    The sweet thing is, that she does this the way her mother taught her, and the way her grandmother taught her mother. Simply beautiful traditions handed down.....you are a joy!

    Gina - God bless you, and the memory of your papa and mama. With your reminiscing and tears, you remind us that we never stop missing our parents - or any loved ones - once they have passed on. They are still with us every day. Love is forever.

    Love this woman because she radiates and spreads love through her cooking. As for the people who give her thumbs down, I’m 100% sure, grandma Gina couldn’t care less about them. I can hear her say, “It’s ok, some people like my cooking, some don’t, it’s ok. This the way I do it, some other people do it another way.” Grandma Ginna is unable to get angry to anyone, no matter what. You keep cooking your amazing dishes, grandma Ginna. I wish I’d meet and kiss your hands!

    I love the fact that Gina doesn't use the latest and greatest gadgets. She doesn't have a $400 KitchenAid stand mixer; she uses a hand mixer. She uses regular kitchen bowls instead of the hoity-toity bowls that cooks on The Food Network use. Gina is so down to earth that she makes me feel more comfortable about my own cooking imperfections. She cooks like my Mom and Grandmom used to cook. Now, I only ever watch Gina; I have ceased watching anything on The Food Network or cooking shows on PBS. For me, it's Gina all the way! I wish she could adopt me!

    • @mytedman1
      @mytedman1 3 роки тому +6

      Everyone who loves to cook should have a Kitchen Aid mixer, and if family wrote to them they would most likely send her one. I laid mine away at the local department store; it must be 25 years old and no matter what new piece they make it will fit my mixer. That said, I have cooking utensils that are over 50+ years old; I toss them in the Salvation Army/Goodwill box then go to the garage and dig them out again. No offense meant.

      I agree with Ms Giansante. I adore her and her cooking. So Earthy and comfy. And no fancy gadgets. I only worry about her using her chef’s knife in a manner where she moves the blade “ toward “ her hand holding the onion. One slip, and she’s off to the ER. But she is confident and precise in how she cuts the onion. Please be careful, Dear Gina!❤️Marco Pellegrino

      My own grandmother never had any fancy gadgets, most from that generation and back did not. Yet they cooked and survived, and the food tasted great, satisfied and nourished the body. Some modern gadgets are nice, but I could make it without them and still serve great meals. Gina cooks with love and that is hard to find today.

    I just found these videos a few days ago and have watched several. In this one Gina says “Mangia Mangia”...And I got immediately teary-eyed as I thought of my own Italian grandma and how she used to say that as we would sit down to eat together at her table. All of these amazing recipes are ones that we have prepared for years in my own family. I so appreciate your videos...they bring back memories of my own dear Grandma who I know waits for me in heaven 💜

You bring back my memories of my grandmother and grandfather, family gatherings and most of all the incredible food we experienced, especially during the holidays and Sunday dinners. I enjoy listening to you and watching your " Old School " way of cooking and the enjoyment you get out of it. I can see the love in your heart ❤️ especially when you speak of your father and mother, singing a beautiful Italian song with precious tears streaming from your eyes. You make me cry. The love you share is amazing. I hope you continue on your awesome journey on this UA-cam channel. I look forward to seeing what the next Italian meal will be. I truly love you and whoever is video recording you, I think it's your son or grandson, tell him he's doing a great job. May God Bless you and yours as you bless me. All my Love 💓 Lisa.

    Gina is the best! She made me feel better. I live in NY and the Italians here pronounce it Pasta Fazule. Today, while I was with my client, her daughter took out a container from the freezer for her mother to eat and it said Pasta Fagioli. I told my client, your daughter took out some Pasta Fagioli for you for dinner. I pronounced it like Gina did and I was quickly reprimanded... Pasta Fazule!! Now I hear a REAL ITALIAN SAY IT CORRECTLY so guess what? I am saying it the way Gina says it! HAHAHA! I can't wait to play this video for her! 😜
    It is so nice to see Gina reminisce about her poppa and momma. She made me cry! Thank you Gina! Looks delicious and the way you teach, is heartwarming. You are a blessing to your family! ❤️

    So much history and love in these recipes.
    Your father's been soup brought me right back to my own childhood. We are, primarily, Scandinavian--not an Italian anywhere in our family tree--and one of my father's favorite dishes was white bean soup with butter, and three slices of bread! I had not thought of it for many years. Such a happy memory. Thank you, for that. Sending lots of love from Vermont. ❤❤❤❤❤

    Gina’s emotion when remembering her dad was beautiful to see. She made a plate for him, in his memory. “He was a happy man.” And the song he sang, to Angelina my love. Such sweet memories.

    Made this today and my husband and I loved it! Soooooooo good. I can't get over the flavor and no beef or chicken stock is used. Thank you!. I will make this again and serve my husband the beans a little olive oil and hot pepper flakes with homemade bread and a glass of wine in honor of you father, Gina. We too love you and your family stories and especially when you sing. I send big hugs and love to you and your family for sharing your wonderful dishes with all of us. I always say if you want Italian food that tastes good go directly to the Italians for the right way to make it. You have never let me down. My last name is Pasquini by marriage so I try to make food that lives up to the name. There are no family recipies passed down as my husband's mother was Irish. So you are my stand in mother in law. I am 71 yrs. old and I have many recipies to pass to my sons now. I have one son who makes his own Pasta and 2 who make woderful bread.

    I love her. Beautiful lady. reminds me of my mother and how she talked about my Gram pa. My mother and father are from the old country Bari. Her ways are very similar to my mother and brought me to tears. Her mother has the same name as my daughter. I really enjoy her videos. She should make a cook book. I would pay to seat at table and eat her food and enjoy her stories and songs. My memories are uplifted! Thank You Gina and the crew she has behind her UA-cam production.

    Gina, watching you cook reminds me of my wonderful Italian grandmother and it melts my heart. My grandmother spent most of her life cooking for us.
    I laugh out loud when you add salt, just like my grandmother 2 tablespoons is more like 4 tablespoons. She loved salt.
    God bless you and thank you for teaching us how to cook authentic Italian food, like my grandmother did.
