Everyday Italian dishware


One of our most popular posts is the one I wrote many moon ago about Giada De Laurentiis. I'm sure most of the popularity of the post has to do with her attractive appearance (In fact, I imagine if I somehow wrote a post that talked about a recipe she and Jamie Oliver worked on and put "Giada de Laurentiis" and "Naked Chef" in close proximity, I might see our traffic increase tenfold. But of course I won't stoop to that). But some people are not interested in this elfin Italian chef. These people are wild for her ceramics.

The bowls and plates Giada uses on "Everyday Italian" are rustic looking in that "Wow, I bet that simple peasant china is really, really expensive" way. They photograph very well. We had a couple of questions and some answers to the comments in that original Giada post about her ceramics. I decided to go straight to the hors d'oeuvres mouth to get the skinny.

Via e-mail, I asked the Everyday Italian producers about the china she uses on the show, and after about three weeks, I got a response back from Food Network Viewer Services. According to the e-mail I received, the dishes used on the show are all from Vietri.

Food Network's terse reply in toto was:

Cucina Fresca Dinnerware, Canisters and Baking Dishes (all the cream, sage, yellow color ceramic ware… the little tasting dishes, oval gratin dishes with the handles, coffee pot, creamer, butter dish, espresso cups, ceramic strainer)
Cioccolata Dinnerware (chocolate colored dishes)
Paesano Dinnerware and Mugs (yellow platters and mugs with design)
Chiaroscuro Dinnerware and Baking Dishes (black and gray baking dishes)
Vietri

(800) 277-5933
www.vietri.com

Nice stuff. So nice that a large dinner plate is $34.95 and that individual pasta bowl that shows up so much on the show is $24.95 at replacements.com. Ouch. Not completely insane, like Limoges, but pricy stuff for everyday dinnerware.

Of course buying a full set for your kitchen will make you just like Giada. And really, how can you put a price on that?

I suspect that your traffic would skyrocket more if you mentioned the Naked Chef with Italian model Gaia de Laurentis (with one "i"), whom most of those visitors to the other post are probably looking for in the first place...

Hi does anyone know where Giada got the cutting board that she uses??? Please help me find this.

Posted by Bonnie on February 25, 2005 at 8:10 AM

You can always use the method that I did to obtain a full set of Vietri dishware: get married and register for it! :)

Posted by s'kat on February 25, 2005 at 12:46 PM

Well, ONE could certainly get married and register for the dishes but I've already used up that opportunity.

And I think my wife might object to me starting a harem for the sake of dishware.

Posted by barrett on February 25, 2005 at 1:01 PM

Hi Barrett,

You could always try eBay...there is a set of four dinner plates listed currently, with a starting bid of $9.99. You might just end up getting a great deal!

Posted by Moira on February 25, 2005 at 5:53 PM

She's no everyday Italian Dish, that's for sure.

(checks facts)

She's not wearing dishes, either.

Posted by Bryan on February 25, 2005 at 5:54 PM

Bonnie - through the magic of e-mail, I received the following from Food Network regarding GDL's cuttign boards:

Walnut wood cutting board
Narrow walnut and cherry wood cutting boards
Various Wood Utensils

Note: The large, thin, rustic cutting board is an antique.

Does anyone know where I could get her oval measuring cups?

Posted by Hitomi on March 16, 2005 at 7:05 AM

Are you referring to the narrow measuring spoons that can fit into herb and spice containers?

Here's a URL for a site for the measuring spoons I think that she's used:

Sorry, that was the wrong one. Here it is:

Posted by debris on March 16, 2005 at 6:56 PM

Ah, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's noticed her dishes too. I wonder if Vietri's sales have increased since her show. I noticed that she's not using them much, or rather they're not as prominent in her newer shows.

Here are a few sites that sell Vietri. If you live in the Minneapolis area, Ampersand is the place to get them. They've got almost the full line in-house, particularly the Edina store, which is really nice cuz then you can pick and choose which one you like, since they're not factory made, so each one is a bit different.

http://evropashop.com/vietri_cucina_fresca.htm

http://www.plumpuddingkitchen.com/

http://www.ampersandshops.com/location.php

The Ampersand store in Edina at 50th and France will be moving to the Galleria at the end of March. The Wayzata store didn't have as much of a variety in-house as the Edina store. I hope the Galleria store will have as much room for their Vietri. If they don't have a particular piece in the store, they are happy to order for you.

Posted by debris on March 16, 2005 at 7:14 PM

Sorry, I'm bombarding this site with multiple posts. The particular dish I'm curious about is the bowl that's featured in the opening segment for her show when the shows opening theme music is played. It's a white circular bowl. The edges seem to go up at a right angle to the base and then flair or curve out a bit at the tip. I think there's an artichoke in the bowl during this segment. I've seen her use it on her shows, too. Wondering if the chef or anyone knows the maker of this bowl?

Another question: do you think it's Giada's personal dinnerware/tableware used on the show? (I noticed she's using a lot of Heath ceramics in her newer shows.) If so, I think she has excellent taste.

Posted by debris on March 16, 2005 at 7:21 PM

so so so happy i found out she uses Vietri!! have been looking all over for dishes like that and none come close. does anyone know (according to the older shows in the original kitchen of Giada) if the dishes that she eats her measly portions out of right after she finishes cooking are the Vietri tiny AU GRATIN dishes?

Posted by melissa on March 28, 2005 at 9:38 PM

hi does anyone know where giada gets her olive oil bottles with the cork spouts? i LOVE them!!

also, does she eat out of the au gratin dish from Vietri after she makes her meal and tries it out for the viewer?

Posted by melissa on March 28, 2005 at 11:08 PM

Yes, she uses the gratin dishes as her tasting dish. They have the little "ears" on both ends. The other dish she uses to taste is the salad plate, which is 7" in diameter. The salad plates are recessed from the sides, so in a sense they are slightly deep, like the gratin dishes too, probably by 3/4 to an inch deep. I like that. I've got these plates in saffron/cream. They are great snack or dessert plates. Have used them occasionally for salad. Strawberries look fantastic against the saffron color.

Posted by debris on March 29, 2005 at 10:42 PM

Does anyone know what type of measuring spoons she uses. I am referring to the ones that are white with a blue outline. Are they porcelin?

Posted by Gretchen on April 4, 2005 at 4:51 PM

Answering to Melissa's question, Giada gets her oilive oil bottles and cork spouts at Olivers & Co. ( O&Co.) I have those too and they are so elegant. The cork spout works great.

Now, Gretchen, you can get her porcelain measuring spoons at Fantes.com. Giada's oval stainless steel measuring cup also comes from there.

Posted by Hitomi on April 6, 2005 at 9:43 AM

thank you hitomi and debris- your info is so helpful!! now i hope i don't sound too fanatical- but has anyone noticed in her new kitchen she uses these sleek bowls and platters that are dual-toned; one is pale biscuit-yellow on inside and white outside and the bowl is a deep mauve inside and white outside....anyone have info where those are from? thanks everyone- you rock!!

