Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Zia Mimi's pizza dough

    • debkellie on November 20, 2015

      A really simple dough, that makes a fantastic pizza. The double cooking adds a lovely crunch to the pie base. Recommend you try it!

  • Bratwurst and pinto bean stew

    • debkellie on December 14, 2021

      I'm not usually a "bean bake" person, but this was very tasty and store cupboard effective! I added a long red chilli and some mushrooms.. well, Nadia does say "experiment"!

    • lauren_en76m2 on June 14, 2026

      Classic flavours that everyone loves! Every time I make this it’s a hit! I let it cook for much longer tho, like 45mins

  • Chana dhansak

    • debkellie on June 03, 2021

      This is why I love EYB: had some leftover cooked chickpeas and a sweet potato in the back of the fridge.. what's for dinner? EYB to the rescue.. Nadia's dhansak was really very easy and very tasty. Vegan to boot. Wonderfully spiced.

  • Nonna's penne al forno

    • jenburkholder on January 21, 2024

      Made this several times when the kids were young and we all loved it.

  • Balsamic baby back ribs with truffled baked potatoes

    • debkellie on October 02, 2022

      Only did the truffled potatoes & the BBQ sauce: both were a hit. I topped the potatoes with some truffled cheddar cheese for an extra truffle hit; and blitzed the BBQ sauce to turn it into a smooth sauce. Used my standard rub on the pork ribs. Delicious combo.

Reviews about this book

  • Huffington Post

    If a cookbook offers decent recipes and photos, it deserves some credit. But there's nothing special about said recipes, and Nadia's character is tiresome.

    ...filled with great, appealing and drool-worthy recipes. Nadia G. is passionate about food and it shows. The funny anecdotes and comments from her gang of characters add a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun,

HAUTE OUT OF THE OVEN—BITCHIN’ KITCHEN’S NADIA G IS COOKIN’ FOR TROUBLE!
 
Culinary It-girl Nadia G is just as skilled strutting in stilettos as she is wielding a meat cleaver. Now this Julia Child of the Net generation and host of the wildly popular Bitchin’ Kitchen TV show on the Cooking Channel brings her savvy chef know-how and rock star ’tude to glam up your dining experience. Trained at the culinary institute of Hard Wooden Spoon Whacks, Nadia says that her passion for food started in her Italian family’s kitchen, where meals became moments. In Cookin’ for Trouble, she shares recipes and cooking tips for beginner and seasoned home cooks to liven any occasion.
 
• Back-of-the-Fridge Bachelor Brunches: Sometimes what lurks in the back of our fridge isn’t that inspiring, unless it’s been there long enough to strike up a conversation. No groceries, no problem! With just a few leftovers, whip up a scrumptious Sartu di Patate, or a Pasta Frittata that tastes like you’d planned it for days.
 
• (Dysfunctional) Family Pizza Night: Bring your family and thighs closer together with the Giosia familia recipe for Rustica Pan Pizza, Puttanesca Panzerotti, and Traditional Italian Frittelle smothered in a creamy chocolate-nougat fondue.
 
• Makeover Meals: We all get stuck in a rut sometimes, whether it’s the same boring dish, hairstyle, or boyfriend. It’s time for an upgrade! Turn ordinary dishes on their head with inspired crispy Tuna Sliders, smoky Chicken Risotto, and juicy Meatloaf Kebabs.
 
• Plus Nadia’s creative menus for Hi-Speed Suppers, Girl’s Night In, Veg-Head Specials, Student Shkoff-fest, and a special chapter devoted to everyone’s favorite food group: Bacon!
 
I know—we had you at “Bacon.” But there’s more! Loaded with gorgeous photos, more than fifty original recipes, sanity-saving “Nadvice,” a Bitchin’ Party Guide, and a hunky team of food correspondents—Panos, the Spice Agent, and Hans—Cookin’ for Trouble will take your meals from square to sassy faster than you can say “Tsaketa.”*
 
*and for newbies, there’s an Italian Slang Dictionary!
