"  Kids are becoming foodies younger and younger these days, and with any luck Giada De Laurentiis will contribute to this phenomenon. The Food Network&amp;#039;s queen of Italian cuisine and mom to 4-year-old Jade is planning to pen a series of food-focused children&amp;#039;s books. According to the Associated Press, Grosset &amp;amp;amp; Dunlap of Penguin Group USA recently signed on Giada for a series of children&amp;#039;s books. Called Recipe for Adventure, the series will be about a brother and sister pair, Alfie and Emilia. The books will follow the siblings&amp;#039; travels around the globe. Throughout the series the duo will journey to different food-centric cities. More From Delish: Recipes from Giada While Giada De Laurentiis is known for her TV shows Everyday Italian (a retired series)and Giada at Home, the Food Network star is also a mom. This latest venture shows her desire to share her love of food with a younger audience, which she already does with her daughter Jade. Back in 2008, Giada told Redbook all about cooking with Jade and introducing her to new foods: &amp;quot;Jade and I cook together. She crawls around me in the kitchen. Now she&amp;#039;s at a point where she wants to see what&amp;#039;s happening, so I pick her up. I give her little tastes of the food and she&amp;#039;s like, &amp;#039;Mmm!&amp;#039; Sometimes there&amp;#039;s nothing on the spoon and she still goes, &amp;#039;Mmm!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; More From Delish: Giada&amp;#039;s Favorite Summer Recipes Giada&amp;#039;s own food experiences started at a young age while watching her own mother in the kitchen. The first recipe she learned to make was pizza dough! &amp;quot;I was 5. I would move the flour around to make a well, and then I&amp;#039;d break the eggs and put them in the middle, and my mom would slowly put in the flour and salt. I&amp;#039;m excited to teach Jade how to bake cookies. Beating the eggs together will be fun,&amp;quot; she told the magazine.
