A Super Model French Onion soup is Super interesting…there’s a soy sauce element not found in the soup a l’ognion that I’m having in Switzerland. This one has that umami element coupled with the brilliant invention of self-toasting croutons. Tell me this isn’t the perfect meal for the first snow day in a year and…

Super Model Project: Butter Lettuce with Blue Cheese & Cayenne-Candied Walnuts
This is the best salad that I’ve made in a minute; I guess I’d expect nothing less from a super model. Also, it’s beyond simple, just a really nice combo that will soon be in regular rotation. A few ratio tweaks from me…sometimes I think Ms. Teigan may have had a vo-so or two too…

Super Model Project: Red Curry Chicken
Chrissy, girl. Friend I’ve never met, spirit animal, sister from another mister, and kitchen diva… I love you. I love your recipes… I LIKED this one. It was tasty, it was easy, it tasted like a comforting piece of home. BUT IT WASN’T SPICY ENOUGH. Not even close. I realize you wrote Cravings 2 when…
Supermodel Project: Braised Short Ribs
I was a little nervous for the Valentine’s Day main event, Chrissy Teigan’s Braised Short Ribs, because I’d never made them before. It was a leap of faith down the supermodel cooking runway. Ms. Teigan suggests serving said ribs over a sweet potato mash that is flavored with maple syrup. While I may like Valentine’s…
Super Model Project: Banana Bread
A week or so ago I bought 6 bananas because Chrissy Teigan told me to. When I occasionally buy bananas to eat, they seem to go brown immediately. When I needed them for a pre-new year’s baking challenge, they would NOT brown. For 10 days! So, I wasn’t intending to start off 2019 with a…
Super Model Project: Veggie Couscous & Spicy Pine Nuts
I rang in the new year at a house full of friends and the next day with a hangover from hell and several a Chrissy Teigan recipe. I had literally zero desire to cook (or get out of bed), but I had bought all the ingredients a few days prior and it was cook them…

Happy 2019, lovely readers! I have NO DOUBT this will be the greatest year yet. It has to be! I’m exhausted. 🙂 I set things off on the right foot by cooking pork for new years with the intention of taking it’s good luck to heart. I don’t normally make pork…ever…but, I was pulling out…

Super Model Project: Short Rib Curry
Happy Thanksgiving, lovely readers! Sick of turkey and potatoes? Need something different from those bland, fall flavors of weeks past? Thai Short Ribs aren’t pretty, but they are a welcome change to words like butternut and potato. If you have some time this weekend – which you should, it’s a long one. Slow cook these…
Supermodel Project: Kung Pao Broccoli
A few weekends ago, I was planning a grand meal for company and decided that all the recipes had to come out of Chrissy Tiegan’s newest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More. Why, you ask? 1. Her recipes are pretty fail-proof. 2. To look like a supermodel at the end of this. 3. Maybe some relationship…
