PARK CITY - Giada De Laurentiis, celebrity chef, cookbook author - and mother-to-be - says being part of The Sundance Film festival combines two of her favorite ingredients: food and movies.
"It mixes what I know so well, with what I grew up with," said De Laurentiis, one of several top-ranked chefs cooking for the stars during the 11-day film festival, which ends Sunday.
Next to the films, these "invitation-only" parties, held everywhere from restaurants and clubs to exclusive homes in the mountains surrounding Park City, are among the most popular events at the festival.
