Giada's Holiday Handbook

Live Well Party

Giada hosts a formal brunch for her family on Christmas day, with a California twist; her menu includes beef tenderloin with scallion salsa verde, a crab and artichoke frittata, olive biscuits and a decadent chocolate panettone sformato for dessert.

Italian Christmas Brunch

Giada is on a mission to recreate a family holiday recipe called miracle rice with her Aunt Raffy; the dish reflects generations of stories and memories; they also create a simple sorbet before ending the night with a grab-bag gift exchange.

Giada and Raffy's Christmas Miracle

Giada De Laurentiis and her daughter, Jade, host a holiday party for friends; Jade helps prepare the menu, prep for the party and plan the activity of making homemade Christmas gifts for a teacher; the menu is a gourmet twist on kid favorites.
