10 Of The Best Celebrity Cookbooks To Add To Your Bookshelf

When I heard years ago that Chrissy Teigen, then known as just a model and wife of John Legend was coming out with a cookbook, I can say that I swiftly brushed her off as just another wannabe celebrity cook.

The recipes you’ll find are inventive, easy to follow, inviting, and most of all, super delicious!

Another cookbook shelf staple is any book by celeb chef Jamie Oliver and while he’s got many best-selling books to choose from, a personal favourite of mine is 5 Ingredients.

Stanley Tucci is an acclaimed actor and I won’t lie but when I saw that he came out with a cookbook, I was a bit confused.
