I have suffered from severe depression and couldnt seem to find anything that inspired me to fell joyful or excited for any length of time,, even though I am a very successful business woman,,,,, BUT SINCE I HAVE FOUND THIS LOVELY ITALIAN GRANDMA,, COOKING AND CHATTING SO PERSONALLY WITH SUCH PASSION, LOVE AND PLAYFULNESS,,,, I AM HEALED WITHIN,,, BECAUSE HER SENSE OF LIGHT SPIRIT IS THE TRUE HEALING BALM THAT OUR DOWNTRODDEN WORLD SO DESPERATELY NEEDS! AMEN
I need someone like this to be my neighbor. She is so inspiring! I, too, suffer from depression even though I have a lot in my life to keep me busy; it's difficult to stay inspired. Gina, and other spirits like her, are a true blessing!!!
To Grandma Ginas family...you have a living treasure here. It is wonderful that you are documenting her talent and life this way. Kudos to you, and give her a hug and a kiss from all of us who can no longer hug and kiss our own grandmothers. Much love to you all!
Absolutely, I’ve been binge watching for 2 days lol. I normally get bored with long cooking videos , but watching her is like being in the kitchen with her... I’m hooked
Look at how she lights up when she talks about grandkids calling before coming over, "What do you wany to eat, I want to cook what you like!" Bless her, she is heaven sent!
I am from the south and married an Italian from NY who used to talk about his grandma’s “gravy”. I always thought gravy was brown and you put it on fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Now I know what he was talking about and I cook “Grandma’s Sunday Sauce/Gravy with Meatballs”. She is so sweet and I play the video in the kitchen when I make this and pretend we are cooking together.
I’m Italian and in our family we call it sauce. Gravy is for roasts and other meat. I do appreciate other people’s ways of doing things! Some people use water in their recipe of meatballs, others milk. Some use breadcrumbs . We, in my family soak bread in water and saturate it, then squeeze all of the liquid out (as much as you can!) of sliced bread. No breadcrumbs! 😊 by the way, I live in CT.
Irish woman in the south married Italian Scott and I hear about all the wonderful food! Especially Meatballs and Sauce ! Just like his Mother and family friends houses I got to do this Thank you Gina ❤
Who needs all these celebrity chefs when you can cook like this amazing lady! The real deal! Thank you for sharing your great cooking with us grandma! Grazie!
I was lucky enough to have my wonderful Italian Nonna, Mary. She came to the USA in 1918 from Calabria, Italy. She didn’t speak a word of English when she came here. Gina, you remind me so much of my Nonna. She too, was a wonderful cook. God Bless You, Gina!!
Nona Gina...you are awesome!! My name is Catania and my family is from Catania, Sicily! My father is not with us anymore but his values, traditions, and love still remain with us! Watching Nona makes me cry...she is precious!!! My papa always told me...honey you are going to miss me more than you think! OH was my papa right and watching this sweet Nona brings sweet memories! Cherish her NOW! God Bless You Nona Gina!!!!!!
My grandfather was from Parlermo Italy. I am going back to my grandmother's kitchen on Sundays watching this. I can remember exactly how it smelled! This Wonderful woman cooks just like my grandmother did. My heart is full❤ God bless her.❤❤❤❤❤
I truelly never comment on videos. But for Gina I have to. I'd love to thank her for passing down her knowledge to all of us. She truelly is an amazing women.
The Italian language, :) making the coolest, funniest and least awkward English accent of them all. It’s a treat to listen to this lady talk and explain what she is doing.
We don’t care how perfect you’re English is , I just love watching you cook and sharing your stories . I am blessed by your Videos you show what love is supposed to be like. God bless you Gina you are blessing so many people with your loving personality and your love for your family. You cooking is just a extra bonus.
On Sunday morning my mother and grandmother would go to early mass in order to come back home to make sunday salsa. My father would take me and my brothers to high mass at 11am. When we returned home my grandmother would greet us at the door with her fried meatbals on forks for me and my brothers. It's was always such a treat, not to mention the aroma that filled the house from all the cooking. I am so blessed to have had such a loving family growing up. My great grandmother lived with us and spoke little english, so we all spoke Italian at home. I remember when I was about four years old. My great grandmother who was 89 yrs old would sit me on her lap and ask me "quanto ti ami" and I would anwser " asi asi tanto con tutti il cuoro" She was so loving. We spoke in the napolitano dialect. Nerdless to say I grew up with a strong sense of my heritage and for that I am truly grateful. So Gina when I watch you make Sunday gravy I'm so happy. Gina, I can't tell enough how wonderful you are. When I read the comments from your fans, it's obvious the love to bring to everyone. God bless you always.
