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! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I don't know what I like more; her recipes, her singing or her beautiful Italian accent! She's adorable!
I just adore her, and her broken ENGLISH - JUST LIKE HOME !(GREW UP IN A THREE GENERATION ITALIAN FAMILY - WHAT A HAPPY CHILDHOOD!).... WONDERFUL MEMORIES......
Came for the food stood for Grandma! She has won me over! The cooking, the singing, I loved every moment of this video!
😊❤ Je suis toujours enchantée de regarder cette grand-mère Italienne. Ses recettes nous mette en appétit! Merci pour tout 💖
Enjoyed every moment of your video... especially your singing, thank you for the cooking lesson by a precious Grandma..a very lucky family indeed, she made my day brighter!
Absolutely she is gorgeous ❤❤❤
Too good Chef...love your style...singing as you cook!!!
00⁰😅😅😅😅⁹
I love when she sings in Italian while she's cooking! She's a happy cook! So many families don't have time for this anymore! So sad!
Buta wenna she doin duh dishes youa learna to swear ina Italineo
Isn't that sad there's no time for family cooking. But back then only one person worked and they lived humbly. Not like today kids wants more and more, people want more and more. It's a choice I guess
No fancy equipment, no fancy ingredients...just love, patience, and experience. We love you Gina and hope you will keep showing us how to cook for years to come. You make me miss my Grandma so much. We love you.
Sally Starr ❤️👍🏻
Mozzarella is tasteless, highly overrated- I never buy!
She helps soothe my heartache of missing my gramna who also was the best italian grammie ever! I learned so much from my gramma(s) and now am learning more from this gramma. But even more she is helpibg me to remember some of the little things I forgot. My gramma died almost 20 years ago.
So true !!
Sally Starr - same here 😪❤️
I love you, Grandma. I have to tell you that each night before I go to sleep I watch one of your videos to calm me down and bring me back to my youth when I spent time in the kitchen with my own Italian Gramdma, Mom and Aunts making all of these wonderful things. God bless and keep you, Grandma.
She reminds me of my Italian nonna Filomena.
She speaks english like her too.👍👏😘
I just love Nonna Gina. I have no live family members. My favorite aunt was also Italian and watched her make her Italian dishes. Thank you Nonna Gina you make me smile. God Bless you and your family.
Sweet lady! As a Polish American I wouldn’t make them this way. Like she said you make as you like.
It is so wonderful to see Gina's dear face, to listen to her beautiful accent and hear her recount sweet childhood memories. I love her singing too. Tell her how much her fans love her and wish her the best and pray for her. The recipes are the icing on the cake! Thank you for making this contribution to thousands of people's lives. God bless you.
Such a lovely comment. You made my heart smile, I agree. To bad we don’t all have her in our family to spend time with and hear wonderful stories. She’s precious and priceless ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My Nonna has Dementia and I found Nonna Gina recently and now we put her on everyday to watch a few recipes and from sitting depressed my nonna starts smiling and responding to the TV! Talking about the recipes she used to also make! So happy to have found this channel 💜 fans from the UK! 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
That's so beautiful...Bless you...xxoo
I did the same when my father was dying in the hospital. He would get so agitated and I would put nonna Gina on and he would calm down. You’ve touched so many lives Nonna! Thank you and God bless you.
Her SINGING while she cooked brought such Pure Joy....Good food in a Happy 🏠 Household. Don't get much better than that....
Love and prayers for you all.
C Patterson keeping your Grandmom in my prayers 🙏🏼
When she sings I get nostalgic about a time I have never lived myself, how I envy the old times when times were simpler, slower, without technology, where people were happy just to cook and sing together.
Are people happy to cook?
I find it to be a mandatory, three time a day job. All the chopping, prepping, cooking, serving, storing, washing dishes & putting away dishes is a "torturous" job. Yes, I'm definitely not a happy camper. I do it because a I have to, not choose to. 😒 I takes soooo much time to do & such little time to eat.
Sunflower...So go out and eat 3 times a day !
