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!

A big Thank You to Gina's son-in-law for his time making these videos for us. Also to her family that assists behind the camera. I make so many of Gina's recipes now and every once praises my dishes. I hope the prices of red peppers is not so expensive this winter. Last year they were $2.75 each. thank you for another great video.

When I see a fall sale on red peppers, usually around .99 cents a pound, I fill up my shopping cart. I cook mine on the BBQ until they are charred nicely and let them steam in a pot until I'm able to handle them and peel off the skins and clean out the insides. I FREEZE them in airtight containers, you can use jars or Ziploc bags as well, and they thaw out nicely and taste just like the day you packaged them. Although it can be a big job processing so many peppers, having yummy red roasted peppers all year round is wonderful and makes for a quick and easy side dish to your pasta, sandwiches, etc. Bon Appetite!

Every time I watch Grandma Gina, I smile and I weep tears of joy. It is like reliving the good times with my mother and grandmother. I, along with many, many, many viewers are touched by her zest for life, her caring heart, her concern for her audience and her unique talents. My sincere thank-you to Gina and her exceptionally gifted and dedicated production team. They are like rays of sunshine and they always manage to brighten my day. God Bless you all. Happy Thanksgiving from CANADA!

My Italian grandmother had a massive garden, grew many of her own vegetables, baked her own bread, made her own tomato sauce and pasta, she was amazing. My childhood memories were my cousins and I sitting at the kitchen table, chowing down on her roasted red peppers on her freshly baked Italian loaf. We couldn't get enough and Grandma never let us go hungry, always seconds and thirds in the waiting. Memories like that certainly do last a lifetime. Thanks GINA for helping keep healthy and homecooked meals alive in a world that has been headed toward "convenient" packaged and processed crap.

Gina, I never thought to use a pan with a lid to steam and loosen the skins...I grew up using brown paper bags to do that job, I will be using my pan when I make them again for my family. Thank you for sharing and always bringing me back to my great grandmothers kitchen where food and Love were always served.

Nonna Gina, this is the little girl who lived up the street who never had grandmas or even any loving family, albeit 60+ years later. I would be annoying the heck out of you if you were near my house when I was a child! You are so special and I love to watch you cook. And talk. And make food with so much love. My peppers are almost gone, and I used most of the end-of-season gleanings on your giardiniera. So wonderful to have a garden salad in the off-season! You help me take a respite from life's stress, and you make me smile.

@bconsilio3764 8 ай бұрын

Gina I love you. You remind of my great aunt Anna. She would sing the old Italian songs. Make bread, pizza, pasta, cavatelli, Gnocchi, tomato sauce… all the things. You could ask for fried dough. She served it with powdered sugar. It was warm and yummy. My grandma made all the things as well 18:16 except bread. That she made herself. Grandma’s bread and pizza was better. But it was very rare she would make you fried dough. Grandma had a hard life because her husband was a drunk, cheater, and vagabond. So the dough for bread was precious to her as she had to feed her children and frying it meant less loaves. They truly are still my favorite people! “Thanks for the memories.”💕

I love roasting red peppers... either in the oven, over the gas flame on my burners of the stove, or even on the gas grill outdoors (but I miss out on the aroma when I do outside). Thank you for this video... it never occurred to me to serve them as a side dish on their own with a meal. Love this idea. Nona is a beautiful soul. I'm new here, but I'm learning a lot.

I love you Gina, your channel is still the only one that I subscribed to, I got the notification half an hour ago while I was on a telephone call and of course now that I got a chance to watch the video and write something, lots of other people have written already so I cannot be the first one to comment but maybe next time I can :) My mom makes similar dish in Hungary, but I am sure yours is just as good if not better. It brings me joy to watch your videos and I have watched every single one of them, (multiple times even). Sometimes my eyes get very watery because you talk about the people in your life that you miss, people that are no longer with you, you say that they are in heaven now, it brings tears to my eyes because I know what it's like to lose people, having lost some myself. I think about you and always hope that you are in good health and that you will be in good health for a long time. I even have some stupid ideas about how cool it would be to cook with you once, and what you would say about the food that I cook the best, my specialities, would be so cool if I got a chance to have my food get tasted by you. :) I think you would love these dishes and maybe include them in your videos too :) Much love from Daniel in Hungary

Gina, I wanted you to know the joy you bring to me. Your mannerisms and accent remind me of my grandmother. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1920 from Sicily. I wish when I was older, I could have watched her make the most delicious meals. Nothing came from a can or freezer. My most favorite meal was Sarda. She used fresh fish and anise. Every year, I would ask her to make it for my birthday. I have made many of your recipes. Each one was delicious 😋. Thank you for teaching me the recipes that bring back many wonderful memories. To me, you put love in everything you make. 🙂🦋

You can also use a paper bag or plastic bag to sweat off the burnt skins. I do like the idea of not using plastic though. Roasted peppers are the best! My mom used to make us sandwiches with Roasted peppers and eggs for Friday's lunch since we didn't eat meat on Friday. I also add minced fresh garlic..a must for me.
