Giada De Laurentiis is reacting to the talk about her pronunciation of Italian words.

“Honestly, I moved here in elementary school from Rome. I really didn’t speak any English and I flunked the first grade. I couldn’t practice at home because my parents insisted that we speak Italian,” the former Food Network chef shared in an Instagram post.

“Everything was about Italian food and culture in my house, so when I started on Food Network, it didn’t occur to me to not pronounce those words correctly. Also my family probably would’ve killed me if I hadn’t pronounced them the right way, the way they had taught me,...

Giada De Laurentiis is calling out her former Food Network co-star Mario Batali.

If you don’t know, the 64-year-old disgraced celebrity chef has fallen out of the spotlight. He was first publicly accused of sexual misconduct in 2017. Years later, he was eventually charged with indecent assault and battery after he was accused of aggressively kissing and groping a woman while they took a selfie. He ended up being found not guilty in that case. A former employee accused him of sexual assault in 2022.

In a new interview, Giada is speaking out about a negative experience she had with him.

“This is a person we’re not supposed to talk about but I’m going to,” Giada said on Samah Dada‘s On the Menu Show.

“He’s really the main guy I had worked with. He’s a legend in the Italian space.

Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis broke down in tears after reading Mario Batali’s foreword for her debut cookbook, and not in a good way! De Laurentiis, who published Everyday Italian back in 2005, was initially thrilled to have Batali, a culinary icon, pen its opening. Unfortunately, though, the chef’s foreword reduced De Laurentis’s achievements to her looks and completely dismissed her cooking talent.

On a recent episode of Samah Dada’s YouTube show, On the Menu, the Giada at Home star shared that she was not expecting Batali to treat the situation like a joke. In fact, he doubled down on his comment and wrote that if he had big boobs like De Laurentiis,he would be far more successful than he was. DeLaurentiis recalled calling her editor because she had no idea how to respond.

De Laurentiis shared that she was determined not to let the comment define her work.

On June, three days after the stunning death of Food Network star Anne Burrell, the beloved chef’s loved ones attended a private wake in New York City.

According to Page Six, the sad gathering took place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Among those in attendance were Burrell’s husband, Stuart Claxton… along with famous chefs Scott Conant, Amanda Freitag and Marc Murphy.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum Kelly Bensimon and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Carson Kressley also paid their respects to Burrell.

We have an update on the tragic death of Anne Burrell.

The Food Network host — who passed away earlier this week at the age of 55 — was allegedly found inside her Brooklyn home next to “dozens of pills,” according to a report published by The New York Post on Thursday.

To be clear, no further details about the official investigation have been released.

Also to be clear, no cause of death has been confirmed at this time.

The public learned on Tuesday, June 17 that Burrell had died earlier that morning.

“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” her family said in a statement to various outlets.

Food Network hosts and stars are paying tribute to Anne Burrell after the news of her death was announced Tuesday.

After graduating with a degree in English and communication from Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, she graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1996 and studied at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Asti, Italy. Burrell made her TV debut in 2005 on The Next Iron Chef. From there, she went on to appear in numerous Food Network programs, including her first hosting gig with 2008’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.

She went on to host Worst Cooks in America alongside Beau MacMillan and worked on the series for 27 seasons, becoming a mainstay Food Network personality. Additional programs she appeared in on the network included Chopped, Celebrity Food Fight, Cutthroat Kitchen, Cooks vs. Cons, Food Network Star, The Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, Wildcard Kitchen and House of Knives, on which she competed.

Chef Bobby Flay is remembering Food Network star Anne Burrell following her sudden death Tuesday.

“The greatest gift I got from Ab was turning me on to a world of Maine Coon Cats (including Nacho)… a gift that I’ll have forever,” Flay wrote on Instagram, referring to his pet cat Nacho that Burrell influenced him to get, alongside a photo of Burrell with two cats.

Flay also praised Burrell’s show Worst Cooks in America. He wrote,, “Worst Cooks in America was the funnest show on TV. All of your co-hosts (me included) were just alongside for the Anne Burrell ride.”

Comedian Loni Love, who served as a guest judge on an episode of Beat Bobby Flay featuring Burrell, also remembered the Food Network star on X, saying Burrell’s passing left her “in shock and sorrow.”

“She was a gifted chef, and an extraordinary person,” Love wrote. “Chef...

Bobby Flay is the latest celebrity to publicly mourn the loss of Anne Burrell.

As tragically detailed this week, the Worst Cooks in America host was found dead on June 17 inside of her Brooklyn residence.

She was only 55 years old.

Late on Wednesday, the 60-year-old restauranteur paid his respects in a heartfelt tribute to Burrell — who appears to have died due to cardiac arrest.

“Worst Cooks in America was the funnest show on TV. All of your co-hosts (me included) were just alongside for the Anne Burrell ride,” Flay wrote of his colleague in a post via his Instagram Stories.

Anne Burrell, the Food Network chef found dead in her Brooklyn, home June 17 at age 55, was a TV star almost from the moment she first appeared as a sous chef on one of the first episodes of Iron Chef America in 2004, assisting Mario Batali. Her spiky hair and kitchen intensity fascinated viewers so much that she was eventually given her own cooking show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. When I interviewed her for my 2013 book From Scratch: Inside the Food Network, Burrell told me about her difficult upbringing, and her childhood fantasy that Julia Child was her friend. She spoke of a family member who struggled with drinking. Restaurant work often attracts people looking for surrogate families. I remember her in better times at karaoke singing “Country roads/ take me home…” You could not look away. She gave everything her all, including, as you’ll see below in this excerpt adapted from my book,...

