Giada De Laurentiis and her daughter, Jade, fly a kite on the beach while Giada's husband, Todd, enjoys the water kite surfing. Todd joins the girls and they share an elegant picnic dinner. Giada makes Gruyere and Spinach Bakes, Orzo With Artichoke Pesto and Grilled Corn and, for dessert, Strawberry and Lemon Meringue Clouds.

In a one-hour "Giada at Home" special, Giada De Laurentiis gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the polo luncheon she catered for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their California visit and prepares a royal lunch at home for her friends who attended the event. The menu features Frico Cups with Shrimp and Avocado, Grilled Vegetable Towers and Chicken and Crunchy Slaw in Endive Spears, as well as Prosecco and Scotch Whiskey Juleps.

Giada De Laurentiis celebrates America with a delicious summertime menu. She hosts a festive backyard bash with Smoky Pork Burgers with Apple-Onion Chutney, Chicken Sausage Skewers, and Blueberry and Peach Crumb Pie.
