Emmy-winning chef Giada De Laurentiis has partnered with meal kit company Home Chef to offer a collection of Italian-inspired recipes. The collaboration features eight rotating dishes designed for easy home cooking with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Customers can access the meals online starting with promotional offers.
Giada De Laurentiis, known for her cookbooks, restaurants, and television presence, aims to simplify home cooking through this new venture with Home Chef. The partnership introduces a menu of themed meals that draw from her Italian heritage and favorite locales, emphasizing comfort and well-being for families. Among the offerings are Effortless Parmesan Shrimp Risotto, Cacciatore-Style Chicken Milanese, and Pasta with Peas and Fresh Basil. Other dishes include One-Pan Italian Chicken Florentine with Creamy Lemon Pasta and Spinach, Weekend-in-Positano Shrimp Pasta with Arugula and Calabrian Chiles, Seared Salmon Orzo with Capers and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, Creamy Chicken Scaloppine with Potatoes, Broccolini and Shallot Sauce, and Giada’s Veggie-packed Beef Bolognese with Gemelli and Zucchini.
The collection rotates eight dishes, each appearing twice, allowing repeat access to favorites. Recipe cards include fun facts about Italian regions, along with De Laurentiis's tips on techniques to enhance weekly meals. New customers can use the code ‘CHEFGIADA’ for 50% off their first box, a free 3.4-ounce mini bottle of Giadzy extra virgin olive oil, and free shipping.
To mark the launch, Home Chef is running an Instagram giveaway from March 4 to March 11, where five winners will receive a Giadzy olive oil Tasting Box, Italian Spice 3-Pack, a signed copy of her cookbook “Super-Italian,” and a $150 Home Chef gift card.
De Laurentiis, who left the Food Network in 2024 after 21 years, debuted her show “Everyday Giada” on YouTube on December 4, 2025. She launched Giadzy.com in 2016, an e-commerce platform for Italian products like tomatoes and Coratina olive oil, which has raised $5.8 million from investors including BAM Ventures, Watertower Ventures, and Defy.vc. Neil Sequeira of Defy.vc praised her approach: “Giada has built a brand that sits at the intersection of authenticity, health, and premium Italian food.” Meals start at $9.99 per serving, plus shipping.
