When my grandfather came from Arcella to NYC and then to Canada he met my grandmother on the train. They fell in love and married. She made these for us. Problem was she was coming from Scotland and didn't speak Italian. He didn't speak English. They had a big family and a long happy life. So maybe the language barrier was actually their "secret spice". ;>} Thank you so much for your videos!
Oh my Dear Gina, my mother used to make something very similar (I’m 79). She used different spices in them, but no matter. No one ever knew what I was talking about, and I could not explain. Her recipe was lost. I used to watch her make the dough, roll, cut, and use the fork after cutting. Then she would fry them. She pronounced “Cannaricol”. Through the years I’ve searched for a recipe to no avail, today, I was blessed to tune in and see what you were cooking. My mother also used a syrup. I’m so happy, I have tears in my eyes; they are tears of joy. Thank you and God Bless you.
Gina's been a blessing to all of us Italians with missing recipes! I just love her.♥️ This recipe was missing for me too! The thing I love most is I know Gina has the real authentic version of each recipe she makes. God bless Gina and her wonderful family for creating this channel for us. I'm forever grateful.♥️✝️🕊️
Grandma Gina, I grew up in a Dutch neighborhood where there were lots of wonderful Grandmas teaching the girls how to cook the Dutch recipes. However, there weren't any Italian Grandmas and so you have been my patient teacher for all those wonderful dishes that I love but never could make as good as the restaurants. God Bless and Thank you for the many wonderful meals you have taught the world. P.S. Keep Singing!
Wonderful video. I cherish all of Gina's recipes. My favorite parts are always when she sings. Back in the 70s, growing up we had a local pizza place owned by an Italian family who was well loved in our area. I remeber as a kid hearing their Nonna singing in the kitchen while making pizza. Those memories are ingrained in my mind as well as the amazing scents and to-die-for food coming from that little place. Gina, you take me back there all the time. Much love ❤️ to you and your family from Florida.
Gina, we love you, think of you every day , pray for your health snd happiness and watch your videos as many time as it takes till you make a new video. God Bless you☝️💚😘🤗
My mother called them struvolli. We didnt shape them with a fork. We just cut them small and added more honey so they were sticky. At Christmas time we'd shape them into a wreath and shake sprinkles over the top. They are delicious!👌❤
My grandmother many years ago made a treat very similar to this recipe, she came from Lipari one of Italy's Aeolian islands...the treat was called Gigi. My other grandmother came from Foggia San Marco in Lamis an area where I think Nonna Gina came from. Pity many of my grandmothers' recipes were never written down :(
My grandmother lived with us and she spoke Italian all the time. I picked up all I could as a child. Now, I am learning Italian. Part of learning Italian is to hear it a lot. I loved the end of the video Gina when you spoke in Italian. Please do more of it in your future videos. I want to pass on to my children the love of the Italian language. Thank you.
My grandmother who was from Naples made these. She made them at Christmas. I didnt know the name of them. I called them Grandmoms WINE COOKIES. I Loved them as a kid. I made them a few times. But haven't done it in a long time.❤😊
Hello Gina and family!!!❤ I was so happy to check my notifications and see you had another video out!!😁 My mother used to make those, too but she rolled into little balls...fried them...coated with honey mixture and sprinkled a little bit of nonpareils on them. She especially made for the holidays. She also made Bow Ties and dusted them with powdered sugar. I hope your children and grandchildren realize how lucky they are to have this library of videos to help them keep traditions going!❤ I wish I had my mom on video like this. How cool would that be? I always tell my 25 yr old son to watch your videos. It's the closest to watching his own grandma cooking. You and my mom look/cook so similarly it's scary! 😁 Everyone I send your videos to says the same thing..."OMG...she looks so much like your mother!". Once again, thanks for making me so happy watching you cook!!! After all...if I wanna eat, I gotta cook!!! 😘😁💃💖🙋
Oh my, the bows! I loved them too! All my mom's recipes were lost. Did they use the same dough? If not will you send me the recipe? The balls we call struvolli and added sprinkles too. At Christmas we'd shape them into a wreath. Great memories!
@@onepanwonders3579 How funny! 💃 I need to see if I can get to my mother's house. My oldest sister still lives there and I hope she didn't get rid of them! I doubt she did. I can just taste them in my mind and the crispiness of them!!! 😋 I hope Gina makes them, too. Just about everything she makes is like my mother's!!! She comes from the same are as my mother's father (Foggia) so, maybe she can hook us up with that recipe? 😋🙏🙏 If my sister has my mother's recipe, I will def send to you!! Most of my mother's recipes were in her head. She just passed a little over a year ago at almost 98. 😞 I can't ask her anymore.
