Giada de Laurentiis graces the cover of Page Six Magazine this week. Known best for being the seductive chef behind Food Network’s Everyday Italian and author of two New York Times best-selling cookbooks, Giada talked about her childhood in Italy, success as a renowned chef, her favorite food spot in Manhattan, and happiness as a wife and mother.
Giada admits she doesn’t wear the highest of necklines on her show, but denies an intentional sex appeal approach:
“Porn? I’m not doing porn! What the hell are people talking about? [It's not] PBS-style cooking. I mean, I love Lidia [Bastianich], but [she's] kind of boring.And Mario Batali [I] love to death…but he’s not romantic or sensual.Those are the things I bring to the table.”
Everyday Italian is now on a break, but that only means Giada found a plethora of other projects to fill her plate.Her new show, Giada at Home, a fourth cookbook, her dress-designing husband Todd, and Jade, her “peanut” of a daughter keep her more than occupied.
There was once a time where having children, or even marriage, didn’t seem to be on the menu.
“I never cared about marriage.I was more worried about working, and really didn’t think I’d have kids.Then Todd turned 40 and I guess he thought to himself, ‘I think I’d like to marry Giada.’”
Giada hopes to instill an appreciation for her home country in her daughter, by singing her the Italian lullabies that were once sang to her as a child.Her husband has other plans to throw into the family pot.
“He will always tell the story of how his grandmother would take him to McDonald’s and Burger King.And he says, ‘I can’t wait to take Jade.’”

I LOVE this dress!
Just a tramp who isn’t pretty at all.
All she needs to complete her look is a wart. Seriously, that face is like a witch Halloween mask. The nose!
I’d watch Lidia over her anytime of any day. It’s not even close.
what a little snot. mario batali has more talent and experience in his little finger than she could ever dream to have. that man can absolutely throw down, and all she does is throw her cleavage around and make bad food (ive tried many of her recipes and so many of them are just gross). and Lidia, who is a highly respected and worked her way up from nothing as a poor immigrant to the country, unlike Giada’s pampered privleged life born into fame and fortune. she’s a brat.
i never Iiked it her but thought her to be a bit more humbIe
nevermind i guess on that, dang
I’m shocked her tits are not hanging out in this picture, she’s a skank!
slut
she’s a total sl-ut
She’s famous for cooking…she’s not trying to be a model or world’s most beautiful woman. What’s up with all the bashing her looks?
She’s a chef, and if you actually tried her recipes you would find out that they are really good!
p.s. Many people think she is beautiful, and you know that she is much better looking than you.
12 year old boy? Slut?
You guys (gals, I’m sure) are just fat and jealous.
She’s incredibly hot… I hear she can cook, as well.
She has great enthusiasm & energy.
And god bless her assistant for always putting that spatula just out of reach.
Agreed. I’m pretty sure the only people who think she’s unattractive are super ugly. And probably fat too. Ugly/fat/both girls are always saying things like that.
Purple looks more graceful,very beautiful.
I need to see those tits of hers in Playboy or paparazzi shot…
She is a beautful lady,and i like to see her
No question her critics, especially about her looks, are ugly, fat and jealous. They must be looking in a mirror when they say those things. Privately, they’d all rather be Giada in a heartbeat. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world, the best cook in the world, has the greatest personality in the world as well as the cutest baby in the world. Other than that she doesn’t have much going for her.
I sure hope Todd appreciates what he has!
i bet you’re fat and ugly
you’re fucking stupid. sluts arent married. and have a full time job with a 6 digit salary
i love giada. i try and watch giada as much as i can. yes, she makes food that doesn’t sound so good but shes friggin Italian. shes making these for her culture and what she grew up with. stop hating on a hot ass chef who im sure can cook 10 times better than anyone commenting on here.
Giada is cultured and classy, and I love the way she speaks and presents the beautiful, fresh and simple tastes of the Mediterranean. She is lucky to be in California where she can mimic the delicious fresh produce of Italy, shere she grew up. I think that she is also pretty and carries herself nicely. She has the exotic beauty of a Southern Mediterranean woman–no, it may not be the blonde, blue eyed, tiny snub nose which Americans hold as their beauty standard, but that is not the only type of beauty in the world folks! *wink*
i love lidia, too! am i the only male that gets hard as i notice her huge breasts?
YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY. YOU ARE ALL SO JEALOUS OF HER ITS JUST RIDICULOUS. SHE IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. QUIT DISSING HER NOSE? ITS UNIQUE, AND IT SHOWS HER ITALIAN HERRITAGE. AT LEAST SHES NOT PLASTIC, SHES ALL NATURAL. “WITCH” MY ASS, THE ONLY PERSON THATS A WITCH IS ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE A ISSUE WITH HER. THE JEALOUSY NEEDS TO STOP, GET OVER YOURSELFS.
Giada is , will be and always has been georgous. native america loves her. she can come to south glens falls new york and roast some fresh venison over the fire with us in the woods anytime she wants. she had better look up kevin and tammy of vcs landscape to see how they do venison chilli. everyone fights to end up @ thier end of the work season party. the food is all from scratch. and it is all made over an open fire.so anyone who wants to bash her better learn to cook , cus all i see here is the opinions of the uneducated and inept miscreants who dont know gold when they see it. look up kevin and tammy. for the best fresh venny, native style. they do it righteous. tomohawk_
I love Giada! I can’t wait for her to be back on the food network. I need some more recipes.
She looks like Madchen Amick, the one who plays The Duchess on Gossip Girl.
Finally! I do not think I have ever seen Giada here—MORE! MORE! I have missed some great sporting event moments switching to her show during a commercial and I cant turn away! YummY!
I like Giada’s show and can’t wait for it to return, but I’m surprised she lowered herself to essentially bad-mouthing her competition. And sensuous? She has the body of a 12-year-old boy. Now I’m actually glad Rachel Ray (not a formally trained chef) beat her on Iron Chef. LOL
I think she is fill of shit! With that fucked up nose she has! She thinks way too highly of herself…… W A Y.
I LOVE watching her cook and how she present herself on TV. I think she is very pretty but how the hell does she stay so skinny???
If i thought she was smug and self centred just a little bit she has proven it even more. Im sorry i cant tolerate her, her show is over rated and exaggerated being Italian myself and coming from growing up with Italian food she makes out like she is the first and only to discover this and that when it comes to food. Im sorry i used to like her but i have no respect for her anymore not just with this article but i have read other stuff of her and my respect has gone down. She is damn lucky with everything she has and i hope she appreciates it.
Not a fan.
sorry she looks like a major biatch trying to pull her best demure lady appeal. Just look at that hookey nose over thin lips. Kinda like Paris Hilton.
