      I thonk making it out of love is the key ingredient tto amy meal tasting better. You can tell the difference when they enjoy cooking and doing it out of love verses not being that way or having an off day. Yes it helps if they already know how toncook good. But that other stuff makes it way better for some reason 😊.

    I remember, I was about three years old, my grandmother was still doing the laundry in a steel tub of water and she used a washboard. No washing machine back in the day. (And she had 14 children!) The water coming into the house was cold water only. If you wanted hot you had to make a fire in the stove first, heat the water and carry on from there. My auntie bought her a washing machine when she was able to do so. That was somewhere around 1970 or so. By then my grandparents were old, their children grown. My grandfather passed in 1970, aged 76. I think, we are very spoiled today with our household machines and gadgets. We have no real concept of how hard people like Gina or my grandparents, or even my own mother (now 84) had to work just to do their daily, basic chores. Thank you, Gina, for sharing and singing!

    I love Italian people. They always make u feel so at home and welcomed. I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood. My mom would send me to the corner store, yes very prevalent where I'm from, to pick up some of the homemade ravioli that the store owner's mother would make every day. She reminds me of her so much. That was back home in New Jersey where Italians always showed so much hospitality whether you were Italian or not, and we were not. Enjoy watching this channel so much.

    What Italian people don't realize is that most of the American variations of traditional Italian recipes were invented by Italian immigrants themselves.
    Mediterranean ingredients couldn't be found in US at the time, or were just too expensive/different from the ones in Italy, so they had to invent new recipes using the ingredients that could be easily purchased in US.
    These recipes may not be traditionally Italian, but they are part of the Italian-American history and culture.
    So, even though it's rare to find fettuccine Alfredo here in Italy, I still respect this grandma and the love and effort she puts in here dishes.

Most say things like it takes 5 mins to make but it's actually 45 minutes. Can never trust anything with recipes, really. At least, it's very hard to completely mess something up even with approximations.

    Gina and family, thank you for sharing your recipes and your joy for cooking and life. Gina reminds me so much of my beloved grandmother who came from Potenza as a young girl and connected with her grandkids through her cooking and her stories. She had such an impact I have passed her joy along to my now young adult children. Your videos allow me to give my kids a view into what their great grandma Corizzo was
    Like and why she so influenced my life. Thank you for sharing! JCM
