Like many other chefs in the business, Giada De Laurentiis hasn’t just shown her culinary skills on camera. Over the course of her career, Giada has also put pen to paper and provided her fans with various cookbooks.
In fact, she has released eight cooking books since 2005, with many of them outlining her Italian heritage and Italian cuisine. Impressively, Giada at Home and Weeknights with Giada have both reached the number one top spot in the New York Times Best Seller List.

Yet, Giada hasn’t just achieved two number one best-selling books. Thanks to her time on the Food Network, she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award as an Outstanding Lifestyle Host and for a Gracie Award as the Best Television Host… and won both times!
As if this wasn’t enough to skyrocket her popularity, fame, and fortune, Giada de Laurentiis was also inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame in 2012, something many budding chefs only dream of achieving.
