What’s the recipe for the perfect hangover cure? What can you cook to heal a broken heart – or break someone else’s? On Thursday, April 1 at 11pm ET/8pm PT Food Network Canada’s brand new Canadian series, Bitchin’ Kitchen explores delicious recipes for life and love with a twisted sense of humour and a rock ‘n’ roll edge. Previously an acclaimed web series, Bitchin’ Kitchen has received awards for ‘Favourite Mobile Series’ and ‘Hottest Emerging Digital Brand in Canada’. Now in its television debut, what was once a series of three-minute webisodes available only online, has evolved and expanded into a full season of 13, 30-minute television episodes airing exclusively on Food Network Canada.
Bitchin’ Kitchen is not your average cooking series. Host Nadia G cooks in three-inch cherry stilettos, she has a tea towel made of chain mail and her kitchen is decked out in pleather and animal print. Armed with a crew of misfit food correspondents, fresh organic ingredients and a sharp tongue, she whips up the perfect blend of food and humour. In each episode she shares accessible, inspiring recipes to suit life situations from breaking up to making up, all peppered with her signature ‘Nadvice’.
“Ever since I created the Bitchin’ Kitchen web series three years ago, I dreamed of seeing it on Food Network,” said Nadia G, host of Bitchin’ Kitchen. “I can’t wait to rock the kitchen with our bitchin’ blend of great Casalinga food, comedy and a sassy attitude that makes cooking fun.
During the premiere episode of Bitchin’ Kitchen, viewers can participate in a live blogging event at www.foodnetwork.ca with Nadia G and Food Network Canada bloggers. Then following each broadcast, full episodes of Food Network’s Bitchin’ Kitchen, recipes from the series and behind-the-scenes photos will be available for users to enjoy at www.foodnetwork.ca.
