Wow, what an incredible year of recipes! My personal goal for 2017 was to cook 50%-80% of each section in Ch87 Recipes Completed: List Below w/Ratings
Wow, what an incredible year of recipes! My personal goal for 2017 was to cook 50%-80% of each section in Chrissy Teigen's FIRST cookbook. I say first because I am absolutely sure she will come out with a second (and third, etc.) Her passion for her recipes is evident on every single page. Laugh-out-loud funny, Chrissy can make you want to try even the most questionable recipes (hot cucumber soup anybody??).
I hope you have fun exploring the recipes in this book. Go beyond your borders, try something new, you may be surprised with what you find!
Words of Caution: - Based on personal preference, I cut the salt in most recipes by almost half. You can always add salt, you can't take it back out. - SPICE! If you're not big on heat, I would cut some of the spicier elements by half as well. Do not attempt the Fish Tacos at full heat if you're not ready to sweat through the entire meal. (My husband loved them.)

When I picked up this book, I was expecting a story that was told in the same way that Ender's Game was told. While I absolutely adored Ender's Game, When I picked up this book, I was expecting a story that was told in the same way that Ender's Game was told. While I absolutely adored Ender's Game, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the sequel was not at all like it. The story was told in a completely different manner which was thrilling because it meant that I didn't have to, and in a way couldn't, compare it to the brilliance of its predecessor. This story stand on its own and involves a more in depth look into Ender, the world he lives in, and the new emerging morality that must be defined. A more mature read than Ender's Game and a great follow up to an amazing first chapter in the series....more
