One of my goals for this year was to join or create a cookbook club. What is a cookbook club? It’s a group of friends who come together monthly, cooking from one selected cookbook. I’m looking to learn more about cooking, expand what I eat, and socialize more. What’s Cookin’, a cookbook club, was born.

Anyone who has been on the internet has likely seen Chrissy Teigen talk about food. She talked about food so much that the world called upon her to create a cookbook. Thus Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat was born.

We chose Cravings because of the variety of recipes available and because who doesn’t want to look at photos of Chrissy and John Legend eating amazing food? Plus she’s freaking hilarious and real. Cravings has sections for breakfast (all day, of course), soups, things with vegetables, party foods, and a whole section for foods that seem intimidating but shouldn’t be. Our little group met today and cooked a feast! I made Banana Bundt Bread, a hit recipe she has also shared online.

Our group discussed the cooking process, with most people generally agreeing their recipes were easier than expected (except for the scalloped potatoes, which were delicious but time intensive). I loved the Salted Frosted Flake French Toast and Sweet Potato and Sage Gnocchi and will definitely make them. I can’t wait to make the Baked Cake Oatmeal (is it dessert? Is it breakfast? WHY NOT BOTH!).
