Mazar cut her acting teeth on screen stealing moments in the film "GoodFellas," and has a plum role in HBO\'s "Entourage." She and her husband Gabriele have taken their website, UnderTheTuscanGun.com to new heights with "Extra Virgin," as they celebrate all the good things in life, famiglia style!

Screen siren and mama mia, Debi Mazar, has a love for Italy, great food and wine, healthy and ethical organic farming and a wicked sense of humor to boot. 

Her partner in crime is her talented husband Gabriele Corcos, who stars with her in the Cooking Channel slice of reality: "Extra Virgin."

Gabriele and Debi have chemistry and heart, and a palate that demands farm-fresh homecooking that celebrates the flavor of real food, and promotes a healthier attitude and plan of action for families to incorporate. Gabriele and Debi want American families to rediscover the art of simple, fast home cooking and joy of eating together as a family, and further the cause of weaning people off the fast food tit that is poisoning our children today.

This week on Extra Virgin is “Motorcycle Diary”

While their daughters are at camp for the day, Debi and Gabriele plan a romantic picnic.  After shopping at a local gourmet market for cheese and olives, they head home to prepare Gabriele’s Tuscan Biscotti, a traditional Panzanella Salad and a spicy honey sauce.  He surprises Debi with a red motorcycle, but it takes a bit of convincing for her to jump on for the ride.

Extra Virgin airs Wednesday, on Cooking Channel.
