I've been tuning into Everyday Italian and Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network. I get a fair amount of ideas from both shows. I am struck, however, at how radically disparate the hosts are, despite cooking very similar dishes.
Giada De Laurentis, with her model looks and omnipresent cleavage, puts sugar, cheese and bread in almost every dish. She can't weigh more than 95 lbs. Ina, with her haughty accent and monotone shirts, is also heavy on the sugar, cheese and bread. Ina resembles a weather balloon. Both of these women tuck into their dishes (Giada moans and rolls her eyes to show you how freaking good her food is) and clearly like to eat, so what gives with the drastic weight difference?
Post-filming puking by Ms. De Laurentis, perhaps?
Just because they only come every four years...

Giada is a freak of nature. She has a gigantic head, almost cartoon like. I have no complaints about Ina except that she try mixing up the wardrobe a bit.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the happy medium, Nigella Lawson?
It's all about portion control and exercise but I wouldn't be surprised is Giada starved herself for a day or two before taping a show.
