Giada hosts a backyard party for her friends and their kids. The menu appeals to grown-ups but offers a kid friendly twist with Grilled Cheese With Spinach and Pancetta, Fish Sticks With Marinara Sauce and Berry Lemonade. The party culminates with a cake decorating contest that gives each kid the chance to transform an ordinary pound cake into a spectacular, sweet, multi-tiered, out of this world dessert.

Giada invites some friends over for a signature cocktail, fun appetizers AND a blank canvas. Each guests gets their own easel and blank canvas to create a masterpiece while they enjoy Giada's deliciously creative menu of Curried Couscous Salad, Spicy Chicken Tenders With Honey-Mustard and Vodka Mojitos. An artist friend is on hand to offer tips, encouragement and creative inspiration.

The De Laurentiis family gathers for an epic family feast. Only, this time, instead of the expected Italian cuisine, Giada serves up another family favorite...Chinese.
