In French you’d describe that you’d like 180 grams of sea bass as one hundred and four times twenty. You can imagine my poissoinnier just couldn’t imagine what one hundred and twenty times four was. So, I showed him my calculator instead. He responded in some local numerical dialect that I had to ask my…

Super Model Project: Asian Pear & Avocado Salad
All I can say is that I have no excuses. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to make this salad. It is so simple, but the perfect mix of sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy. All the things. The dressing sounds like a weird combo of ingredients, but is truly next level. Don’t make…
Super Model Project: Sweet Miso-Butter Cod and Snap Peas
On Saturday a lovely bottle of champagne found its way to my doorstep. It would have been wrong not to bring it in and keep it very close to me during these trying times, so that is exactly what I did. This probably explains why I never got around to plating the Sweet Miso-Butter Cod…
Third Place Recipe of Quarantine: Teigan’s Parmesan Waffles
It’s Sunday morning, and if you aren’t immediately heading to your kitchen to whip of the third place recipe of quarantine, are you even living? Holy hell, these are incredible and not all that carb heavy. The parmesan brings a umami quality that I cannot even explain. Your kitchen smells incredible and after you eat…

Hope that everyone’s quarantine is going as well as can be expected during these strange times. If you’re like me and everyone else in America, err the world, you have been cooking up a storm! While I personally have yet to make banana bread this quarantine, everyone else is which is why it seemed necessary…
PSA: Supermodel Soup is Sauce
Public Service Announcement: if you’ve recently made Creamy Tomato Soup, you hopefully, are flipping nuts over it too. If you haven’t; do it. Well, I had a serving left after travel last week and tossed it around some Trader Joe’s arugala/parm ravioli. Brought sauce raviolis to a boil in a medium pan and reduced for…
Super Model Project: Creamy Tomato Soup
Soup’s on for the next three weeks! That’s right, we have temporary veneers up in this mouth and they have broken once already, so a mandatory no chewing law is in order. This is the hottest tomato soup on the block- all other tomato soups must step aside! This is SUPERMODEL soup. Mad hot. Straight…
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…
