FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. It is in the province of Foggia in the Puglia region of southeast 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 enjoys making food for her family in the same old fashion ways as she was taught by her mother and grandmother in Italy, and also new things she has subsequently learned from family and friends in America. She also enjoys 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 and behind the scenes?
Grandma Gina’s retired son-in-law, Nick, does the filming, editing, production, and channel management. Her daughter, Maria, helps with food preparation, kitchen setup and fan support. Also, Grandma Gina usually has one or two grand-kids in the kitchen to help.
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!
I just yelled to my husband…”GINA’S BACK”…I was so worried about you!I’m so glad you are well and doing your cooking again. We all missed you!!!!! Love 😅😘🥰
Yes me as well sister we are blessed to hear her lovely voice fantastic friday gift
@Willow-Sage Braden smiles at willow
@Willow-Sage Braden i m ordering the book as soon as I get home.
i yelled she's back too,,,,,,awwww
Yes we did. 😊😊😊😊
I am so emotional anyone else? I think of Gina a lot and I pray she is in good health who knew she was making us a book God Bless her .oxox
I do as well. I tear up with happiness ❤️
I’m a though guy she literally made me cry 😢
God bless this lovely and gentle woman❤😊
No not me. But I’m not unhinged and can get a grip on basic fundamentals unlike other weak people. I’m not a basic B.
So nice mama,we learnt so many basinal dishes from you, wish you good and long life CIAO
Nona is back!!!! "Enjoy, Gina!" - that was priceless.
This made my heart so happy!!! ❤️❤️❤️. LOVE LOVE LOVE to you Ms. Gina. Definitely ordering the cookbook. So glad you are back, healthy, and willing to teach us more. May God continue to bless this beautiful Grandma.
♡♡♡ Nona Gina !
Devo dirti che ero davvero preoccupato per la tua così lunga assenza… La prossima volta fai dei brevi video per far sapere a tuoi amici che stai bene… Amo la tua cucina (e il tuo inglese con accento italiano 😄) e questa volta hai cucinato la mia vita No .1 ricetta!!! 😀😀😀♥️♥️♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Il tuo super fan greco dalla Polonia/Germania…..
so happy your back
your number1 in my heart, God bless you Gina,Nona ❤
I love that she included pictures of her family and friends in the cookbook. A meal is never complete without someone special to share it with ❤
So True ❤️
Everybody gangsta until Gina starts dual-wielding the kitchen tools. 😂 Looks amazing.
Chuckles
LOL THAT'S RIGHT 😂🤣😆
WHY ARE THERE ANY DISLIKES FOR THIS? Gina doesn't deserve any dislikes!. She is honest, good hearted and lovely (and very talented) . God bless you Gina. xxx
May they get the back of the spoon upside their heads for that.
I think they're jealous of this lovely nonna Gina
I agree
I don’t think the dislikes are about Gina but perhaps the recipe may not be acceptable to everyone. There are different ways of preparing many recipes depending on the regions.
@@candycain1001 Hahaha! Truly!
One of the most adorable personalities I've seen.
You're right. She is the sweetest and so cheerful. She's like the Italian Miss Swan, lol.
I love here since 2 secs of watching this vid.. She made me smile allllll the time haha
I made this yesterday for my BF and we loved it! He turned and said “you gotta make this again” grandma Gina helping me get a husband lol😂 ❤
🤣
Ha
I HAVE TO ADMIT, LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD I WAS WORRIED!! NOW, I AM VERY, VERY RELIEVED!! WHAT A COME BACK, A BOOK AND A GLORIOUS BOLOGNESE--BRAVA TUTTI DI'BRAVA!!! NEXT ORDER, 3 BOOKS--1 FOR ME AND 2 FOR DUI AMICI. GRAZI !!!
You’re back in your own home! I’m happy for you. I’m sure it was good to be with your daughter during lockdown, but there’s no place like home.
Amen to that
She doesn't know this yet, but I've just adopted her as my grandmother.
Me too! ;)
Me too
Same !! I tell my husband I’m watching my Italian grandma cook 🙂
@@tammyelton4314 hahahaha... I just love her. Reminds me of my grandmother.
