'''Shows she's hosted:'''
* ''Everyday Italian''
* ''Behind the Bash''
* ''Giada's Weekend Getaways''
* ''Giada in Paradise'' Two specials actually. The first one, a few years ago, involved her going to the Greek island of Santorini (aka where the legend of {{Atlantis}} may have been inspired from) and the Italian island of Capri. The second one, from 2012, sees her going to Tahiti.
* ''Series/TheNextFoodNetworkStar'': She became a mentor in Season 6 and a judge as of Season 7
* ''[[Series/{{Today}} The Today Show]]'': Not actually an official host, but she does show up as the resident culinary expert.

----
!!This TV chef contains examples of:

* FoodPorn: Her shows are known for their appetizing shots of pastries baking in the oven, sped up so that they appear to bake right before your eyes, and for glamorous shots of all the food in general. Giada's orgasmic reactions upon eating the food (''especially'' if it contains mascarpone cheese) just drives the point in further.
* GenkiGirl: When she's excited about something, she tends to get ''really'' excited.
* TravelogueShow: ''Giada's Weekend Getaways'' and ''Giada in Paradise.''
