Food Network Celebrity Chefs Dish


ina.jpgPopular Food Network celebrity chefs Giada De Laurentiis, Emeril Lagasse and Ina Garten took a break from their busy schedules for an article in the August issue of Ladies Home Journal.  Here’s an inside peek at what they had to say:

What Food Can’t You Live Without in Summer?
Giada: “Lots of oranges and lemon, which I zest or squeeze over pastas and salads - phenomenal!”

Emeril: “When I was a kid, my dad and I would buy 20, 30 ears of corn from a farm stand and come home for a corn boil.  Now my kids love corn, too.”

Ina: “I’d have to say basil.  I could eat tomato, mozzarella and basil Caprese salad daily.”

Favorite Tunes to Crank Up While Cooking
Giada: “Blues/rock artist John Mayer, though my husband will put on high-energy Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

Emeril: “We’re a music family, not a TV family - except during football season!  So we listen to everything, but mostly New Orleans jazz like Jeremy Davenport and Harry Connick, Jr.”

Ina: “Hotel Costes’ sleek, mellow compilations.”