When I came home from school when I was a child, there was no food. Later in day, and in the evening, and at night, and in the morning, and......., there was still no food. And also, there was hardly enough water to drink.
@@vincentfiorillo6056 It wish what I wrote was not real. I wish I were just fooling around. Unfortunately everything I wrote was real. That is how my childhood was. It was just a summary.
Gina you remind me so much of my grandma who was from CompobassoFiorito Sicily, my grandpa was Abruzzi. Every Sunday the whole family would get together for Sunday Sauce. Including my cousins aunts and uncles and grandparents there were 23 of us. I think we ate in shifts, men first, kids then all the women. In any case no one was allowed in the kitchen unless you were from the immediate family or 100% italian.. We also always had fresh italian bread from the corner store and italian cookies for desert. After dinner the men played cards and drank then we went into the living room, my father played guitar and my grandpa and uncles would sing italian songs. I think the problem with our country today is the lack of tradition and culture and a home cooked meal with warmth and love. Thank you for your great recipes and videos. May God Bless you. Ciantani. Alfredo
Grandma Gina, I understand you perfectly!! You may laugh and that's ok, but I adopted you as my Grandma a good while back, because I didn't have a Grandma. Now I do ... you! Your family is greatly blessed to have you, Grandma.
I watched this video three times, then went to the store and bought everything and made her sauce! It came out wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this, now I can make my own sauce. I put two containers in the freezer and will have the rest of the sauce with dinner tomorrow night. Ciao bella Nonna!
I second that! Love to listen to her sing and love the joy that she has for cooking. Probably more than her joy for cooking is her joy for cooking for people. My great-grandmother wasn't Italian, but was Slovak. Just like Gina, she knew not only knew how to cook really good but the cherry on top was the the joy of service she had in cooking for both her family and people in general. If somebody came to visit, she would run to the kitchen to prepare food for them. On a regular basis, she would cook for all of the widows that lived near her and have them over or have somebody deliver the food to them. Hopefully we can get back to this kind of "old-world" mentality of cooking real food, instead of the fast-paced lives that most of us are living that is causing anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnect from people and the food we eat.
I am a chef in France, I worck in London for a long time, like I just say I am working in France, love to wach clasic Italian cuisine, old style cooking, loth of hugs frome Cannes France dear Gina
Gina is a lovely lady and I enjoy watching her cook. Watching Gina cook is better than watching the cooking channel on HGTV. Your family is blessed to have you. God bless you Gina and thank you.
What a wonderful woman, Anybody who has had a grandma like this knows just how loving and special they are and how they are missed when they are gone. I really miss going to my grandma's house and enjoying that wonderful food that she put so much love into fixing for us.
The recipes and tutorials are much MUCH better with Grandma’s beautiful Italian accent! I feel like I’m in the kitchen with my wonderful Mother-in-Law, who I miss fiercely! She taught me so much in the kitchen and in the heart! 💕❤️💕
So sad that these Grandma's are not going to be with us much longer. My Grandma was Polish, she handed down allot of Old country recipes. Many of our great chefs today that are on TV use recipes handed down from Grandma. 1000 thumbs up Thank you for sharing this with us
My grandparents spoke like this. Grandpa made the homemade pasta in his basement every Sunday, grandma made the meat and the sauce. God how I miss them. You have a new follower.
I used to work as a bartender at the Forrest theatre in Philadelphia, and all the ushers were Italian grandmothers from south philly. I would sit down in the lounge with these women, all wearing their black dresses with white laced collars, as they would talk about recipes, and cooking. I learned Italian cooking from them. They used to argue over who actually knew how to make things correctly, who was a better cook...it was wonderful. Watching your videos reminded me of them. Glad to know I learned from great true Italian grandmothers as you are showing here. Thank you for a great show.
