Whenever I’m awake till the wee hours, I would always try to watch or record Giada De Laurentiis cooking program. She is also E granddaughter of film producer Dino De Laurentiis. Giada cooks simple but yummy looking Italian cuisine! She never failed to make me hungry at 4am! She was trained at Ritz Carlton Fine Dining apparently.
I love Italian food but at times E ingredients ain’t that easily obtainable. Cold storage is quite good though! Giada recipes are easy to understand and cook. I’ve already tried 3 recipes and they turned out pretty nice. Sharing 1 of her recipe. I mostly stir fry my mushrooms. It was interested to grill the mushrooms instead. Texture was different.
