Celebrated celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis will host a new kitchen makeover special titled Giada In My Kitchen, set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on June 23 in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Giada knows her way around a kitchen, so she's the perfect person to collaborate with A-list designer Erick Garcia to provide one lucky family with the transformative kitchen remodel of their dreams.
It's always sad to see home chefs inhibited by a poor layout or tools that aren't up to par with the recipes they're cooking. But getting your kitchen in tip-top shape can be an expensive endeavor. An opportunity like this one is a priceless opportunity.
Not only will these kitchens be completely functional with many quality of life improvements, but expect the finished product to be absolutely stunning as well.
The show marks Giada's first television project since she left the Food Network, where she hosted the Emmy-winning series Everyday Italian and the Emmy-nominated Giada at Home. In 2023, Deadline reported that she had signed a multi-year deal to create and produce unscripted programming for Amazon Studios and this special appears to be the first project under that deal.
Her other ventures include being a successful restaurateur with several Las Vegas restaurants and being the author of multiple bestselling cookbooks, like the recent hit Eat Better, Feel Better. Giada also founded the lifestyle platform Giadzy.com.
Chatting with People as part of an exclusive, Giada shared that her new show is "less about cooking and more about transformation," making it quite different from her Food Network series.
In this series, it's all about finding the right form and function to transform a family's life so they can have the optimal design setup and tools needed to cook without hassle.
Discussing the couple who will be featured on the show, Giada shared that Whitney nominated her husband Michael and their ultimate reactions to the kitchen reveal brought tears to her eyes.
"A great kitchen should feel like a dance — everything in its place, just where you need it. Utensils by the stove, knives within arm’s reach, custom drawers for heavy cast iron skillets and tall pasta pots. I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space."
Home remodeling shows are very popular, with series like Flip or Flop, This Old House, and Property Brothers running for many seasons. There are always new ones coming out, many of them feature celebrities. Amazon crafting a new special with someone as popular as Giada as the host is a smart move and I'm sure it will be the kind of lighthearted show people are looking for when it releases later this month.
Giada In My Kitchen debuts on Prime Video on Monday, June 23.
