Summary
- Fellow chefs offered Giada De Laurentiis comfort food advice.
- Her daughter Jade inspired her to join Dancing with the Stars.
- De Laurentiis begins competition on Tuesday, September 15.
As Giada De Laurentiis prepares for her "Dancing with the Stars" debut, she's receiving a unique brand of culinary advice from her peers. Chefs Guy Fieri, Alex Guarnaschelli, Sunny Anderson, Katie Lee Biegel, Michael Symon, and Rocco DiSpirito have offered tips on what to eat before hitting the dance floor.
Fieri suggested staying calm and perhaps enjoying a drink, while Guarnaschelli recommended pan-fried spaghetti as a comforting dish, drawing from De Laurentiis' Italian heritage. DiSpirito, a former contestant, advised light carb-loading to maintain energy without feeling weighed down, comparing it to marathon training.
De Laurentiis, who is partnered with Alan Bersten, revealed that her daughter Jade inspired her to join the show. This decision stems from a desire to push her own boundaries after dropping Jade off at college, encouraging both mother and daughter to embrace new challenges.
The "Dancing with the Stars" season 35 premiere is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15. De Laurentiis joins a diverse cast of actors, athletes, and reality stars vying for the Mirrorball Trophy.
