It is a show on the Cooking Channel with Debi Mazar (actress from Entourage, Good Fellas etc) and her husband who is originally from Italy (Tuscany) and is a chef.

I really love watching this show and I love the food they prepare. He seems like a wonderful cook and makes some really great rustic type of food. I have tried a couple of his recipes and they were great. He is really into whole food that is healthy but really flavorful! I love the episodes where they go to their home in Tuscany. It is so beautiful while not being over the top and what you would expect from an actress. It is real, comfortable and welcoming.

I think they are great together and their chemistry and love for each other really comes through without being sickeningly sweet like the Neely's. Their 2 daughters are cute and really have Debis beautiful blue eyes.

Re: Extra Virgin, anyone watch?

They frequent the talk shows doing cooking segments.

Wasn't she on DWTS?

Re: Extra Virgin, anyone watch?

I've been watching the show since it began. I LOVE this show and this family. I'm always happy to see a new season. This season looks like they're mostly at their Brooklyn home. When it first started they lived in LA. Every year they go to Italy, where they also have a home and his family. They spend a lot of time there and always do episodes from there, too.

I don't watch DWTS so I am not sure. I didn't realize they had a show until a couple of months ago and it has been on for a couple of years I think. I was flipping through the channels and happened to catch it. Now it is one of my favorite shows and I DVR it. I really like it a lot.

I googled and she was on DWTS and Maksim was her partner!

I really love them too. I read that their house in Italy was in his family and it is from the 14th century. I just think that is so cool. Who wouldn't love a home with that type of history!

I watched it the other day and she had her 3 best friends on and they came over to cook with her. It was Drina DeNiro (Robert Deniros daughter) Aida Turturro (Janice from the Sopranos) and Kathrine Narducci (Charmaine Bucco from the Sopranos). It was a really good show.

I love this show.What a beautiful family. Debi and Gabrieli are a great couple. I found this show about a month ago while browsing thru the channels. I try to catch it everyday, in my area it is on at 1:30 pm on the cooking channel. I will have to DVR it. I wish it was on for an hour instead of a half hour. Gabrieli's dishes look so delicious, he makes you want to get in he kitchen and try them. I wish they had a marathon I would sit and watch them all day. It is just a great show!

I've been watching this show for years. I really like watching them and their precious daughters here and in Italy. Deb is actually good friends with Madonna and has known her since before she became famous.

YES, Patnap!! Gabrieli is so passionate about food every time I watch him he makes me want to cook.

Colliemom, I remember Deb being in a ton of Madonna videos, I was wondering if they were still friends. I also read that Debi did Andy Warhols hair back in the day. She is right in NYC when it is happening!

I do love this show. They are so honest and real. I am infatuated with Debi's hair and clothes. She loves vintage styles like I do. Her hair is gorgeous. Thick and shiny.

I agree with everything you have said. They are honest and real and I absolutely love her style too. It reminds me of my favorite time period for fashion, that 40's type of look. She does have gorgeous thick hair. I guess I just expected her to be like some of the characters she plays which are more on the tougher and mean side. She seems like such a sweet heart and a fun person to hang out with.
