So pleased to see a new Giada De Laurentiis cookbook. I love Super Italian, the food is craveable. It’s definitely healthier book, but also definitely not a Diet book - it’s La Dolce Vita!
The previous healthy one from a few years ago, now looking backwards makes total sense, healing clean detox food, that Giada needed then to right her digestion and health. Whereas now, in a new chapter of her life, healed, she has more flow and is cooking more intuitively again. The recipes all look like something you’d want to eat. It’s just a real benefit that that they are indulgent with great ingredients.
Age wise I’m similar to Giada, and honestly I’m having problems with my tummy and digestion too. All stemming from not looking after myself properly. I look after and care for my family, it’s never really been even a side thought to do the same for me! Giada isn’t preachy in any way, but she tells her story and I can certainly identify with the things she describes, and now that this book is out I’m more inclined to look back to the previous one too.
The first two recipes I’ve tried are her Sicilian pesto which is then used in Sicilian pesto with prawns (shrimp) both pesto and pasta were delicious. Good, satisfying, but not heavy.
It’s been a while since Giada has written a new book, and she is back with a cracker! Really looking forward to cooking so many recipes from this new book and picking up some of Giada’s healthy tips and tricks along the way.
