Giada De Laurentiis Doesn't Want to Judge Your Cooking
From the moment she wakes up, Giada De Laurentiis is thinking about numbers. The first thing she does is check reports on her four restaurants from the night before. Then she puts on a pedometer to track the 8,000 steps she aims to get that day. Despite initial concerns from her film producer grandfather Dino De Laurentiis, the four-time Emmy winner rose to fame as one of the most prominent faces on early-2000s Food Network. Her first show, 'Everyday Italian,' premiered in 2003. 'When I started at Food Network, chefs weren't stars,' she says. 'All of a sudden we became these icons that nobody could have predicted.'

Watch: Giada De Laurentiis leads kitchen reno in Prime Video special
1 of 3 | Giada De Laurentiis arrives on the red carpet for the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2019. She will host an upcoming Prime Video special. File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis will help gift a family the kitchen of their dreams in her Prime Video special Giada in My Kitchen, due June 23. In a trailer released Tuesday, De Laurentiis, 54, discusses her upcoming show near a fireplace. "I think I know a thing or two about setting up a great kitchen," the celebrity chef and former Food Network star said. "So many cooks are stuck with a kitchen that isn't working for them." That will change by the end of the special -- De Laurentiis will partner with Erik Garcia to renovate the space. "A great kitchen should feel like a dance -- everything in its place, just where you need it," she told People. "...I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space." Giada left Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades, hosting such shows as Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada's Weekend Getaways.
