There's nothing quite like a poolside cocktail party with live music and amazing food. Giada takes the "exotic" up a notch by making this summer fancy a Moroccan- themed gathering, timed perfectly for sunset.

Giada is inspired to throw a sushi making party at home, and invites a few friends over to hang out in the kitchen and make their own rolls. They make a Fun Salmon Hand Roll, Vegetable Rolls With Chili Mayonnaise and a Crab, Avocado and Mango Roll.

Giada prepares brunch for a day at a polo match at Will Rogers State Park. Giada's brunch menu is practical for any outdoor spectator event - portable, colorful and flavorful, but still on the healthy side.
