Ok, Rachel Ray, blah blah balh....WHO IS that Italian chick?

[chickenscratching]

Who doesn't have a native accent but says every damn Italian word relating to food like Italian is going outta style?
like" let's eat the andoullliieeee sausage" "now take your parmejeeanaaaaa and sprinkle it on the Linguiiiiiiniiii. Doesn't this look yummy?"

picture :cute little homemaker (mid-west kinda accent), who somehow slips in "doesn't this look delicious?" about 8,000 times.

I can't find out who she is, or remember her name. any help? (i think

she's on the food network)

Thanks modem butterfly! She is Giana De Laurentiis

2. Giada de Laurentis

And she has that accent because she grew up in Rome. She has dual citizenship in Italy and the States. She's also suffering from hydroencephaly, so please be a little sensitive, 'k?

5. Lynn Rosetto Casper from "Splendid Table" on NPR?

She also mispronounces "shallots" and "marinade", too, if that makes any difference.

11. Giada is Dino de Laurentiis' daughter. Or granddaughter. Or something.

Whatever, she's quite a looker; and she can cook.

[chickenscratching]

12. agreed

I've seen her cook some pretty mean tenderloin. IF ya know what i mean.

i just can't stand her delivery, perhaps it would help if I wasn't such an asshole? :shrug:
