Giada De Laurentiis set to leave Food Network after 20 years

Giada De Laurentiis is saying arrivederci to the Food Network.

After nearly 20 years as one of the network's most recognizable faces, the Emmy-winning host has signed a multi-year deal with Amazon Studios.

Giada will develop and executive produce original unscripted programming for Amazon, Deadline reported, including projects featuring the chef in front of the camera.

The 52-year-old celebrated the news on Instagram Feb. 10, writing, "Big week! Super excited for what's to come!"

Despite her departure, Food Network fans can take solace in the fact that the door will always remain open at her original TV home.

"Giada De Laurentiis is culinary royalty, someone who has taught audiences how to properly pronounce every cut of pasta imaginable for nearly two decades," a Food Network spokesperson said in a statement. "Food Network will always be proud of the beautiful content we have created together, and our table will always have an open seat for Giada."