@@bextar6365
I wish. 🌠 I am a 24 hr a day, 365 days a year sole caregiver to my 82 yr old, bed-bound, Alzheimer's, Italian Mother. I have to prepare 3 healthy meals a day for her, along w/ all the other chores of the day. I'm always tired. I have no help. So to think somebody could be happy cooking to me is laughable in my particular situation. 😅
I would LOVE to go out & eat. I would LOVE to go out & do "anything". Only people in my situation could understand.
Watching this lady, reminds me of my mother cooking when she was young & healthy. She loved cooking. She loved it so much she opened a catering buisness. I can cook good, I just don't enjoy it.
Sunflower Baby - sorry to hear this. 😔. I wish there was folks to help you...you are so blessed to have her; my Mama is gone now.
It's strange how emotional it makes me. I just want to give her a huge hug and tell her thank you for being a part of our lives. ♥️
She takes us back to a better time in life, it's like having your Italian grandmother cook for you it's wonderful and then she sings to you too! ❤️
Sheishtrat
I've got no Italian blood in me but I love her❤️ made stuffed cabbage rolls today from her video and the family loved it.
Loved how easy to prepare she made this dish seem! Never saw anyone make stuffed cabbage before, though I've enjoyed it. I will try it now! And when she started singing, she made me cry! How sweet she is! Our hurting world surely does need people with hearts like hers in it. God bless her!
Yes so true I agree 100% with you on this and she is such an amazing lady she reminds me and makes me miss my Nona so so much
You are so right. She sure has helped me through some very dark times with her love. Her recipes are really good. The ones I have cooked came out great. But its her love for her family that comes through. Her family is so very blessed to have her.
I agree. It takes me back to the mutual love between my Italian friends and family in Syracuse, NY
Just love this lady she is amazing beautiful and has a warm heart love the singing she cooks with so much love. I am sure anything she cooks would be very delicious. God Bless her heart.
@@tiachandler5350 me also. My Nonna was so special. I cried a tear. Too be be remembered is too live forever with the Lord.❤😇✝️singing was in itself a timer for cooking. Think about all that coosko.❤
I am 60 years old and have just learned to make stuffed cabbage thanks to you, Ms. Gina. I have never really enjoyed cooking until I watched your videos. Your enthusiasm and joy for cooking is contagious. Hugs dear Ms.Gina.
Ms Arteritano, with all due respect, you learned how to make stuffed peppers replacing the peppers with cabbage.
Me too
This is the Italian Grandma we all need to have
SHE IS JUST LIKE MY MOM
@@chermainemadison8811 å
I wish my grandma was alive she cook just like her I miss her
Ok
You can tell that Mrs. Gina cooks for her family with love. We love you Mrs.Gina!
My new addiction is binge-watching Gramma Gina as she makes wonderful food - and sings! Special shout-out to her son-in-law and everyone who makes these videos possible. I am a show producer, and I know how much effort goes in behind the scenes, so I salute everyone, from Gramma Gina to the youngest helper. THANK YOU. These videos are wonderful.
Every time I watch you, I cry. I cry as I remember my nonna, mum and dad. All gone, but you bring them back. Thank you. Ciao
So you see God’s blessings still around us The traditions of family they are important The kitchen is the heart of the home I pray for her spirit and yours peace and love won’t be lost just keep cooking
No matter what our nationality is, we all need to have an adorable little Italian grandma to cook for us. 😋🤗
She's adorable !
I agree..
This is so different than the Russian/Polish/Slavic recipes I know but she is wonderful to watch and she really reminds me of my dear Grandma too who has been gone for decades and my mom's recipes. I love that deep pan.
Mine died when I was nine. I love this woman. I know she would have liked my grandmother. They both just make sense, and work hard.
@@roseg.4354 you are good, your family are lucky to have you a blessed Gran.
Your cabbage rolls looked wonderful, and so complete with your own canned tomatoes and tomato sauce. Homegrown tomatoes make the dish! I've never made Cabbage Rolls, but Grandma, after watching you, I'm going to make them for the first time. Thank you for the song, the memories of your singing brother and the experience of your years. Love you, Grandma.
