Behind the Scenes of Giada De Laurentiis’ Epic Trip to Capri

As longtime fans of Giada’s know, Raffy is Giada’s beloved aunt. She, too, made the trip to Capri to cook and spend time with Giada and their family.

The seaside mountains, the sky and the lush trees — there’s so much to love about Italy’s island of Capri.

Giada let her daughter, Jade, get hands-on with the prepping the tomatoes for their pan-fried zucchini.

For Jade, more is more when it comes to a topping of Parmigianno-Reggiano cheese.

After putting together a fresh, summery zucchini dish, the gals went in for a quick sample.

Giada made quick friends with a local shoemaker on the island.
