Giada's Holiday Handbook

Giada hosts a Halloween open house for neighbourhood trick-or-treaters and their parents: she creates a spooky menu for her guests which includes coconut bones, spooky chicken finger sammies, witches' brooms and Here's Looking at Boo treats.

With the holidays approaching, Giada hosts a vintage cocktail party with festive throwback recipes including bacon onion dip, a spiked gelatin mould and a Korean shrimp cocktail.

Giada keeps it simple with this Thanksgiving meal that includes spicy turkey breast cacciatore, smoky candied carrots and walnut gremolata, simple wilted greens and chocolate chunk hazelnut pie.

Giada puts an exciting twist on brunch by creating crispy turkey bites, a cheesy root vegetable bake, sweet potato puffs and rye-spiked chai lattes all from Thanksgiving leftovers.

Giada hosts a pre-Christmas party for kids, but grown-ups are invited too! Festivities include a holiday sing-along and kid-friendly menu with cheesy chicken flautas, veggie noodle salad and apple pie soda a la mode.

It's Christmas dinner at Giada De Laurentiis' home, and Giada celebrates with a beautiful sit-down dinner and several dishes that can be made in advance, including a stuffed tricoloured pork loin and white brownie ice cream cake.
