Chrissy Teigen [1] graces the cover of Cherry Bombe [2]'s latest Issue Number 7, and it's a must have for May [3]. Beyond sharing a few recipes from the cookbook (including her mom Pepper's Pork-Stuffed Cucumber Soup recipe) and the simultaneously luscious yet hilarious photos of Chrissy (In-N-Out and Avocado Toast t-shirts are involved), Chrissy reveals a side we don't get to see too often. The interview took place before the release of her cookbook, so she's a ball of nerves and is quick to downplay her expertise in food and recipe developing. You can't help but snicker as the cookbook became an overnight bestseller on Amazon [4] and in The New York Times [5]. You'll have to pick up the issue to read whether or not a dessert cookbook is next in the works for Chrissy. In the meantime, we pulled these juicy quotes from the article:

Why she'll never consider herself a chef "I can't develop recipes. That's why I'll never say I'm anything more than a fun at-home lover of cooking. I can't even say cook really because there are certain things that I'll see at the grocery store that still scare me. Like almond flour!"

On her recipe pet peeve: "It's terrifying. YOU Don't want to fail people. That's why I am really crazy about measuring and being a little more neurotic in the kitchen than just throwing things in a dish and having fun. I love getting people to cook who are nervous about it. I know how scary it is to read 'Add to your spice level' or 'salt to taste.' Some people don't know what that is, so I like to tell people exactly what things mean."
