FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Why does she make such large portions?
When she was in Italy, she would cook and bake in such large quantities so she wouldn’t have to take time every day to make food, and instead be able to work on the farm. Many of her recipes can be cut in half or quartered if you choose to try them out!
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new…?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!

Just give little color in the air fryer then i put the braciole in your delicious sauce for 2 hours as you said to cook in low flame…Thank you so much for your BRACIOLE RECIPE…I enjoy the way you present your cooking; its so sweet and honest ..God bless you always my lovely grandma GINA !!!…☘🌲🌿🌱😊
I think using eggs, years ago, was just to use up eggs. I would leave that out, only speaking for myself.
Signora Gina siete bravissima. Io le braciole cucino anche con un po di vino rosso. E poi la salsa mangiamo con le orecchiette fresche come il primo e per il secondo la braciola. Questo piatto faccio spesso in domenica. Vi auguro una buona serata, gioia e serenità. Un abbraccio della Margherita di Savoia, Puglia provincia Barletta-Andria-Trani. Però quando lei e stata qui a vivere era provincia di Foggia 😊. Vi saluto cara.
Thank you Gina, reminds me of my childhood 🙂 I love to cook too
