Publisher Description
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!

It is now single-page!
Thanks to the previous reviewer for a superb job! We looked at the sample and it was single-page so we took the plunge and made the purchase.
It is still double-page when in landscape, but in portrait it is now single-page. Both are easily readable!
Check it out, and then buy it!
Love Nadia G's Show And The Recipes In Here, But...
This 2-star review has NOTHING to do with Nadia, the recipes, or anything relating to anything in the book. Nadia and the recipes in here are just as fabulous as you would expect and then some! The reason for the 2-star review has to do with the publisher and their decision to format the book the way they did.
The publisher decided to have each page that shows up, not as a single, full-sized page for easy reading on the iPad, but instead, whether in landscape or portrait mode, each page show up with 2 pages, looking as if the physical book is open on a table. This is not acceptable for reading in ebook format, as the writing therefore, is small. Sure, I can resize the page to fit the screen, but this makes turning pages a pain and makes me not want to use this book.
If you love Nadia and her style of cooking, as I do, then I suggest getting the physical book. Until the publisher changes the way the book shows up in an e-reader in a regular 1-page per page, stay away from this version of the book. Sorry, Nadia!
