Giada in Italy

Most of the recipes look tantalizingly delicious. The Italian scenery is, of course, breathtaking.

Giada is her usual upbeat self. My only complaint: that aunt of hers is such an unpleasant sourpuss, cannot stand her. This woman complains about everything and it ruins the show for me: I change the channel when she's on.

I actually watch this just for the beautiful scenery and the dresses she wears. Can't stand her other shows unless Aunt Raffy is in it. (They're great for a drinking game. Take a drink every time she says "you just kind of like..." ) Otherwise her recipes are pretty much a joke. She keeps making the same things over and over again for the past 15 years. Why hasn't anyone realized this yet? And by the way, I love Aunt Raffy. I am always happy to see her in an episode.

You gotta love Aunt Raffy for standing up to Giada.

The beauty needs a beast to ease the cheese factor.

Love the interaction between them too, they're like siblings that love each other deep down but can't stand each other in everyday life.

Together with information about Italy and the food makes it great.
