Giada De Laurentiis

I grew up in the kitchen, mostly with my grandfather, my mother and my aunt Raffy. ↗

I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I've also seen a whole lot of pain. ↗

I lost my brother when he was 30, and that was devastating for me. I don't know if I will ever get over it. ↗

I spent time at my grandfather Dino's gourmet store where he brought in chefs from Naples to cook. I thought of them as rock stars. ↗

I think you can tell the food is close to my heart, too, because I'm doing what I do best. ↗

I was so nervous to turn 40, but the last year and a half has been the most fun I have ever had. ↗

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world. ↗

I'm comfortable in my own skin. I know I'm not going to ever be Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson. ↗

I'm into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great. ↗

I'm most comfortable in T-shirts, but they have to have some style to them. ↗
