It's been nine years since Chrissy Teigen launched her debut cookbook, Cravings, and she’s since carved out a serious name for herself in the culinary world.

Chrissy Teigen’s approach to food

Teigen has always been a foodie—back in 2011, five years before Cravings hit shelves, she launched her first food blog, So Delushious. In a 2024 interview with Today, she shared that despite previous struggles with diet culture, she now prioritizes balance and focuses on nourishing herself and her children with fresh, whole foods.

“I don’t live in a world where carbs are scary anymore, but I grew up with such diet culture in my household,” she explained. “Now that I have kids, we try to make sure that food is not talked about in a negative way. It’s a positive, fun thing, and you get to indulge sometimes. They have a Happy Meal every once in a while.”

That said, nothing is off-limits. On Cravings by Chrissy Teigen—her current platform for sharing most of her culinary creations—you’ll find recipes that span a wide range of ingredients, including meat, dairy, and eggs. Still, there’s a generous selection of vegetarian options, along with a handful of fully plant-based dishes.

In 2021, Teigen shared a collaboration on Instagram with popular recipe blog The Korean Vegan, noting, “I get so many requests for vegan recipes at Cravings.” Speaking of the blog’s founder, Joanne Lee Molinaro, Teigen added, “She is a master at veganizing Korean food.”

But Teigen hasn’t stopped there—she’s also experimented with her own plant-based creations. Below, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourites.

Chrissy Teigen’s top 5 vegan recipes

These five Chrissy Teigen recipes are deliciously plant-based.

1Veggie Summer Rolls

If you’re in the mood for something light, fresh, and packed with nutritious, flavourful ingredients, summer rolls are always a great option. They’re similar to spring rolls, only instead of being deep-fried, they’re usually wrapped in raw rice paper. Of course, they’re still enjoyed with a dipping sauce on the side. In this recipe, which was actually created by Teigen’s mother Vilailuck Teigen, rice paper is loaded up with ingredients like meaty mixed mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts, and served with an aromatic spicy dipping sauce. “So many people asked us how to make [these] without the shrimp, so I figured I would share my special savoury mushroom filling in case you want to go meatless,” writes Vilailuck.
