We are watching old school cooking...This is poetry in motion...a TRUE art form...If you walk into ANY kitchen these days...the person making (in this case) Cookies...they will have everything in a big bowl...with a kitchen aide mixing everything ....not on a wooden table being mixed by hand....this Woman is amazing...I pray her family knows how special she truly is...she makes ALL her food with love in her heart and a song on her lips...God bless you Nonna Gina...I appreciate old style cooking...for me...this is the only way to cook...I have asked a few times before...will you please adopt me??? Lol...Bona sera ❤️❤️❤️Te Amo
Nona Gina...you are my life saver. Four months ago my husband died, two weeks later, fell down my stairs on my face with a concussion and brain bleed. When I get home from the hospital, my mother died. Too much grief and loneliness. But I found your program and it lifts my heart. Love cooking and watching you make such delicious looking dishes. But I only have me to feed so I freeze lots of food. Sometimes I give to the police who helped me on the day my husband died. Same with EMS and the firemen too. But too much grief. I need to watch and try the your recipes. You are so happy, God bless. My husband was from Scafia, Sicily. His mother gave me many recipes that he loved. But God bless you for helping me during this time. I even try to sing too and sometimes a little happy dance. You are very lucky to have lots of people to feed. It makes the heart happy. Love you, Nona.
May God watch over you and guide you through this difficult time. In my 84 years I too have been through "too much grief", but my love of God, my belief in the power of prayer and the love for my family keeps me moving forward. Please know that you are in my heart and in my prayers. God Bless You!
@@BuonAPetitti I send you all my blessings for the holidays with your family. May the heavens keep you safe and healthy to enjoy this new endeavor with TH-cam. Merry Christmas and please keep cooking for all of us on TH-cam and especially for your family.
Mille grazie per questa memoria della nonna mia, Maria Teresa “Grammy.” My nonna spent every weekend with our family - cooking and baking ALL of these magnificent dishes. Papà used to sit in our kitchen and play old Neapolitan folk songs... Hearth, home and our Catholic faith were central to our lives. Oh how I miss my Grammy. Ti viglio bene Nonna Teresa. 🙏🏼. Tanti auguri signora Gina!!
Thank you for including the writing recipe, even though you have a book where we can access your wonderful recipes you still kind enough to share with those who are only looking for an specific recipe and for sure inspired me to go and get the book because of your kindness. Looking forward to try more of the recipes and shared with loved ones, Blessings to you!!
I love watching you cook. But, I enjoy listening to you talk and sing just as much. I lived in Italy when I was in the U.S. Navy. I stayed for 5 1/2 years. It was my favorite duty station. I felt at home there. I love my country but I fell in love with Italy and the Italian People. Thank you.
I rather watch her cook all day than watch t.v. they don't cook old school on t.v. like grandma Gina what a sweet lady. Boy I kn. her kids & grandkids eat good coming threw her doors
This woman reminds me so much of my friend Edy who lived till 95 yrs old with so much energy! I love Gina’s singing as wel Now this recipe reminded me of my childhood when I was a teenager the woman across the street would make these and her name was Mrs Waldo she was an old Italian woman I used to help her make them and never wrote down the recipe was upset with myself and now Gina put this out on u tube I’m so excited I will make them and I thank All these great Italian woman you are the best! And thank you 🌹🌹🌹
Gina I love the stuffoli like my Nona, she lived to 104 and remembered everything in her life. May God grant you a long life with your family. Margarita

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday, many blessings to Gina. Although I'm not Italian, she makes me feel like one. In each video it's plain to see that she's filled with love and joy!

I cannot imagine putting this kind of time and energy into Christmas cookies. So much love . She is adorable! She does everything with a smile on her face. You will be so happy that you have recorded these videos.
My mother, father and grandmother are all gone now. Watching you makes me miss my grandmother so much at Christmas. She used to bake up a storm! Now I'm a grandma and I try to carry all of those traditions on with my grandchildren too. Thank you for helping me add more cookies to our tradition! And Gina, thank you just for being you! You are always so happy that you make me happy too!
