The second book featured for the Whipped Holiday Book Extravaganza is ….
I receive food related books to review now and then. When this arrived, I was a bit surprised. I have not had much TV watching time in the past years so Nadia G had escaped me until now. My first thought when seeing the cover was that she had jumped on Guy Fieri’s coattails (and I guess he doesn’t mind since he wrote the foreward) with her tough stuff image.
If I was surprised by the cover, I was dumbfounded when I flipped through a few pages and found this:
Again, I have not seen the show so perhaps there is some deep humor here that is somewhat of an inside joke for viewers and followers. My first reaction was to locate my toddler and identify if she was close enough to see the open pages. This knee jerk confirmed that I have become a bit prudish in my middle years.
As I continued to flip, I could see that a good amount of thought and effort went into the photography and design of this book, in the same way an enormous amount of work went into Clark Griswold’s Christmas light display. Buried underneath the extreme persona were some recipes that piqued my interest. This mille-feuille in a whiskey glass doesn’t look half bad.
If you are a fan of Nadia G, this is your week! You could win this book. Whether you want it for the recipes, the stilletto-clad hottie or the half naked mohawk dude, you just have to leave any comment on this post to win. Next week Wednesday, I’ll randomly choose one of you and send you this little gem from Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen.
Update 12/14: Elin won the book! Congratulations and thank you to all for your interest.

I’ve been away from TV for quite a while and missed her entirely – but after some investigation, she’s worth a shot!

This show is hilarious. The theme of the show always coordinates with the recipes and stories she tells. I would love to win this book!

I’m just replying because my wife really badly wants this book. It’s a funny show; I’ve seen a few episodes. My wife obviously thinks she’s way funnier than I do.

Nothing wrong with half-naked men! Perhaps I’ll have to start watching her show more often!

She’s so awesome. I would love this book! I would wrap it up and put it under the tree with a gift tag to myself!

I am always impressed by the thoughtfulness of the recipes on her show. It’s worth checking out if you haven’t watched.
December 11th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
I’m a huge Nadia G. fan. And Hans fan…
December 12th, 2011 at 9:52 am
LOVE Nadia G! At first was thinking, “who does this girl think she is!?” But after watching her show more and more, I realized that I actually really liked her. (I don’t think my husband minds watching her either :-p )
December 12th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
When I first saw her all I could think was “How did she get a TV show?” After wathing a few episodes I can say that she is very funny and makes me laugh.
December 12th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
I have never seen the show but with the men on the cover like that, there is always a first time!
December 13th, 2011 at 11:51 am
I first saw her show Bitchin Kitchin couple weeks ago. They were having a marathon and I watched at least 6 shows. Loved it.
December 14th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
I have seen her shows, and although they take some getting used to at first, they are funny, and more importantly her food is good.
