That sobriety thing didn’t last very long for that A list celebrity.

They probably won’t talk about that part though.

Chrissy Teigen details why she decided to get sober – December 31, 2020

Chrissy Teigen is opening up about her sobriety.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the 35-year-old model revealed how Holly Whitaker’s book, “Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol,” contributed to her decision to get sober.

“One month ago, on my birthday, I got this book from my doctor and friend,” Teigen began on her Instagram Story.

“I was done with making an ass of myself in front of people (I’m still embarrassed), tired of day drinking and feeling like s–t by 6, not being able to sleep,” she continued. “I have been sober ever since and even if you can’t see yourself doing it or just plain don’t want to, it is still an incredible read.”

Earlier this week, Teigen confirmed that she’s been sober for a month. Following the revelation, the cookbook author received a slew of supportive messages from fans. – Source

What Whiskey Should You Cook With? Follow Chrissy Teigen’s Advice. – January 7, 2021

Whiskey as a cooking ingredient is underutilized and underrated. The question is, can you go with the cheap stuff?

On her website, model, TV personality and social media guru Chrissy Teigen has rhapsodized about what spirits and wine can bring to your dish. On bourbon, she notes:

If you’re looking for smoky flavors (and tequila is not for you), try bourbon or whiskey. Both have sweet, smoky, and caramel flavor profiles that can be used in either sweet or savory dishes. Next time you make bacon, try adding a maple-bourbon glaze!

Teigen, who has two cookbooks out and is working on a third, links to a useful food science article over at Fine Cooking, which explains alcohol’s role in improving flavor perception via evaporation and molecular bonding.

As for her cooking suggestion? “Avoid bourbon or whiskey you wouldn’t drink.” (Also, cook on low heat and pair with acidic ingredients like lemons, fruits or grains.) Meaning, go with the good stuff.

So, what to use? That’s up to what you like, of course. For Teigen — who recently announced she had quit drinking and seems to be extremely happy about her choice (as we are for her or anyone who makes that decision) — it appears she prefers variations on Bulleit. – Source