I love to see Nonna Gina and hear her stories and her recipes. I never met either of my grandmother's and my mom has passed 4 years now. Seeing her share and make her recipes makes me miss my mom so much! Thank you for sharing your Nonna with us. Please keep sharing your videos with Nonna Gina and her recipes. :)
Gramma Gina, you never cease to delight ! I love it when you talk about your life in Italy. Your eyes twinkle and your voice is full f joy while sharing beautiful memories.

Thank you for posting! I have lost my mother and grandmother, so no Italian women left in my family😔 listening to Gina’s voice and stories brought back wonderful memories. Needless to say I cried all the way through this lovely video. God bless,, and Merry Christmas to you Gina and your family 🙏😘🇨🇦 Thank you!
It amazes me how well Gina tells her stories from Italy. I love hearing her memories. She’s got an incredible memory, both for events AND the words to the songs she sings. God I adore Gina’s ways.
I used to love to listen to my nana when she would tell me about her youth. I miss her but I know she is in heaven with Our Lord. God bless this little woman.
I am so excited to see you make these. My grandmother made up plastic Christmas round bowls for each household. Omg. We were so happy to have them. Thank you for the wonderful visit.
You grew up with tremendous love💕 and obviously you love and adore your family you show us love in every video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you and yours. 💋
Hearing her song and story about her mom was so heartwarming ! Neither of my grandmother's were nice or "grandmotherly" you are so blessed. Thank you for sharing her with us!
I love when you share stories about your mother and your family. I also love watching all your videos , you remind me of my sweet Italian grandma Sarah that worked so hard in her kitchen and in her 60 acre field were she grew so many fresh vegetables which she sold to the local grocery stores to help feed our community. My grandma made bread everyday and at Christmas she would make wine cookies, fig cookies and so many other cookies and treats by the hundreds because our large family. She brought all that tradition and knowledge from Sicily Italy when her family came to America. She passed away before I had a chance to learn all that she had to offer. But I do know one thing is for sure; Italian women are truly the most hard working women on the planet. God Bless You for sharing your knowledge and wonderful Italian recipes that will live on forever❤️
Nonna’s videos are always great. They bring me back in time and memory. My grandparents came from Calabria and Abruzze. Nonna’s accent, her baking, her cooking her singing - happy memories. Keep them coming Gina. And your camera man does a fine job!
944gemma God bless you! Another paisano Calabrese e Abruzzese. My Mom used to say, the Calabrese in my twin & I made us Hard Workers, & the Abbruzzi in us? Well, she’d say, that just made us HARD-HEADED, like mules Of course that was my Dad’s side. 😁 Both are the best of 🇮🇹
Any seasoned cook knows how much time & dedication this takes. On your feet most the time, hunched over or bending/moving constantly. Nona is 80+ years old & can run circles around me in the kitchen 😂 Greetings from CA! We love you!
You warm my heart! I lived with my Italian grama until I was 8 yrs old. You remind me of her so much. She came to America in 1928. Those were hard times. She had 4 children and lots of grandchildren that she loved so much. Her cooking was wonderful and she used to sing like you. I love watching you cook and sing. You are leaving an important and warm tradition for your family. Amoure Gina!
Dear Nonna Gina, I pray your family realizes what a blessing they have in you. You remind me of my grandma so much I loved to sing with her when she cooked We made pasta together we made the gravy, See always bless the flour. her garden was her joy We used to go to sit in the garden to eat the tomatoes she would take the salt shaker in her apron pocket and we will go out and pick the tomatoes and eat them. She would sing Bella bambina to me. Keep singing Nonna Gina. Be happy stay well God bless you. I love to watch you cook and sing. I pray you stay well and happy forever.
My Mother is 89 years young and you remind me so much of her I cant wait to try this recipe GodBless you and Your family,youre my favorite you tube Star!!