Posted by melissa on April 11, 2005 at 1:18 PM

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who admires her cookware and wants to know where she gets it. I've already done the research, so I will pass it along: the dual-tone tableware is from Heath Ceramics. The large shallow bowl is Spring on the inside and Linen on the outside. They sell some of their selection on their website

www.heathceramics.com/shopheath.html

but not in all colors. (I know all of this because I'm asking for this very bowl for my birthday) and given my husband specific instructions :)

I think you'll see the other deeper bowl on the website too. I had to download the PDFs of the catalogs to get a listing of all their colors.

Posted by debris on April 12, 2005 at 9:43 PM

yes melissa, those dishes come from Davistudio. They are hand made and believe it or not, more expensive than Vietri. They come in many different colors and patterns, although some of the colors Giada has are not available online.

Posted by Hitomi on April 13, 2005 at 8:22 AM

Yes melissa, those dishes come from Davistudio. They are all hand made and believe it or not more expensive than vietri. I love those dishes too. They come is different colors and patterns, but some of the colors Giada has on her show are not available online.

Posted by Hitomi on April 15, 2005 at 8:42 AM

Melissa, I think the new sleek dual-tone dishes you are referring to come from Heath Ceramics. The bowl you mentioned is the very one I'm asking for my birthday! It's the shallow salad bowl in Spring/Linen. That particular color can only be ordered over the phone to their factory store in Sausilito, CA. You can order only a few items over the website and not in all the colors. I had to download the PDFs to see all the colors that are available. I actually called Heath's factory store, to make sure the "Spring" was the yellow...and it is. Their website is www.heathceramics.com.

Posted by debris on April 15, 2005 at 8:13 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find the glass spice jars she uses on the show? Thanks!

Posted by Marilee on April 20, 2005 at 4:43 PM

Hi Marilee, I think you can find them on fantes.com. Thanks to the other people for being so helpful :)) Hey debris, do you know which specific color from Heath Ceramics is the one that's white outside and this pale mocha taupe inside?

Posted by melissa on April 21, 2005 at 4:00 PM

Hi Melissa, I am pretty sure that the dishes you were talking about come from Davistudio, and not from Heath Ceramics. This is an e-mail I received from Food Network in response to the same question you asked about the dual-toned dishes. Here was their response:

There are four distinct pottery lines we use on the series:

Davistudio - these dishes have a cream/white exterior and a colored interior - including colors in taupe, pale green, yellow and brown. We do have some with a white interior as well. Shapes are various bowls and oval platters. Also white pitcher with a green or taupe interior

Vietri - rustic yellow, green, cream and chocolate colored chargers, various plate sizes, pitchers and ceramic canisters (where we hold flour and sugar). This line also makes the yellow pottery with the flowers/birds as a design - mugs, pitchers and oval platters.

Cote Table - dishes have a distinct ruffled edge. Colors are pink, cream, lavender. Shapes are rectangular, square, round and oval

Malmaison - colors are pink, taupe, cream. Shapes are bowls and chargers/plates. There is one pink gravy boat with dish


Posted by Hitomi on April 21, 2005 at 11:17 PM

Hi Melissa, I looked at the spice jars on the fantes website and I don't think those are the same. I guess I will keep looking and thank you for your help!

Posted by Marilee on April 22, 2005 at 1:44 AM

hey hitomi thanks again so much for the info. by the way, what is a "charger" exactly? im astonished at how much the dishes from davistudio are yikes! and this whole time i thought those bowls and platters came from nicole farhi home..... has anyone gotten her dvd set yet? im receiving my double set on monday- SO excited- heard it's 2nd and 3rd season :)

Posted by melissa on April 23, 2005 at 1:02 PM

After looking at the davisstudio website, I have a hard time believing that the wide low bowl and other tableware used on the show is from there. The color and finish of their dishes are very bright and glossy, whereas the sleek dualtone tableware used on the show are flat and muted.

I still think the dishes come from Heath Ceramics. I've emailed the food network with a question before and I got an answer that didn't at all answer my initial question, so now I'm suspicious of their information.

However, there is a wrench in my theory. My husband called Heath to order the bowl in Spring/Linen for my birthday, but they don't make the bowl in that color. Maybe they did at one point, I don't know, but I should ask. Unfortunately, if I want the yellow color, which I do, I have to get it with the French Grey, which I don't like. I declined the bowl for my birthday. It could be that they do use this bowl on the show and what is appearing to be a light beige color because of all the lighting is really the french grey. I might do some research and ask Heath directly if they have provided tableware/dishes to Everyday Italian. I swear I've seen this low salad bowl in the same colors on 30 Minute Meals, too.

The pitchers that Giada uses are also of the shape that Heath offers. However, I don't see a dualtone in a pale mocha taupe with white on the outside. The color that seems closest to the pale mocha taupe is the matte brown, but it doesn't seem to come dualtoned.

To answer the question about the charger plate: A charger plate is larger than a dinner plate but is smaller than a platter. It is mostly used in formal table settings. The charger plate is placed at each place setting, but food is never placed directly on it. A charger plate serves in a sense as a place holder for the plates for the first cource(s), which are placed on top of it. It is generally removed when the main entrée is served, which would arrive on its own plate.

Posted by debris on April 26, 2005 at 12:41 AM

Okay, I did some calling around and Hitomi is completely correct. The sleek dualtoned dishes do come from Davistudio. The person I got on the phone was very aware that their dishes are used on the show. Whereas that was not the case with the person I spoke to at Heath Ceramics.

The yellow/cream-white low wide bowl on the show is offered in their colors of fawn (the muted yellow on the inside) and satin white on the outside.

When I called Heath Ceramics the person said that the shallow salad bowl is offered in Spring /Linen during the spring and summer. So I am now in a quandary as to where to get the low wide bowl. I wish you could actually touch them and see them so you know what you're getting. It's difficult to get a sense of what the bowl would look like from the davistudio website since the dishes there have all those crazy patterns on them.

I hope that bowl is used on one of her shows sometime soon so I can take a better look at it.

Anyways, good luck everyone with getting your dishes!

Posted by debris on April 26, 2005 at 12:22 PM

debris, wow i really must thank you for your efforts. at first i thought the same.... that the dishes on davistudio are incredibly bright and glossy and the ones on the show are definitely matte & muted. also, i thought the dishes on the davistudio site looked rather fragile whereas on the show, they seemed like sturdy ceramic. darn i wish they weren't so expensive!! but you're right- the heath ceramic one seems to have a slightly wider edge and looks a little thicker at the rim than the one on the show- so it looks like they are from davistudio. it's too bad it takes 6 to 8 WEEKS to ship!!! yikes!!

anyway, got my DVD set in!! you guys HAVE to order it!! they have all this bonus footage and you can re-watch giada make her dishes as many times as you want! yay!! i had to get them since i don't have tivo. shall do more research on the dishes and let y'all know. food network can take FOREVER to respond :(

Posted by melissa on April 26, 2005 at 2:53 PM

Melissa, since you have the DVDs and if you see that salad bowl, if you have time would you tell me what episode(s) it is on?

I was thinking maybe I should get the DVDs just so I can scrutinize her dishes. For instance I could pause it and examine that bowl. Hehe.

