History Series / BitchinKitchen

* CanadaEh: Nadia, who is from Montreal. Interestingly enough, she DOES finish most of her sentences with "eh", though it's more of an Italian thing than Canadian.

* TakeThat: In the "break-up meal" episode, Nadia said that ''mosto cotto,'' or grape must, is a [[JustForPun must]] in balsamic vinegar, and that calling it balsamic vinegar with no ''mosto cotto'' in it is "like calling spray can cheese 'Parmigiana' or Music/{{Nickelback}} a 'rock band.' [[note]]Managgia la miseria!![[/note]]"

* AlcoholicParent: Prety much spelled out when Nadia makes Drunken Peaches:

** Cranked up a bit more in the "childhood favorites" episode with Nadia's [[BareYourMidriff belly-baring T-shirt]]...which, considering it's a Franchise/GarbagePailKids shirt, still ties into the episode's theme.

* NiceShoes: Nadia has quite the collection, her website shows you where to get them, and every episode is guaranteed to feature multiple shots of them, with an entire sequence in "Fantastic Foods 2" being dedicated to "the moments I hold dearest to my heart"--a shoes montage. The opening credits even get one.
-->'''Nadia''': It's a little obscure, that recipe, no?\\
'''[[TheVoice Director]]''': Who cares, they're [[JustHereForGodzilla watching for shoes]].

* TakeThat: In the "break-up meal" episode, Nadia said that ''mosto cotto,'' or grape must, is a [[JustForPun must]] in balsamic vinegar, and that calling it balsamic vinegar with no ''mosto cotto'' in it is "like calling spray can cheese 'Parmigiana' or Music/{{Nickelback}} a 'rock band.'"

--> '''Nadia:''' My dad used to make this recipe all the time, but instead of port, he'd use homemade wine! ...and there were no peaches. [{{beat}}] *quietly bites into a peach*

* BadassIsraeli: Yeheskel the Spice Agent is an aversion -- a compulsive whiner with a tendency to fold under pressure.

** MistakenNationality: For a French-Canadian born into an Italian family, Nadia's pronounced accent originally led viewers to think she was from New York.

** When Nadia's response to how she deals with stress is "lash out and take it out on [her] loved ones", you know she isn't the sweetest apple in the cart.

* {{Fanservice}}:
** The camera isn't shy about getting good shots of Nadia. Lampshaded by her once after putting something in the oven with "now that you've looked at my bum."

* TheUnpronounceable: The Spice Agent's name is Yehezkel Mizrahi but nobody in the show knows how to say it...[[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped even his caption is in Hebrew]] . Nadia gets around the problem by having a recording of someone else saying the name play on cue. Even the glossary in the first cookbook can spell "Yehezkel" but can't suggest a pronunciation.

-->Alla prossima, you nerds!

A half-hour long CookingShow starring Nadia Giosia as the loudmouthed "Nadia G". In each episode, Nadia makes three dishes revolving around a certain theme, from break-ups to being broke, with plenty of wisecracks and tips from both Nadia and her trio of quirky correspondents.

Originally starting as three-to-five minute episodes on Website/YouTube (all of which [[http://www.youtube.com/user/BitchinKitchenOnline/ are still available]]), ''Bitchin' Kitchen'' proved to be so popular that it was initially picked up by the Creator/FoodNetwork in Canada, then by the Creator/CookingChannel in the United States, where it currently airs every Wednesday. The show's website also offers a Supper Club for repeat viewing. Nadia has also written two cookbooks: ''Nadia G's Bitchin Kitchen Cookbook'' and ''Cookin' for Trouble''.

-> I'm Nadia G, and this is Bitchin' Kitchen!

Has its own [[DrinkingGame/BitchinKitchen drinking game]].

* RunningGag: Nadia has a serious crush on Creator/ChristianBale (once represented by [[FanDisservice Yehezkel in a speedo]]). Also, she wants a [[AwesomeButImpractical jetpack]].

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Hans, Panos and the Spice Agent.

'''[[TheVoice Director]]''': Who cares, they're watching for shoes.

* TheCameo: Many internet and celebrity chefs made an appearance in a music video for the Holiday Special, including WebVideo/EpicMealTime, Vegan Black Metal Chef, Guy Fieri, Andrew Zimmern, Duff Goldman, Kelsey Nixon, Ben Sargent, and Alie & Georgia.

* {{Blooper}}: The "Fantastic Foods 2" episode featured a short segment of bloopers.
