Nadia G's Key Lime Habanero Cheesecake is dessert with a kick, the perfect Halloween trick and treat.
Nadia G serves up food with attitude in her new cookbook, Cookin’ for Trouble. Nadia G has transformed her crazy comedy-cooking show Bitchin’ Kitchen into print, complete with rocking recipes, beautiful photos, helpful “Nadvice” and a much-needed Italian slang dictionary for the uninitiated. A cookbook like none other, it’s as fun to read as it is to cook from, with chapters for all of life’s occasions, from (Dysfunctional) Family Pizza Night and Girls’ Night In, to a Veg-Head Extravaganza section balanced by a chapter called Happiness = Bacon.
A Nonna Recipe Showdown chapter and Makeover Meals are sure to be favorites, with irresistible recipes like Nonna’s Penne al Forno and Meatloaf w/ Awesomesauce. Plus a chapter devoted entirely to turkey (Nadia G was deprived of turkey as a child growing up in an Italian family) is sure to come in handy for Thanksgiving. (Da Bird recipe headnote: “Behold the turkey! Now attack it with your face.”)

Nadia G collected some "grandma-tastic" recipes, not just from her grandmas, but from some random grandmas, too.