Posted by debris on April 27, 2005 at 9:39 AM

hehe debris- i will sure do that for you. as much as i love her, i have been unable to watch all the episodes in a week!! haha- but it is a wise investment if you love to cook and esp. if you love her dishes!! i purchased two bowls that Giada uses from Global Table in NY. They are also dual-toned but a bigger version of the ones from Dvaistudio. Though pricey, it's wonderful to use :) I'll let you know which episode it's on ASAP :)

Posted by melissa on April 27, 2005 at 6:40 PM

Hi All,

I have been trying to get into on her dinnerware forever. I am so glad I found this site. You have all been so helpful.
I just love Vietri.
Now here is a question:
The other day I was watching her show and she was making the tortelli soup and the soup bowls she use looked really cool. They looked like Vietri but I cannot find them anywhere on Vietri's website. Anyone got any idea?

Posted by Pam on May 2, 2005 at 1:13 AM

Hi Pam,

I think those dishes giada used to serve the tortellini soup are the Cucina fresca individual oven casserole from Vietri. On the website they show it with the lid on.

Posted by Hitomi on May 2, 2005 at 8:08 AM

ok so for anyone who's interested in the new sleeker set of dual-toned dishes that giada uses (oh how i miss her cucina fresca ones in the new kitchen she films in) they are, yes, from davistudio but also from an english ceramics potter named BRICKETT DAVDA. i have two of her bowls that giada uses and they're very expensive but well worth it; makes you feel just like giada when you're cooking :) ps: has anyone noticed she's using more pastel-hued dishes in the new kitchen like pinks and lilacs? what do you think?

Posted by melissa on May 3, 2005 at 11:02 AM

I am so glad that I found this site! I have been searching for the blue and white measuring spoons that are used on the show for my Mom for Mother's Day. She loves them! Thank you so much for the helpful information!

Posted by Emily on May 4, 2005 at 4:31 PM

Hi, does anyone know where the white ceramic wide bowl with the spout comes from that Giada used when she made the Parmesan Pancetta Torta? Thanks!

Posted by Diana on May 5, 2005 at 1:09 PM

Hi Diana,

The white ceramic batter bowl comes from Stonewall Kitchen. It is a set of three bowls of different sizes.

Posted by Hitomi on May 5, 2005 at 1:17 PM

Hello, everyone!

Does anyone know where I can getget the small oval plate which is white or cream, a little bit distinct wavy. She used it for chives and olives in Wedding Shower episode. (for Goat Cheese Toast)

And answering to Marilee regarding to Giada's spice jar. I think this is it. http://www.canwax.shoppingcartsplus.com/catalog/item/634635/1120207.htm

Posted by Yasue on May 5, 2005 at 3:37 PM

Does anyone know where I can find the mitten type pot holders Giada uses? Thanks

Posted by Marisa on May 10, 2005 at 10:38 AM

Yasue, I am pretty sure that little plate you are talking about comes from Davistudio as mentioned in our previous posts....but I think it comes with a vase and is 8 inches. Marisa, I think her oven mitts are from a place called Hable Construction in New York but I am not sure. I know for sure that her aprons are custom made from there.... by the way, if you still love her Cucina Fresca line more than the modern style dishes... check out eBay right now. I just purchased the exact same ceramic canisters Giada uses for flour & breadcrumbs in a cream and a saffron... on plumpuddingkitchen.com, they are EACH $54 not incl. shipping but I got both on eBay PLUS shipping for only $50! a real bargain....let's hope they aren't faulty hehe *fingers crossed*

Posted by melissa on May 13, 2005 at 2:58 AM

oh and ps, has anyone noticed how awesome Giada's new kitchen looks (i think the ones filmed for her 5th season?) I know it's in a house in malibu or the palisades...that is SO my dream kitchen!! she's also dressing alot prettier, too, you can tell her show is doing well haha. i guess it helps that her hubbie designs for the ANthropologie stores.. they are too cute 2gether :)

Posted by melissa on May 13, 2005 at 3:00 AM

Does anyone know where you can buy the cream canisters Giada's uses for her kitchen utensils, they look very similar to the canisters she uses for flour, and sugar.

Thanks

Posted by zeena on May 20, 2005 at 11:59 AM

Does anyone know what type of knife Giada uses on her show?

Posted by ashly on May 21, 2005 at 10:37 AM

her cream canisters are from Vietri's Cucina Fresca line but REAL expensive- the smallest one that holds 3.5 cups- is about $60 online! Check eBay...I just bought a set of 3 that Giada has for a total of $50 and they're perfect, brand new & 100% authentic. Lucky me :) Ashly... she uses Global knives. I think everything she uses is $$$!!!

Posted by melissa on May 21, 2005 at 7:13 PM

Does anyone know where to find the flat bottom glass pitchers seen on the show. She mixes her salad dressings or puts her herbs in them.

Posted by Claudia on June 16, 2005 at 2:11 PM

Hi, Claudia- I found her pitcher in Crate & Barrel, but it was 2 years ago. They may still have it in their outlet store. Hope this helps.

Posted by Yasue on June 20, 2005 at 2:29 PM

Does anyone know which letter/number Global knife that Giada uses...I mean the particular knife? Is it the G2, 8" chef? Thanks!

This is a terrific site; I am a cooking junkie and love this exchange of recipes and information.

Posted by Lu on June 20, 2005 at 2:54 PM

I love that I am not the only one checking everything out. My question is who makes the platter that has the rooster or bird on it? I have vietri pieces and have not found anything in the catalog that looks like it. Also does anyone know where she gets her clear glasses they look hexagon on a beautiful pedestal she puts desserts or fruit in them alot. I thought maybe it was juluski but cant find it in a hexagon. Thanks for any info. Oh and when I go onto davisstudio I seem to only pull up photography or some ceramics that doesn't look like anything she uses. I am looking for the small pitcher she uses that is fawn or taupe on the inside and cream on the outside and no handles and shaped like a teardrop possiablity a (creamer)?

Posted by Andrea on June 21, 2005 at 10:45 AM

Andrea, Food Network Website (Giada's) now have all sources where you can buy. What ever Giada uses, they are shown. Things you are looking for are also shown.

Posted by Yasue on June 24, 2005 at 3:25 PM

Thanks for the tip, Yasue. I'm going to go and check the foodnetwork site right now.

Andrea: I felt the same thing about the Davistudio website. They show the most hideous (IMO) stuff. I'm surprised they don't have photos of their more tasteful pieces/colors. I called the store and the person there was quite aware that their stuff has been featured on Giada's show. The person was very helpful and knew what colors and items have been on the show. Maybe give them a call to get more info.

Posted by debris on June 29, 2005 at 5:57 PM

Thank you so much for the information. I did find what I needed after I had posted the letter. I'm still in search for the Paesano Platter by vietri if anyone knows where I can purchase one. I have called replacements all they had was a mug and a round bowl. Been on e-bay. Any info. would be great.

Thanks

Posted by Andrea on June 30, 2005 at 8:52 AM

DVDs!!!!!

Okay, so I've just discovered the magic that is Giada, and I would like to know where you guys ordered the DVDs from...are they dvds of her entire show repertoire on the food network? I already have her cookbook, but having the actualy shows would help tenfold....Please help! :)

Posted by Liz on July 1, 2005 at 1:37 PM

Recipe Request -- While watching the show, did anybody take notice of the pasta pie Giada made? It was made in a springform pan, using spaghetti and meatballs (or sausage) in what I believe is a puff pastry shell. Anybody know the name of the dish since it is not easily found on FNTV.com. Thanks in advance for responses.