I love the Italian Grandma reminds me of my Nonna and I was raised by first generation Italian parents what a wonderful life with the best Italian food ever and so I carried on all the traditions I even canned my own Italian sauce just like her just love Gina thanks for sharing her with all of us❤️
Hello Gina. I watched this video and then made it the exact way you demonstrated for dinner. My family RAVED about how good it was. Thank you so very much for teaching me.
Growing up in Western NY,our city had a strong population of Italians. Needless to say many friends.. Would go to their homes; my goodness, the aroma of garlic,herbs. sauces. Would always end up in the kitchen with the mom and grandmother. Grandma Gina is amazing 💗💗💗💗
I use to live in New York. My Grandpa built the house when it was dirt roads. Miss my Nonna our family lived upstairs and my grandparents lived down stairs. The smell of the food amazing. My mom and grandma taught me how to cook. No measurements I'm a good cook thanks to them. Such good memories l. Miss my parents too. Always smile when I think of all of them.
I can't tell you how thankful I am for this. People have told me how they make their sauce & I tell them "I have an Italian Grandma on TH-cam who teaches me how to cook." Love u guys! Thanks again!!
I haven't heard the sound of my Gramma Terese's beautiful voice since 1970...until now: Until I "met" Ms. Gina on TH-cam. Listening to her speak, her lovely singing, and the decades melt away and I'm back in Gramma's kitchen. She, too, had her own way of doing things and nothing would change her mind. Tongs? No way. Two forks are the only way to do it. And forget the closet full of giant percolator coffee pots she was given as gifts. It was the small aluminum pot or nothing :) These videos always take me back to that happy time in my childhood and for that I am beyond grateful. Priceless! Now off to buy the book! Thank you and God bless.
As long as it's not her daughter, you know she is behind the camera because she always barking at ol girl on how it should be cooked 😳 can you believe it😒👎I know Italians talk like they are always arguing, grew up with them, partner is Sicilian. Na the daughter is a bit of a bully in my opinion. The boys are great with her. Watch enough and you will know when she filming. Love you Nonna sorry your daughter not very patient or respectful to you.
What a treasure this is... so many comments from Italians who miss their grandparents and their recipes. As a non Italian and someone who didn’t have chefs or recipes to learn from in their family, this is such a blessing, especially in this difficult time. My family will have this home cooked meal tonight because of beautiful Grandma Gina, and the selfless family members that decided to film, narrate, assist and share their blessing with us all. Love to you all❤️ Wish me luck!
Success! The sauce and meatballs were AMAZING and everyone in the family (and neighbors we shared with) RAVED about how delicious and perfect everything was😋🥰 So happy and grateful! We are making this our Sunday meal every week now. Thank you Grandma Gina & family!🙏🏻☺️
She reminds me of my nona so much, shes sick now and is in a nursing home, i love your videos. Its on my generation to keep these recipes alive. I grew up every sundays round my nonas❤
To all the people commenting: If you can't say something nice...Don't comment...this woman (Gina) is doing things HER WAY...She isn't telling you to do it her way...EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS...I wish my Italian grandma was still alive...Gina is a gift to us...she cooks with old traditional style...I appreciate her...I love everything about her...God bless you Gina...❤️❤️❤️
Is it just me, or does Gina warm your heart right to the core. I think I gained 10 pounds just watching this. Reminds me of my youth when my grandma would cook just like this --- when I close my eyes, I can actually smell this.
My great grandmother came to America from Italy and settled in Brooklyn NY. Watching you brings a smile to my face as all my memories come rushing back. Thank you for sharing your cooking with us. I look forward to watching your videos.
Gina, you are a delight to listen to and watch. I have watched 3 of your videos tonight because you inspire me in many ways. Don't change a thing that you do because you are perfect in every way and bring so much joy to your audience. Thank you for inviting us into your amazing kitchen and sharing part of yourself with all of us. You are the Grandma I wish I could have. Please know that you are LOVED!
My grandma made the same Sunday dinner, exactly the same. As I'm watching this video, I could smell it and almost taste it. I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching this Nonna making Sunday sauce! I'm Italian and I make it too, almost every Sunday, after church. My husband and family are addicted to it! I also love hearing you sing. Brings back so many good memories. God Bless you Gina and family who help her make these wonderful videos.
