  1. This chick has a massive head

  2. she says less than 30 minutes at the beginning but at the end she says a
    little over an hour. wouldn’t trust her

  3. She is sexy as hell!

  4. Is that Sasha Grey?

  5. @ColorMeVicious This was one of her earliest episodes some years ago within
    the first season of Everyday Italian. According to her interview, her very
    1st episode in the 1st season of Everyday Italian was titled Lasagna or
    something with that word. This video is one of the earliest, when she was
    still showing a bit of discomfort in front of the camera, she admitted, and
    dressed physically conservative back then. In the last 3 years or so, her
    new show Giada at Home came about, where she is more comfortable with
    herself on-camera just like the later years of Everyday Italian and started
    dressing more revealingly in both shows. If I were allowed a suggestion, I
    would prefer she remain dressed conservatively and keep that confident,
    goofy, bubbly personality, ‘but’ keep most of her ingredients like she did
    in the early days of Everyday Italian where she humbly did everything
    herself. Back in the earliest episodes of Everyday Italian, I loved how
    Giada kept her used vegetables/fruits/canisters on the side and saying she
    is saving them for later (like the Ricotta cheese once), (puts the skins on
    the side and will throw them away later since they are not to be used)
    instead of instantly throwing them away like she does in the later episodes
    of Everyday Italian and most of her episodes in Giada at Home. The earliest
    episodes of Giada in Everyday Italian showcases her humility the most.
    Humility is what attracts me to a person the most.

  6. Something must be wrong. I don’t remember her head looking like a “big
    head” cheat is enabled. Then I love how she tells you how to cut an onion,
    yet she wastes so much of the onion and does not remove the root.

  7. @hellodolly1233 Like this person mentioned below the comments before yours,
    onions, carrots, and celery are used in both France and Italy. In France,
    which is Mirepoix, and in Italy, which is Soffritto, having 2 f’s and 2 t’s
    (onions, garlic, celery), as described in Wikipedia, also spelled Sofrito
    in Spain with 1 f and 1 t (using garlic, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes
    cooked in olive oil). Though there are more reliable sources than
    Wikipedia, it is faster to get the difference of these in each country. I
    hope this clears it up.

  8. she’s just like debra from dexter

  9. @goldseth If anything is from scratch, it’s made with fresh ingredients. I
    don’t need a chef to tell me that and I’m not trying to replicate whatever
    “great restaurants” do in their kitchens. In my kitchen, I cook fresh and I
    eat fresh. I don’t use anything in a can packed with salt and
    preservatives. Thanks for the good luck wishes, I did find a good video of
    Donatella Arpaia.

  10. @Ruubikon hahaha. Stop it its too much. But damn she has a nice rack

  11. or how to use proper grammar…

  12. @jamesdt02 hows that not from scratch?

  13. ok

  14. 0:15 i’m fine with it, but why do they have to set such an erotic ambience?

  15. Bouncy bouncy bouncy

  16. I am not that fond of Italian food because it basically tomatoe sauce and
    pasta. I’m in love with veggie and meat. LOL

  17. @mrsruthie2010 yeah, much better to cook like fat Paula Dean, just throw in
    tons of butter, fry it, get diabetes, easy as 1,2,3!

  18. her head looks big cuz her tits arent out

  19. I’m gonna GRAB a tomato and GRAB some garlic, PERFECT!

  20. Awesome. Thanks for the recipe.

  21. i saw an episode where she was using peas in the recipe. Her hands are so
    small that when she picked one up it looked like a softball in her newborn
    size hands.

  22. @illman8876 See, I am oblivious to authentic Italian cooking, so this is
    very new to me!!

  23. @1spoon1fork it’s not complicated at all its just sh*t, i’m italian and
    when i make a simple tomato souce is f*cking simple.

  24. @inka9 Erm… I’d have to say probably no? lol You? Do you love her? Do
    you? Do you Inka9?

  25. @Rendse Still love her and think she’s a sexy deliciosa cook!

  26. Asparagus with tomatoes:
    In a baking dish lay spears of asparagus and drizzle with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. On top of asparagus place sliced tomatoes. Drizzle more olive oil and seasoning on tomatoes.
    Bake in 350 oven until asparagus is tender.
    Top with Italian shredded cheese blend and pop back in oven til cheese melts.

  27. check out foodnetwork.com they have a section on their homepage full of ideas for summer produce.

  28. My mom makes these really good tomato and mozzarella cups for an appetizer.
    It’s diced tomatoes mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese, and oregano mixed together in little pie crusts pressed into a muffin pan. Cook until the cheese is melted and the crusts are golden. They are great for little get togethers.

  29. CHERRY TOMATO SALAD

    1/2 lb. bacon or 1 1/2 tbsp. Hormel bacon bits
    2 pts. cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 lg. cucumber, peeled & diced
    1 bunch green onions, chopped
    1 or 2 tsp. garlic salt
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    1 tsp. sweet basil
    1/4 c. red wine vinegar
    1/3 c. salad oil

    Cook bacon until crisp (if using). Drain and chop. Combine bacon, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and basil. Mix well and chill. Combine vinegar and oil. Shake well. Pour over salad and toss.

    SHRIMP IN CHERRY TOMATOES

    1 (4 1/2 oz.) can shrimp
    2 tbsp. minced onion
    2 tbsp. mayonnaise
    1 pt. cherry tomatoes

    Clean out cherry tomatoes, leaving shell. Mix shrimp, mayonnaise and onion. Stuff shells with mixture. Pretty at picnics and barbecue.

    SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES

    10 cherry tomatoes, rinsed and patted dry
    1 tbsp. unsalted butter
    1 tbsp. olive oil
    1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
    Salt and pepper to taste

    In a small heavy skillet, saute the tomatoes in the butter and oil over moderately high heat, stirring, for 3 minutes or until the skins begin to split. Swirl in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and cook the tomatoes, stirring, for 1 minute.
    This is great way to use extra garden cherry tomatoes. It’s easy to double and triple the recipe according to the size of your skillet. Delicious with rice and chicken dishes.

  30. My Mom used to make a wonderful tomato preserve with tiny pear tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.
    Cook equal measures of sugar and tomatoes together until you have a syrupy mixture, a honey color to the syrup. Stir and make certain that the tomatoes don’t burn (I made that mistake once!).
    You may can this by simply putting the mixture into hot canning jars while syrup is boiling then putting on heated lids and rings(lids and rings should be heated by placing in water that has been brought to a boil, then turned off-leave lids and rings in water until ready to put on each jar, dry carefully). Personally I always use a boiling water bath for anything I don’t pressure can-Mom told me that the sugar keeps the tomatoes safe, but I like to use current canning safety measures.

  31. If you like spicy food, you could try tomato rice. It’s an indian dish so it’ll have a kick to it. It’s very tasty though. Sorry, I don’t have a recipe, I’ve only ever eaten it when others cook it for me. You could find it very easily through a search engine if you’re interested.

  32. Here is what I did and so far it is great.
    Peel tomatoes cook on med heat with green peppers and onions until everything is done and juicy. Now strain the juice for drinking or soups (this can be frozen for later) Then put your stewed tomatoes into freezer bags for later use. Hope this helps. (they are good served just out of the pot with rice.)