Posted by stuart on July 1, 2005 at 7:23 PM

Stuart,
I think the episode is Pasta Potluck and the recipe is Baked Angel Hair with Eggplant. Hope this helps.

Posted by Andrea on July 1, 2005 at 9:15 PM

Liz: I purchased the DVDs from the food network site- though they are expensive (about $120) it is a set of 6 DVDs with 4 episodes per CD. It's the 2nd & 3rd season only so it's not the newest ones and includes a few of the very 1st season (which personally i don't really like because it's almost like Giada is a total different person in the 1st season....she looks real tired and talks too seriously- you can tell there was a MAJOR makeup, wardrobe and personality UPPITY for her most recent shows) anyway, it's definitely worth every penny. i cannot wait until her next set comes out- i feel like such a stalker but i have the whole Vietri set thanks to her and the other dishes from Davistudio!!

Posted by melissa on July 3, 2005 at 4:46 PM

ps: has anyone watched her newest episodes? i noticed she is using different dishes in colors of light mauve and ivory cream- much cleaner and more modern than the Vietri stuff....anyone got a clue where she got them? thanks!! this site rocks!

Posted by melissa on July 3, 2005 at 4:47 PM

I am glad to see I am not the only person interested in giada's dishes! I have been looking, and looking, and looking for those gratin "tasting" dishes on all of my shopping ventures, and could not find anything similar. I am so happy to know they are vietri. Thanks!

Posted by krista on July 4, 2005 at 6:51 AM

Melissa,

Thanks for responding...I think I'm going to go ahead and make the $100 leap...gulp! :)

Posted by Liz on July 4, 2005 at 11:12 AM

No prob, Liz. Hey Kirsta- in case you are interested in her other dishes that alot of us have been talking about, lots of her newer ones come from places like Global Table, Davistudio, Brickett Davda, Nicole Farhi and Conran... hope this helps in your venture :)

Posted by melissa on July 4, 2005 at 3:49 PM

Hi Melissa,
I think the dishes you are refering to are from Malmaison. You can find them at La Cafetiere in NYC. You can also find Giada's pink gravy boat dish there. http://www.la-cafetiere.com/products2.php

Posted by Hitomi on July 7, 2005 at 1:29 PM

I have a question about the Davisstudio and Brickett Davda lines. I was at an art museum and there was Brickett Davda in the gift shop. I was able to lift it and touch it and it felt so delicate and wafer thin.

Even if something is gorgeous, I still want tableware to be durable. Can anyone tell me if the Davisstudio tableware is just as thin and delicate as the Brickett Davda?

Posted by debris on July 9, 2005 at 2:35 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get the white rectangular plates with spouts that Giada uses to season her meats on? Thanks!

Posted by Diana on July 16, 2005 at 10:24 AM

Great information everyone, but do any of you know the music that is played in the background on her episodes? Thanks.

Posted by Karen on July 28, 2005 at 3:57 AM

Thanks to this site, I was able to locate the ceramic measuring spoons that Giada uses during her show. Just got the spoons and wow, they are SO CUTE! I am wondering if I should go ahead and start a collection of Vietri dishes too! I love Giada and watch her show every day :) Kudos to this site and its message forum! :)

Posted by Terri on August 11, 2005 at 1:25 PM

how do you say her name?

jay-da?

jee-a-da?

Posted by nichole on September 20, 2005 at 7:08 PM

Jah-dah. You don't pronounce the i. It just signifies that the G is soft.

Posted by Debris on September 23, 2005 at 12:07 AM

Hi all-
Great information! I've been looking everywhere for the olive oil bottles she uses, but Oliver & Co don't seem to have them on their website. Any ideas?

thanks!

Posted by Reen on September 23, 2005 at 4:21 PM

Hi Reen
They sell the empty bottles and spouts at their store, but if you can't find an O&Co. store near you, and if you really want the bottles, what you can do is order their finishing olive oils in the 8.4oz bottles. They are exactly the same, just have labels on them. Just buy the spout separately. Their olive oils are a little expensive, but in my opinion well worth it. The bottles are dishwashersafe, so once you are done with the oil, peel off the label, put in the dishwasher and once clean, refil with anything you want.

Posted by Hitomi on September 25, 2005 at 9:27 AM

Hi Reen,

You can also just call them and order the empty bottles over the phone. That is how I got mine and I don't live anywhere near a O&Co. store. They person on the phone knew exactly which bottle I was talking about. The empty bottle costs $6.00 and the spout was $4.oo, and I received them in just a few days. Their number is listed on their website in the customer service section.

Does anyone know where Giada gets the wooden salad forks she uses?

Posted by Virch on October 14, 2005 at 7:20 AM

Linda,

You can purchase the bowls with the pouring spouts at StonewallKitchen.com. There is a set of three. I have those and I love them!

Posted by Diana on October 16, 2005 at 9:32 PM

Linda,

I just checked the stonewall kitchen site. The bowls are $99 for a set of 3. Unfortunately, it's a little too pricey for me. I found similar bowls at target. There is a BIA Cordon Bleu set of 4 for $29.99. It's not wide and shallow like the stonewall ones and definitely not as cute but it's a decent alternative.

Posted by Gloria on October 18, 2005 at 2:36 PM

You can find the wooden salad forks at ozarkwest.com. There you also find the wooden spoons, cutting boards and other kitchen utensils that she uses. I've purchased the spoons and they're very nice.

Posted by Dawn on October 22, 2005 at 9:31 PM

Hey Marilee,

Check out the container store for the spice jars. I just got some and I love them. I'm not sure where you are located, but there is a store located in Pasadena, CA.

Posted by Virch on October 22, 2005 at 10:56 PM

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if you've noted this yet or not, but I just picked up Giada's Everyday Italian 3 DVD set at Target, for $19.99! Can you believe that!? They have Paul Deen, Giada and Rachel Ray DVDS; lots of Rachel, LOL. The package says it's a "Target Exclusive"; not sure what that means, as I checked the show lists, and this is the same volume one as on the Food Network's website, except for ALOT cheaper! I'm hoping they get volume two when it's released, as well. Since they have alot of Rachel's. Also noticed on Amazon Giada has a new cookbook (Giada's Family Dinners) coming out in April 2006; a ways off, I know, but we can start dreaming.

does anyone know what brand of cream is used on the show. it comes in a glass bottle

Posted by Leigh on October 30, 2005 at 1:21 PM

Does any one know where to herb de provence jar is from?

Posted by Lynne on November 1, 2005 at 12:54 PM

Leigh - is the cream from Strauss Family Creamery? That's the brand that comes in glass bottles at my supermarket.

Posted by Gloria on November 3, 2005 at 1:24 PM

Marilee et al.,

The glass spice jars that Giada uses are from Fishs Eddy in NYC. It is a restaurant surplus store catering mostly to the industry. (www.fishseddy.com)

You may not find them their online store, but call them 877.347.4733 to place an order. The sales lady told me that they do not always carry them. It may take them weeks to a few months to get them again if they sell out.

I bought a few and they are GREAT!! They're only $2.99 each (the same amount of money as the cute little jars found at The Container Store as recommended by Virch). They hold about 4oz.

Posted by Tacy on November 4, 2005 at 7:12 PM

Great site, great info for Giada fans.

