I know she knows nothing about true Italian cooking, but the day she said to add bottled ketchup to your meatball mixture, was the days she lost me. The hot dogs in the Italain potato salad were runner up! LOL! Heck I'm not even mentioning the Jarred spaghetti sauce...on an Italian cooking show, no less!
Her grandpas $ bought her a spot on TV. She failed at everything she tried before as it was 'too hard' or 'too much' for her...or her private clients got tired of her semi-homemade BS. When the other hosts are busting their butts cleaning up, prepping or hauling around huge pots of food, Giada excuses herself to "go change my out fit". She lives in a fantasy world. When pastry cheffing is "too hard" work for you, you need to forget about professional cooking. There is not much lighter work.
The reason not all of her ingredients are homemade is because a lot of her recipes are about saving time. If you need to be a snob about it, make your own.
They should rename her show "CleavageTown with Giada" which is basically what it is. Her shows are some of the few I find watchable on Food Network. Her and Alton Brown rock!
she uses the mixs becuz she has a kid and she knows you dont always have the time to make them yourself... alot of the people that watch these shows are moms its just to make it easier for them. she is a real chef..
@TeHbEsT3384 i see where you are coming from, and i agree with you, but i just wanted to point out that she had time to do her makeup and her hair, but didn't have time to cut out the chemicals they put in cake mix O.O

houchi! I JUST said that to my husband! This chick was going to be a pastry chef too!I dont like to be bitchy but I cant watch her show,its all about LOOK AT ME,we watch for the recipes! other cooks like Ina & Rachael are working thier butts off,lifting pots into oven that weigh ton, making 4 disahes at once. This gal is a "princess",never works too hard for sure. I'm Italian,her recipes are NOT authentic. I guess she figured out if she keeps her neckline low she'll be at least the men to watch.

I owndreed why she went to Cul school and never became a chef...did some personal chef stuff then TV. I see why now, she is NOT about hard work and pressure. If I see her make one more freakin "recipe" by smearing NUTella on some premade cake or one more toated ital bread with bits of soemthing on it, I think I will scream. I tune her in only for about 10 mins so I dont miss the start of Barefoot Contessa and can bearly get thru it. Many say they just cant watch her "performance"...I must agree.
she does things like that in interest of time. whenever she uses premade stuff or at least most of the time she sais something along the lines of "you can make your own, but it saves time doing it this way"
also why cirtisizing her? Im sure she dosent make all these alot of these are things the food network tells her to do, would you not do this for what she makes?
Narashava: No, the cook chooses thier own menus. I dont often comment but I do have a problem w/Giada. She's not really a cook, she just putters in the kitchen. Too much centered around toasting round of breads& making so called meals or dessrets from them. She does not really WORK like a cook should. Also she plays up the ITALIAN part. She has not got a clue about authentic Italian food why lie? The day my grandma or mom would put KETCHUP in meatballs or put HOTDOGS in our potato salad ,wow!
Narashava: MY grandmother is dead, thanks so much for your kindness! What on Earth would ever prompt you to be so hateful?... Nevermind, don't bother answering that.
I didnt know she was dead and I wasent being "hateful" Get your mother to apply then unless shes dead to. Im not trying to be a prick but obviously if shes on the food network then she has to have some credibility.
YO Patty: Tell the LIZARD that your mom and gram COULD have got a show on the food channel too IF thier GRANDFATHER was DINO DELAUNENTIS..how do you think SHE got hers, it sure wasnt cooking knowledge or ability. Miss Hollywood thinks if your ratings are low, you just hang mor boobs out. Its disgusting.
why are you watching this video then? It's pretty clear that she's the chef in the video. And since you know so much about cooking then why don't you work for foodnetwork; and if all she ever does it "toast bread" i'm pretty certain that she wouldn't be a chef let alone have a cooking show, and even if that were the case JUST KNOW THAT WHILE YOUR HATING ON HER SHE'S STILL GETTING PAYED!! (:
Mz: Lordi, Lordi, did I miss the election? Or were you just appointed the 16 yr old boss of Youtube?...Either you are not 16 or you're a drop out..it's 4:45 a m on a school day...go haunt a house someplace.
Go haunt a house or something". Seriously?!?? And I thought that I was the teenager; I'll remeber to pray for small-minded people like you, but anyway I'd prefer not to further dignify your fatuous, imperceptive comment with the response that it needs.
Once again, I thought I was the teenager. To say your a grown woman, you obviously have no life or anything better to do with your time to go back and forth with a sixteen year old.
okay i'm 16 and by now i know that if you have nothing good to say, then you shouldn't say anything at all. It makes a bit off sense that you tune in to her show during the last 10 minutes just to catch Barefoot Contessa on time, but if you don't like her, then why are watching videos of her on youtube?
@happy2bUSA Wowwww you must really have no life to be on here watching her videos, when you say you dont like her, youare some kind of weirdo!! You actually search her on here??!!! And then have the Damn nerve to leave your so called opinion, Yeah I bet youstar at gher cleavage too, you lesbo!!, and your hubby prob does too!!

happy2bUSA & houchi69, you both are right! One time i was looking at her show and she made raspberry brownies and when she pulled out some brownie mix & a jar of raspberry jelly, i was soooo disappointed. Im not watching her to cook some pre-made crap in a box i could just read the box instructions for that! If shes on the food network cooking like that then they should hire me=/
So i guessing you obviously don't work for food network. lmao...and if the last statement you said were true, then you would probably be working for food network. (:
