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!

Could you use vegetable broth instead of water?

Bravo señora!

Do you make gnocchi?
Nonna is very strong to be able to lift those heavy pots full of food… I made this sans the homemade pasta <gluten intolerant and also too lazy to make it>. Delizioso! A definite must make again dish.
Thank you very much. Very interesting and homely warm. Cooked your soup, very tasty. Greetings from Kazakhstan from Russian mother of three children.
I think I could live on soup alone! I love watching Gina and listening to her. I can’t wait to try this myself. Thank you.
Ti Amo Nona!
I love grandmas specially their stories from long time ago, I miss my grandma. Watching this makes it feel like I'm listening to my grandma.
I love her
Well done. Ty
Gina, I love you and I'm trying to cook like you but I feel bad not being able to make any bread that looks like your. I wish you had a class where you could teach people like me. I will watch you every day ,God Bless you to ….