I really enjoy watching you. I miss my grandma and I'd give anything to have her on a video to keep an go back to when I wanted to. I love collecting Christmas cookie recipes from around the world as well to make with my kids and now my grandchildren. They enjoy it as well.
You are EXACTLY like my Momma!!! I feel as if I'm watching my mother. My mother is from Ischia Italy!!.. and my momma sounds just like you!! I know all you songs too. I feel like I'm watching my momma. Recipes are mostly all the same.!! I love your channel.. GOD bless you and your family.
I was debating whether to watch this and then I saw the bottle of Strega. We come from Pietrelcina in italy. Benevento is our big city, and that's where they make Strega. Nectar of the gods!!
I love you Gina...Oh bambino noi divino...my nannie sang that all the time...I miss her so much....you warm my heart...I could watch you for hours....It feels like home...
How lucky your family is to have you! When you started singing I was SO moved. I just love you Miss Gina and I love watching your lessons. God Bless and keep you!
I enjoy your cooking videos VERY much. Thank you for putting love and care into everything you cook. And a BIG thank you to your son for filming/editing and everything else involved in producing these wonderful treasures! ~Michele

I loved hearing the story about you and your brother and sister eating the sugar. That was a “sweet” story. I love seeing the happiness it brings you when you talk about your mom
This Gramma is such a joy to watch. They had to do everything a certain way... Nothing like our Italian Grammas... Miss mine so much... She was such a piece of work, Gramma Rita.. 😢😂🥰
You are the first italian Grandma to do all that work. I learned how to do this when I was a young girl with my nonna and my aunt. After her passing I did it every year for 50 years. You brought back good memories. God bless you and Merry Christmas. Much love to you and your family.🎅🎅🎅
Nonna Gina reminds me of a local Italian grandmother who owns her own restaurant and catering company. Although her children and grandchildren run the business now, Nonna Maria still comes in to visit with customers and occasionally even helps out in the kitchen where she is still the fastest meatball roller in the family. Viva Nonna Gina!
I love this Nonna, she reminds me of my Nonna Maria Carmela, the way she talks, sings, her heart. God Bless Donna Petitti, she's pure of heart and a sweet woman. Grazie Signora Bella, il Signore ti Benedice..Buon Natale cara.
I love hearing Gina’s stories when she was a little girl in Italy 🇮🇹 Love ALL Gina’s memories and her SONGS too! If she remembers the songs names that would be wonderful!
Hi Gina, u are so special. U give so much of yourself so others can enjoy all ur teaching. God bless u an thank u for all u do. Your family is o blessed to have u .❤️❤️
Dear Gina, thank you for doing these videos. My great-grandparents came from Calabria and my nonna died in 1945, 21 years before I was born and nonno died when I was very little so I never knew them. My nana lived in New York, but we lived in Tennessee so I didn't get to see her very often. I never had the honor of having a grandmother teach me how to cook like generations before. My mother did as much as she could and her lasagna holds a special place in my heart. I love your video of the lasagna! I love hearing the stories about your family and hearing you sing. Thank you for doing what you do! God bless you and your family!~
You are a real treasure Nonna Gina! Thank you for sharing your family recipes. You prepare your food with such a loving heart. I love the homely way you cook. It reminds me of my mum. Thank you for sharing your family stories. They give life to the recipe!! May Our Heavenly Mother Mary bless you and Your family always. 💕
Love you so much! You are a wonderful person! God bless you you children, grandchildren and future generations! I love your prrsentations! You are a great teacher!
Merry Christmas Nonna Gina!! Watching your videos are worth endless smiles, love and likes!! I enjoy listening to your stories and watching you cook, as it reminds me of my Grandma. Great work everything looks pretty, festive and tasty!! Thank you and God bless you.
I Miss my Italian friend, Angie, no other one like her !! God put me in her life a few years then right next-door to her she said I was going to miss her when she’s gone sugar was right. She would tell me all the stories in Italy and the depression she went through so many stories love you Angie, you’re just like my mother.
