WomensHistoryMonth: How Food Network's culinary queens broke gender barriers and rose to the top
In addition to her Emmy-winning Food Network show “Giada at Home” and nine cookbooks, the 49-year-old chef opened one of the first female-branded restaurants, aptly named “Giada,” on the Las Vegas strip.
While Laurentiis doesn’t live in Las Vegas, she visits at least twice a month. Those trips are much easier to do because her cooking shows are filmed in nearby Los Angeles, a request she made that “was unheard of at the time.”"Everybody shot in New York, but I wanted to be near my family, and I didn’t want to do it without them. And it meant the world to me to be home rather than doing it from a different state,” said Laurentiis. “I basically said from day one: I either shoot them in L.A.
Actress Bonnie Franklin “was the first woman who let me know that as a woman you have value. She made sure her voice was heard on ‘One Day at a Time,’ and as I’ve gone through the years and made new girlfriends and connected with people — you start to understand your value and not listen to the negativity out there,” said Bertinelli.
“To be given an Emmy from Rachael — that was a beyond moment… She is someone I’ve admired for years and decades,” said Bertinelli.“I’ve lucked into this career, I don’t plan anything out — I just keep playing,” said Bertinelli. “When we just do what we love to do — that is valuable. Understand your value, because you are valuable no matter what anybody says — no matter what the negative voices in your head say.