I wish this lady was my Auntie, isn't she BEAUTIFUL!! I watched because I really wanted to learn how to cook Italian Stuffed Cabbage and ended up in tear's when she sang, I LOVE HER, she's AMAZING and What a delicious dish, cant wait to cook this and cant wait to watch more of her recipes
I pray all is well with Grandma Gina and I'm sure she is being well cared for in these trying times. Stay safe.
Why, is she sick? I hope not! She's so sweet, like my mother was! 🙏
I love Grandma Gina ,she reminds me of my beautiful grandma.I feel like I'm at home again many years ago.majes me feel happy,thank you grandma Gina for those memories God Bbless you!!!!
I love her ❤
My favorite part of her videos is when she sings and then tells us a little story of her past.. I love it ❤❤❤
You are very blessed to have her and thank you for sharing her with us 🤗💋
Kristin Denise me too! So sweet! ❤️
Kristin Denise I totally agree with your favorite parts of the video. I love it too! 💛💛💛
Mama, you made me cry. My grandmother and aunts would always sing just like you when they were cooking or cleaning. In fact, my grandmother would answer questions in a song. You made me remember them so much, I cried. They were always so happy. I miss them dearly. God bless you.
Jane here. I make bohemian style cabbage rolls and I had no idea they are made in Italy as well, with Italian flavors. They look so delicious; you are such a thorough teacher. Thank you for the video.
To all the high schools that discontinued cooking class due to no funding....find an empty class room and put in big screen and let grandma do the rest. we will learn much more than cooking from this sweet grandma.....
I LOVED the
"Much More than Cooking"...
She Radiates Joy
Comfort
Compassion
SINGING while you cook...
Find Something that you Love to do and Do it well...
She would be the Perfect Teacher...
I Loved Home Ec in Jr. High...
only 1 class but
STILL Remember Cooking Carrots almost 50 yrs later!
alan chomor what a great idea!!
My son’s high school had home ec and it was required! He graduated in 2013. I wish all schools had it. He learned a lot about balancing a home budget, cooking, and sewing. I still have his pillow he made ❤️
Superb idea...
Everyone can learn to cook if they just want to, it's not the school's job. Teachers are overworked enough as it is.
"Ingredients: One Grandma"
LOLOLOL!!! ♡♡♡ And one loving, generous, intelligent son-in-law who so diligently puts it all together for all to see! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING MY OWN GRANDMA FILOMENA BACK INTO MY LIFE!♡ Who would have believed that in 2020, I could close my eyes and hear my grandma again in the kitchen?! ♡ (and the Italian singing is the ultimate bonus!)
I LOVE YOU, GINA!!! ♡~♡~♡
I loved that...”1 Grandma”. ❤️🤧☺️✨
P
While I love her and her cooking, I'm 100% Polish, and all she did was Itailion up a traditional Polish dish with cheese and gravy! But, I still love you and will follow/cook you recipes. As long as they're authentic Italian! Cabbage rolls are 100% Polish!
@@cm1jasonwilber I guess that other cultures might possibly stuff and roll cabbage leaves. Or grape leaves.
Don't suppose that there is only one place in the whole world that stuffs leaves and cooks them 😄😄😄
(The Chinese have their own recipe for stuffed cabbage leaves. )
She reminds me of my Bucca. My grandmother second husband's he was from Italy everybody called him and his brother chick and a little chick. He was really a tonso. My grandmother married him when I was about 1 so I really loved him and I spent a lot of time with him he was makes this I wonder if she has a polenta recipe. I never did learn to make that he passed away on his 90th birthday in his sleep I miss him God bless everyone
I LOVED IT when you laughed when you first took the foil off! I cried because I felt the love and the happiness inside of you. I will be making these for the Sisters at the Monastery this week - I had to see how the Master Cook does it. I took notes, now I got it! I pray to God I can be as happy as you are. I love you, Gina! ~♡~ THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME. And a HUGE THANK YOU to your son-in-law for bringing you into my life with all his fantastic filming! ~♡~
I am so glad to have found Gina. She is my mothers age and also looks similar to her. I adore watching Gina because it’s as if I am watching my mom in the kitchen, cooking, telling stories of their youth and laughing. I feel fortunate to have found you and making your delicious food. Stay healthy and keep cooking❤️❤️❤️. God Bless
every time I watch this lady's videos I feel like I'm in my grandma's kitchen I love her
Me too, I am thinking of my grandma who made stuffed cabbage the Litvak way, and I am crying.
