Giada De Laurentiis may have left Food Network after 21 years, but she’s happier than ever right where she is.
The television chef, who cut ties with Food Network in February 2023, has moved on to explore her entrepreneurial side at her own lifestyle brand, Giadzy. During an interview on the Superwomen podcast with Rebecca Minkoff, De Laurentiis opened up about how she decided to shake things up.
“I would switch gears without knowing it every seven years. So I did Everyday Italian for seven years. Then I got pregnant, and I was like ‘Okay I can’t do that show anymore. I got to do a reincarnation of the show because I’m now pregnant. I’m a different person,’” she said.
At that time, she had free rein to decide her next project at the major lifestyle network.
“I was lucky enough to be at a period of time at Food Network where that was okay and they were open to those kinds of suggestions because the landscape hadn’t really been fully discovered yet, and so I think they were just more open to the talent,” she said.