GINA, I’m a grandmother myself and I love watching ALL your videos. I was brought up in Argentina as a little girl and in my neighborhood in Buenos Aires, I had and “adoptive” Nona e Nono!!! Your pizza and everything that you make brings back very good memories from my childhood... God bless you! You’re a beautiful lady inside and out! (Wish we could be neighbors!). Greetings from BOCA Raton, Florida😊💕👍🏼
Good day Gina. I am making your salsa and meatballs so I can make Lasagna! I have to buy my lasagna pasta since I do not have the noodle press/roller. I grow my own herbs but have to also buy tomatoes. I am so excited to have found your site! I wish I could have just one bite of everything I have watched you prepare. I do hope your family appreciate how fortunate they are to have you near. Never apologize for your speaking! Never I understand every word and thank you for your instruction.
Nona Gina don't worry about your english, your joy of cooking and love of your family comes through loud and clear and your recipes are treasures. Thank you for sharing with us I hope to try to make each and every recipe. Made your braciole and fried zucchini today and it was perfect.
158 people don't like. C'mon are you serious? You may disagree with the recipe, but how you can not appreciate the warmth and true love of this family recipe. The more I study cuisines, the more I am impressed by the connection of food, memories, and tradition. It's more about Love than the best recipe.
Bless you Gina! I'm so happy I found your channel. My grandmother raised me and I loved her so much. I loved to be in the kitchen with her when she was cooking and telling stories. I am so excited to try your delicious recipes. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You maybe think it's not anything very significant, but your recipes can now be passed down by so many people to their kids and grand kids for many many years in the future.
I understand her just fine. I love her so much. I close my eyes & I hear my great grandmother. She snuck over on a ship from Italy many years ago. She's been gone for a long while now & I miss her dearly. This beautiful lady makes my day & I can get the recipes I wasn't smart enough to write down. All my love. xoxoxoxoxo
America loves Gena’s English...great part of videos!!!!! 💐also the best pasta sauce and meat!!! Can you believe her family gets to eat this with home made pasta yet!!!! Love you Gina!!
Great recipes Gina. Your english is perfect to me. I grew up in an italian family. You remind me of better times when we used to spend time cooking, laughing and eating. Lots of Love to you and your Family
Amazing woman and son in tune with a lost art. Cooking with love and tradition. I am so happy I came across this video. Planning on making her Lasagna recipe for my moms birthday dinner on 2/16/20. She will be 79.
@@BuonAPetitti Update: Gina my dinner turned out fabulous! I introduced my family to your channel and your stuffed mushrooms, a version of your lasagna (I splurged on super thin, no cook noodles) and homemade Caesar salad dressing. You are a treasure! I thank you for the guidance and inspiration. Love and blessings to you and your family.
That is IT! That is the gravy I grew up with and how I make to today. Ciao bella Nonna! Thank you for this. The kids today, they dont understand how to work or appreciate working hard and cooking from scratch, taking the time. You are blessed! Muah! Wow. So happy I found you.
I am so thankful to have found your videos. You really remind me so much of my mother and my grandmother. Your gravy is exactly our recipe to the T, homemade sauce and all. Watching you cook all your recipes brought tears to my eyes as it was like watching my mom cook for us again. My mom passed away 5 years ago and my dad passed away almost 10 years ago. Your videos really touched me so much and brought back so many wonderful memories, thank you. My parents came to America from Italy in the late 60's and they taught us all their traditions such as: canning & preserving everything. We would make homemade tagliatelle, lasagna and ravioli. Everything came fresh from the garden. We had such a huge garden growing up. My dad would also make his homemade vino, soppressata and capocollo every year at the exact time. We all had to help out, especially when it came time to the week long project of canning 500 mason jars of tomatoe puree. I'm very thankful to have been taught these traditions along with knowing how to speak the language. It's very important to pass these wonderful traditions down. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to watching you cook up some more delicious and traditional recipes. Ciao ciao.
Gina you're wonderful... I could sit and watch you cook all day, and listen to your stories... You have a beautiful kitchen too. Thank you for your delicious recipes.. Great job
I just recently (today) discovered her videos and they are an absolute treasure. Everything she makes looks amazing delicious and just wish I could taste them. Live long Grandma Gina and know that there are people that adore her ways, skill and wonderful personality!
