Meet Giada De Laurentiis, "New York Times Bestselling Author"

Time: Friday, April 20, 2007 2:00 PM
Location: Books Inc. at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, 157 Stanford Shopping Center, 650-321-0600

New York Times bestselling author GIADA DE LAURENTIIS, star of Food Network's Everyday Italian and Behind the Bash will sign her new book Everyday Pasta that proves that with a few basics from the fridge and the pantry, you're never more than minutes away from dinner!

Yeah, you read that correctly. The press release describes her as an author first, then as a television personality. Now, we heart Giada as much as the next Italian guy, but to describe her as such seems a bit farfetched, kind of like saying Lindsay Lohan is known for her acting ability. In all seriousness though, Giada's cookbooks are usually pretty great and she's one of the only Food TV stars worth meeting in person, so we see no reason to skip this event, especially if you happen to be in the area.