These chefs are so rich...

Food is the way to the heart…and also your wallet!

And Giada De Laurentiis knows how to maneuver both. If you’ve ever watched Food Network — or any cooking show with Bobby Flay — you’ve probably heard of this culinary superstar.

A New Chapter with Amazon Studios

In early 2023, Giada De Laurentiis left the Food Network after 21 years and signed a multi-year deal with Amazon Studios.

This powerhouse of a woman is one of the richest chefs in the world and an incredible culinary artist.

Giada has become a household name for many home chefs, but if you aren’t familiar with your home kitchen — or with Giada — let’s recap this chef’s background, career, and how she accumulated a net worth of $30 million!

On Rebecca Minkoff’s Superwomen podcast,...

Eric Schlosser knows food. Not in the way Bobby Flay or Giada De Laurentiis does, but in a scholarly manner that knows its affects on the health of anyone who eats.

The author of the classic study Fast Food Nation and an EP on several films, Schlosser came to Bill Maher’s Friday Real Time as a harbinger of potential doom to come, a guest with the credentials to back up his scary predictions with authority.

The next pandemic, Schlosser said, is potentially germinating down in Texas. That’s where it was recently discovered that bird flu had migrated into the cows at mega-dairies, and the federal government has not been allowed in to test the livestock or its workers.

“It’s a perfect example of how the public health is being threatened by private interests,” he said, noting, “The food industry spends more money lobbying than the defense industry.

Giada De Laurentiis is explaining why she decided it was time to leave the Food Network.

And I realized I couldn’t do both.

Giada De Laurentiis was one of the most recognized faces on the Food Network for a long time. Recently, the popular TV personality talked about why she left, along with the uncertainty that followed. So, what did she have to say?

Giada De Laurentiis Was A Staple On The Food Network

As longtime Food Network viewers know, Giada De Laurentiis was one of the faces of the network for a long time. Along with other Food Network icons like Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri, Emeril, and more, Giada was a big part of building the network into what it is today.

Her take on classic Italian recipes was a big hit with viewers from the very beginning. Eventually, this translated into travel shows, competition shows, and sitting on the judging panel as well. She was an instrumental part of the Food Network family, which only made her departure that much more shocking.

Giada De Laurentiis left the Food Network after 21 years and is not missing her old work schedule.

In a new interview, De Laurentiis reflects on what led her to leave the cable network after so long and focus on her lifestyle brand.

“I would switch gears without knowing it every seven years. So I did Everyday Italian for seven years. Then I got pregnant, and I was like ‘Ok I can’t do that show anymore. I got to do a reincarnation of the show because I’m now pregnant. I’m a different person,’” De Laurentiis said on Rebecca Minkoff’s podcast Superwomen.

De Laurentiis was one of the most recognizable faces on the Food Network and “was lucky enough to be at a period of time” at the network where she was able to make suggestions about her next projects.

“The landscape hadn’t really been fully discovered yet,...

Despite being fearful of saying farewell to Food Network after 21 years, Giada De Laurentiis‘s departure has brought her happiness and a feeling of fulfillment. The television host and chef personality cut ties with the network in February 2023 and signed a multi-year deal for unscripted series production with Amazon Studios. She has also been exploring entrepreneurial endeavors with her own lifestyle brand, Giadzy. Earlier this week, De Laurentiis sat down with Rebecca Minkoff on her podcast, Superwoman, to discuss why she ultimately decided to leave Food Network and how she has been changing things up since then. “I would switch gears without knowing it every seven years,” said De Laurentiis. “So I did Everyday Italian for seven years. Then I got pregnant, and I was like ‘Okay I can’t do that show anymore. I got to do a reincarnation of the show because I’m now pregnant. I’m a different person.

“The World Central Kitchen teams have been in Maui after the wildfires, the earthquakes in Morocco and now Afghanistan, aiding refugees in Armenia, and we continue to provide meals in hard-to-reach parts of Ukraine,” Andrés tells The Hollywood Reporter, adding that, “In each of these times of hardship, destruction and disaster what you also find is that the best of humanity shows up. I see this simple truth time and time again. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you believe, where you come from, in these moments of grief and great loss there is at the same time profound strength.”

Exclusive: Film Bridge International is launching sales at AFM on horror Xelter, whose producers include The De Laurentiis Company (Hannibal) and Head Gear Films (Talk To Me).

The period horror film directed by Martin Bonnici is currently in production in Malta, with a cast of Maltese newcomers alongside actors including Brit Bobby Schofield (The Covenant) and Irish actor Moe Dunford (Vikings).

The WWII-set movie charts the legend of the Babaw, a supernatural creature known for stalking and killing children. The film, inspired by true historical events, sees citizens of Malta take shelter from Nazi bombardment in the ancient catacombs underneath the cities, where they suffered deadly peril from collapsing tunnels and entrapment. That experience scarred a generation, and led to stories about creatures that stole children who strayed too far away from their parents.

Screenplay was written by Scottish screenwriter and comics writer Emma Beeby, based on a story Beeby wrote with Gordon Rennie.
