I always say to people that working full time and being a mom is probably the hardest job, because as a mom you think about your child 24/7.

I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.

It's almost ingrained in people that, just like you can't be a smart model, you can't be a good-looking cook.

I grew up in the kitchen, mostly with my grandfather, my mother and my aunt Raffy.

I'm most comfortable in T-shirts, but they have to have some style to them.
