Nadia Giosia (born May 12, 1980), known professionally as Nadia G, is a Canadian celebrity chef, comedian, and punk rock singer who transitioned her web cooking series into a TV cooking show. She is the host of Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen, which has appeared on the Cooking Channel, Food Network Canada and Food Network UK. The show ran for three season on television, but started as a YouTube web-series. Starting July 14, 2014, she starred in a new series on Cooking Channel called Bite This with Nadia G. Giosia also launched a feminist rock, comedy, and food festival in Los Angeles in 2015 called Riot Grill and plays in punk rock band called The Menstruators.
Giosia was born in Montreal, Quebec to a family of Italian immigrants and grew up in the borough of St. Leonard, Quebec. Nadia's unique blend of comedy and cooking is a product of her upbringing where family gatherings typically centered around food and laughter. She has no professional training as a chef and is mostly self-taught with recipes developed from family tradition and trial and error. Bucking the traditional "monkish" demeanor of the celebrity chef, Giosia has a decidedly edgy look replete with tattoos and at least one pair of leather pants with a zip-out crotch.