Beautiful memories I am sure.... treasure them forever !!!
My little Polish grandma & my Kansas farm grandma have been the makers of my best memories. Always in the kitchen using our hands, wooden spoons and cast iron. Watching these videos is like a time machine going back decades when we "made such fun then eat it up". You are a treasure I just spent the entire day. I'm so crabby that hot dogs on the grill are for dinner tonight. But tomorrow.......watch out. xoxo
I love grandma gina.love her recipes.the stuffed cabbage rolls were delicious.brava!
@@debbiesmith8083 my polish grandma and babci never cooked the ground beef, no celery or cheese. That’s the real polish way but she did a good job otherwise
How can anyone give Gina a thumbs down???? Luca Brazzi needs to pay them a visit......
I know! Isn't she just precious??
Signor Kent , non ne parliamo piu
Luca Brazzi "sleeps with the fishes" - but you're right, how on earth can anyone give this lovely woman a thumbs down!
@@SignorKent yes.. very true🥰🥰🥰🥰
someone with a mean spirit and ignorance would give a thumbs down.
I am touched Grandma shared, not just this recipe, but that she missed her brother. So sweet to share that glimpse of her happy childhood 😊
I really love you. You remind me of my grandma. She, like you would break into the old country songs. I wish you the best of health so I can keep seeing you. PS..you have a sweet voice. Our family came from Turi Bar .
Turi, Bari
😍

I'm Irish and I love your sweet Grandma. She's the Grandma of us all no matter what nationality.
Who needs television?
We can learn a lot from this amazing woman!
God Bless you and your family.
Pennies For Dreams - just realized the other day that TH-cam is my TV 🤦😆
I love your family
@@Janney3791 I love you family
You are such a SWEETHEART 💕💕 my heart melt when I watch you. When you sing and especially when you say "somebody like make, somebody no like no make". Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives. Love you Gina
Ghada Khoury I agree! I also like “You like, you put. You no like, you no put.”
@@SparrowStockwell Yes! That's exactly what my Italian grandma used to say :)
Am half Italian and each time I watch her I feel so much blessed I wish I had the previledge to know more.... lovely cooking grandma
I love this Grandma. I just started growing my own tomatoes last year and now she makes me feel like I can can my own and make my own sauces. So much better than store bought! Thank you lovely lady! God bless her.
She is such a pleasant Grandma, she's not mine but I learned to love her as mine too!
Great cook and delicious dishes too!
Hi aloha itsa Lance, I’m so happy to have found Gina. I lost my mom several years ago. Her name was Theresa, Italian from Buffalo 4ft 10 ball of fire. Gina reminds me of my mom and the way she cooked and talked and believe it or not she would sing too. I miss momma Theresa so much and Gina makes it all better.. thank you and I will be cooking these recipes 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌈
I just love how she uses her every-day kitchen plates, pots and utensils. None of those fancy-schmancy, overly-expensive kitchen items -- and doesn't have super-speed chopping skills -- that the show-offy cooks on the Food Network use. Simple, basic, and where everyone can feel comfortable.
Helene Giansante 👍👍🌸🌸🥰🥰
My sentiments exactly! Love to listen to her accent.
Actually, that is one of the reasons why I watch her and also all the chefs at Bon Appetit as well❗️👏👍🙌☺️🌞
Yes. Just like home! : )
Above all, her accent is sweet!
I love this grand lady’s presence. As a Slovak-descended Yank, with a lifetime of living among snd loving Italians, I love this recipe’s meeting of Slavic Central European cuisine with an Italian infusion of technique and ingredients.
