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!
Can you do a video of your garden? I'd love to see all the cool stuff you've grown! Anyone else?
Yes me too
A
Yes me to Gina!
Grazie!! Perfection in a pot!! My Italian relatives all lived to late 80's-90's & this is why!!
Everything fresh & NOTHING out of a box!! Americans like easy stuff out of a box filled with chemicals. Eat food as close to it's natural state.
Why there are dislikes.? This food is made with full of love.
I've made this 3 times in 2 weeks. My family and I LOVE this soup/stew. The first time I made it we couldn't stop eating it. I finally put it away so we could have it again the next day, and we did. There are only 4 of us, but we finish a big pot of this in 2 days. Then we have your awesome Sponge cake for dessert with a cup of coffee and we all feel happy. The only problem is we are now addicted to this and I can't make it often enough. So easy, so good, so healthy and being vegetarians we appreciate the use of so many easy to find vegetables. Thank you so much. With love 💗🌼
I"m so happy to hear you enjoyed it . Sometimes I add eggplant or carrots to the stew. My favorite is the zucchini. Thank you for watching
After a long day or just to get away from the depressing news, I love to watch Nonna Gina. I find it so relaxing. Viva Nonna Gina!
I adore her 😍 I can wach her for hours. God bless her and her beautiful soul and let her a endless time stay with us.
If I could reach through the screen I would squeeze your cheeks and kiss you, that's how precious you are! Going to make this as soon as the weather cools down, it's 98 and I'm melting!! Love you Gina, keep the videos coming! God bless.
We love you! Such a wonderful lady! Love your recipes, your enthusiasm, your love of family! God bless you!!
My mum passed away 3 years ago whenever I want to feel close to her I watch this. She's very much like this ❤️
Grandma Gina, just reading all the comments, it shows how you bring out the “best”in people. Thank you! Please keep making videos. It makes me happy!💕😊
Grazie mille gentile signora Gina. I assumed you were 65, and I was now very surprised that you age is already over 80 - you look so much younger than you really are! I assume this is because of your good cooking skills and the amazing italian kitchen I always (as a Croatian) used to love. Wow, grazie signora Gina, I just decided to try all of your dishes and I think I will choose your cooking style to be my way of cooking for the rest of my life! (And hopefully for a future family of mine). I already have tried one of your meals, the zuchhetti meal - and with the fresh basil and parsley it was sooo delicious! I plan to have a garden as well, now I have a little idea what I could plant, God bless you and your family! Anna Noa from Switzerland
I love your videos Gina :) you should make Alfredo sometime ! :)
Hello I'm italian from Abruzzo. Your grandma is lovely and her recipes are pretty the same my grandma did and now my father does. Please say to your grandma Gina that her dialect, recipes and way of life are pretty closed to my relatives ones...There also are some people named Petite in my mother's town (Casoli in Abruzzo region). A very big hug to her. Gina sei una forza!Insegna agli americani a mangiare roba buona!Hai ragione per mangiare bene bisogna saper cucinare (e prima procurarsi vegetali e cibo genuino) altro che porcherie pronte! :)
Che buono nonna Gina! Si sente il profumo fin qui! Saluti dal Molise, Italia
I just discovered Grandma Gina... she reminds me of my Yiayia from Greece who spoke broken English, but we all understood. Greek cooking is very similar to Italian cooking. I am using all of your recipes, especially since I too have a vegetable garden. Treasure your Grandma, your grandchildren are very lucky to have her living with you. I Love Gina.
My sweetheart and I love learning new recipes from you. Your voice always makes her feel better and she's able to relax during this stressful time. Thank you for that! God bless!
Love this, my sisters and I ate this growing up, her recipe is slightly different from Mia Mamma, she put melanzana (aubergine eggplant) in hers also near the end she would add a egg to poach, served with cheese sprinkled on top with fresh crusty bread yummy, sometimes as a treat she would add chicken or rabbit
Yay!! New video!! Thank you Gina and family! Looks delicious! Would love to see a video of how you garden your vegetables too!!
Looks delicious! I swear I could smell the onions and garlic browning in the oil!
A heavenly smell!
Ms. Gina, you're an excellent cook! Yum!
Gina, I love cooking along with you! You are such a joy to watch! I found your channel only a week ago and I'm hooked. This morning I made Ciambotta along with you...it smells so good simmering on the stove and I can't wait to eat it. Last week I made your Cabbage Soup...my husband loved it, too. Thank you for all your videos, they bring back so many good memories of my childhood and so many good recipes!
i have to put a bucket under my mouth every time I watch these videos! I'm so hungry now!
Does she realize how adorable she is????❤️😩
She’s so cute!! She tried to use less oil, then she shook her head and said, you need half a cup, half a cup of oil!
Just like my mom and grandmother made years ago. Thank you so much for this great reminder of a such a great culture that should never be forgotten.
Love you!❤️🙌🏼 best channel in the whole world !
