My Family Truly Believes They Are Better Cooks Than I Am. They See Me As Giada, Not As A Celebrity Chef. To Them I'm Just Me - Their Granddaughter, Niece, Etc., And They're Older And Wiser. I Like That Because It Keeps You Grounded.

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.
