Giada De Laurentiis, author of cookbooks such as “Everyday Italian” and the Food Network star, sat down with yoursource for an interview. A few snippets:
Who is your favorite person to cook with?
My Aunt Raffy, who appears on my TV show quite a lot. I grew up in the kitchen with her, my mother, and grandfather.
Can you pick three cookbooks to save in a time capsule?
The Joy of Cooking, a must for any kitchen. The French Laundry Cookbook by Thomas Keller is a great example of gourmet creativity that anybody can do in their own kitchen. And Nobu the Cookbook, by Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.
If you were stranded on a desert island for a year surviving on coconuts and seaweed, what would be the first meal you’d crave eat after you were rescued?
Baked ziti and chocolate.