my family ties them in knots like the bows. made at Christmas. sprinklw with multi colored non periels after coating with honey. i too dont have the recipe my mom used sadly but my cousins probably do. i have an old polly-o cookbook from the 60s that has excellent italian recipes might have this cant recall. Seems Ginas recipe could be used and same if not similiar. If i ever have time id like to make some too one day. Great memories and delicious.
Gina thank you for sparking my old memories too. I remember my mother and her mother making these. The only difference was they rolled them into tiny balls. For Easter they would pile them into a pyramid and add sprinkles. Good old memories.
It's a good day when I get to see Nona Gina! I love to hear your stories of when you were little girl and singing while teaching us delicious recipes! God Bless and love you Gina!!❤❤
So beautiful to hear you speaking at the end…reminds of mom and Nona and all my aunts and uncles at family gatherings.I didn’t speak Italian but loved listening to the stories anyway…I’m 74 now and lost my last uncle this year( mom was one of 10 kids)…it’s sad knowing that generation is gone now…but I have a he best memories of them all…and oh the food was unbelievable!!!!!
Aloha, Mother Gina. ♥️🙏🏾✝️Beautiful to hear you speaking your language. Could you teach us some Italian words on your video too? I love you too. Aloha from Hawaii.♥️
Precious Nonna Gina I simply love your recipes and love to hear you sing. Please don't leave us. Also, I miss your sister's and the one who is a Holy Family nun. God Bless you and your loved ones.
One Calabrese to another. Was waiting for someone to mention Turdilli. My mother made them. Definitely, honey, and I believe wine. We called them "turds" for short! Lol. Everyone loved the.
I have to say, I have never seen nor heard of these before, but how fun it was watching Gina make these delightful looking treats. They look so yummy! God Bless Grandma Gina. She makes me smile every time I see her.😊
Looks yummy! I'm so glad i stayed till the end. I don't know what she said, but i loved watching her telling her story in her first language. Beautiful 💐❤️🤍💙
Thank you Granma. You brought back another childhood memory. Wish I could understand your thoughts, but my Italian is gone. You look like you're in a new kitchen . Magic hands are wherever you go. God Bless You, HAPPY EASTER. Love You😇🙏
those are zeppolis a bit different but similiar. At feast theyre a lot bigger and sprinkled with powdeted sugar they shake in the bag. loved eating them hot and got powdered sugar all over my shirt but didnt care ..so good! my dilema was always get zeppolis or the italian pastry from ferraras. i say eat the zeppolis there hot and bring the pastry home! That feast was a lot better in the past as all nyc was.
Ma grand mère nous les faisait en février au moment du carnaval de Nice, en France … en plus Gina lui ressemble tellement … quel plaisir de regarder cette vidéo, suis très ému, merci. ❤
Thank you so much! I've been looking for all the recipies my grandmother took to her grave with her. She wouldn't show us how to make them Now I can make these during the holidays when my grandmother use to make them. I was looking the the Ginnette's recipe and I believe you made them a year or two ago!!! My granmother was from Brusso in Northern Italy. You remind me a lot of her.. I'm named after her!! Thank you so much for sharing all your recipes!! ❤❤❤❤❤
My grandmother used to make this around Easter with Easter bread, now I can make it for my kids and grandkids. I love you Gina, thanks for showing us your wonderful Italian recipes. ❤️❤️❤️
Watching beautiful Grandma Gina working dough is so satisfying and much fun. Those hands are amazing. Her heart is pure full of love . Thank You another awesome video . Sending you hugs and kisses. May God Angels look over your entire Family .🙏😘

It's ALWAYS a good day when the UA-cam notification says Nonna Gina has a new video to watch!!!! Yum yum yum. Yay! Thank you, Gina!
I continue to be amazed she keeps doing this. I'm half her age and probably half her energy too.

Delicious! Thank you, dear Gina and may God bless you!
Love love love to you and yours…. This is the secret to world peace Grandma Gina cooking for us.

They are delicious!👌❤
yes, ours were made the same way. sprinkles and all, so good!
I’m Napoli, they were called Struffoli. I make them at Easter and Christmas.
Thanks for another lovely video❣️

Dear Grandma Gina! I say GOODBYE to my low carb low everything diet. I would eat that whole bowl of little pillows of heaven!
I’m carnivore and I’m sitting here thinking, screw that for a day! Easter I eat whatever I want.
These are a great memory of my grandmother! She always called them " little turds"! Made us laugh! Miss her a lot!
Thank you Grandma Gina for sharing your beautiful memories and recipes with us! ❤
Ti vogliamo bene anche, Nonna Gina 🇮🇹❤🇮🇹