To all grandma Gina children.... appreciate and treasure every moment that grandma Gina is still in your lives. She is the best grandma ever ❤️ I wish grandma Gina was mine. Love always South Africa Mphumalanga 🇿🇦
She’s adorable. Very comforting during these stressful times.
Grandma Gina is my bright spot daily now during this corona virus
Gina u r a great teacher & I love all your recipes & I love your accent too ! love U & thank U
She reminds me of home.....when I hear Gina speak my spirits just rise...♡
Gina is wonderful..so is jw.org
She reminds me of my "straight from the Azores" Portuguese grandmother 👵
Angels on earth do exist one of there names is Gina GBH ❤️✝️
This is my favorite lady in the world. I'd give almost anything to just sit and listen to her stories about food and cooking and eating with family
Blessings to your nonna too happy she's smiling again.
Nonna Gina, every time I watch you it's like seeing and listening to my own Sicilian mamma, whom i miss very much. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤️
Tess ❤️👍🏻
Tess 👍🏻👍🏻
The way she laughs when they come out of the oven. Priceless.
michelle glowala I agree. She sounds like a cute imp. Aww right! 😃
Grandma Gina. It is such a pleasure to watch your videos! I can't wait to try ALL of your recipes. God bless you and keep you safe.❤
You caught that; Right! She knows she created a masterpiece! Love it, love her!🖤🖤🖤
Really enjoy watching your videos grandma Gina your dishes just look great and so delicious and full of love ❤️👍
I love to watch her!!Gina is a blessing to everyone,and its so nice to see the Blessed Mother on her window sill in the background.Thank you Gina and thanks to your family for helping me learn to cook!
Never knew my grandma so now Gina your my honorary grandma.
Gramma Gina's in her Cocina, singing and cooking in her own special way, we all love to watch her, and for a while the world's ok.
How could anyone give this wonderful lady a thumbs down?
Thank you for all the excellent recipes Gina!
I have had the privilege of living the tail end of that time, cooking and singing, watching the magic happen without TH-cam recipes but from granny’s memory. The feeling of happiness…indescribable…
Love the Italian singing. Beautiful.
Grand ma I love how you say olive oil, and it go like this. I find myself saying it go like this. I love you Grandma. God bless
Celeste Solomon I like that you find yourself saying Gina’s words! Cute!
Thank you for doing this today! The world right now needs a bit of happiness and hope. Love you Grandma Gina
I really love watching Gina in her kitchen. Brings back lots of memories cooking with my late mother-in-law. God Bless Gina and her family for making these videos. ❤
I must say it's the first stuffed cabbage recipe I have watched where they added cheese! Thanks Grandma love the cooking and singing.
I made this for dinner yesterday! My son loved it and that means everything to me. I do love to cook and when I ran into the video, not only did I want to make it but I wanted to keep watching because you are just so great.
While making the recipe, I did panic a bit because I wanted it to be just right for my family, but during the moments of panic, you started to sing! It was perfect timing ever time! It made me relax and smile when you sang. I love it. I love the pace of your videos. I love how you speak of your memories, I love your accent, everything! Thank you so much for your time and generosity with your recipes. I can’t wait to do more!
Your son will treasure the memories and tell his kids which, you will be cooking for also one day. It's these little things that we etch into our mind that make it all worth it. Beautiful family time. 😉
Grandma Gina I enjoyed watching you cookI watched for first time and l am hooked.Makes me miss my grandma..Be safe.You are special lady.
My son loves it too
Will Be In New York City Thursday...Will Light Candle For You Gina At Saint Patrick’s Cathedral♥️
💕SWEET💕
james kissam ..love St Patrick’s Cathedral. Was there in 2000. Cheers from Australia.❤️🥰
Wow....that's a great idea!
Every dish this Italian women makes looks so delicious! I actually remember her recipes by memory. She is an excellent cook and teacher.
How I wish I could have filmed my Mamo cooking in her kitchen, she passed in 1980. My god she could make anything taste heavenly! Please treasure your Nonna's!!!!
When she started singing is when I had to subscribe and like!!!!