I made it, Gina. Oh it's good. I wish I knew how to post a picture. It's so good, Gina. Thank you for sharing your recipe for Ciambotta. Delicious. God bless. 🙏💕🇮🇹
One of my favorite videos yet, you are a treasure. Wish you would sing more. Love your old songs from Italy. I love you
I make mine the same way. Pick the vegetables from the garden then prep them and create a beautiful dish of veggies with awesome flavor. I never knew what this was called, but an Italian Grandma taught me how to make it. Thank you, Gina, you bring light into my home every time I watch you cook!
Every time I watch you, Miss Gina, you bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. I am going to make this soon😊. After watching you I finally made Lasagna for the first time, I'm 57 and had never made it. It came out really good, I made it for my daughter's bday. I just enjoy watching you and listening to you. God Bless you now and always, Love Ya😘
I was raised in a Italian neighborhood in New Jersey, after school all my friends ( Italian of course) would go to one of their homes,each having an Italian grand parents, and sample the evening meal that was being prepared. This video brings back such great memories!, oh yes! We would sample some of the dandelion wine made by the grandfather while watching fresh pasta being made. What Great Memories.
WAYNE HARRISON my favorite memory in the streets of New York is walking home from school and you could pass every house in the neighborhood. And tell what they were having for dinner! That’s when everyone used to open their windows and the fragrance would float out the windows and hit your nose and belly! Man this one lady would make spareribs and sauerkraut and cook it like 2 hours in the oven and the smell was mesmerizing! Or stuffed green peppers 🌶....mama Mia! That’s when everybody cooked EVERY night and dinner was ready when you arrived home from school! EVERY nite!!! I used to ask the lady’s for their recipe ... and I was only like 15 yo! Now retired but still remember how MRS. so and so said she made it. ! Wish I lived near Gina !
I Love This Little Italiano Grandma She is Amazing JESUS LOVES YOU
Gina Thank you so much. You have brought such joy to my life. My Nona was from Compo-basso and cooked so much like you. I cooked with her when I was very young, she was gone before I married. I so wished I could have her recipes and the instruction on how to make things. For 30+ years I looked and tried. Now I found you and I have them. The chambotta, lindig (lentil soup) bracciole everything is here. I can't thank you enough. You have made this longing to do things as she did come true.
I'm watching Gina again ,I tell my girl friend, who's been impressed with my pampering of her through wisdom passed on to me ,she's made a hero outta me. I also make better decisions on eating healthy I've not seen a pound of butter added to her dishes ,this is what I love about Ginas health approve recipes , get this, I've lost weight following her and eating flavorfull ,resourceful budget wise recipes . Is this Mediterranean diet . I think so ,I never felt better following her 🌟she's a shining star 🍷to Gina.
Good to see you again! I think I’ll pick up some fresh veggies tomorrow to make a veggie stew for my vegetarian son. This looks yummy! Thank you for sharing!
I love what you said! "If you wanna eat good stuff, you gotta cook!'
Gina, your vegetable soup looks so delicious and so healthy! How wonderful that you grow some of your own vegetables and then cook them in such delicious dishes! I hope that you had a restful week at the beach. When you get old like ME, you can't hang outside in the sun anymore. It just drains the energy out of me head to foot! Stay inside and stay cool these next couple of hot months. I am looking forward to fall. You will have to introduce us to the autumn food people fix in Italy when that time comes. Thanks again, sweet Gina. We appreciate all that you do to share your wonderful food with us
I grew up eating this delicious stew and now make it every summer. Thanks for bring healthy Italian food to a new generation!
Gina, being with you while you cook is like being with my family 55 years ago. I remember well my Italian Grandmother Tessie cooking and speaking as you do. I believe in loving people through cooking good food. From getting to know you here, you love abundantly ❤💗💞
LMBO hhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa I knew she couldn't resist that whole jar of tomatoes
My Mother passed a few years ago, and this channel has all the dishes she and my Nonna cooked! Love it! ❤ Greetings from 🇨🇦
Best times of my life with Gramma and Mama in the kitchen 💕💕💕
I was sad Mother’s Day, missing my Angel sweet beautiful Mother, in Heaven!😢so I looked on you tube and there you were, mama Gina! Made me feel so much better, like I was watching my mama cook! Love you so much God bless You and my Mom, Forever, keep us all safe. I have been cooking and baking again, when I need to make something I just go to your Tubie, and you tell show me what to do just like my mom did! Big Hugs, We are Born here but Sicilian Italian descent! Love Ginger (GIGI) from

I can watch her all day ,stop to give my eyes a break cook a dish I learned by her and be happy , a good shirt slogan with Gina ,priceless. . Hint.👍
Oh Nonna Gina! I wish I was your neighbor. I would love to cook with you as your sous chef. I love your videos. XO
Thanks so much ! I am Italian on both sides, but being the youngest of 9 siblings I never knew my grandmother but heard stories of what a great cook she was! I get great joy watching you and have already tried your eggplant receipe, it was great ! Thanks again! God Bless...
Oh my stars and garters Grandma gardens,too. Can we see it some time?
