When i feel sad or lonely, when most things don't go the way i would like i just watch Nonna Gina on UA-cam whom she reminds me so much of my late Mom i shed few little tears of joy. Thank you Nonna for bringing so much happiness to our troubled world God bless you may you have a long and happy life 💗💗💗💗
I can't decide what I love more, learning all of these wonderful recipes or listening to you speak. Sometimes I have to rewatch because I've been listening to you not the instructions! You make me miss my mama and grandma so much. I wish I could squeeze you! Thank you for all the joy you have given me. Caralee Sangster
I’d love to see an episode with photos of Nonna Gina’s life in Italy and America while she tells her wonderful stories and sings her songs. She reminds me of my nonna e bisnonna, from whom I got my love of cooking and their pots and pans when they passed on. Nonna Gina is a treasure. God bless her.
Love you Gina! My mom passed away 15 years ago and for the first time in a long time, when I watch your videos, I feel like I have a cooking “partner” again. Also love that you sing in all your videos. Beautiful and from the heart! You’re fearless! Know you are not alone! Praying for you always! Much thanks to your family for supporting you! Hugs to you all! A huge fan, Vikki P.S. Can’t wait to make these chickpeas!
I'm so fond of you Gina! I discovered your channel last year and now more than ever during this time of isolation, I find great comfort in your videos. My grandma Concetta (born in Naples) was my first cooking teacher in her little kitchen here in Los Angeles. Your videos bring forth some of my best memories from childhood. I just love everything about you. Sending much love and gratitude to you and your family for sharing your beautiful spirit! 💜💫
I wish she would write a recipe book. I would love it!!! I was supposed to learn how to make Gnocchi from my Grandmother but she died before she could teach me. I learned from Grandma Gina. Thank you!
Thank You, Gina, for coming to America 🇺🇸 and sharing your wonderful cooking and culture with us. We love your recipes, songs and your stories. 🥰 Good Bless You and your Family. 🇮🇹
I used to make this as an approved snack for a diet I was following. Very high in fiber and the good carbs. I used the canned version, drained and dried them, salt, pepper & garlic powder & cooked in the oven! I think I’ll try soaking the beans in orange peel. They look so yummy! Thank you Nona Gina! I hope you & your family are safe and sound! 😘❤️🙏🏼
Piango sempre lacrime di gioia quando vedo i tuoi video, le donne come Gina hanno avuto una vita difficile crescendo ma rimangono forti per la famiglia. Mi manca così tanto mia nonna che era dalla basilicata vicino a matera. Gina, mi ricordi di lei. Dio ti benedica per aver condiviso con noi. Tanto amore dall'Inghilterra.
I love watching Grandma cook. All of her recipes are perfect and I especially love to see her enjoy her food as she watched her favorite food tv star!!!
Gina and her family are so lucky to have each other...such a wonderful thing that her family does this channel of her recipes. May it last a very long time💕🙏🏻💕
Well I started to cry watching her remembering my mom who has passed away. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY.May the lord bless her lovely woman I just love this snack.
Love grandma Gina. Thank you for sharing all these recipes. I love to see the old school way. And thank you for keeping grandma safe during these tough times.
We had Easter Brunch today at an organic restaurant. The Cobb Salad I ordered had crispy garbanzo beans in it and they were wonderful. What a great replacement for croutons (gluten). So tonight I am in search of recipes to roast my own!! This is an awesome video and my Italian mom would be proud that I've learned from this lovely woman! Thank you Gina and family for taking the time to share this healthy snack!!!
Thank you, Gina❣️❣️❣️. I love hearing your precious memories of growing up in Italy with your family! Could you please tell us what a typical day would have been for your mother/grandmother? Did they start their day making bread & pasta dough & salsa? And how many hours did they spend cleaning house & laundry? I’ve read that Italian women are the cleanest in the world! Yes, Lever Brothers (manufacturers of cleaning products) did a study & found that Italian women spend more time cleaning than any others (which surprised me; I would have guessed Swiss or Japanese). You have a huge & loyal fan base & we all love you🧡❤️♥️
We've been watching Gina for years, and now it's New Years Day 2023. I too enjoy watching Gina on TV as much as she does. Many healthy years to come cooking Gina. Ciao...Filipppo
Thank you. Lovely Italian grandma. Not only giving me a wonderful recipe, also warming my heart. U make me think of my grandma, she passed away two years ago.
I Love her, during these times her videos make me smile!!! It is soo rare to find people who hold on to their traditions and upbringing and still be able to reproduce the food they grew up on!! Love it! God Bless you all and stay safe!
Signora Gina, what a blessing you are to your family and to your UA-cam fans. Listening to you talk about your family reminds me of my mother who is your age. God bless you. Love to watch you in the kitchen.
Oh, to have a nice wood fire with hot coals, a long-handled wire basket to toast the chickpeas in with the whole family after a wonderful meal with great food, bread, wine and Gina, to make sure the little ones shake it just the way her mother showed her. This is true beauty.
Hello Gina, I am in Corpus Christi Texas. I want you to know that I dont miss one episode. Your conversation with us is beautiful. Stay safe and blessed!
