If she doesn’t fit in with the food snobs, so be it—she didn’t really fit into the conservative Italian Montreal neighborhood where she grew up either. “I got expelled and sent to the high school where you couldn’t have sharp objects,” she says. “The soccer mom, picket fence thing wasn’t for me. I was all about punk rock and rebellion.” And she has some leftover tattoos to prove it. “I call them my young and inebriated collection,” she says. “I also have a nil symbol on my wrist. When I got it, I was thinking it was badass, like, nothing, zero, nihilistic. I had this German boyfriend, and I was proud to show him, and he’s going, ‘Das is Underground.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah! Totally underground!’ But he meant Underground, as in the subway in London. And he was right—so I now have the London subway logo permanently tattooed on my wrist.” But she’s happy with her artwork, including the four tattoos she designed herself. “They’re just a way to express myself, to tell the world: Listen here, you nerds, I’m different … just like everybody else.”

And with that, Giosia proves she’s in on the joke. So what if a few internet haters don’t like her loud voice—she’s laughing her way through her second book, Cookin’ for Trouble, which comes out this month, and on to the second season of her show, which is set to premiere later this fall. “I don’t take myself too seriously,” she says. “It’s probably why I love being in the kitchen. That’s where everything goes down, where the biggest laughs and the best celebrations happen.”

I have 10 now. The latest one I got was the word "hungry" on left forearm. It's like a really deep metaphor. [Laughs.] The fun thing, though, is when I wear a three-quarter sleeve, it says "hung." That was a surprise to me! I love this new tattoo. I think it's very descriptive of my personality. It feels like it should've always been there.
