Here is her recipe for Strawberry short cake..which I saw on an episode on Food Network
She bought store made muffins...sliced them....then "whipped cream" n mixed strwaberry jam n diced strawberries n put this mixture between the cake slices...and voila its done!

lol i agree. Me and my family calls her "big head"
you could have baked the biscuits from scratch, she just took a short cut, all cooks do it when they can.....i dont think shes over-rated, i've made some of her recipies and they came out great.
to tell you the truth they cut time frm the show so sometimes her food doesnt make sense because they didnt put that part on the show.
so try not to get the recipes from t.v just looked them up on the internet =]]
Uhhhhh, she is cute. Giada usually puts a lot of effort into her main dish...maybe she ran out of time. I would not have used muffins...better choice would have been angel food cake...I loved it when she went to the Parma factory! Are you sure it wasnt semi-homemade lady?
Give her another chance? =)
I completely agree with you. She is totally overrated. If you notice during her shows they always do a close up on her hands adding ingredients to whatever she is making. I am starting to think she only got a show because of her looks. Also I saw some highlights from a food network event they had in Colorado not too long ago. She was on stage trying to make something. The water wouldnt boil because of the altitude and she just left the stage and went to another tent to sign books.
I think she doesnt even know how to cook. She is more of a pretty face and a travel agent than a cooking expert.
Personally, I like her. Maybe she was showing how easy and elegant a simple dessert can be. Some people don't think of things like that. They think its not a great dessert if they don't have to slave in the kitchen.
By the way, if you don't like Giada because of that, stay away from Sandra Lee's Semi Homemade :o)
she hot,let's face it ,that's why she is on.she better than watching the "2 fat ladies" sweat all over their food.
giada has some great gam gams,we like 'em.
edit
lololo.....why do you think they always do close ups of her hands????..lol
it's a close up alright.
Giada De Laurentiis
