FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, 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 spends her time cooking, 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?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
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!

I cooked the recipe just like she did, using Parmesan cheese (I'm not sure why the description shows Romano). But it came out tasting fantastic. I'm thinking that those dislikers are people who may have been taught to make it a different way by their Nonnas.

My nana is 92 and you remind me so much of her. She allowed me in the kitchen ONLY TO WATCH!! NEVER TO ACTUALLY COOK. LOL. although I knew her recipes i never turned on a stove or oven until I was 19 and newly married. I have to say my 1st year of marriage i lived and learned!! Also i burned alot of meals. Italian grandmothers are the BEST. My nana nursed me back to health after my surgery from pancreatic cancer. I was 46, and nana 87. My insurance company wanted me to go to nursing home for 8 weeks and my nana said no way!! Wishing you the best from Chicago.

Why do I appreciate Ms. Petiti's videos so much? First, the recipes taste good. But there is more. Gina Petiti who is seen cooking rather than just a pair of silent hands like in a lot of cooking videos. Also, all the handling and details that she brings. Her enthusiasm which makes her talk to us about her and sing for the pleasure. But especially when she tastes. You have to see her eyes and her smile to understand her pleasure in cooking. Finally, I find it so reassuring to hear her often say: "If you like more, you put more. If you like less you put less. It's OK" Longue vie à Madame Petiti.

Sono molto riconoscente per il suo ottimismo, e la semplicità di vivere. Lei porta tanta gioia nella mia vita e io ho imparato tantissimo da Lei. No solo che spesso utilizzo le sue ricette, ma anche pratico il suo modo tradizionale di cucinare. Grazie del cuore per tutto!

Gina your cooking is wonderful, and I've learned so much about life as well as cooking from watching you, but what I value most is listening to you. When you speak, for those minutes I hear the voice and words of my Nana Maria, and I never thought I would hear her voice again. (She was born in southern Italy). I lost my dear grandmother years ago, but I feel her presence and hear her voice when I see your videos. That is the very special gift you give to me, and I am so grateful to you and your family for your videos. My dad was an Italian tenor, and he sang many of the songs you sing in your videos. I lost him too, but hearing you sing brings back those precious memories. I cannot thank you enough for these beautiful moments. I look forward to each and every video you make. God bless you.

At 8:49, I love how she says, "You just a-follow me..." She says this in several videos and I do! I've made a number of her dishes and they're terrific! I've even told my friends, "Watch nonna Gina and follow her. That's all, just follow her." ....LOL, dear nonna Gina....I just a-follow you.... then everything's okay

I am 68 years old but when I watch this beautiful lady cook I feel like a young girl in my own grandmother’s kitchen. Gina is so full of love and happiness that she makes me forget about my worries. Thank you!

So happy to stumble onto your channel. My sweet Italian grandmother has been gone for 19 years. Listening to you is like being back in her kitchen. I never noticed her thick accent. I understand every word you say. Wonderful memories. You are real treasure.

Helloo Gina reminds me a lot of my grandmother. We are from Abruzzo (Crecchio) not so fare from where Gina is from. My grandma moved in the same way as Gina does. Her hands etc. Now we are all over in Europe and US. I am in France, some of us in Germany, some in Belgium and Boston. This makes the memorys even stronger. Everybody far from italy but keeping the culture! Grazie mille Gina and Famiglia. Best wishes. Christian

This is about the ingredients of a dear soul and generous heart.....for those who said she lost you with the peas and the egg.....you weren't paying attention, to this whole spiritual experience! and......you got a lovely song at the end too!!!!! Watch and marvel, that she is teaching you something.....more than just cooking. I always look for the bigger picture!😇😍😘 Gina, you are special!

I had a neighbor John Ippolitti I used to go over and help him make all kinds of pasta's and he would sing that song so joyfully. I never will forget that. I was 7 yrs old I'm 80 now and its as fresh in my mind as it was then. Gina reminds me of John so much. Thanks for sharing. ECF