ME TO!!!!
@@klo1107 Yes I did to
DITTO! :)
Oh how I miss my Grandma. I feel like I'm watching her all over again. She spoke and acted just like Gina. My Grandma could cook up storm.
Best part, for those of us whose grandmothers were either from the Depression Era or the War-time Era (for those of us of a certain age--it was one or the other!).... NOTHING gets wasted! Add some water to the jar and pour it into the pot! Still makes me feel good when I do that and I am not being wasteful!
I am writing from Ontario, Canada. I love your recipes and have tried a few. They have turned out perfect. She is such a joy to watch and listen to....I wish her good health, and keep on cooking Gina.
Thank you Nona Gina for an AMAZING meal!!!!!!
Thanks for typing it out!

@@sunflowerbaby1853 of course!!
Thanks. You're terrific.
Thank you for typing it out. I love Gina, she is the best Chef I have seen, love her food and baking, I try some of her recipes and it's gorgeous. I am from Connemara, Ireland. 💛💛💛
Gina, this looks delicious!!!
One day, at the end of your cooking magics, you should show some pictures of your youth in Italy, of your parents, of your wedding day, etc.
We'd enjoy that so much.
I think they should do that while she's singing!
Please do, we’d love it! Almost as much as your cooking!
Pl do, I'd love to watch your photos as much as I enjoy to watch your videos
Yes, please share photos of your youth, family, etc. We feel like we know you from how personable you are in your videos.
I worked so hard yesterday on this and made it the way Gina did and I think I have Florida inferiority produce. Mine wasn't good. I love you Gina, you've taught me so much and I never stop watching you. Icare for my mother who is 100 and she is happy but upset with the sins of today. We watch EWTN every day and we pray the rosary. GOD BLESS YOU AND YUR FAMILY!
Who would ever dislike this wonderful woman's videos???🤔😡...... She is a gem❤
I love how she talks with that Italian accent she is one amazing person
Lovely lady. Somebody knows if you can put the leftover in the freeze?
This lady makes me wish I was Italian.
Same with me!!!
I think that I was Italian in another life! ☮️💥
You are right... All gone... But we have a good memories 😢
I'll try to make your way this time, because I do this cabbage stuffed in different way... No cheese, rice I don't cook.... And don't fry the meat.... Everything with lots of herbs... Goes in a cabbage and I cook...
I enjoying watching you mam and I'm learning new things from you. 😊
Thank you.
Her singing made me smile 🥰
Gina, you remind me so much of my Nonna Luigia from the Veneto. Sadly she passed away when I was just 13, (over 50 years ago) but I have so many wonderful memories of her - mostly in her her garden where she and my Nonno grew all of their own produce, and of course of the delicious meals she prepared for us and served at her giant dining room table.
The way you speak reminds me so much of her, too. Sometimes we didn't use the same language but we always understood each other.
She did not sing as you do - which I love so much - but she loved to hear our other family members sing Italian songs around the table.
Whenever I watch your videos I smile at your warm greeting and enjoy listening to your stories. I always learn from you - I also love to cook and you have much knowledge and experience to share. I am hoping someday to be able to do make all of wonderful traditional meals you make.
I wish you good health, a long life and always a song in your heart. Big warm hugs from Bianca :)
Beautiful words my dear. Bless you
Gina, I made this stuffed cabbage yesterday (Tuesday, March 31) ... what a mess I had ... I don't think I have ever used as many pots and pans and bowls for any other recipe ever in my life . 😀 You make it look so easy!!! You must know that I am not a very good cook, and I don't really enjoy being in the kitchen, but your enthusiasm for cooking is contagious. I am trying to do better. 💗
Great Job!!! You have to fall in love with your food. And thn every moment is special and magical!! Bon apetite !!!
I have an easier method of cabbage preparation in my video!
Food TV with Lily she said you can vary it to your style adding and subtracting ingredients. You can make it vegan too.
@@vivetkah Yes! You can mix rice with mushrooms, carrot, onion, and celery. You can use any other grains, rice is not necessary.
