De laurentiis giada biography of william

Giada De Laurentiis has led a pretty charmed life. Her Hollywood connections start with her award winning producer grandfather, Dino De Laurentiis, but as if it isn't enough to have one family member in the biz, both her father and her mother are actors, as is her brother. Those connections ultimately led to her gig with the Food Network in 2002, and De Laurentiis has been serving up her famous Italian fare ever since. Most recently, De Laurentiis found herself filming in cities of her beloved Italian countryside with her friend and sidekick Bobby Flay for their limited discovery+ series, Bobby and Giada in Italy.

De Laurentiis has shared several recipes inspired by their trip, including one of her personal favorites, Mortadella Pistachio Meatballs.