I don’t really cook much. But I love Grandma Gina’s recipes. Most of all I enjoy watching Grandma Gina. She makes me smile. Thanks for sharing a small portion of your life with us.
With orange peel...wow! I've never seen this recipe using that before watching your video. Thank you, Gina! You make us feel happy when ever we watch your videos. God bless you. 😊❤️
I have 2 Grandmothers and they are both gone...but in you Gina...I found a third one and you are alive and well. God Bless you...You have no idea how much pleasure you have given to people all over this planet with your delicious recipes. Stay alive !
During these times the connection between people and their experiences has become so important. The love, the passion and the understanding that we all want and love the same things together, memories of our family and the good things that bring hope from the past into the future. Just small things, but great things really, magnifico!! Thank you.
I love Grandma Gina!!! She reminds me of my Noni .... At age 90 she still was making homemade raviolis!!! She stretched the dough out so it was paper thin!!! She came to America when in 1914, 3 months before WW1 broke out.... thank God!!! My love to Gina and entire family!!! 😘😘😘😘😘
You’re a pure love and so much fun to watch when you cook all these delicious and yummy foods and snacks , Thankyou so much grandma Gina 🙏 and bless your heart ♥️🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🧚♀️🙋♀️
Gina, you are the best! I watch your videos just to hear your accent - reminds me of many of my parent's relatives, most of which have already passed away. So hearing your voice is very nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood. I watch with my young sons so they can appreciate their italian culture. I pray that when this is over you can go on tour to visit fans. Woodbridge Ontario, Canada (part of Toronto) has the largest concentration of italians in all of Canada, and we would love to meet you! Book tour??? May God bless you and your family.
I made theses when I lost 50 pounds for a healthy snack when we went to Europe. Such amazing snack! Thanks for sharing. Don’t use can beans tho. Doesn’t work as well.
Congrats! I think we should be respectful to our elders. Because their experiences are so valuable for us...The one behind the camera shows us this respect in such a way. By the way, she looks younger than she is! I loved this channel and grandma so much.
I'm making these today, but soaked my peas in water with lots of minced garlic. Once dried, I added a little olive oil, garlic and salt. It may be 100 degrees here, but I cannot wait to try the snacks you inspired me to make.
Sweet 👍 jina I love the cabbage soup o my gad the story "the black cats "beautiful oll my family love at I love your song I love you r story I love your ❤️ garden and kitcheni feel "I am wiht you in the kitchen
Grandma Gina is an angel! I don’t know what I enjoy more- her lovely accent or the delicious food she’s presenting in such a unique way! I am looking forward to every new clip. Sending lots of love from Serbia to Gina and her family! Bless you all ❤️🥰🤓🌹🌷 👌🇮🇹 🇷🇸
I was thinking about my nonna's roasted chickpeas today. I have never been able to replicate them, but figured there must be a recipe out there. Nonna Gina reminds me so much of my nonna that I lost in 2020. She was from the Caserta area in Italy. Thank you🤍
🥰THANK YOU again. You & I are about the same age. It was a very difficult day. I lost someone I love very much. I’m telling you this because I want you to understand how important you are. The world needs,desperately needs more people with a great outlook on life that you have. You lift the spirits & help heal the heart of many, many people. May you do what you do and how you do it for another 25 years plus❣️
Beautiful video !!! I could watch Grandma cook and talk about the good old days all the time. This is what life is about. Thank you and God Bless you. I must try this receipt
Gina, you remind me so much of my Grandma, Filomena, who came to America from Naples when she was 12 years old. She used to cook a lot of the things you cook. Thank you for your videos, and may God bless you.
You are adorable! I’m going to try to make the chickpea snacks, too. Also, I found the long-handled measuring spoons & bought myself the 4-piece set: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8 cup - just what I needed. You are so kind to help me with the information about the manufacturer. Take good care of yourself & I’ll keep watching you! Thank you, Jackie Shelton
Gina, you are amazing. I've watched since your first video. You took the time to share with us all of your amazing knowledge and your history and all of that delicious food. I want to thank you with all of my heart. May God bless you always.
I don't know how can I say love you my dear Gina GOD bless you and your family 💐💐💐💐♥️I am 62 and grandma for 3 grandchildren love you very much grazie I Am Iranian and work for some Italian so I am glad to know you dear Angel
It is such a joy that you share your heritage with all of us who are so grateful. So good to see you are surrounded and blessed with such a lovely family. You are so precious and I hope you keep sharing your delightful recipes with us! God bless you and your family!
Sweet Gina, you remind me of my grandma who came from Cieti, italy. I love listening to you speak; it brings me right back to my childhood. God Bless you, Gina. Stay safe, and be well.

Lovely! The ancient Greeks used to enjoy roasted chickpeas, usually to accompany wine and friendship. Without the orange, in those days. I'm going to try them.
