Giada De Laurentiis Quotes

Everything in moderation Picture Quote #1

Attitudes toward food have completely changed Picture Quote #1

Yoga has trimmed my body in a way that the gym never could. I used to be a gym rat, but I switched to yoga and am now almost 10 pounds lighter. One important thing I’ve gotten from yoga is breathing. When I’m cooking, the top part of my body collapses down. It cuts off my diaphragm Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world Picture Quote #1

My grandfather gave me inspiration to cook, and love food and flavors. My Aunt Raffie, gave me creativity and the inspiration to create new things. My mother inspires me to find simplicity in food Picture Quote #1

Cooking for me is a way to wind down. It’s different from cooking on camera, where you have to do everything twice, for a wide shot and a close-up Picture Quote #1

Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids, and his parents had a pasta factory, so as a kid, he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer, he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York Picture Quote #1

I keep my skin - especially on my face and neck - out of the sun. My brother died of melanoma eight years ago, and I’ve got SPF on all the time, 24-7. It makes you realize, the sun is a wonderful thing, but it can be a very devastating thing. So sunscreen is key, and a lot of laughter, too Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I spent time at my grandfather Dino’s gourmet store where he brought in chefs from Naples to cook. I thought of them as rock stars Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved, learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can, makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school, or even a single class, is a great bet too Picture Quote #1

My biggest bit of advice would be to spend some time actually helping caterers or Chefs, even if it has to be for free or as an intern of culinary externship. It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do Picture Quote #1

My sister is a masseuse, so we trade - she gives me massages and I give her prepared meals. It’s a great system I’d recommend: Cook or babysit for a friend in exchange for one of her skills Picture Quote #1

These days it’s cool to be ethnic and to be different, but when I was a kid, it was not cool - at all. My friends would come over and my mom would make crepes with eggs, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and spinach. And they’d be like, ‘What is this?’ Picture Quote #1

I lost my brother when he was 30, and that was devastating for me. I don’t know if I will ever get over it Picture Quote #1

I’m into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great Picture Quote #1

Don’t expect too much from yourself. What I like to do when I have a day off is make various cookie doughs and freeze them. Then I always have that on hand if I need it Picture Quote #1

Every time I think I have something under control, it changes and I don’t have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old, so right now I’m on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you’re constantly worrying about things Picture Quote #1

If people are made to feel uncomfortable in the kitchen, they won’t go in there. That’s why I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world Picture Quote #1

Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body; it’s truly love Picture Quote #1

I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I’ve also seen a whole lot of pain Picture Quote #1

To a billion people around the world surviving on just a dollar a day, the question of what to eat tonight is more about life and death than about recipes. The struggle of poor people around the globe weighs heavily on me, especially now that I am a mother, which is why I work with Oxfam Picture Quote #1

Stock up your pantry and your freezer with things that aren’t perishable: Your favorite jar of tomato sauce that lists ‘tomato’ as the first ingredient, lots of grains, olive oils, vinegars, tomato pastes, onions, shallots. When you go to the store, you only have to pick up meats and produce Picture Quote #1

Talking to other people while you’re cooking, it doesn’t come naturally Picture Quote #1

It’s more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way Picture Quote #1

I want my daughter to see a strong woman who goes after what she wants Picture Quote #1

You just need a little perspective. Warmed chocolate can give you that Picture Quote #1

Pasta doesn’t make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat Picture Quote #1