Do not worry about your English it is excellent I love watching your videos you teaching me a lot you are awesome Nona Gina god bless you and all your family ❤️🌼💕🌺🌹💐🙏🦋💕💕💕💕
Grandma thank you for sharing your recipe your love to the world. Thank you for everything ❤️ you are as authentic as the come. I love you 😘 I asked God to watch over you and bless you with good health 🙏❣️. Love from Texas. I only wish we had more like you With a restaurant opening up with authentic food. You are as real as they come. I love watching your videos.
And buy the way this is my third video with mamma Gina real authentic, old stile cooking, loved it. Some people on TH-cam have no idea what they do and how to cook. Grandma Gina brilliantly sample show to us what is real Italian cooking are. Thank you for placing videos like that.
Gina, you are so precious. I do not know anything about Italian cooking. I thought I did but sadly I do not. I am learning though. Thank you for that!! You are an amazing cook!! God Bless you and your family!! 😇❤️🤗

AMEN!
My grandma was very, very much like Gina, only she was from Romania .
Truth.
🙏 Amen..My own Grandmother is gone but I claim Grandma Gina as mine..
Someone needs to give her own cooking show....not just youtube. She's wonderful
She's adorable! I'd eat anything she made. Gina is an Italian Grandma to be proud of.
Look at how she lights up when she talks about grandkids calling before coming over, "What do you wany to eat, I want to cook what you like!" Bless her, she is heaven sent!

The definition of gravy is any sauce that is flavored with meat. Color has no bearing.

Growing up in Western NY,our city had a strong population of Italians. Needless to say many friends.. Would go to their homes; my goodness, the aroma of garlic,herbs. sauces. Would always end up in the kitchen with the mom and grandmother.
Grandma Gina is amazing 💗💗💗💗
I use to live in New York. My Grandpa built the house when it was dirt roads. Miss my Nonna our family lived upstairs and my grandparents lived down stairs. The smell of the food amazing. My mom and grandma taught me how to cook. No measurements I'm a good cook thanks to them. Such good memories l. Miss my parents too. Always smile when I think of all of them.
You speak English beautifully,Gina! My whole family loves your accent🤗❤️
Me too
I believe speaking Italian while Grandma Gina cooks is a good thing. Plus I get to learn a new language. So, thank you.
I can't tell you how thankful I am for this. People have told me how they make their sauce & I tell them "I have an Italian Grandma on TH-cam who teaches me how to cook." Love u guys! Thanks again!!
I haven't heard the sound of my Gramma Terese's beautiful voice since 1970...until now: Until I "met" Ms. Gina on TH-cam. Listening to her speak, her lovely singing, and the decades melt away and I'm back in Gramma's kitchen. She, too, had her own way of doing things and nothing would change her mind. Tongs? No way. Two forks are the only way to do it. And forget the closet full of giant percolator coffee pots she was given as gifts. It was the small aluminum pot or nothing :) These videos always take me back to that happy time in my childhood and for that I am beyond grateful. Priceless! Now off to buy the book! Thank you and God bless.
WHO EVER IT IS HELPING HER RECORD THIS, GOD BLESS YOU FOR HELPING TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF HER LIFE'S COOKING.
As long as it's not her daughter, you know she is behind the camera because she always barking at ol girl on how it should be cooked 😳 can you believe it😒👎I know Italians talk like they are always arguing, grew up with them, partner is Sicilian. Na the daughter is a bit of a bully in my opinion. The boys are great with her. Watch enough and you will know when she filming. Love you Nonna sorry your daughter not very patient or respectful to you.
What a treasure this is... so many comments from Italians who miss their grandparents and their recipes. As a non Italian and someone who didn’t have chefs or recipes to learn from in their family, this is such a blessing, especially in this difficult time. My family will have this home cooked meal tonight because of beautiful Grandma Gina, and the selfless family members that decided to film, narrate, assist and share their blessing with us all. Love to you all❤️ Wish me luck!
Success! The sauce and meatballs were AMAZING and everyone in the family (and neighbors we shared with) RAVED about how delicious and perfect everything was😋🥰 So happy and grateful! We are making this our Sunday meal every week now. Thank you Grandma Gina & family!🙏🏻☺️
This is more precious than gold. Nona....there is nothing better than watching you share your traditions with us.
