Celebrity chef Giada de Laurentiis defends her sultry cooking style and her low neckline on cover of Page Six Magazine this week.

The 38-year-old new mother admits that she might be showing a little more skin than her colleagues do on screen, but that doesn't mean she's showing porn.

She tells the magazine, "Porn? I'm not doing porn! What the hell are people talking about? [It's not] PBS-style cooking. I mean, I love Lidia [Bastianich], but [she's] kind of boring. And Mario Batali [I] love to death... but he's not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table."

The Italian chef - who is married to fashion designer Todd Thompson and has a 6-month-old daughter Jade with him - also reveals a time when having a family was the farthest thing from her mind.

She says, "I never cared about marriage. I was more worried about working, and really didn't think I'd have kids. Then Todd turned 40 and I guess he thought to himself, 'I think I'd like to marry Giada.'"
