Good news for feminism! And cookery! YAAAAAY! (Please excuse me, but it’s been a while.) If you thought feminism was having a bad hair day, look no further than new icon: Nadia G.

She’s coming at ya from the screen via Bitchin’ Kitchen. (Food Network, 9.30pm weekdays.) Of course, when it comes to domestic telly goddesses, we have our own hot homegrown heroine. Nigella can carry on too – searing steaks amid her fairylit uberkitchen, swishing her mahogany mane about, sucking sauce off her fingers and generally being every man’s dream wife. There’s room for both of them, and Nadia is a welcome slice of fierce.

You might not have seen her yet on this side of the pond, but it’s time, dudes! Nadia Giosia is a high-octane comic chef/rock chick (songs include I’m Never Drinking Like That Again and B****, Nobody Cares about Your Wedding Blog) with the looks of a flower fairy gone biker chick and a pottymouth to make Gordon Ramsay blush.

She makes superbitch Naomi Campbell (The Face) look like a primary school teacher. But – crucially – she has a heart of gold and is on a mission to feed your soul. Written and hosted by Nadia, Bitchin’ Kitchen was spawned from a web series and encourages even the laziest stoners to whip up flavour-packed grub that could keep an army of bouncers happy. (Well, maybe not, but you can enjoy her banter while you scoff your Domino’s Mighty Meaty.) Nadia has no dinner party pretensions – she cooks hearty fare to put hairs on your chest. Such as pork belly buns doused in barbecue relish, cherry pie laced with whiskey using shop-bought pastry (Nadia has no problem with short-cuts – she’s as keen as the next woman to hang up her apron and go raving in her 10in stilettoes).

She’s beautiful, Bronx-badass… and absolutely bonkers, which is an intoxicating blend. As one male colleague told me: “She scares me stiff!”.

In every Bitchin’ Kitchen, Nads is wiry and wired, delighted to be creating another feeding frenzy ready for ‘shkoffing’. She rustles up each batch of food to the accompaniment of whatever Addams Family Hammond organ/opera/guitar freakout she fancies, with many a jabby close-up at her knuckle-dusters. She serves each dish to the hungry lens before diving in like a woman possessed (“and in it goes into the face-hole!”).

It sounds ridiculous, and it is. But this is turbo-charged cookery-as-entertainment. Any boring bits are either sliced off in the post-production room or outsourced to one of Nadia’s male minions (Hans, the oiled and buff voice of nutritional info, Panos, king of meat and fish, and the Spice Agent all pop up for quirky cameos).

But the real joy of Bitchin’ Kitchen is, of course, Nadia. Born in Montreal, into an Italian immigrant family, she has a punchy line in hangover stories/personal fantasies direct to camera.

To give a flavour of Nadia, allow me to quote from a Seven Deadly Sins show: “Tips to avoid sluggishness. Think positive. Reward yourself.

“You don’t need much energy to make a bitchin’ meal.

“You know, sometimes I think how cool it would be to have a clone. A little Nadia G that does all the hard work while I lie around in a moomoo bickering with a half-naked model who doesn’t speak English. But that’s not gonna happen. The clone will eventually rebel. And when that dark day dawns, we’ll have to fight to the death.

“A la vassima!” Cue manic grin as she unveils a cauldron of Korean stew to the screen.

Yes: odd. But you get used to it. And the woman is freakin’ awesome.
