Giada De Laurentiis : Heating Up More Than Recipes on Food Network

Layla Lair
Giada De Laurentiis, host of "Everyday Italian" on The Food Network, seems to be steaming a bit more these days than just recipes. Recently, I read in the June 25th 2007 TV Guide issue that some "cleavage haters" think this petite beauty might possess too sexy an image for food TV.

Speaking from experience, it can get very hot in the kitchen. Possibly the low cut 'take a peek at my boob tops' may be out of necessity and not that she wishes to serve a little 'shock and awe' with her pasta.

Since I had never watched a complete episode, I thought to peek...no pun intended.

As I watch, I have to wonder if I could get by with wearing the very trendy but definitely low cut attire while I cook. Somehow I do not think I would get the same reaction as I stir and beat my ingredients with such enthusiasm . Sadly, some things just do not get better with age.

As the episode closes, I wait to see if her creation is truly as yummy as she leads all onlookers to believe. She delicately takes a bite and with eyes closed finds herself momentarily speechless. The only sound escaping a drawn out Mmmm. Then the Giada De Laurentiis trademark smile quickly flashes with warmth and grace reminding you how likeable she seems to be.

My husband watches in pure admiration. In this moment, I have a window of understanding to her cult like appeal. I had many times passed by as my husband sat watching "Everyday Italian" and half wondered what he enjoyed about the show. I am sure now that it is much the same as Playboy Magazine.

We all know the saying about buying Playboy for the articles. Well, I am sure he is truly interested in watching Giada De Laurentiis wonderfully entertain and delight the senses. If you were to ask me which one, the curvaceous scenery or the mouth-watering recipes that draw him back, I have a pretty good guess.

Have we ever prepared a recipe featured by Giada De Laurentiis from her show "Everyday Italian"? No, I do not think we have yet but I am sure that someday one might pop out with promise. Yes, I meant recipes.

I cannot judge someone who brings so many to the understanding of Italian cooking. As I see it, she has found and perfected, a timeless recipe to attain most any mans heart. A little good food, spiced with a hint of cleavage, and a dash of anticipation makes for a happy man. Hey, why is my husband smiling?

    Fake smile, her boobs might be fake, too. She shows her breasts jiggling when she's stirring and mashing foods. Yeah, is she showing her cooking skill or her breasts? She just have to get her own TV show called: Boob's Shakin' Hot! She can become a porn star easily if she wasn't chef.

    I don't trust skinny chefs. Her smile annoys me.

    Great article. I'll confess to having watched this show as well, and I can't really tell you if it's for the recipes or the host. But if it gets your husband to enjoy cooking for you, are you really going to complain?

    Took the words right out of my mouth only you were nicer about it! Ever notice the the only way she bends/reaches is forward? Every ingredient she reaches for is always in front of her, not to the left or right! In my opinion, There are just to many other enjoyable, informative and fun cooking shows on that I don't care to waste my time watching "clevage girl"!

    Even if Giada covers her boobs.. which I wish she would... she has a pretty smile and a pretty face... i mean seriously.. who wants to look at emeril when you could look at giada?

    but alas... i don't cook like giada.. so give me alton brown.

    I like her because she's different from the average cook on the network, she's modern and beautiful and I made one of her recipes for stuffed peppers and it was really good.
