Giada: Friend or Foe?

Okay, I’m curious: What do you guys think of Giada De Laurentiis? I want to like her, but I don’t know if I trust her.

Like, if I met her on the street, I would never believe she loves food. Do you think she actually eats the food she cooks on her show? I know she tries a bite and pretends to be in heaven — but is it real??

I ask because tonight, I’m planning on trying one of her recipes: Italian Wedding Soup. When wedding soup is done right, it’s SO hearty and delicious. But it can also be bland and shallow-tasting. Her recipe got absolutely rave reviews, so I’m curious to try it… And I’ll definitely report back.

In the mean time, here are some other recipes of hers that look respectable:

• Chicken Tetrazzini
• Roman-Style Chicken
  
• Veggie Meatloaf with Checca Sauce
  
• Salmon in Lemon Brodetto with Pea Puree
• Mussels, Clams, and Shrimp in Spicy Sauce

So, have you cooked any of Giada’s recipes? How are they?
