The Italian-born chef also re-shared an Instagram Story, featuring a sweet message from Jade.

Last week, De Laurentiis posted several pictures from an Italian vacation. TheGiadzyfounder is in Europe to celebrate the christening of Oceania’s latest ship,Vistaof which she is the godmother, per a release from the brand.
Of course, the celebrity chef dined accordingly and indulged in classic Italian dishes with the help of herlong-time boyfriend Shane Farley, her aunt, Raffaella De Laurentiis (aka Aunt Raffy) and other friends and family members.
De Laurentiis couldn’t stay away from the kitchen too long and took time on her trip to cook with the chefs on the cruise. “Had the best time back where my heart belongs: in the kitchen w/ the Oceania Culinary Team 💙 I think I’m hired?!” she wrote in an Instagram post along with images of a group of chefs wearing matching white jackets and hats.

Last year for Mother’s Day,Jade took over the cooking duties for her mom— she prepared Annie’s boxed macaroni and cheese in an Instagram video. “People always ask if I can cook and the answer is yes,” Jade said in the clip.
De Laurentiis had a few jokes to say when she was finally presented with the cheesy dish. “Wait, I thought this was Mother’s Day. You’re supposed to make something that I love to eat, not something that you love to eat.” But after taking a big bite, she had a change of heart and said, “Actually, it’s pretty good.”
