It's almost ingrained in people that, just like you can't be a smart model, you can't be a good-looking cook.

More quotes by Giada De Laurentiis
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.

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

I don't eat a lot of anything. A little bit of everything, but not a lot of everything. Small meals all day long.
Giada De Laurentiis
All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.
Giada De Laurentiis
I think you can tell the food is close to my heart, too, because I'm doing what I do best.

Everything in moderation.

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.

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.

As long as you're eating well and moving your body every day, age is just a state of mind

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

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

My mother and I, our favorite part of any baked pasta is the top, where the cheese gets crusty.

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
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
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.

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

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.

I had a very tough childhood. I came here from Italy in the '70s and didn't speak a word of English, so the kids at school tormented me. Truly, it was horrifying the names they called me, and the teachers never really did a thing to stop it.
Giada De Laurentiis
Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids, and his parents had a pasta factory, so as a kid, he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer, he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York.

Talking to other people while you're cooking, it doesn't come naturally.
