She''s taught us every facet of Italian cooking--from
traditional and regional to seasonal and contemporary. She even
made us fall in love with pasta again by opening us up to lighter,
healthier versions that don''t weigh us down. Now the Food Network
star and bestselling author of "Everyday Pasta," Giada De
Laurentiis, takes us down a new path, sharing her love of food with
clean, vibrant, simple flavors and bursts of bright colors that
look as beautiful on the plate as they are delicious. Yes, you will
still find those fabulous recipes she remembers so fondly from
family meals, but you''ll also find updated twists on classic
trattoria favorites--California-inflected, hearty but not
overwhelming, and with the perfect balance of healthfulness and
terrific flavor. Wouldn''t you love a faster, lighter take on osso
buco here made with turkey instead of veal, a salad with real
substance like one of cantaloupe, red onion, and walnuts, and
fish that gets an Italian makeover by way of lots of fresh veggies
and accents such as fennel and grapefruit salsa? And let''s not
forget dessert. After all, what''s not to adore about little
doughnuts dipped in chocolate sauce? Ranging from soups and snacks
to easy entrees and elegant dinner-party fare, Giada''s recipes are
perfect for any day of the week. And for the first time, she
includes a full section of dishes that the little ones will love
making as much as they love eating like mini chicken meatballs.
With something to please everyone at your table, "Giada''s Kitchen"
deliciously demonstrates why Giada De Laurentiis has become
America''s best-loved Italian cook. Italy meets California In Giada
De Laurentiis''s collection of 100 new recipes, she focuses on fresh

weighed down will find inspiration for delicious, hearty yet
healthy weekday meals. Giada''s recipes satisfy both our desire to