I found that quickly washing up the dishes as you go is SO helpful! Good luck in your cooking journey. It gets so much easier when you get used to being efficient and organize your kitchen so everything is handy.
I wish she was my grandmother... ❤️🙏🙌✌️
Nona U are so sweet. It takes me back to my yester years those were the good old days which will never come back luv u grandma by watching your video itr really enlightens me God bless you always with good health and a long life.
Grandma makes me feel I am a child and I am in my beloved grandmas kitchen.. Thanks Grandma Gina. Lots of love from down under
Grandma Gina, You could feed the world with your skill and love. May God keep you and your family safe during and after the corona virus is long gone.
Nonna Gina remind me of home. I am not Italian, but I grew up around Italians. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire video. Grazie mille for sharing!!!
I love how you printed the recipe for us to follow. Best of all is the singing!! I do not need to know the language to love it, but I wish I did know the language. I also love the stories.
Looks amazing! She is the cutest grandma ever, and she makes my heart smile! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much Gina. You are so kind for sharing your recipes online. Bless your heart for being so lovely and admireable.

As much as I absolutely love watching Gina sharing, making her recipes, then cooking them myself along with listening to her family stories from over the years....there is something that I enjoy even more. I absolutely love it when she has shared and read her fan mail along with pictures that are sent to her. To see how much excitement and joy that it gives her is so incredibly heartwarming. She is so incredibly humble. She was clearly shocked to find out how many people so love her and have such an appreciation for what she puts out into the world and shares with us. I always used to laugh, because it used to seemed as though she was just indulging her kids in making these videos almost as though they had to convince her how much she had to offer us and how many people would enjoy her cooking, her stories and just simply who she was.... Not to mention how much she would very likely enjoy it herself, in the first place. After the first time she was receiving and and sharing fan mail, I could not have been happier for her. She certainly deserved it and what an absolutely lovely soul. Her Family is most certainly Blessed, as is She.
She brings me so much joy. Reminds me of my glorious youth.
Hi my beautiful Grandma Gina I just brought your book. Again thank you from Australia. I have made so many of your recipes. My favourite was your Easter bread it was perfect. My family loved them I made 10 because I’m Greek Orthodox and you recipe was the best I have ever made. The only thing I add was a Greek spice .Thank you my lovely grandma. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I lived far from my grandmothers growing up, so I didn’t know them well. I watch Mama Gina’s videos partly for the delicious recipes, and partly for the experience I wish I had shared with my grandmothers. God bless you, Mama Gina, and thank you for sharing yourself with the world! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Same here. Such a shame we didn’t get to know our grandmothers. Growing up I was always envious of friends who had large families. Take care and stay safe - from one Tracey to another☺️
My dear “italian grandma”, It is my favourite dish, I prepare it differently, but I am absolutely sure yours will be delicious. I will try it your way. But the main purpose of my commentary is to tell you that I love you! You are wonderful! Bellissima!!! ❤️❤️❤️. Stay healthy, live long and make your family and all us ( your fans) happy!!! 😘😘😘😘😘
She brought back so many memories of cooking with my own Italian grandmother, love it!!!!
Who are the people disliking this video? Grandma Gina is beautiful and she cooks with so much love.
Ms. Gina- we just love watching you cook. I feel like I’m part of your family. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your recipes. We wish you good health and continued videos! With love from northeast TN!
"You follow me what I'm a gonna do" Reminds me of my childhood. Waste absolutely nothing and the food is fantastic because it was made with love
I never seem get to bed before 12am I start watching 8 pm after dinner Then I say I'll only watch one of nonna Ginas recipes & then I say I'll watch just one more & so on but I'm so relaxed when I fall asleep I sleep 8 hours Wish I could get my family to watch & learn You have to make sure you watch nonna Gina's cooking only on a full stomach because you would be drooling too much The News of the World is so bad that she is like a breath of fresh air Grazi Gina What a blessing to us all to find your buonapettiti Gina Pettitti 🥰
Maybe you didn't notice, but the most important ingredient she put into this recipe was... LOVE.
