In honor of Italian chef Mama Maria's 101st birthday, Brittnee Klinger re-creates an Italian feast that's so realistic the chef can't tell the difference between the cake and her own food! Kristen LoVullo makes a gravity-defying Irish whiskey bottle that looks like it's pouring a stiff drink. Then, the team crafts a massive 500-pound pot of gold cake complete with a leprechaun and a secret chamber of gold coins for the biggest St. Patrick's Day party in Las Vegas.
Giada's Aunt Raffy joins her in the kitchen to make dishes inspired by Giada's grandmother. Together they make a salad loaded with raw artichoke and fennel, and top it with Parmesan cheese.
Giada and her Aunt Raffy use lots of tomato puree to whip up a pasta dish that Giada's great aunt and grandfather used to make together. Then, they take it to Great Aunt Raffaella's house to bake it in her oven.
