"Giada de Laurentiis is known for her dazzling smile, her cookbooks - including " Super-Italian" and " Eat Better, Feel Better" - and for making beautifully plated, Italian-inspired meals on her TikTok and Instagram channels. As an Italian-American, she uses a wide variety of produce in her recipes, and watching her cook is often an inspiration to try new ingredients. However, she is only human, and, of course, she has a few foods that you won't find on her personal dinner plan, even if she cooks them for other people."
"With most of these items, it is not about being fussy or unadventurous. Instead, Giada listens to her body and avoids foods that she believes aren't a good fit. Of course, in some cases, she just has a downright and quite aggressive dislike for them - hello, cauliflower rice."
"Given her Mediterranean heritage, it may surprise you to find out that one of the main foods on Giada De Laurentiis' no-go list is bell peppers. While many of us dislike bitter green peppers, but enjoy the much sweeter, red, yellow, and orange peppers, Giada admits that she just doesn't eat them in any form, period. Like a few of the foods on this list, the main reason Giada avoids them isn't so much that she dislikes them, but, as she explains in an interview with Eating Well, "I stay away from peppers partly because they don't like me." Luckily for Giada, other similar fruits and veggies that are members of the nightshade family, such as Italian favorites zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes, don't seem to disagree with her, so bell peppers are the only ones that need to stay off her plate."
