I just finished listening to this segment. Yeesh.

She seems to me to be a confident, risk-taking and beautiful Italian woman. I was like one of her exes; looking for a caring woman while I went around life "finding myself". Well, I found I wasn't as great as the women I dated. I married a woman who cooks to survive and I do much of the good cooking. Giulia will get over her interview nervousness (shame on you critics!) and I predict will marry her for her laugh and eyes, then notice she can cook too. My advice to all women like her is not to sleep with someone for 5 months. My experience is that no one can hide their true self for more than that time. If you still like his pecularities after that, break out the pumkin bread on the first morning after the sixth month. Live, laugh, love...and cook.

When she started talking about morning-after pumpkin bread, I cringed.

... Not the worse thing I've heard, I am okay hearing a lighter piece or 2.

Just to make clear before I say this that I am not saying it for misogynist reasons, I am a woman in her early 30's who absolutely considers herself a feminist, but with that said, I am SO tired of the only women who get media attention being the ones who write about their relationships. Not one of my favorite writers in the world, and not one person I have ever admired for any reason whatsoever, made their career writing about dating. And I would be surprised if any of these authors could point to any favorites of theirs who made a name for themselves writing about dating. (The fact that this woman worked in PR tells you a lot about why she wrote this, I think - she knew she could sell it). Please, please please stop featuring this sort of formulaic novelty book when there are so many other books that deserve attention.

This interview was extremely painful to listen to. A case of “too much information”. Some books don’t need to be written.

Pretty par-for-the-course for PR people, though.

What's so funny?

... i wish i had some nitrous to endure this interview!

this book sounds like a magazine or newspaper piece, at best. more proof that the publishing industry doesn't know what it's doing.

So funny & true its sadly & oddly gratifying when the guy that leaves/you leave doesn't get married right after. Its definitely helps!! Ms. Melucci's comment and spirit was great.. glad your making great dishes & books out of your experiences.

I think her bad choice in men comes from the fact that she's dating male novelists--a notorious sulky and loner type of species

hmmmmm... why didn't any of her relationships work out???

I love this show
but
Most boring interview ever.
Who cares about this woman's social/love life!

This is the kind of interview that should only be in print. Please take this woman off the air now.

Did she inhale nitrous?
