34-year-old ‘Cravings: Hungry For More’ author Chrissy Teigen is NO RECIPE THIEF!
Teigen was recently slammed on Twitter by a user who claims that Teigen had stolen her recipe for banana bread and repurposed it for ‘Cravings!’ The Twitter ‘victim’ wrote in response to Chrissy on Twitter: “You can’t cook or not copy someone’s idea from their cookbook! It’s copying even tho you changed one thing! Come up with your own shit! Ya f***ing bum! Chef Mike saw your s*** and might file a suit! I just saw you review and he called me! Stick with your [Filipino] sh-t.
Chrissy quickly clapped back, writing: “No idea who chef mike is but he probably wouldn’t be happy to learn that you, a friend of his worthy of calling, is outing him about his impending lawsuit.” Chrissy then goes on to explain that the recipe was actually a year in the making, adding: “Perfecting this single recipe took me nearly a year. That’s why I needed so many damn bananas. It was a fine, yummy banana bread. But something wasn’t SPECIAL about it. I tried a million different things. Using banana pudding mix made it taste fake. Toasting the top with salty coconut made it a little too coconuty. Nuts were too controversial among my friends. Milk chocolate blended in too much […]” Take a look at the fiery Twitter exchange below and let us know: DO YOU THINK CHRISSY TEIGEN REALLY STOLE THE BANANA BREAD RECIPE? HAVE YOU EVER TRIED IT???

please tell me who this chef mike is? so I can speak to him? I have never stolen a recipe from anyone and I actively talk about the restaurants I love. imagine the ego to think someone is copying you when they haven't heard of you?