Posted by Tacy on November 4, 2005 at 7:31 PM

Hi Lynne,

You can find the herbs de provence at Williams Sonoma. The small jar that Giada uses costs about $12.00.

Does anybody know where she gets her new measuring spoons?

Posted by Andy on December 23, 2005 at 10:29 PM

Sophia, I bought my little whisk (similar if not identical to Giada's) at www.fantes.com which sells a lot of kitchen "Stuff"!

I was browsing around crate and barrel.com and i stumbled upon this, http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=850&f=9857, looks similar to Giada's don't you think?

Posted by Andy on December 29, 2005 at 2:29 AM

Please forward a contact for the director and camera crew for Everyday Italian. We are a small non-profit educational group, and we are working on a film. This crew would be great for our effort!!

Does anyone know where I can sell my never-used Vietri Paesano dishes? They were discontinued before I could get a complete set. Have 6 dinner plates, 4 salad plates and 6 salad bowls.

Thanks!

Posted by Pollyanna on January 1, 2006 at 10:32 AM

I am so glad I found this site about Giada, I love Vietri and I love her show! The dishes she uses are beautiful. I have the Cucina Fresca in sage and saffron. Has anyone ever been to their Warehouse Sale in North Carolina? It is so much fun, and a great place to find discontinued product.

Posted by Jean on January 8, 2006 at 9:30 PM

Andy, I looked at the Crate and Barrel site and loved those! Ordered 6 and just got them in. They are a great size..not too big...not too small.

Giada news:
Giada de Laurentiis will be on Iron chef America teaming with Bobby Flay against Mario Batali who is teamed with Rachael Ray.

The measuring spoons are definitely from Fantes. You can also get them at Sur la Table.

What is the date for the Iron Chef?

Posted by CityChick on January 24, 2006 at 3:04 PM

citychick, the new season starts on feb 24. THEY UPDATED GIADA'S SET LIST! it includes her new pepper mill, new tools, pastel bowls and more

Posted by Andy on February 2, 2006 at 10:55 AM

Reply to "Annie" -
Are the Paesano bowls that you are calling salad bowls maybe "pasta" bowls? If yes, I'd love to buy a few or all of them from you. I just broke one and discovered they're not available.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the small round glass pitcher that Giada uses to mix her salad dressing?

Thanks.

Posted by Joanie on February 17, 2006 at 4:25 PM

I also am looking for the small glass pitcher that Giada uses for salad dressings. Sent e-mail to food network, no help. Went to crate and barrel website, even outlet, no luck.I purchased a glass pitcher from Nicole Fahri last week thinking this was it, came in two sizes, I ordered the large and it was too big. Before I go and invest in the small one does anyone know if this is the same pitcher? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.

Posted by Pam on February 21, 2006 at 1:45 PM

Has anyone had any luck finding Giada's small glass pitcher--the one she uses for dressings. I just have to have one like it!

THANK YOU Pam! I've been searching for that pitcher forever as well! I actually spent quite a bit of time on the internet today trying to track down one similar (how did you find it????). I ordered the one from Lekker's, just a little bummed it's on backorder. Ah well, at least I'm not searching for it anymore! Great price too! Thanks again!!

Posted by Nancy on February 22, 2006 at 12:51 PM

Hi Pam!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU to you and your friend for letting us know about lekkerhome.com!!! I have literally been on a mission to find Giada's pitcher. I asked Crate and Barrel's 800# to seach back to their 2003 product list! I've also asked a mgr. at Sur La Table how they could not possibly have this item on their shelves. I've already placed my order! I'm thinking I should place another (as a spare)--is that taking it too far?

Give your friend a huge hug and kiss from all us maniacs who have scoured the earth for this darn pitcher:)!!!

I've already placed my order for one and am contemplating placing another in case it gets discontinued---is that crazy or what?! That's how obsessed i"ve been about it.

Try globaltable.com. They carry the same pitcher in glass. They did carry the ceramic at one time.

Good luck.

Posted by Joanie on February 24, 2006 at 5:54 AM

Woo-Hoo!! The Lekker's site must not be updated because I just received my "Giada" pitcher (an exact match)! It's perfect, it's really high quality (especially for the price), and it's finally in my kitchen! ;-) I love that it's mouth blown....very nice. So to anyone else that ordered it, you should be receiving it any day!

Posted by Nancy on February 24, 2006 at 2:44 PM

Hi there,

This is sooo off the cooking topic, but I need to ask...Does anyone know the brand/color of nail polish Giada uses? I keep my nails very short and can't seem to find that perfect sheer color.

Posted by rose on February 27, 2006 at 2:49 PM

Posted by Ashley on March 21, 2006 at 3:17 PM

Hi Jen,

Giada's diamond necklaces are from Tiffany's Diamonds by the yard collection. It's two individual solitaire necklaces and one that has diamond stations all along it. I'm not sure about the necklace with the rectangle pendant, though. hth!

I'm so glad I've found this board. There's a wealth of information. Thanks all! :)

Posted by Debra on March 22, 2006 at 4:36 AM

They're on back-order both there and at http://www.outsideinhome.com/thumbnail.asp?id=20&cid=203&pid=227 . I guess there are too many Giada fans out there! :) Thanks for all the great info.

Posted by drjane on June 14, 2006 at 11:40 PM

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site. I've got a lot of helpful leads on some of the products I'm looking for. I love the show and want many of the items in giada's kitchen. I already ordered the oval measuring cups, porcelain measuring spoons, spice jars, square glass jars and the pitcher. I'm now ready to order the walnut cutting board and Simon Pearce square pitchers (I've got to have them)

I totally love the small white sauce boat without handles that she used on the episode for grilled shrimp on endive which looked like a teardrop. Has anyone found those? I would really appreciate any leads. Also, if you know where I can get those white bowls that has a small base, I think rather oval shape that flairs at two ends, sort of like the slight curve dips in the center. It's kind of hard for me to describe and probably difficult for you to visualize.

Thank you all.

Posted by miamor on July 5, 2006 at 12:23 AM

The new dishes, plates with rounded up edges in beautiful OCEAN blue and the butter strip in DUCK EGG, as well as the salt bowls, and various other dishes, are from MUD AUSTRALIA. Not many retailers in the US carry their products and they are pricey. The platters she uses in Duck Egg are $77-$88. The plates I think are around $30 but are they gorgeous! I must replace my cheap Ikea plates or buy a few dessert plates just to experience the beauty in my kitchen.

The flat bottom pitcher is available at Lekker after I requested they carry the smaller size (Basis pitcher), but the 3 C size has been discontinued by LSA London. I'm still trying to find one elsewhere, as I did see it on Oprah and also on Law and Order during many court scenes.
Anyway, I bought my 4" pitcher from NY which is exactly the small pitcher on the show, and Pottery Barn is where I bought my 7" pitcher, made by the same LSA that makes Basis as well as the smaller pitchers on the show, for $19.

The shallow white platters in 2-3 sizes with the spout used mainly for prepping is also discontinued by Terence Conran in NYC. They are not the exact match as those from Williams Sonoma. Terence Conran is where I bought my porcelain egg "crate" with 3 rows of 4, that she uses for eggs but it is also available at the Container Store as a Jewelry Valet for $9.99. I bought my 2nd in there in Bath section--just ask. Oh, plus Fantes carries a porcelain egg crate but it is designed just like the egg carton from the store with 2 rows--very cute. If you can get the one at the Container Store, you save the shipping obviously.