Hi Gina! I just came back from Italy and was looking for recipes when I saw your videos. I have watched them all and love them. I just made the eggplant like you did. Even though I am a good cook, I can appreciate how you make them. God bless you Gina for your beautiful spirit and sharing yourself with everyone. You are an inspiration and joy to watch. You make me remember my mother and grandmother too! ❤️
My 3ed.video I've seen from this angel on earth!!!I make this but we call it Pinulata my Mom is from a small town near Varese,Italy (Ripacandida )my Daddy was from Sicily ...I could watch,listen to you all day everyday(the recipe card you looked at I have so many on the index cards from my grandma,mom,dad,aunts ...your voice is beautiful please know how much we love and appreciate all you do!!..aside from me,my family I haven't seen anyone on TH-cam cook,bake as good,authentic as you..I have a wood board like yours..I swear my daddy RIP and God brought your channel to me...I have that rollar cutter
Your content is some of the best on TH-cam right now. I hope you continue to inspire viewers to make their dreams a reality. Life isn't easy, its work. You have to work for the one you want. God bless you and your family
I am going to make all of these for Christmas. How wonderful that Nona Gina shows us how to cook all the old recipes. I don't have any trouble following her with an Italian word thrown into her English now and then. And I am learning Italian words while I learn cooking. God bless you, Gina.
Joy, patience, frugality, experience...what you teach us extends way beyond your recipes. Priceless!!! To you and each one involved with your videos thank you. Blessed and joy-filled holidays.
Sei bravissima Gina spieghi le ricette con tanta semplicita e' con tanta simpatia sono an'chio nonna ma non brava come te auguro di continiurare a darci altre ricette un abbraccio ♥️♥️
Gina you bring joyful tears to my eyes with your recipes, you remind me so much of my own mother who was also born in Foggia although a different area called San Marco in Lamis, I miss her terribly. All the very best.
I stumbled upon this. I don't know how I missed it!!!! My nonna made these although her region of Italy had different names. I have never seen a recipe close to hers before. The only difference is she used whiskey instead of Strega and I believe it had an extra egg yolk. Thank you for the memory 💞💞
Gina, adoro vederti in cucina. Sei una tale gioia da vedere. La tua famiglia è così fortunata da averti nelle loro vite. Dio ti benedica, cara signor. Oh, mi piace sentirti cantare.
My Nona made these cookies too and she also made one w/the same dough, that was stuffed, like a ravioli but bigger, w/a mixture of chocolate, figs & nuts, drizzled w/honey. I’ve got no idea how she made them bc they were stuffed but the dough was fried as well, it’s sad that no one ever learned how to make them, the recipe sadly went to the grave🥺 I think of my Nona always but especially at this time of year, she passed away on Christmas Day 1979, I was heart broken and still am bc I was robbed of having time w/her, my family moved to So. Jersey from So. Phila when I was 6, my nona remained in phila & I didn’t see her as often as I’d have liked to although when I was 12 I used to take the bus alone & visit her myself, I’d get in trouble for doing that but it was always worth the time we shared together. You’re such a wonderful soul, you remind me so much of my Nona and I thank you for sharing/teaching your recipes. Stay safe and blessed. Ti’amo♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Gina reminds me so much of my Mother-in-law from Milano, Italy. Love her singing, love her nature, and especially her cooking show! She is such a blessing to her family. Cooking together brings about great family stories.

I really enjoy watching you. I miss my grandma and I'd give anything to have her on a video to keep an go back to when I wanted to.
I love collecting Christmas cookie recipes from around the world as well to make with my kids and now my grandchildren. They enjoy it as well.
We love you Grandma and all of your wonderful recipe's. You are such a treasure. And you have a great voice too!
Love just watching you cook and learn from you. Thank you so much. Wish my grandma was still here. She lived till she wad 92. God bless you.
You are EXACTLY like my Momma!!! I feel as if I'm watching my mother.