I was planning to show you my garden this summer. Every time my son in law came over to tape me it would rain. It has been a very wet summer here, my garden was not happy. I will try to show you the garden next summer.
Hi Gina! Its so great to see you again❤ I love ciambotta! My mom use to make it especially when her garden was filled with lots of fresh veggies! She would serve it with pasta and a salad.....DELIZIOSO!!! Thank you sharing this wonderful dish!
It is so cute how you do everything with 2 spoons because that is the only way to mix pasta! Love you grandma! ❤️❤️❤️
Grandma is back. Thanks for the delicious recipe. I will make this as soon as the weather gets a bit cooler.
Yummy😋
I love watching her cook!
I can't wait until you make the fresh tomato (gravy ) in September or October? I know she said in one of her videos..when she was adding the tomatoes I was like Oh Nonna put all that goodness in the pot 😋🇮🇹😋🇮🇹
This looks delicious! I love seeing your pictures of you out doing fun things! I was worried about you since you haven’t posted anything recently, glad you’re back 💕
Hi Gina! I happen to come across your video and and cant stop watching.. you remind me of my grandmother..and everything she taught me......I miss my nanny, she passed 13 years ago, but every Sunday, when i cook my gravy, meat balls and everything, i always think of her and try to add something she made into every meal...
can you please show us how you make your bread...
I have a video making bread, this is the link for it:
th-cam.com/video/WbIaatruyHQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy it.
I am always impressed with the quality of the photography with all of Gina’s demonstrations!
I've missed you Nonna Gina!I told and showed my Mom all about you! She love you2...I make this too,and always add whole or stewed tomatoes,my Mom said people cook differently depending on the towns they are from she is from a small town near Varese Ripacandida..this is exactly the same..blows me away!!! glad you had a nice week away at the Beach with your daughter
Love watching you prepare your recipes. You are a beautiful soul Mamma Gina. I wish you were my grandma we would always be in the kitchen cooking and eating. 😋❤️🥖
Ah a most welcome return for the greatest Nonna in the world,

I miss my grandma so much!! Cherish Every moment you have with Gina! She is an Amazing Woman❣️
I love all the green veg you put in this Ciambotta: the green beans, zucchini, celery, basil, parsley.... they give the stew such a lovely fresh flavour, not too sweet. Big bowl of health!
I adore veggies under any form
I like the stew exactly the way you do it
Enjoy the best of health and lots of happy moments with your family dear Gina
I am a vegetarian and I will definitely make this. PLEASE more receipes like this for us non meat eaters. Thank you..I missed you so glad you spent time with your daughter. 😊

I’ve been thinking of you and anxiously waiting your return! I’ll be sure to make this, looks great. Thank you for coming back❤️
I'm lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive. I'm so glad to see an Italian dish I can eat. I love cooking with fresh summer vegetables. Gina do you save your vegetable scraps to make broth or for other cooking purposes?
I started using the two spoon s 🥄 🥄 like Gina does and I love it !! now .... lol, I feel like Gina when I do it ! That’s my girl !!
Anne Ball I'm 70 and from the South USA. Been cooking 60 yrs all wrong! I'm a Serial Stirrer!! Big spoon stir round and round!! Now "fold" like Gina!
Linda Haggard I know I like it it makes sense huh? But mam I doubt i that you were cooking ALL wrong! I love southern dishes! I am Italian so grew up watching my aunts and mom cooking but I really would love to make more good home style dishes that’s why I love watching our little Gina! She’s better than Racheal Ray any day lol cuz she’s old skill that we all better learn now ..... especially now with Italy being wiped out with this 🦠 virus !I watch Gina everyday so I can do it more with love instead of ..... Well let me get in this kitchen and start dinner now! Lol! I want a Gina cookbook lol! Long live the Queen of cooking! I am 66 so we are never to late to learn! Happy cooking Miss Linda! Soon it will be a lost art!
@@anneball4288 My Grand-Kids have lived with me (and their Mother, my daughter) since birth. Now 12, 13, 15) I started letting them cook with. me ince they could safely sit on a barstool! It added HOURS to the time I could make it alone! But it paid off!! Now 2 boys, 1 girl love to cook and are very good! Boy did they make a mess but made bushels of memories!!! Whoever marries them will eat well all their lives! Although young, they cook with love and laughter!! Nice chatting! Said a little prayer for you and yours for Jesus protection during this time while chatting with you! God bless you Anne!
I love the way you explain your plates, so delicious 😋, blessings Gina!

I made this tonight it was delicious
Happy Sunday, Grandma Gina! I just made a big pot of your Ciambotta and I can't wait for dinner tonight! We had this wonderful stew growing up and my Mother would serve it with some sort of meat...and, of course, Italian bread for dipping. I forgot to buy the bread, but like a good Italian, I think I'll make a little side of plain pasta that I can add the stew to. Thank you so much for this recipe...I love looking through your videos on Sundays, deciding what to try next!! Grazie and have a great week!
Please show us your garden
Here is the link to a video where we take a walk around my garden. I hope you get a chance to watch.