So, if someone finds a retailer with the Mud Australia line, please post or email me! I found sellers in LA--Truth and Beauty, and 2 stores in SF, Zinc details and the other stores escapes me now (sorry), though there are 1 or 2 more in the LA area. I'm not sure the Zinc details is interested in mail order so I'll have to visit to see what type of stock they have. I see the pieces in the email ads they send me and they're beautifiul.

ok, the end. for now.

Anyway, I bought my 4" pitcher from NY which is exactly the small pitcher on the show, and Pottery Barn is where I bought my 7" pitcher, made by the same LSA that makes Basis as well as the smaller pitchers on the show, for $19.

The shallow white platters in 2-3 sizes with the spout used mainly for prepping is also discontinued by Terence Conran in NYC. They are not the exact match as those from Williams Sonoma. Terence Conran is where I bought my porcelain egg "crate" with 3 rows of 4, that she uses for eggs but it is also available at the Container Store as a Jewelry Valet for $9.99. I bought my 2nd in there in Bath section--just ask. Oh, plus Fantes carries a porcelain egg crate but it is designed just like the egg carton from the store with 2 rows--very cute. If you can get the one at the Container Store, you save the shipping obviously.

So, if someone finds a retailer with the Mud Australia line, please post or email me! I found sellers in LA--Truth and Beauty, and 2 stores in SF, Zinc details and the other stores escapes me now (sorry), though there are 1 or 2 more in the LA area. I'm not sure the Zinc details is interested in mail order so I'll have to visit to see what type of stock they have. I see the pieces in the email ads they send me and they're beautifiul.

ok, the end. for now.

I forgot to ask. WHERE can I get the tapered olive oil pourer that O&Co sells for +$6 plus $8+ s/h? I know they come with bottles but I don't need bottles, just pourers. Cost Plus says they carry just the pourers with the plastic instead of cork, but they've been out for months. I've serached Sur La Table, BBB, L&Things, Target, you name it, I've tried and spent hours online but O&C seems to be the only source and that's too pricy to me (w/s/h).

Oh, someone asked about the jars used for marinara. The only source I saw is Cost Plus and it seems they are discontinuing though it could be just the bigger size. They still carry the smaller sizes--32? oz and smaller but that nice big jar is not there. Is that a great jar? Convenient to scoop or pour into and pretty. If someone sees them elsewhere, I'd like to know as well. Thanks!

Posted by liz on July 9, 2006 at 7:05 PM

ok, sorry guys. I found the tapered s/s with the plastic plug at Williams Sonoma and bought one. I'd still like to know if some other retailers sell this item in either cork or plastic w/the stainless pourer of course. Thanks!

Posted by liz on July 10, 2006 at 4:15 PM

Liz:

Thank you for all the information. I just ordered the porcelian egg crate from The Container Store. I had e-mailed the company in London (Dwell) but they do not ship to the United States. Now I can be happy until I see something else that I want.

Dear Katy,
My granddaughter's name, by the way!! Have you tried Cox Country Gifts.com? They have a LARGE assortment of speckled dishware. However, I don't know about brown, but try it. Good luck!

Posted by Gigi on July 13, 2006 at 2:13 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know where to find the hot pink spatulas used on the show? I've had my eyes on it for a while.

Also, I'm pretty sure it was on Everday Italian, but it's possible it was on Barefoot Contessa, but there was a white bowl that had an open lip on it, very ideal for pouring flour into a mixer. Does anyone know where to find this bowl?

Thank you :)

Posted by Amanda on July 13, 2006 at 7:31 PM

Hi Amanda,

I'm not sure if you're refering to the red spatula with black handles. If those are the ones, they are by OXO which you can find at Bed Bath and Beyond website for about $7. Hope those are the ones. Happy shopping.

Could you please, help me! I am looking for a source where I could purchase the with plates used by Chef Mario Batali in one of his Iron Chef shows. The plate is unmistakable.

Hey everyone! This is such a great place, you all are so helpful! I don't believe anyone has mentioned this yet, if it is a repeat, I'm sorry - anyways, you can get those porcelain white and blue measuring sppons from anthropologie, that is where I bought mine before I found that set list...just another option for you all!

Posted by Raquel on July 29, 2006 at 12:17 PM

This question is off-topic & my apologies if it has been covered on this board before...but, I have searched & searched for information on GIADA'S WARDROBE & cannot find anything. Can anyone help me out here? I LOVE the shirts she wears!

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where the white (i believe ceramic) spouted mixing bowls from the show? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Posted by Kelly on August 8, 2006 at 11:45 PM

THis is posted above from OCT 05 about the spouted bowls.
I just checked the stonewall kitchen site. The bowls are $99 for a set of 3. Unfortunately, it's a little too pricey for me. I found similar bowls at target. There is a BIA Cordon Bleu set of 4 for $29.99. It's not wide and shallow like the stonewall ones and definitely not as cute but it's a decent alternative.

Posted by liz on August 9, 2006 at 1:03 AM

Could someone type up a list of all the items above - list phone #s and such all on one sheet for all of us who type too slow?

Also, the white le creuset i believe is a braiser pan which you can find on the chefs catalog website and many other places. I'm assuming i'm right so if i'm not - - for sure someone will clue me in for all of our sakes....

Posted by Lynn on August 11, 2006 at 11:07 AM

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to offer something that may be helpful to those of us who drool over ther ceramics but don't want to pay through the nose for them. In most towns and urban areas there is a ceramic store of somekind that will carry many of the styles if not all that you are looking for. These pieces are unsanded and unfired. Most of them will fire the ceramics for you for a small fee. after you have sanded out the seams with a green scrubby or 400 grit sandpaper. At the bisque stage you are then ready to select glaze aand then paint it on. Depending on where you live the firing costs will differ but it runs around $25 for use of a large kiln here and you can fit alot of serving platters in there. The technitions will fire it for you and then you go home with beautiful unique dishes! I hope this helps some of you.

Posted by Kimberly on August 16, 2006 at 8:03 PM

I just want to thank Pam for the info on the glass pitcher, I thought truly there was something wrong with me for obsessing over this! I have tried for 2.5 months with calls and internet to find these, so glad I just happened to stumble on this website, so ironic, don't you think! I just ordered two, just in case, so weird, glad I have do have company tho. THANK YOU again!

Posted by Betty on August 17, 2006 at 2:52 PM

I have one more question, hope that someone will be able to help me...I love the show Good Eats with Alton Brown, where can I get the 'Salt holder' that he uses? I found one but it is really for cheese and comes with a spoon and a hole in the container, Can anyone help me with that??Thanks.

Posted by Betty on August 18, 2006 at 10:28 AM

Betty,

I bought Alton Brown's salt cellar through his website which was linked from the foodnetwork site. Go there first, go to the good eats show, then there's a link to his website which sells the same one from the show. It's cheap and very nice and functional.

Note: She has used this pan to make the cheese pizzettes and chocolate ravioli

Note: Also I wanted to know where to find the bottles that she made her Limoncello in?

Also, looking for a purple long sleeved shirt she was wearing with the twisty part around the waist.

Thanks!!!

