Playlist to Accompany Giada's Kitchen Favrites
In her own words, here is Giada De Laurentiis's Book Notes essay for her memoir, Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites
When I made my earliest appearances on the Food Network, there were plenty of well-established authorities who already had made their mark on the culinary landscape. I wondered at first what on earth could I bring to the table. Where would I fit in? What new message did I have to share? When I thought about my roots, though, the way my family has always cooked, and the places and people whose food continues to inspire me today, the recipes and ideas began to come. And haven’t stopped since.
In keeping with Largehearted Boy’s invitation to take part in this feature, here is a little food and music pairing with some of the recipes and menus in my new book, Giada’s Kitchen, which comes out today!
Catch up with me on my book tour...
COCKTAIL PARTY

"

Giada at the New York Wine and Food Festival
Date/Time:Daily from Thu., October 9 until Sun., October 12Price: $30–$750
Dish: New York Wine & Food Festival Serves: A few thousand indiscriminate NYC foodies Prep time: Two years in the making by Schrager & Co., creators of the highly successful South Beach Wine & Food Festival (but we all know that Floridian taste buds are subpar to ours--Schrager, get ready to be grilled!) Ingredients: 1) Mix in several pounds of culinary glitz with the likes of Alice Waters, Bobby Flay, Lidia Bastianich, Gordon Ramsay, Giada Laurentiis, and Rachel Ray. 2) To sweeten, add dozens of famous pastry chefs. 3) Stir in mouth-watering events such as burger-bingeing in DUMBO, a late-night dessert party of cheesy and confectionery bliss, food discussion panels (ranging from how to write a cookbook to mixing great drinks), and food and culture walking tours.
