Giada De Laurentiis New Baby and New Cookbook
Giada was on the Today Show showing off her beautiful 6 month old daughter, Jade, and the birth of her newest cookbook, Giada’s Kitchen: New Italian Favorites. She said that with the birth of her daughter she wanted a book that had some great recipes the entire family would be sure to enjoy and that maybe even little hands can offer their help. So, she has a section of the cookbook dedicated to just that. Jade doesn’t have enough teeth to try any of her mom’s new ideas, but boy is she cute! I suppose the great gene-pool doesn’t hurt.
From the publisher:
Yes, you will still find those fabulous recipes she remembers so fondly from family meals, but you’ll also find updated twists on classic trattoria favorites—California-inflected, hearty but not overwhelming, and with the perfect balance of healthfulness and terrific flavor. Wouldn’t you love a faster, lighter take on osso buco (here made with turkey instead of veal), a salad with real substance (like one of cantaloupe, red onion, and walnuts), and fish that gets an Italian makeover by way of lots of fresh veggies and accents such as fennel and grapefruit salsa? And let’s not forget dessert. After all, what’s not to adore about little doughnuts dipped in chocolate sauce?
Ranging from soups and snacks to easy entrées and elegant dinner-party fare, Giada’s recipes are perfect for any day of the week. And for the first time, she includes a full section of dishes that the little ones will love making as much as they love eating (like mini chicken meatballs). With something to please everyone at your table, Giada’s Kitchen deliciously demonstrates why Giada De Laurentiis has become America’s best-loved Italian cook.
