Giada prepares food for a bridal shower she is co-hosting for a close friend. Instead of the typical mini-sandwiches, cake and punch, she offers a unique menu that is both playful and unexpected ... plus some decorating tips and thoughtful gift ideas for the bride to be. On the menu are Open-Faced Tuna Sandwiches With Arugula and Sweet-Pickle Mayonnaise, White Bean and Roasted Eggplant Hummus and Coffee-Glazed Zeppole.

Giada and Todd set out together for a day outdoors, on a day-hike. Giada goes to Adventure 16 to gear up, and then prepares the food that she'll pack for their hike. Giada makes food that's as lightweight and produces as little garbage as possible, making Homemade Cranberry Nut Granola, Grilled Vegetable, Herb and Goat Cheese Sandwiches and Chocolate Raspberry Bars with White Chocolate and Almonds.

Giada transforms part of her home into a gallery for one night to host an art show and display the work of one of her artist friends, Darren Quinn. Giada's party menu will be as colorful as the paintings, but also easy to eat since guests will be mingling and viewing art. Darren lives on Maui so the party decor will have a Hawaiian feel to set the mood and accent his artwork.
