You Can Still Get Tickets to See Giada!

I know what you are all thinking whenever you see Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis. Sorry, she's married, and that cool "camping outside your house" demonstration of love from Valley Girl has been outlawed since the 80s. No, what you are all thinking is, "Oh God, I wish I could taste that food!" Well, this is your lucky day!
The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills is presenting an evening series titled A Taste of Media which " takes an insider’s look at the culinary world’s impact on media." Tuesday, October 28, Giada De Laurentiis will be honored during a special event including a screening and conversation in the Center’s intimate John H. Mitchell Theatre, followed by a book signing and tasting reception with a menu chosen by Giada from her own recipes.
Giada will premiere an episode of her new Food Network series, Giada At Home. Join us for an on-stage conversation following the screening, where Giada will sign her latest book, Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites, at an exclusive post-event reception you won't want to miss.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
