abstract:Everyday Italian is a Food Network show hosted by Giada De Laurentiis. In the show, De Laurentiis focuses for her viewers on traditional Italian cuisine with an American flair, such as herb-crusted lamb and chocolate-ricotta pie.
Yet the film hones in on the drama of everyday life in Africa, with Ms Basinger playing a peculiarly Americanised version of the Italian Ms Gallmann as she suffers through the inconveniences of elephants gobbling up the vegetable garden and visits from her disapproving mother.