She reminds me of my nona so much, shes sick now and is in a nursing home, i love your videos. Its on my generation to keep these recipes alive. I grew up every sundays round my nonas❤
I will keep your grandmother in my prayers. God Bless.
To all the people commenting: If you can't say something nice...Don't comment...this woman (Gina) is doing things HER WAY...She isn't telling you to do it her way...EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS...I wish my Italian grandma was still alive...Gina is a gift to us...she cooks with old traditional style...I appreciate her...I love everything about her...God bless you Gina...❤️❤️❤️
Gloria Burns Amen!!!
Just great.Finally someone post a video with a clean/organized kitchen. I thought I was the only one that is not lazy. A clean house is everything.
America Loves this Woman! Xoxo........... I'm going to make all her dishes. This winter time. Xoxo
Is it just me, or does Gina warm your heart right to the core. I think I gained 10 pounds just watching this.
Reminds me of my youth when my grandma would cook just like this --- when I close my eyes, I can actually smell this.
thank you for telling Gina's story. I am sure she is surrounded by her loving family. I wish Gina a very healthy and long life. She is an angel.
Hi Gina. I'm English Canadian and I understand you just fine!! You are an inspiration!
Gina, I understand you perfectly! You sound like my Nona. Sometimes I cry listening and watching.
Thank you for watching. God Bless!
When Gina speaks, the whole world's listening~ ❤
Little old ladies that cook awesome food with love. Even puppies struggle to beat that :)
Great vid ….. love the way she cooks. I'm a professional chef and this Italian grandma is the real deal …. it doesn't get any better than this.
That's not cooking, that's pure love
Italian grandmothers are the best.
Isn’t this right Alex? Did you get the gift card yet? Love you, Grandma
Your son in law is a very good photographer, thank you son in law, enjoy so much.
So sweet. Reminds me of my grandma and mom who are both gone now . Thanks for making food that touches your soul
My great grandmother came to America from Italy and settled in Brooklyn NY. Watching you brings a smile to my face as all my memories come rushing back. Thank you for sharing your cooking with us. I look forward to watching your videos.
Grandma (Nona Gina) you speak english very well, don't worry about the accent, it's what makes you so wonderful. God bless and thank you! xxx
Gina, you are a delight to listen to and watch. I have watched 3 of your videos tonight because you inspire me in many ways. Don't change a thing that you do because you are perfect in every way and bring so much joy to your audience. Thank you for inviting us into your amazing kitchen and sharing part of yourself with all of us. You are the Grandma I wish I could have. Please know that you are LOVED!
I can’t say it enough how can anyone not love this lady, I’ve watched all her videos, what a sweet lady.
Aw! i love her!!!!!I could watch her cook all day! tell her I said she is very pleasant to watch.
Don't apologize for your English, or for anything! Your cooking is superb and you are perfect!!
My grandma made the same Sunday dinner, exactly the same. As I'm watching this video, I could smell it and almost taste it. I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching this Nonna making Sunday sauce! I'm Italian and I make it too, almost every Sunday, after church. My husband and family are addicted to it! I also love hearing you sing. Brings back so many good memories. God Bless you Gina and family who help her make these wonderful videos.
GINA, I’m a grandmother myself and I love watching ALL your videos. I was brought up in Argentina as a little girl and in my neighborhood in Buenos Aires, I had and “adoptive” Nona e Nono!!! Your pizza and everything that you make brings back very good memories from my childhood... God bless you! You’re a beautiful lady inside and out! (Wish we could be neighbors!). Greetings from BOCA Raton, Florida😊💕👍🏼
I'm so happy to see this beautiful lady has over a million subscribers!
Good day Gina. I am making your salsa and meatballs so I can make Lasagna! I have to buy my lasagna pasta since I do not have the noodle press/roller. I grow my own herbs but have to also buy tomatoes. I am so excited to have found your site! I wish I could have just one bite of everything I have watched you prepare. I do hope your family appreciate how fortunate they are to have you near. Never apologize for your speaking! Never I understand every word and thank you for your instruction.
Nona Gina don't worry about your english, your joy of cooking and love of your family comes through loud and clear and your recipes are treasures. Thank you for sharing with us I hope to try to make each and every recipe. Made your braciole and fried zucchini today and it was perfect.