Ty will b making these for my girls. We are healthy here in my part of Florida and thanking the Lord. Love ur stories my grandma and grandpa came from Calabria and had a farm. Appreciate hearing the old stories as my ppl have passed to the other side. Ty ty. Ur like my grandma
Oh my god, thank you for uploading this. I just wanted to know how to roast chickpeas but I got so much more out of this video! So cute and so endearing, and as someone who understands Italian it was SO CUTE to see her making an Effort to speak English but I loved hearing the lil Italian that slipped out! Her smile is so infectious and I couldn’t stop smiling while watching her... reminded me of my late grandparents who I was extremely close to! I’ll definitely be subscribing because watching this just made me so happy! God bless your family!
Dear Gina, Your show is my favorite! What a blessing it is to watch you cook. I try your recipes, and get many compliments. I love your singing. It makes me think of my mom, and my family. So thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
Nonna Gina reminds me of my Nonna that has now passed on. Gina you bring back so many wonderful memories for me spending time with my Nonna. Thanks so much. God Bless you and your family.
Tonight is the first time I'm learning about you. I forgot how I was led to you but I enjoy watching your videos. There's something very magical about you😘
I could listen to her all day long, God bless you Nona 🇮🇹 your flag and mine 🇮🇪 Italy and Ireland. Our cultures were so similar. Though today things have changed.
Every time I watch you I miss my wonderful mom and grandma who taught me to cook and how to love deeply traditional customs . Growing at our lady of la salate
I am sorry I have never commented in the past. I have immensely enjoyed watching the videos and listening to your singing. Best wishes for continued success and enjoyment of your excellent culinary skills.
Gina, I too have memories from childhood of sitting in front of the fireplace with my Mississippi grandparents who had a farm. At the end of a hard working day for my grandfather, we sometimes just listened to the crackling and popping of the wood burning as we all were lost in our own thoughts. We had rocking chairs and it was so comfy and peaceful. The embers turning red in a big log were fascinating to me. The warm feeling of being close to two people I loved with all my heart was so strong, even as a child I knew it was something special. That was in the l950's not long after my father came back from WWII. I truly enjoy hearing your memories of your family in Italy. (In the summer they had a big porch where we sat in the evening to get any breeze we could. It was so dark that the only thing I could see was the bright burning of tobacco in my grandfather's pipe as he smoked.)
Gina hello I am new to this video! You remind me and speak just like my mother! We came from Italy 1962. Lost her several years ago. When I miss her I look at one of your videos. Like I was in her kitchen!
Gina! I love your show...I love your recipes... I love your singing and all of your meme! But most of all I love you! Stay healthy and please be safe! Things will get better!
Hey Gina I just want to say you remind me of my nonna that I miss so much and now I’m older and I wasn’t sure of so many recipes you have taught me so much that I can now teach my kids ❤️ we love you and are so grateful ❤️ baci e abbracci from Australia 😘😘😘😘
How lucky Gina’s family is to have such a blessing in their life. May God grant you a long healthy life lovely Gina
May Dar I feel she's like my nonna that is still in Italy. I live far away but still see her online!!
Ciao Gina!
I wish she was a part of my family! Just love watching her! She makes me smile 😊

Tonight is the first time I'm learning about you. I forgot how I was led to you but I enjoy watching your videos. There's something very magical about you😘
What a lovely lady. I enjoy your recipes , and the way you share your sweet memories. God bless you mama Gina.
I could listen to her all day long, God bless you Nona 🇮🇹 your flag and mine 🇮🇪 Italy and Ireland. Our cultures were so similar. Though today things have changed.
Every time I watch you I miss my wonderful mom and grandma who taught me to cook and how to love deeply traditional customs . Growing at our lady of la salate
I am sorry I have never commented in the past. I have immensely enjoyed watching the videos and listening to your singing. Best wishes for continued success and enjoyment of your excellent culinary skills.
Gina, I too have memories from childhood of sitting in front of the fireplace with my Mississippi grandparents who had a farm. At the end of a hard working day for my grandfather, we sometimes just listened to the crackling and popping of the wood burning as we all were lost in our own thoughts. We had rocking chairs and it was so comfy and peaceful. The embers turning red in a big log were fascinating to me. The warm feeling of being close to two people I loved with all my heart was so strong, even as a child I knew it was something special. That was in the l950's not long after my father came back from WWII. I truly enjoy hearing your memories of your family in Italy. (In the summer they had a big porch where we sat in the evening to get any breeze we could. It was so dark that the only thing I could see was the bright burning of tobacco in my grandfather's pipe as he smoked.)
What wonderful memories..... God Bless!
Gina hello I am new to this video! You remind me and speak just like my mother! We came from Italy 1962. Lost her several years ago. When I miss her I look at one of your videos. Like I was in her kitchen!
What a sweetheart! She is a lady we'd love to spend time with. Cooking means LOVE to her! thanx
Gina! I love your show...I love your recipes... I love your singing and all of your meme! But most of all I love you! Stay healthy and please be safe! Things will get better!
Hey Gina I just want to say you remind me of my nonna that I miss so much and now I’m older and I wasn’t sure of so many recipes you have taught me so much that I can now teach my kids ❤️ we love you and are so grateful ❤️ baci e abbracci from Australia 😘😘😘😘
