    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!

    Ms Gina. You warm my heart. I am a 70 year old African American woman and in 1960 was raised in our family home on an all Italian Street in Park Slope Brooklyn. Our homes and back yard was connected to the most amazing Italian family. There was never a bitter word from those lovely people on our street. The neighbors two daughters were the same age as my sister and me. We grew up as life long friends. Their daughters along with my sister and I returned over the years to share kids and visit our respective parents. Ms Salvina was their mom and the dad was a postal worker that she used to call Anthony. (Antho-nee😊) She and you could have been sisters. I smile and recall the countless Italian meals and priceless memories we shared with the homeowners and families on 10th Street between 5th and 6th. God bless you and your family Ms. Gina.

      Grandma's live to Love you, to teach you, and to selflessly make you happy! They are slow moving superheros for your soul! One thing you don't have is enough time. If your lucky enough to have one or more grandma's, spend time with them. Not for them, for both of you! Learn to cook or sew or garden,nothing tastes better than unconditional Love. But most of all, learn how to be a better mom and dad today, and how to be the best grandma and grandpa soon! They never go out of style and our World needs them more than ever. PEACE

I learned and in later years I became a chef and had an Italian restaurant in the Bronx in the 60's. I love to watch you cook, it reminds me of growing up in Brooklyn and cooking every Sunday. Your recipe's are exactly the same as grandmas! I lived in Italy for a while in the 60's and want to go back next year, my family is all gone and I watch you just like I used to watch them. Thank you very much!

    Grandmother's from yesterday are something really special! Such hard working and gifted women. I miss my grandma so much! Every single time I went to her house she always had fresh baked pies and homemade jelly. She made the best biscuits and gravy breakfast. Any day of the week if you drove by her house right at sun up you would see her gardening in her yard. Miss my grandma, mom, and all of my uncles. I'm 53 and it's hard getting older when you loose all of your family. Cherish every moment with them because life is shorter than you think!
