Chrissy Teigen is back with a sequel to her cookbook, “Cravings,” with “Cravings: Hungry For More.”

A new collection of recipes complete with photos of herself, her husband John Legend and their children, along with her own sassy thoughts on things, the model/TV personality is ready to deliver something tasty to home cooks.

The book is divided in nine chapters: Breakfast and Brunch, Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, Snacks, Potatoes and their Friends, Thai Mom, Supper and Sweets.

Breakfast and Brunch kicks off any array of tasty foods like Crispy Parmesan Waffle Breakfast, Buttermilk-Chive Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches and Cheesy Polenta with Mushrooms.

Soups offers dishes like Lazy Shrimp and Pork “Wonton” Soup, Parmesan Minestrone with Chili Mayo Toasts and Carrot Coconut Soup.

Salads serves up Cool Ranch Taco Salad, Asian Pear and Avocado Salad and Tangy Herb-Sesame Slaw.

Sandwiches has recipes for Chicken Teriyaki Burgers with Toasted Coco Buns, Grilled Pork Banh Mi Sandwiches with Quick Pickles and Philly French Dip Sandwiches.

Snacks has dishes such as Crispy Coconut Chicken Tenders with Pineapple-Chili Sauce, Mushroom and Crispy Shallow Nachos and Fluffy Corn Dogs.

Potatoes and Their Friends includes recipes for Cirspy Buffalo Smashies, Golden Onion Rice Pilaf and Kung Pao Roasted Broccoli.

Thai Mom has dishes that Teigen’s mother included, with her own twist with Tom Yum Noodles, Pork Glass Noodle Salad and Thai Fishcakes with Spicy Peanut Sauce.

Supper includes dishes for Cheesy Chicken Milanese, Seared Steak with Spicy Garlic-Miso Butter and Same-Skillet Asparagus and One-Pot Seafood Stew with Skillet Flatbread.

Sweets ends things with Twitter’s and Uncle Mike’s Banana Bread, Fruit Salad with Coconut-Lime Dressing and Instant Mango Sorbet.

For one evening I tried both of Teigen’s ham cups: Egg-Mozzarella Ham Cups and Croissant Bread Pudding Ham Cups. Both use deli ham made into a “cup” with a muffin tin (and I had to borrow and extra muffin tin.) The ham forms a nice shell for the filling inside.

The egg-mozzarella and tomato is somewhat like having bruscetta, but with ham. I am not an egg fan at all, but I liked the flavor of the pesto with the mozzarella and the tomato. I don’t know what I did to my eggs, but it was something as they turned out…kinda ugly.

But having never cooked eggs, since I hate them, I think it still turned out good.

The croissant bread pudding ham cups have a french toast like bread pudding inside the cooked ham. It was more of a sweet pastry dish with a hint of savory with the ham. I expected to like it better, since I love French toast, but I actually liked the egg one the best.

Fans of Teigen will want to snap this one up and there are some great recipes that will appeal to kids and adults.

“Cravings: Hungry for More” is published by Clarkson Potter. It is $29.99.