Posted by Suzanne on September 2, 2006 at 11:39 PM

to Tacy from April 19: The ladle is a sauce ladle by Rosle and Williams Sonoma has it, if you're looking at the one with the round handle. They have different sizes and some have the hook handle. You can also get it from Kitchen direct. There's another one with a black round handle and I've seen that at BB and Beyond.

Posted by liz on September 8, 2006 at 12:09 PM

Morgan,

I think the red frying pan that you're inquiring about is a Le Creuset Braiser Pan (see attached link for picture). I have the blue one in 5 quart, which is equivalent to about a 12"+ skillet? It is pretty wide. I bought mine at Williams Sonoma and use it often. It is very heavy though.

It's been said before, her husband is a designer for Anthropologie so she wears many shirts/tops from their store. Also-you can find porcelain measuring spoons ($14) there but they are cheaper at www.fantes.com ($10.99)where they also have the stainless oval measuring cups which can be found NO where else to my knowledge. Her necklaces are from Tiffany's and no one knows where the dogtag is from but it could be Tiffanys as well??

Posted by Diane on November 29, 2006 at 3:13 PM

It was very funny to see the last question about Giada's gorgeous necklaces as I JUST gave my husband a photo of her and begged that they are the only thing I really want this christmas. Does anyone know if there are gold or platinum - and if they are from Tiffany's Elsa Peretti collection? (I hope not as they would definately not be under the tree for me!).

P.S. I met Giada at a book signing in Boston. I was #3 in line and she is a doll!

Posted by Robin on December 4, 2006 at 4:47 PM

Does anyone know what has happened to the Food Network dvds they were selling at Target? Giada had three sets of them, and they carried a nice selection. But I've noticed recently all but four (and most of those are holiday only) dvd sets are being sold at Target now, and the price stickers/shelf space for the others are gone. Did they discontinue these? Does anyone know? I never even saw them go on sale, they just "poof!" disappeared! I missed the last set of Giada dvds!

To Diane-
her necklaces are Tiffany's diamonds-by-the yard and they are gold. Her diamonds are fairly large-I think she had two strands and over time added a a third strand--not cheap!

To Suzanne-I love the rectangular pendant but have been unable to locate it. There are dogtags in white gold but nothing thin and flat like hers. It should be rather easy to reproduce by a jeweler (draw a picture the exact size and thickness you want) Check her cookbooks for close-ups. Let me know if you locate it!!

Surprisngly, a lot of Giada's kitchen "goodies" can be found at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, where you can get 20% off with a coupon. If you look on FoodNetwork.com and go to Everyday Italian, there's a link on the left side of the website that says "Everyday Italian Set List." It is pretty much complete listing of everything Giada uses on the show and what websites and stores to get the items at.

Hello! I have really enjoyed reading the amazing info everyone has been able to gather, and I appreciate your sharing it!

I'm hoping you can help with another question which was previously asked but not answered (I don't think - didn't see it, anyway) - probably because it doesn't have to do with cookware! LOL! (of course, neither does nail polish, jewelry and clothing, but I've been delighted to read the answers here!)

Anyway, my question is also about the background music on the shows. I think it would be classified as "electronica," but I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with electronica genre or artists, so I'm at a complete loss.

I have emailed the EI production staff but didn't not receive an answer. If ANYONE here can help, I would be extremely grateful - I've been searching for YEARS!

Thanks very much for everything!

Christine, the wooden spoon with the basket on the end is a bamboo skimmer. I have seen them at Bed Bath & Beyond and Williams Sonoma stores but not on their web site. Williams Sonoma does sell a bamboo tool kit that includes this skimmer on their website but it is $55 for the whole set.

Has anyone noticed the round, wrought iron like looking cooling rack she occassionaly uses? It sits low and has 3 scroll feet I believe. I would love to have this but am wondering if it is an antique. Thanks!

Posted by pam marty on February 28, 2007 at 6:35 PM

Hello, fellow Giada fans! I'm tickled to know that so many others admire Giada's fantastic taste in just about everything. I appreciate all the helpful information each of you have given, and I plan to track down everything I can afford! ;) I do have a couple of questions. . . does she only use the tapered French rolling pin in her show, or does she have a standard French pin as well? Can anyone tell how the pin is stored in her kitchen? Also, please clarify for me (since I am relatively new to Giada's show--you all have to catch me up on these things!). . . does she only use two sets of measuring spoons, the porcelain set for liquids and the stainless steel rectangular set for spices? Oh, and one more thing. . . I'm also looking for the marble pastry board and cheaper versions of the square glass canisters she keeps pastas in. By the way, I did find a set of those corked spouts for olive oils on Fantes.com; they were a set of two for $7.99 (compare that to $6 each at O&Co). They even have little teeny stainless hinged covers on the ends of the spouts. Cute. Just thought I would throw that out for your consideration. :) Thanks again for so much wonderful information, my friends!

Posted by Jodie on March 1, 2007 at 6:55 PM

Update! I could only find the 80-ounce Libbey square glass canister as part of a set of graduating sizes in stores, which is not what I wanted (I was looking for three or four of the same size). . . Restockit.com has the right jar (though it is Anchor Hocking brand, I believe) in a case of four for $36.38. That comes out to less than $10 per canister. I thought that was a worthy enough deal to mention! Happy hunting to all!

Giada's nail color is by Essie (Ballet Slippers, a verrrry popular color - it's gorgeous!!)

I found CZ necklaces designed after Giada's Tiffany strands. Obviously not the same, but for those of us on a budget ... well, it'll do for now. (www.tinystar.com)
I have recognized so many of her outfits from Anthropologie, it's not even funny.

Still desperately searching for her vintage gold watch (she wears it on her right arm) and her gold rectangle necklace. What can I say? The gal's got great style!! :)

Hello! I am looking for the champagne flutes that were on the 3/19 episode that Giada and her friends were drinking out of at the end of the show. Does anyone know what they are? I have emailed the show however I have not heard back yet. Thanks!

Hi,
What a wonderful site! I am looking for the pastel measuring cups Giada uses that look like coffee cups with tiny handles and pouring spouts. She uses them for flour I think.

Posted by Jen on June 30, 2007 at 12:23 AM

I just broke my white porcelain measuring spoons with a blue rim that I've had for 20 yrs.+. I notice that Giada uses them also. Does anyone know where they can be found?

Posted by joan on July 1, 2007 at 11:17 AM

Joan-Fantes.com sells the ceramic measuring spoons. They are shown on the home page listed as a "Quick Pick"

Posted by christina on July 5, 2007 at 3:22 PM

Jen-The pastel measuring cups that you are looking for are at anthropologie.com

Posted by Christina on July 5, 2007 at 3:24 PM

Christina - thanks for the info, but I just checked the anthropologie site and I don't think those are the same cups she use.

Does anyone idea where she gets all those cute little glass beakers (for lack of a better word) that she uses to pour milk, cream, etc.???

I have been watching this site, and looking for the pastel measuring cups. Just this past week, I noticed another detail on the pastel measuring cups, and it was the cup size imprint on the side of the cup. I checked out the suggestion for www.anthropologie.com, and I bought the measuring cups. I figure the colors can easily be distorted from both the television and computer monitor, and if these cups are not the same ones, they sure are a very close match.

Great job everyone on keeping the post going on Giada!