My mother is from Ischia Italy!!.. and my momma sounds just like you!! I know all you songs too. I feel like I'm watching my momma.
Recipes are mostly all the same.!! I love your channel..
GOD bless you and your family.
I was debating whether to watch this and then I saw the bottle of Strega. We come from Pietrelcina in italy. Benevento is our big city, and that's where they make Strega. Nectar of the gods!!
I love you Gina...Oh bambino noi divino...my nannie sang that all the time...I miss her so much....you warm my heart...I could watch you for hours....It feels like home...
My grandma made mountains of these cookies at Christmas! She was from a small town in Calabria called Dipignano. ❤️
How lucky your family is to have you! When you started singing I was SO moved. I just love you Miss Gina and I love watching your lessons. God Bless and keep you!
I could sit in her kitchen and drink coffee eat her pastries and listen to her stories. God Bless Gina.
Me too. Boy, would I get fat quick!
Oh she is so precious!❤ You are so lucky to have a wonderful mother and grandmother as her! So hungry now...yum!!
Gina is one of a kind love her so much wishing her many blessings and health.

Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this Nona. Love your stories. Keep up the good work.
I loved hearing the story about you and your brother and sister eating the sugar. That was a “sweet” story. I love seeing the happiness it brings you when you talk about your mom
It’s so beautiful watching this wonderful humble Nona, God Bless her, thank You for inspiring all of us viewers. XOXOXO
This Gramma is such a joy to watch. They had to do everything a certain way... Nothing like our Italian Grammas... Miss mine so much... She was such a piece of work, Gramma Rita.. 😢😂🥰
Please post more videos!! as much as I love the food, Gina is just the cutest I can't get enough of these videos!
You are the first italian Grandma to do all that work. I learned how to do this when I was a young girl with my nonna and my aunt. After her passing I did it every year for 50 years. You brought back good memories. God bless you and Merry Christmas. Much love to you and your family.🎅🎅🎅
Nonna Gina reminds me of a local Italian grandmother who owns her own restaurant and catering company. Although her children and grandchildren run the business now, Nonna Maria still comes in to visit with customers and occasionally even helps out in the kitchen where she is still the fastest meatball roller in the family. Viva Nonna Gina!
I love this Nonna, she reminds me of my Nonna Maria Carmela, the way she talks, sings, her heart. God Bless Donna Petitti, she's pure of heart and a sweet woman. Grazie Signora Bella, il Signore ti Benedice..Buon Natale cara.
Wish i could live next to you, just to sit and watch you at work. God gave you great talent. God bless you and your family.
I love hearing Gina’s stories when she was a little girl in Italy 🇮🇹 Love ALL Gina’s memories and her SONGS too! If she remembers the songs names that would be wonderful!
Hi Gina, u are so special. U give so much of yourself so others can enjoy all ur teaching. God bless u an thank u for all u do. Your family is o blessed to have u .❤️❤️
Dear Gina, thank you for doing these videos. My great-grandparents came from Calabria and my nonna died in 1945, 21 years before I was born and nonno died when I was very little so I never knew them. My nana lived in New York, but we lived in Tennessee so I didn't get to see her very often. I never had the honor of having a grandmother teach me how to cook like generations before. My mother did as much as she could and her lasagna holds a special place in my heart. I love your video of the lasagna! I love hearing the stories about your family and hearing you sing. Thank you for doing what you do! God bless you and your family!~
I love when you sing while you are rolling the dough,Gina!! You are so sweet :-)
You are a real treasure Nonna Gina! Thank you for sharing your family recipes. You prepare your food with such a loving heart. I love the homely way you cook. It reminds me of my mum. Thank you for sharing your family stories. They give life to the recipe!! May Our Heavenly Mother Mary bless you and Your family always. 💕
Love your sweet family! They help you share your awesome old world recipes and cooking techniques and precious family memories!
Love you so much! You are a wonderful person! God bless you you children, grandchildren and future generations! I love your prrsentations! You are a great teacher!