158 people don't like. C'mon are you serious? You may disagree with the recipe, but how you can not appreciate the warmth and true love of this family recipe. The more I study cuisines, the more I am impressed by the connection of food, memories, and tradition. It's more about Love than the best recipe.
Exciter 250 was a time
There is a massive troll that has been hanging around being a bully to this sweet woman and her family just to spew hate.
Some people like. Some people no like
158 people have broken tastebuds and dysfunctional heart.
@@anitaboddie1073 that's a broken person. Who would troll this sweetheart?
I've ate many of her recipes. She is the best Italian cook on TH-cam. Better then Pro Chefs.
Just love this lady. How lucky her grandchildren are! Learning and enjoying her cooking and her passion for life !
Bless you Gina! I'm so happy I found your channel. My grandmother raised me and I loved her so much. I loved to be in the kitchen with her when she was cooking and telling stories. I am so excited to try your delicious recipes. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You maybe think it's not anything very significant, but your recipes can now be passed down by so many people to their kids and grand kids for many many years in the future.
I understand her just fine. I love her so much. I close my eyes & I hear my great grandmother. She snuck over on a ship from Italy many years ago. She's been gone for a long while now & I miss her dearly. This beautiful lady makes my day & I can get the recipes I wasn't smart enough to write down. All my love. xoxoxoxoxo
Watching this makes me miss my grandmas. You are so blessed to have her in your life. She's a treasure.
I agree ! Maybe she'll "adopt" us . LOL !
America loves Gena’s English...great part of videos!!!!! 💐also the best pasta sauce and meat!!! Can you believe her family gets to eat this with home made pasta yet!!!! Love you Gina!!
I've never wanted to be adopted more or by someone than I do right now! She reminds me of my Mexican grandma making flour tortillas. Beautiful lady. ❤
Great recipes Gina. Your english is perfect to me. I grew up in an italian family. You remind me of better times when we used to spend time cooking, laughing and eating. Lots of Love to you and your Family
Your English is charming, you remind me of my beloved french grandmother, I feel love when I watch you, thank you Gina xxx
Amazing woman and son in tune with a lost art. Cooking with love and tradition. I am so happy I came across this video. Planning on making her Lasagna recipe for my moms birthday dinner on 2/16/20. She will be 79.
Happy Birthday to your mom, I hope she enjoys the lasagna.
My daughter will be 54 on the same day. God bless.
@@BuonAPetitti Update: Gina my dinner turned out fabulous! I introduced my family to your channel and your stuffed mushrooms, a version of your lasagna (I splurged on super thin, no cook noodles) and homemade Caesar salad dressing. You are a treasure! I thank you for the guidance and inspiration. Love and blessings to you and your family.
Dee, You're beautiful !
That is IT! That is the gravy I grew up with and how I make to today. Ciao bella Nonna! Thank you for this. The kids today, they dont understand how to work or appreciate working hard and cooking from scratch, taking the time. You are blessed! Muah! Wow. So happy I found you.
Grandma, I love it when you sing after cooking!❤
I am so thankful to have found your videos. You really remind me so much of my mother and my grandmother. Your gravy is exactly our recipe to the T, homemade sauce and all. Watching you cook all your recipes brought tears to my eyes as it was like watching my mom cook for us again. My mom passed away 5 years ago and my dad passed away almost 10 years ago. Your videos really touched me so much and brought back so many wonderful memories, thank you.
My parents came to America from Italy in the late 60's and they taught us all their traditions such as: canning & preserving everything. We would make homemade tagliatelle, lasagna and ravioli. Everything came fresh from the garden. We had such a huge garden growing up. My dad would also make his homemade vino, soppressata and capocollo every year at the exact time. We all had to help out, especially when it came time to the week long project of canning 500 mason jars of tomatoe puree. I'm very thankful to have been taught these traditions along with knowing how to speak the language. It's very important to pass these wonderful traditions down. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to watching you cook up some more delicious and traditional recipes. Ciao ciao.
Gina you're wonderful... I could sit and watch you cook all day, and listen to your stories... You have a beautiful kitchen too. Thank you for your delicious recipes.. Great job
I just recently (today) discovered her videos and they are an absolute treasure. Everything she makes looks amazing delicious and just wish I could taste them. Live long Grandma Gina and know that there are people that adore her ways, skill and wonderful personality!
