Chrissy Teigen's EW Photoshoot: Behind-the-Scenes Photos

For the new issue of EW, we got in the kitchen with Chrissy Teigen to cook up some fish tacos and spicy street corn — and to find out why fans are drooling over her New York Times best-selling cookbook, Cravings: Recipes for All the Foods You Want to Eat.

“I don't think anybody's horrible at cooking. If you can read a recipe, you can do well.”

“I like sloppy cooking. I like things loud.”

“I didn't want to be ‘the model cook.’ I just want people to cook what they actually love.”

“I consider myself a feminist, but when I have any thick steak or any kind of man meat, I leave it up to the men. I put [husband] John [Legend] in charge of meat most of the time.”

“One of my favorite things is when people say something like ‘I’m pulling a Chrissy Teigen, at home on a Saturday night, drinking wine, making lasagna.’”

“Not only am I not good at baking, I don't even have a sweet tooth.”

“For me, it's all about not throwing a filter on it. I bump up the saturation on everything, which makes it a little more vibrant. I sharpen it a lot. I contrast a bit. But that's it.”
