.....Watcha got Cooking?


Two new discoveries (for me) on the Food Network: Nigella Lawson and Giada De Laurentiis are adding both class and beauty along with great cooking tips to my little life.
Nigella Lawson, daughter of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Lawson, studied Modern Languages at Oxford University, and was the Literary Editor of the Sunday Times, among other things, before breaking some eggs. She is the author of "How to be a Domestic Goddess" and "How to Eat," among other works, and is currently the host of "Nigella Feasts" on the Food Network. The widow of British journalist John Diamond, she is married to famed art collector and advertising magnate Charles Saatchi.
Giada De Laurentiis is the granddaughter of film producer Dino De Laurentiis and Italian actress Silvana Mangano. She was somewhat pushed by her illustrious family, but she showed no interest in entering the film business, although apparently genes will out, as she ended up in front of the camera eventually. She graduated from UCLA and studied cooking at Le Cordon Bleu. Married to Anthropologie designer Todd Thompson, she is the author as well as the host of "Everyday Italian" on the Food Network.

How is it that Giada is soooo incredibly skinny? Do you think it's genes, or do you think she's using the chew and spit method?