Merry Christmas Nonna Gina!! Watching your videos are worth endless smiles, love and likes!! I enjoy listening to your stories and watching you cook, as it reminds me of my Grandma. Great work everything looks pretty, festive and tasty!! Thank you and God bless you.
I Miss my Italian friend, Angie, no other one like her !! God put me in her life a few years then right next-door to her she said I was going to miss her when she’s gone sugar was right. She would tell me all the stories in Italy and the depression she went through so many stories love you Angie, you’re just like my mother.
Hi Gina! I just came back from Italy and was looking for recipes when I saw your videos. I have watched them all and love them. I just made the eggplant like you did. Even though I am a good cook, I can appreciate how you make them. God bless you Gina for your beautiful spirit and sharing yourself with everyone. You are an inspiration and joy to watch. You make me remember my mother and grandmother too! ❤️

Wow. I wish I knew what she is saying. I love to watch her anyway. such energy, I wish I has a third of her energy, God Bless
I am going to make all of these for Christmas. How wonderful that Nona Gina shows us how to cook all the old recipes. I don't have any trouble following her with an Italian word thrown into her English now and then. And I am learning Italian words while I learn cooking. God bless you, Gina.
Love this lady!
You are so lucky to have Gina sharing her beautiful food and stories with you and your family! ...Thanks for sharing! ...God Bless!
♥️💕Adorable Grandma. I love you very much. You are a very blessed adorable grandma. Now I know how to make a good BISCOTTI.🌷🌿
Joy, patience, frugality, experience...what you teach us extends way beyond your recipes. Priceless!!! To you and each one involved with your videos thank you. Blessed and joy-filled holidays.
God bless you, Gina…Angel from cooking and baking heaven! Beautiful inside and out! Never stop singing…please! 💕🎄 Merry Christmas 2021!
You are so fortunate. I love watching Grandma 😊
Sei bravissima Gina spieghi le ricette con tanta semplicita e' con tanta simpatia sono an'chio nonna ma non brava come te auguro di continiurare a darci altre ricette un abbraccio ♥️♥️
Gina you bring joyful tears to my eyes with your recipes, you remind me so much of my own mother who was also born in Foggia although a different area called San Marco in Lamis, I miss her terribly. All the very best.
Wow that is a tremendous amount of work she goes to for the love of her family!
Grandma Gina is leaving a wonderful legacy for her family. They will be watching these videos and enjoying her recipes for many years❣
I stumbled upon this. I don't know how I missed it!!!! My nonna made these although her region of Italy had different names. I have never seen a recipe close to hers before. The only difference is she used whiskey instead of Strega and I believe it had an extra egg yolk. Thank you for the memory 💞💞
Gina, adoro vederti in cucina. Sei una tale gioia da vedere. La tua famiglia è così fortunata da averti nelle loro vite. Dio ti benedica, cara signor. Oh, mi piace sentirti cantare.
My Nona made these cookies too and she also made one w/the same dough, that was stuffed, like a ravioli but bigger, w/a mixture of chocolate, figs & nuts, drizzled w/honey. I’ve got no idea how she made them bc they were stuffed but the dough was fried as well, it’s sad that no one ever learned how to make them, the recipe sadly went to the grave🥺 I think of my Nona always but especially at this time of year, she passed away on Christmas Day 1979, I was heart broken and still am bc I was robbed of having time w/her, my family moved to So. Jersey from So. Phila when I was 6, my nona remained in phila & I didn’t see her as often as I’d have liked to although when I was 12 I used to take the bus alone & visit her myself, I’d get in trouble for doing that but it was always worth the time we shared together. You’re such a wonderful soul, you remind me so much of my Nona and I thank you for sharing/teaching your recipes. Stay safe and blessed. Ti’amo♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Gina reminds me so much of my Mother-in-law from Milano, Italy. Love her singing, love her nature, and especially her cooking show! She is such a blessing to her family. Cooking together brings about great family stories.
