Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Giada de Laurentiis came from a big family, and they would all get together on Sundays as she was growing up. The dinner table would be packed not with 8 or 10 people, but with 15, 20 or even more. To feed that many hungry people, everyone in her family relied on relatively simply Italian fare that could feed a crowd, and Giada carries that same feeling over into Giada's Family Dinners. The recipes in the book are easy to read and well-presented, making it suitable for experienced and novice cooks alike. There are dishes that even picky eaters will enjoy, like Chicken Carbonara and Ravioli with Creamy Tomato sauce, because the book is not about the super-gourmet dishes that will only be appreciated by culinary experts. Most are scaled to produce quite a lot of food, so you might want to experiment with freezing leftovers or simply plan to get lunches for a few days when you make a big batch of pasta or soup. The desserts, however, you'll want to eat right away; it's hard enough to wait until the end of the meal to dig into desserts like Chocolate Pizza and Nectarine and Blueberry Crisp .

Granted she smiles way to big, but the girl knows what she's doing in the kitchen.
