More quotes by Giada De Laurentiis
Don't expect too much from yourself. What I like to do when I have a day off is make various cookie doughs and freeze them. Then I always have that on hand if I need it.
Giada De Laurentiis
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.

With my crazy schedule, that often means cutting into my sleep. But yoga gives me the energy and focus I need to get through my day. I'm not saying I don't need a cup of coffee in the afternoon sometimes, but it's the yoga that definitely keeps me centered.
Giada De Laurentiis
I'm comfortable in my own skin. I know I'm not going to ever be Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson.
Giada De Laurentiis
I always say to people that working full time and being a mom is probably the hardest job, because as a mom you think about your child 24/7.
Giada De Laurentiis
I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I've also seen a whole lot of pain.

Pasta doesn't make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat.

It will be a great success to me if my family comes into the restaurant and says that they're proud of what I've done, they're proud of the way I've represented the De Laurentiis name, and that they love my food. That is the moment of pure pride for me.

It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved, learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can, makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school, or even a single class, is a great bet too.

Every time I think I have something under control, it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old, so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.
Giada De Laurentiis
There's nothing like a home-cooked meal - nothing! When people ask me what the best restaurant in L.A. is, I say, 'Uh, my house.' It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.
Giada De Laurentiis
I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.

Cooking for me is a way to wind down. It's different from cooking on camera, where you have to do everything twice, for a wide shot and a close-up.
Giada De Laurentiis
The holidays stress people out so much. I suggest you keep it simple and try to have as much fun as you can.

It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.

I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home.
Giada De Laurentiis
My mother and I, our favorite part of any baked pasta is the top, where the cheese gets crusty.
Giada De Laurentiis
Talking to other people while you're cooking, it doesn't come naturally.
Giada De Laurentiis
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.
