Giada De Laurentiis recently launched the Italian lifestyle and e-commerce platform Giadzy.com, which showcases authentic Italian recipes, entertaining, travel and lifestyle tips, along with a breadth of pantry products from mostly family-owned producers whose goods are only available in certain regions of Italy.
"It doesn't get much more Milan than this - 10 Corso Como - is part-upscale shop, part-cafe, and part-bar. I loved wandering around and seeing all of the beautiful clothes and homeware (I'm still lusting after a crystal cake stand I saw when I was there). Once you've had your shopping fill, the light and airy restaurant is a great place to have a tasty little lunch. Oh, and order an espresso—they serve it with the most adorable tiny shortbread cookies I've ever seen."
"I think that it's really important that we start to think about the ingredients that we're putting in our bodies, where they come from and how clean they might be. That is sort of my main goal because Giadzy is also a wellness platform. We talk a lot about how these ingredients can benefit you."
