Personal Life
Career
Her cooking program, Everyday Italian, has been broadcast on the Food Network since 2003. On her Chefography (a Food Network biography show) episode, she admitted that she never wanted to be in her "family business" of show business. She also shared that she felt very uncomfortable in front of the camera when she first started hosting Everyday Italian, but since then, has become more relaxed and open on air. She now enjoys being in the spotlight and has become one of Food Network's most popular television personalities. When this show first aired, the Food Network received emails accusing the network of hiring a model or actress pretending to cook instead of a real chef.[1]
De Laurentiis began hosting Behind The Bash, in October 2005, which explores the catering process behind big event extravaganzas such as the Grammys. On a November 2006 episode of Iron Chef America, she and Bobby Flay faced off against, and were defeated by Rachael Ray and Mario Batali. In January 2007, a third De Laurentiis-hosted show, the travelogue Giada's Weekend Getaways debuted on the Food Network. On this show, she travelled to a featured locale (such as Seattle, South Beach, San Francisco, Napa or Jackson Hole, Wyoming) and visited her favorite local culinary destinations.
In 2007, De Laurentiis appeared as a presenter on the inaugural "Food Network Awards." In June 2007, she hosted a two-part Food Network special entitled Giada in Paradise, featuring the two locales of Santorini, Greece and Capri, Italy. De Laurentiis also made a few appearances as a guest judge on The Next Food Network Star which initially aired in the summer of 2007.
De Laurentiis is the current spokesperson for the pasta manufacturer Barilla.
