    I “stumbled” upon Grandma Gina’s cooking episode (this one: "Italian Grandma Makes Bolognese Sauce") totally by accident. OMG, I am TOTALLY hooked!!! This lady is totally addictive! One just cannot help but smile when you see and hear this ray of sunshine... Her demeanor is totally contagious. Gina is a beam of light, joy, and sincerity during these bleak times. I immediately ordered and recently received her "Cooking With Grandma Gina" opus and will definitely try her recipes.
    May God bless you and your crew, Grandma Gina, and give us many, MANY more episodes of your talent and sheer joy of life.
    Gina, could I adopt you as MY grandma, please? 😁

    I had to stop as soon as I saw your memories at the back of your cookbook. It made me tear up with happiness because you were so thoughtful to bring your memories into what you love. It is so wonderful that you created a cookbook to share with your family and with all of your fans! It makes it so much more special that you captured your memories in the back of the book to make sure that your family never forgets and can always find you with them in their hearts while they are cooking too.

    • @markantony3875
      @markantony3875 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Vendzor Well first there are many Italian-American dishes that do not exist in Italy. Such as: Spaghetti with Meatballs (They are served as separate courses and Italians think it is disgusting to serve them together), Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Parmigiana, Garlic Bread, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, and Pepperoni Pizza. Actually, it is impossible to serve pepperoni pizza in Italy, since pepperoni doesn't exist there either. That is just to name a few.
      Second, way to much garlic used in Italian-American dishes. Italians do not use that much garlic at all. Many Italian pasta sauces actually have no garlic added. The vegetable base (Soffritto) is just onions, carrots and celery.
      Third is the quality of the ingredients. "Organic" food does not exist in Italy. Because of their strict food laws, everyday Italian food is way beyond USDA Organic. If you want the best tasting food, you need the best tasting ingredients.
      Forth, the type and ratio of ingredients is just different in real Italian recipes. Also, Italian meals are serve as distinct courses. Italian-American food is often just everything mashed together.
      Fifth, many of the so called "Italian" food establishments in the U.S., especially the larger chain ones just serve really bad food. Poor menus, poor cooking, and cheap ingredients.
      You are far better off learning to cook Italian yourself, using actual recipes from Italy, and using the best ingredients available (which might mean using ingredients imported from Italy)
      Finally, don't even get me started what passes as Italian Pizza in the U.S. 99% of it is totally disgusting.

      @@teamcompurepo2251 It's my understanding, that Bolognese only uses concentrated tomato or tomato paste with a stock, when you use tomato sauce then it becomes a Ragu. If you remember Gina at the beginning says "This is how "I" make it". I watched another video where someone in Italy made it with just the tomato paste and chicken stock . Watched another one where it was also made with just tomato paste and stock. This would appear to make it a meat sauce rather than a tomato sauce. Either way, there are no rules but I've been trying to figure out the difference between a Ragu and a Bolognese and this seems to the differentiating factor.

      I just discovered her a couple of weeks ago and just love her. She infuses love with every dish she makes, and for me that is the secret ingredient. The love blesses the food and all who eat it are nourished physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
      A couple of months ago I tried to bake a vegan cake and failed miserably. After watching Grandma Gina I decided to try the focaccia and it came out delicious!!! I ordered some backing supplies so I can do more things like her pizza and other recipes. I make them vegetarian. For the stuffed peppers I will substitute portabella mushrooms since they have a meaty texture. I am a not big fan of the Impossible burger or Beyond Meat because they are so highly processed. Maybe when I am craving that flavor and texture I'll give in.
      Grandma Gina is a light in a world filled with such sadness, anger, and chaos. I am so blessed to have come across her channel and am grateful for her and her family. God bless them all.
