Hands down my favorite cookbook is #cravingscookbook by the wonderful Chrissy Teigen. On the right are two of my favorite recipes: King's Hawaiian BLPTS and pot pie soup. I die. Get this book and do a full Julie & Julia with it like I'm doing.

Should I read this?

Reading Cravings: Hungry for More feels like sitting at a friend's crowded kitchen table: big-flavor recipes land alongside gossipy anecdotes and punchy one-liners. What works best is approachable, indulgent recipes that aim for party-ready comfort food rather than culinary rigor. The main limitation is that narrative asides and glossy banter sometimes interrupt practical details, and measurements can feel casual—so cooks who want step-by-step technique or strict nutrition guidance may find it frustrating.

Read this if...

  • a parent planning weekend sports-team dinners or a holiday spread who needs forgiving, crowd-pleasing dishes that can be prepped quickly and still feel celebratory — fits now if you’re short on time but want showy, comfort-food wins for mixed-age guests
  • a teacher organizing classroom parties or staff potlucks who has limited prep space and equipment and wants simple, transportable recipes that travel well — fits now during term time when you need low-fuss, high-appeal dishes
  • a startup founder hosting informal investor or team gatherings on a tight schedule who wants bold, party-style recipes that scale without professional tools or exact technique — fits now if you’re throwing casual office events and want memorable food without hiring caterers

Skip this if...

  • you want technical, technique-first instruction with strict timings — you'll likely put the book down when anecdotes repeatedly interrupt recipes and practical details feel skimmed
  • you follow a health-first, low-calorie, or highly restricted diet; many recipes lean rich and indulgent rather than diet-oriented
  • you prefer lean, no-frills cookbooks with minimal author voice — the chatty tone and repeated personal asides can feel repetitive or distracting

Accidental Presidents
Try This Instead

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.

Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.