Here's a link to some spice jars that are similar to the ones I've seen Giada use and they are affordable:

Here's another one:

Here are some others, not necessarily like Giada's but still really cute:

Christina - wow! Thanks for the info! Yes, that was one of the things I was looking for. I just love all the little pitchers she uses when she is pouring ingredients in her recipes. And thanks for the discount code!

Posted by Tica on July 8, 2007 at 1:20 AM

Does anyone know where I can get the cute little "jars" they showed for the ice caffe latte on the Summer Entertaining episode that aired today - as well as the cute glass bottles she served the lemonade in?

Posted by Tica on July 8, 2007 at 1:24 AM

does anyone know where Giada gets her wardrobe from? I just love her clothes.

Posted by debbie on July 15, 2007 at 12:03 AM

White Cake Stand- Does anyone know where Giada got the white cake stands that she stacked to use in her "afternoon tea" show. She used them to serve cookies and chocolates, etc. ??

Posted by joy on July 19, 2007 at 2:08 PM

I would suggest reading the set list for everyday italian on foodnetwork.com as well as all the previous postings on this website - there's a ton of information, and alot of it keeps getting repeated as opposed to putting new questions/information out.

Posted by Tica on July 19, 2007 at 2:40 PM

Does anyone know where to find Giada's wooden peppermill? Thanks, Alexis

Posted by Alexis on July 19, 2007 at 10:10 PM

I am looking for the white ceramic/porcelain egg tray that holds about a dozen eggs as seen on Everyday Italian hosted by Giada De Laurentiis. Does anyone know where I can get one. I found one but it is a manufacturer in China and it doesn't show retailers to purchase it from. Any information you may have please let me know. I would really like to get this.

Posted by Laura S. on July 26, 2007 at 10:31 PM

Laura-I purchased my ceramic egg crate from Anthropologie. Her husband designs clothes for this company, so I am sure that it is the same one that she has. I called a local store in my area to have them ship one to me. You will specifically have to ask for the 12 ceramic egg crate. I didn't the first time and they sent me one that holds 9 eggs. They do not have this item on their website Anthropologie.com
Hope this helps...Christina

Posted by Christina on July 28, 2007 at 4:07 PM

Christina,

How long ago did you get your egg tray from Anthropologie? I have an Anthropologie store here locally and go in quite often and they don't have the egg tray. They had a 6 egg tray in a blue that goes great with the Vietri dishes. I have a pair of those and love them! I know her husband is a designer and is linked to the Anthropologie store. My mother read about her several years ago and she got me started watching her show. I love the clothes and everything the store carries. My mom got the most beautiful bed from the store that was a display piece several years ago. She just happened to inquire about it and the next day the store puts it on sale! ( Just a note to let anyone know if you see something in the store that is a display ASK about it. Alot of times they don't sell the props and displays but depends on when they are changing things out. Just wanted to pass this on because she got it for a really great sale price. ) I will go back to the store and ask if they can help me find this. I just love the big white tray of eggs and I have been unsuccessful finding one. I found one today from Conran.com but they are located in London and not sure if they will ship to the USA.

This is a such and informational web site and would have loved to have found it years ago. However the search to find the items in stores and catalogs has been a fun quest.

Thank you again for your help and reply. This is such a wonderful group of people with all of the same interest and looking to help one another. I am so thrilled to have found this site.

Oh...... and here is another bit of information to those who are wanting the set of 3 spouted bowls as mentioned earlier in the post. Stonewallkitchen.com has the bowls on sale and are under the sale section. They are the Burleigh Ware Batter Bowls. Just to let those know who haven't gotten them and are waiting for them to go on sale. Not a big savings but every little bit helps.

Joy,

The stacked white compote dishes are from Ralph Lauren. They are available on his website. I purchased mine from my local Dillards store.

I loved the silver colonial-style tea set she used in the same episode. It is unusual that the handle is silver instead of black on that style of teapot. Have you seen a set like hers? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for the great ideas about where to find things!

Posted by Lynne on July 29, 2007 at 6:45 PM

Laura-I purchased the egg crate about a month ago. You can call any Anthropologie store in the US to have them ship it. The store that I purchased mine from is located in Dallas at Northpark Center. Phone number 214.691.8450 I actually just ordered the ceramic measuring sppons (my son broke my old ones) and the colorful ceramic measuring cups that she uses just today. So hopefully I will receive them sometime next week. Hope this helps.

Posted by Christina on July 30, 2007 at 9:00 PM

Christina,

Thank you so much for letting me know about the egg crate. I called my store and they have several and I am going in the morning to get 2 of them. I have been searching for so long to get this item. I guess every time I go to my local store their stock has been depleted and I haven't seen them there. I am excited and can't wait to go and get them tomorrow. My daughter gave me the measuring spoons for Christmas and I just used them again last night. I'm afraid I'm going to break them every time I use them but they are made to be used and not just lay in a drawer or cabinet to display. Maybe I should get another pair just as a spare set in case if one breaks. Thank you again for helping me out on locating an egg crate.

I just found this site. Thanks for answering lots of questions so far... but I have one question that I did not find the answer to and wondered if anyone has mentioned this already... Does anyone know where to find the bowl Giada uses for her salt that has a splotchy brown and cream pattern to it? Is there a particular name for that type ceramic pattern and a particular company that makes it? I want to find it and more of the same. Anyone have any idea?

Posted by Angie on August 1, 2007 at 1:24 AM

in regards to the blue and white measuring spoons Giada uses , you can find at The Country Gourmet Ltd. on the buttom of the page for $ 11.75

Posted by nora smothers on August 8, 2007 at 4:43 PM

Measuring spoons you can find at the anthropologie store

Glass Pitchers/beakers Giada uses to make dressings (small) and mixed drinks (large)- http://lekkerhome.com/CollectionDetails.asp?CollectionID=213

Her husband is a designer for anthropologie, hence most of her wardrobe is from there as well.

I really like her "salad tossers" that she also uses to stir when cooking on the stove...does anyone know where she gets those?

Posted by Julie on August 14, 2007 at 8:41 PM

I was wondering what or where do u find the pepper shaker she uses?

What great information for Giada fans!

I tried Stonewall Kitchen for the white bowls with the pouring spouts. All I could find were the batter bowls. Anyone?

The gal who had the egg trays on EBay. Did you sell all of them? I just searched and could not locate your item.

Thanks!

Posted by Elaine on August 15, 2007 at 11:55 PM

Elaine,

The bowls are a little hard to find on the website. They are batter bowls, but by Burleigh Ware Ironstone. (I have previously ordered them and these are the ones that Giada uses on the show.) The bowls are a pricey, but they are so handy - something about the lower sides and the spout.

Here is the link, but you can search under Burleigh and choose Ironstone to see them as well: http://www.stonewallkitchen.com/prdsell.aspx?L0=Kitchen&L1=Burleigh&L2=Ironstone&L3=BurleighwareBatterBowls

Has anyone had luck finding the silver teapot set from the Afternoon Dessert episode? I am still looking...

Posted by Lynne on August 16, 2007 at 9:56 AM

Lynne,

Thank you for the tip on the bowls! I found them and ordered my set.

I hope another brilliant fan can help you track down the silver teapot set. I am still looking for the ceramic egg crate and am hoping to come across
