The Good Stuff

* Absolutely hilarious to read - even if you never make any of the recipes, its a fun read
* Visually beautiful
* We caught an episode of the Bitchen Kitchen because of this cookbook and now have pvr'd episodes - so much fun to watch
* Recipes are very creative
* Never laughed this much while reading a cookbook
* She's kinda hot (Shh don't tell the wife)
* Great recipes for parties, this is not an everyday kind of cookbook
* This is definitely a weekend warriors cookbook with loads of truly different, interesting and delicious meals
* Incredible variety of meals
* Good selection of recipes including ones for special diets such as Vegan, gluten free and even some truly appetizing light meals
* The index is good and the added bits about Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil and Slang Dictionary are a brilliant addition

The Not So Good Stuff

* A lot of ingredients and a lot of steps - not for the basic cook who is impatient
* Not a lot of quick, simple meals - you need a well stocked pantry and time to cook (Jeff: This is not the cookbook for my wife -- Jen: Dude who made the recipe for this review - that's right ME - you were too hung over from your work thing at the Air Canada Centre)
* Intro by Guy Fieri is way too about him (self promotion overload) and not enough about Nadia G - turned me off picking up one of his cookbooks

Favorite Recipes

* Spicy Shrimp Po Boy
* Fritelle
* No Bake Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie
* Vegan Dark Chocolate and Caramelized Banana Pie

Who Should/Shouldn't Read

* Not for the simple or inexperienced cook (though the recipes are easy enough to do, you need the patience and passion to do it)
* Fabulous for the cook who likes to have fun and experiment with new things
* Definitely for those who have a quirky sense of humour -
