbooks so I was looking forward to Thug Kitchen 101. But, for some reason I had it in my head that this was going to be about fast food or road trip food but it’s not. It’s definitely a “101” style cookbook and I was disappointed. I didn’t see anything that I really needed to make, which is sad since our vegan will be here in a couple of weeks and it’s always nice to have a new dish for her to try. Blah.

And then there is Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings. I’ll admit it, I do follow her on Instagram and LIKE her but I wasn’t especially interested in her cookbook. I didn’t pre-order it and I didn’t even reserve it from the library. If it hadn’t just been sitting on the new arrivals shelf last weekend, I probably wouldn’t have thought to check it out.

Turns out, it’s good. Even though I don’t eat bacon and she loves her some bacon — and I don’t eat seafood or soup and she’s got her fair share of those recipes, too, I found myself saying over and over again that I’d make that. I even, for a minute, was sad that I don’t eat bacon because her garlic bacon sounds pretty darn good to me. In theory. I’d even make it for my bacon lovers but TW says it sounds yukky. She’s weirder than I am, by far.

I might actually want to BUY this cookbook… that’s saying something.

    I bought Cravings. I got it from the library first but then I totes bought it because we kept saying we’d eat all the things and the one recipe we tried turned out well. (It was a soup. Sorry.)

    But I DID tell everyone it was a good cookbook. There was a Facebook post and everything.

    We made the vegetarian tortilla stew. It was tasty. (Well, it was tasty the first time. The second time I forgot I had halved the recipe and added the full amount of rice. It was still tasty but not as good as when you have the proper amount of all the things.)
