I Wasn't Looking To Get Into Tv.

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.

It's Almost Ingrained In People That, Just Like You Can't Be A Smart Model, You Can't Be A Good-looking Cook.

I Made Lemon Spaghetti In An Early Season Of 'everyday Italian,' And To This Day People Still Come Up To Me And Say They Love It. It's Very, Very Simple. Basically, You Cook The Pasta And Mix Together Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice And Zest And Pour It Over The Pasta.

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.

Attitudes Toward Food Have Completely Changed.
