During my first pregnancy, I developed an insatiable craving for oysters. Before that, the thought of eating those slimy, live creatures made me nauseous. Suddenly, I couldn't get enough—I wanted them at nearly every meal. We've been regulars at the fishmonger ever since (laughs)!
Twisted marshmallows became my ultimate guilty pleasure. They were pure bliss for my taste buds, and I got completely hooked, needing my fix regularly (laughs).
My pregnancy obsession? Dipping vinegar chips one by one into olive juice, sucking off the liquid, then savoring them. It sounds gross, but I was totally obsessed!
Kiri cheese—everywhere and with everything! At breakfast with cereal, in mashed potatoes, pasta, even melted into coffee or tea. Now, I can't even look at the package (laughs)!
I craved chalk so intensely it embarrassed me. I consulted a doctor, who diagnosed pica—an eating disorder linked to iron deficiency. Treatment resolved it completely. What a relief!
Bread topped with mayonnaise and strawberry jam equaled pure ecstasy during my pregnancy.
I became obsessed with coconut cream, adding it to veggies, soups, spaghetti—even drinking it straight from the carton! Yuck, in hindsight.
My go-to combo: white beans mixed with mayonnaise and gruyère cheese. Shockingly chic and glamorous!
For your next pregnancy, try popcorn dipped in shallot vinaigrette—super salty, bold, and perfect!
Cod liver on brioche for breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner. Far less glamorous than strawberries (laughs)!
