Cooking Channel: Nadia, you looked amazing in the Bitchin’ Christmas music video we saw last month. Around this time of year, people are looking for ways to drop a few pounds. What was your secret to fitting into that shiny, red spandex body suit?
Nadia G: Tsaketa! We had a lot of fun on that one, and I was definitely watching what I shkoffed leading up to the shoot. But I never skip meals. As the old Italian saying goes: “A shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and your thighs still shake for dinner.” Skipping meals makes your body think it’s starving, so it holds on to fat for dear life, literally. Always eat three to five logically portioned meals a day to keep your metabolism up.
Cooking: We try to eat as often as possible, too — especially working here at Cooking Channel. What else do you recommend?
Nadia: Only buy fresh ingredients. I can hear some people whining already: “But fresh ingredients are expensive!!!” Umm, no. Processed ingredients are expensive, check yourself. Ugh, now I can hear others complaining: “Goddamit! The freakin’ car battery is dead!” Never mind, that was just some random dude outside.
Cooking: Nadia, you always have a way with words. What about cutting fat or cutting carbs — what’s your approach?
Nadia: I always measure my fats. There’re 14 grams of fat in 1 tablespoon of olive oil! A drizzle here, a drizzle there, and before you know it you’ve shkoffed a day’s worth of fat and you haven’t even chewed any solids yet! Whatever you do, DON’T EYEBALL IT.
Cooking: Got it. And can you share with us your workout routine?
Nadia: The hardest part of getting into shape is staying motivated to exercise, arck! And that’s why I have a personal trainer; I’m too lazy to even cancel appointments. What? Don’t look at me like that — trainers can be cheap! You can find a fitness student on Craigslist who’s willing to work your booty for $20 an hour. You can also find personal trainers.
Cooking: Speaking of personal trainers, doesn’t Hans have his own workout tapes?
Nadia: Oh yeah. You gotta watch this:
Cooking: Thanks Nadia!

Now, after explaining the word "Bitchin" to my four year old, how will I ever tell them what a "booty" is? Those two words together are why we are failing as a society. It is crass and rude. Why haven't they taken this show off the air yet? (then the crying begins)
Keep up the good work Nadia G and Cooking Channel. This show's fans will never let the haters win. Here's to this season and many more to come.
This is why I want to millionaire to get this low class, crazy bitch out of cookingTV…low class low class..but I guess this is why her tv show airs late at nigth…
I totally agree!!! Will NOT watch this show! Society is bad enough as it is! Where's the class??
You only read the first paragraph, right? "Bitchin" is a slang word from 60's surfing culture in California. It was quite prevalent on 70's prime time television too. Like all slang words it went out of fashion for several years. Her show is meant to be a comedy act with food. As to class, I think I will quote Shakespeare from the play Twelve Night. Sir Toby Belch to an overly uptight steward Malvolio, "Dost thou think because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?" Modern day Neo-Victorians forget that one of the greatest playwrights of time was a user of "vulgar" slang when writing and staging his plays. It was written as entertainment for the common man after all. Just as Bitchin' Kitchen is today.
you're awesome
So are you Megan, have a beautiful day.
isnt BK on at like 10pm? why the hell is your 4 year old even awake. lol silly silly people
the commercials are on all day long!
Tsaketa! Sensitive people out there need to chill out! This show just keep's REAL. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the F***IN kitchen! I LOVE Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen! Nadia you KICK A$$! Not only do you teach me and others how to cook, but you make me laugh. I'm also glad that someone else out there feels the same way about people and life like I do. Much love and may blessings rain upon you. <3
this lady is funny….and entertaining. love to cook, and love watching her show!
LOVE this show, just got the cook book for Christmas… with four inch white snake skin (look, not real, dont cry) heels to match. (Although I don't wear them in the kitchen. I'm already 5'9 and the heels put me too far above the stove!) Anyways, the book is awesome! The show is awesome! Thanks for being awesome!
