We know that Chrissy Teigen is fast-food obsessed and a damn decent cook. One look at her Instagram account will have you chomping at the bit to get back into the kitchen—or at least buy her forthcoming cookbook. Her husband, singer-songwriter John Legend, is just as hungry. They're an adorably gastronomic couple who cooks together in the kitchen, gorges on take-out, takes cooking classes together, and even hits up Waffle House with Kimye.
Legend took to Reddit this afternoon for an all-out Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, where he revealed his musical influences (Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, and Nat King Cole, for the record) and which song was the first written for his wife ("Good Morning"). But his best responses are the food-centric ones. Check out the delish Q&A:
How much weight did you gain from Chrissy's cooking? Be honest!
I'm back to normal now. She's done testing her recipes and has moved on to the writing and photography phase of the book. I gained about 5 pounds during the recipe testing phase. And it was delicious!
On a scale from 1-10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest), how good are Chrissy's meals?
11.
What is your favorite dish that Chrissy prepares for you and how often do you two eat in towels? I assume you're both just messy eaters…
Chrissy's prosciutto-wrapped, Boursin-stuffed chicken is amazing. Her veal osso buco is amazing. So many great dishes. I'm so excited for y'all to get the cookbook. I'm a messier eater than Chrissy. But we both live a lot of our home life in towels or robes.
How do you stay fit while Chrissy cooks all that delicious food?
We both workout most mornings, which helps some. But we actually eat pretty moderately most of the time. Chrissy's Instagram looks so decadent and fattening, but we know we can't go crazy every day. Most days, we eat low-sugar/low-carb diets and try to keep our portion size to a reasonable level.
What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
I love chocolate peanut butter in just about any dessert or candy, especially ice cream! I love Talenti coconut gelato so much, too.
