I just adore Giada De Laurentis. Okay, I actually love saying of her name...
Giada...De...Lauren...tis
...sounds so, you know, Under the Tuscan Sun-ish
Never mind, the woman can whip up an authentic Italian dinner, while making it look easy enough for even us wannabe home cooks to prepare AND eat it, too -- staying in such great shape, not so much!
Although, I have it on good authority (i.e. someone who actually had lunch with her) that the woman really does eat :(
On January 10th, my favorite store (say it with me) Tar-shay introduced a line of cookware created by none other than (one more time) Giada...De...Lauren...tis and they thought that I might like to share a sneak peek at Giada's Look Book and, well, I also have a question for you!
Wanna take a look?
The Original Green Pan: Need your help - have you ever heard of it, do you have one and, if so, does it really work?
We're in between cooking sets, at the moment. My husband, Garth [not his real name] bought one of those Green Pans at Target, a few weeks ago (you know, the non-stick, good for you and the earth set that Todd English pimps on HSN) and, well, judging by all the negative customer reviews on their site, we're holding off on buying a whole set, until we beat the heck out of the pan we've got, a little while longer.
However, IMO, I love the look of enameled cast iron, but my husband is thinking about the reliability of investing in professional grade stainless steel cookware.
Or, perhaps we should just hire a personal chef from the Food Network (that doesn't look like Giada, I mean) and yeah, right, good luck with that one, I know!
In the meantime, I am totally coveting the Cast Iron Covered Braiser (pictured above) but, Giada's new Target line also features bakeware, appliances food products and a large assortment of cool tools and gadgets (YAY!)
Plus, Giada's Look Book includes a couple of yummy recipes thrown in (like, a wicked looking Chocolate and Brie Panini) thrown in for good measure.

So, yeah, I need your opinions, but I'm also keeping an eye out for Giada's stuff at Target (released throughout January, February and March) and just thought you might like a look, too!
