    FAQ:
    Who is this lady?
    Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. It is in the province of Foggia in the Puglia region of southeast 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 enjoys making food for her family in the same old fashion ways as she was taught by her mother and grandmother in Italy, and also new things she has subsequently learned from family and friends in America. She also enjoys gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
    Where does Gina get her recipes?
    Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
    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 and behind the scenes?
    Grandma Gina’s retired son-in-law, Nick, does the filming, editing, production, and channel management. Her daughter, Maria, helps with food preparation, kitchen setup and fan support. Also, Grandma Gina usually has one or two grand-kids in the kitchen to help.
    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!

    Such a blessing to have a healthy Grandmother who is still around to teach and pass down her knowledge…. So many of us would love to still have our Grandmothers to enjoy in our lives and would for sure appreciate more in our older ages.

    Hello Gina. I love you so much. Everytime I hear you start singing. I cry. My grandmother. Always sang so beautiful. Whenever she cooked. She would get up Sunday morning at 4:30. To make the pasta and she would be singing when she rolled the cavetelli Then she would make chicken and roast potatos. Italian bread and a big salad. Oh how I wish I had my grandmother with me today. I would cook with her all the time. She was very strict and she taught me how to make her stuffed artichokes and to do her eggplant Parmigiano When I was young And her pasta fajoli. I miss her. You bring me good memories Gina. God bless you sweetheart. Linda from Rhode Island

      That’s a sweet tribute to your Grandma, I have similar memories of my Noni and I miss her. I used to love making homemade raviolis with her. When I became a young adult I tried to write down her recipes but she never measured anything. I would ask ‘how much?’ and she would say ‘oh about this much’ and show with her hand! ☺️

    • @SophieBird07
      @SophieBird07 13 днів тому +2

      Yes! My Grandma, so many years ago lived in Rhode Island (her parents were but young kids from Italy in those early years) and they eventually moved to NH (Nashua) where many happy times unfolded over the years. I remember her children (my mother and sibs) reflecting on their youth, when my grandmother was always singing at the top of her lungs while cooking, mortifying them at the time!. I’d so love to hear that again today!

  • @meryldykstra2538

    When I watch you cook, Gina, what I feel is hundreds of years of cooking history shared mother to daughter, mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, generation to generation, over and over. It's a beautiful thing! 💞

    This lovely lady reminds me so much of my Noni. The accent,the jesters…and my Noni was a fabulous cook. She passed at 93 from a broken hip, otherwise super healthy woman. That was 30 years ago. I still miss her and remember her always lovingly scolding me for letting my dog on the beds! 🥰

  • @nonenoneonenonenone
    @nonenoneonenonenone 16 днів тому +4

    Here's a thought: you could collect, publish and sell a songbook of all of Gina's favorite songs. Italian songbooks are actually hard to find in the USA. They're usually all Neapolitan songs.

      She reminds me of my great Aunt as well same accent and speech and so many others likenesses. Brings back wonderful memories of my Italian Immigrant Non and Nonny. Sadly they are all gourmet and customs have been lost over the years but still have recipes in my head. I love it when she says " you no like, you no put, you like you put. "

    Gina, I learned to cook from a friend/co worker with Italian New Jersey roots back in in the late 1970’s .. Before that
    I grew up very far from your food culture- mine was one of east coast Canadian post-war frugality and local root vegetables and fish! Sounds boring, but all good with no complaints..
    I credit my Italian- Canadian friend for opening my eyes and appetite and devotion to the art and love of cooking.
    I thank her and YOU for that as you continue to inspire so many more here on utube.
    You are the best gift for anyone who wants to learn from a revered family icon- dare I say the best grandma- with all the cooking smarts that will be passed down for a long time!
    Xox from one who still loves to cook for friends and family
