5 Celebrity Cookbooks to Add a Star-Studded Splash to Your Next Dinner
While many A-list celebrities have the luxury (and the budget) to have an in-house chef prepare their meals or dine out at five-star restaurants daily, like many non-celebs, some of them actually enjoy the culinary arts as a hobby and a passion. Now, as someone who is admittedly pretty green when it comes to whipping up anything but an average omelet or microwavable burrito in the kitchen, the appeal of not having to cook is pretty compelling, so it’s a bit hard for me to comprehend this mentality. In fact, some of these celebs like cooking so much, they’ve even released their own cookbooks.
As a way to motivate me to cook more (and to cook better meals when I’m trying to impress), I’ve been on the hunt to find the best celebrity cookbooks chock full of recipes that will please everyone, regardless of your culinary preferences or dietary restrictions.
Whether you’re looking for clean eating, gluten-free or sinful recipes to spice up your breakfast, dinner, lunch, and dessert game, these star-studded cookbooks will help you elevate your next meal or snack without the hassle or disappointment. From old-school soul food classic dishes courtesy of hip hop legend Snoop Dogg to nutritious smoothies and bowls that wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow whips up for her family, there’s something for everyone, regardless of your taste, diet, or level of expertise.

1. Cravings: Recipes For All The Food You Want to Eat
I may be biased, seeing as how I’m a huge Chrissy Teigen fan, but this is truly one of my favorite cookbooks to follow when I’m trying to impress someone (or just impress myself). Teigen’s collection of beginner-friendly recipes is full of delicious meals, and interspersed with funny anecdotes and pieces of advice in the kitchen and out. She even tells you how to use bacon as a home fragrance substitute. I mean, what a hack!

2. From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen
When I think of Snoop Dogg, gin and juice and hip hop come to mind — not cooking (despite his VH1 TV show with Martha Stewart, of course). But alas, the West Coast hip hop icon has released a comprehensive book of recipes “OG soul food,” including baked mac and cheese, Frito BBQ twists, and even filet mignon.

After the Grenfell Tower fire in London, a group of women got together to cook meals for their neighbors and families, which ultimately lead to the inception of this touching book of recipes. Meghan Markle writes the foreword to this culturally and socially charged cookbook, which includes dishes like Coconut Chicken Curry, Persian Chicken with Barberry Rice, and Caramelized Plum Upside-Down Cake.