Boy, doesn't anyone pick up on sarcasm any longer? Just wait, you'll see someone use one of my sarcastic excuses of why this show should be off the air. Those who read the first paragraph and not the second, you are as much to blame as the haters of this show. Nadia G rules.
wasnt sure if you were quoting someone else in the 1st paragraph there- and then putting in your own input. BTW I also have never heard someone use the word crass before- now I will try to incorporate this into my vocab for the day
xoxo B
Thanks Brianne. When writing it, I wasn't sure if commenters would pick up that I was making light of people who hate Nadia G for various reasons. I was hoping to see them (neo-Victorians) here as they usually show up on every blog about her show. I tried to cobble together all the main reasons they post, but it does seem a little flat. At least I didn't use the one other phrase that I see, "She is making fun of Italians." Those posters are in a special class all by themselves.
I won't be watching Cooking mutch any more. Nadia G's Title and language is horrible.
YeaHHH boring, terrible and stupid I can't stand her!!!! with her rocky balboa want to be!!! We know she is italian she does not have to be so stupid!!!!!LOL
SOUNDS LIKE LOLA IS JEALOUS OF NADIA ENOUGH SAID
No, "Nadia G's Title (no initial cap needed) and language ARE horrible." You have two subjects, so you need a plural verb. I could take you people more seriously if you'd use correct grammar. :OD
Nadia G, I love your style, where did you find the black oven mitts with the cheetah fur trim? I love those!!!!
Oh em gee, YES! Her guitar shaped spatula is nice too! And don't even get me started on her clothes! Is she not the most boldly stylish chef out there or WHAT?!
Also, ever noticed that naked baby doll, slumping limply next to the colored cabinets in the background? It's creepy, but it adds even more character to the kitchen.
Nadia G, your show could be more interesting if you tone down your attitude and be less show off… be more real and humble. I'm so glad that they put Extra Virgin before your stupid show, this way I do not miss my other favorite show…I can't wait to see you off air for good!!!! Boring Bitching!!!cooking!!!
No offense to you, but it's because of her attitude and open sense of humor that makes this show such a hit. I'm not trying to shut down your opinion here, but it's her down-to-earth honesty, fashion, and atypical silliness that sets her apart from all of the other chefs and travelers on Cooking Channel. A lot of people like her because of it and this network needs variety BIG TIME. There're tons of cooking couples out there that resemble the ones on Extra Virgin, but hardly NO ONE like Nadia! And that's the way it should be.
How mean of you to say Lola. I met her in person and she's incredibly humble, down to earth and sweet in person and was nice enough to autograph her cookbook for me.
She show you what??? She kick what??? you are as crazy as she is…TV shows like that should not be air…..they need to kick her off!!!! If I go to the wine festival in Miami and get to see her I will tell her in person.
If you don't like shows like that, turn your tv off and read a book, or go for a walk. Don't sit here on the show's site and complain about it.
I love Nadia. She is an absolute joy to watch. I have cooked many of her recipes and they are like a gift to my taste buds. I'm tired of the boring reruns from the foodnetwork…………enough Giada, Rachel and Paula. Give me more Nadia, Roger, Chuck, and Ching-He like chefs. Fabulous recipes and personalities.
I love her!!
Is there a story behind her left side hair buzz? or is it fashion?
WOW LOLA you must be a very threaten by Nadia someone you dont know. Really enough already you need to either lose weight or get a life or maybe both.
I'm sorry but when i first saw the title to this show i thought wtf???? but as a chef who works with food and people everyday i find her entertaining and a great show to end a 18 hr shift with. i understand that some parents are offended and omg my kids might see this. BUT…. isnt it our job as their parents to teach them that its just a title and not a way of life. we are the ones responsible for how our kids turn out not socitey, music, or popular television. so lets do this, stop complaining about whats on tv and turn it off, or better yet watch it with your kids and answer their questions and yes there is a way to explain Bitchin Kitchen to a small child as their parent you have to choose your words wisely. I hope that this show stays on the air its a great ENTERTAINING show for anyone who watches.
Hey Dauphin and not cool friends, you people don't need to watch Nadia because Bitchin Kitchen is only for cool people. Dauphin daughter will learning everything bad on Facebook or Google. Leave Nadia's show alone; watch Barney and Mr. Rogers with your daughters. I love you Nadia!!!!! You rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading comprehension must not be your forte.
Nadias show is entertainment, don't watch it if it offends you, don't be a moron and post your bitchin here.
because Badass Kitchen wouldn't make it passed the censors…
Best cooking show on TV!!! Take it from an 81 year old gramma.
I love this show, and learnt a lot
