I Have Been Blessed With A Good,

Many Chefs Of A Certain Caliber Do Not See Me As A Chef. I Don't Have A Restaurant. They See Me As A Tv Food Personality, Not A Chef. I've Gotten Respect, Trust Me, They Respect Me, But I Think That I Can't Hit That Particular Level Of Respect From Them Until I Have A Successful Vegas Restaurant That Not Only Makes Money But Creates Unbelievable Food And A Fabulous Experience. I Don't Think People Think I Can Cook, And They Don't Think I Know What The Hell I'm Doing.

It Will Be A Great Success To Me If My Family Comes Into The Restaurant And Says That They're Proud Of What I've Done, They're Proud Of The Way I've Represented The De Laurentiis Name, And That They Love My Food. That Is The Moment Of Pure Pride For Me.

All Men Want To Be Treated Like Kings In A Relationship, And I Think If Women Don't Indulge That Sometimes, Their Men Are Likely To Stray And Look For Someone Who Can Give That To Them.

I Think It Can Be Hard For Any Man To Sometimes Be Upstaged By His Wife. So When I'm Home, I Work Very Hard To Be Todd's Wife And Jade's Mother. I Have No Problem Going Back To Those Traditional Roles. I Try To Be Giada, The Young Girl That He Met 20 Years Ago And Fell In Love With.

I Always Say To People That Working Full Time And Being A Mom Is Probably The Hardest Job, Because As A Mom You Think About Your Child 24/7.