@@tammyelton4314 Hands off she's mine! Lol! ;) I never had a grandmother and I love to cook, so you have competition. Ha ha! :)
I just bought the cookbook! I can not tell you how many times your family has brought me so much happiness. I play her voice while I cook. I want her to live without pain, forever.
Nonna made me tear up when she sang. I miss my mama and nonna so much. Now I cook and eat alone. Grief is the price we pay for love. God bless you Gina and your family.
Right omg. That song was very pretty
may they rest in peace
Gina, you remind me of my Nonna. When I watch you, I wish she was here. Congratulations on your cookbook. Love your videos, your singing, and your praying. Thank your family for sharing you with us. God bless you. From Pittsburgh, PA.
All I can say is she warms my heart watching her cook. Listening to her talk and sing. 😭 I love her.
Same!
I wish she was my grandma.
Me too! She's such a sweetheart! 😘❤️🎶🙏🏾
I’m so glad you’re back !!!!we have all been so worried about you and we missed you greatly !!!congratulations on the book😊❤️
I am originally from Ethiopia and I love Nonna Gina’s recipes (and her spontaneous singing sessions!) I will definitely order her cookbook!
Ethopians are probably fascinated by every food since they never got any.
How miserable you are
@@pockit5107 then you have not tried ethopian food. I'm not ethopian, but ethopian food is one of the best kinda of food you will ever taste. Don't be so close minded
Why do I get the feeling that there are many Ethiopian grandmothers that love to cook for their families just like Gina? I’d love to watch an Ethiopian grandmother cook like this, I bet the recipes would be amazing.
@pockit5107 I can tell that you must be butthurt by something an Ethiopian did to you in the past. Were you dumped by an Ethiopian girl or somethin 🤡😆
YOU’RE BACK!!! Oh, how I’ve missed you. Sending hugs. You are a treasure.
Do you have your channel?
She is so happy to be back in her own kitchen! Congrats on the book.
Welcome back!!! We’ve missed you. Congratulations on the book.
Today I searched "authentic Italian food" because that's my favorite kind of food and found her today and instantly fell in love with her. She is so darn precious, I'm sure us trying her recipes and her making them herself, doesn't taste exactly the same because it always needs a mothers/grandmothers touch.
She is awesome! I found her when she first came out on CZcams. She is so cute!!!
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.
There is no such thing as authentic. Everyone makes it different. I have had bolognese with a touch of nutmeg.
I love to watch you Mama Gina. I also think your cooking is very authentic Italian.
We would like to make Pizza & some pasta dishes. We would also like to make cheese.
It sure does, that is so true .
LOVE .. makes Food "Shine" . 🤠🖖
So glad you’re back !!! Plus a. Book!! Wow!! Greetings from Wales U.K. x
"I like to cook. I like to stay in the kitchen", me too grandma Gina. Me too. But I appreciate when someone else does the dishes😁🤗
This is the smartest thing ever by her family: to save and memorialize it all now with her blessing it and overseeing it! and SHARING it! because that's how it and she lives on forever and will. GOD Bless her with 100+ more years!
I'm envious that I didn't do this with my parents and grandparents no matter how many times they asked me to do it. My regret. This is BEAUTIFUL..
I know I would give anything for this type of technology to have been around before my grandma passed away in 1970, I still miss her and her cooking and spending time with us kids. Holidays was always so special at her house.
Same here I didn’t do this with my parents and grandparents also.
Amen.amen
Your comment brought tears to my eyes, and I don't cry that easily, I want u to know, blessings 2u.
No matter how low I may feel, or how difficult my day, watching Gramma Gina cook lifts my spirits like nothing else! PLUS I get help & guidance on how to make amazing Italian food the Old School way . For me, delicious Italian food comforts like a warm hug... and I'm not even Italian! THANK YOU, Gramma Gina & Crew for your hard work. Two thumbs up.
I love every thing about Gina, she is a wonderful cook, and a very lovely lady!!! ♥️ and 🙏🏼 May God bless und keep you!
Beautiful voice! Love when you sing and pray. Such in authentic lady.
4:54 when she said her favorite thing in life is to cook I felt like giving her a hug 🥺 one of my favorite things in life is to cook to! I take cooking very seriously and I rather spend hours cooking than getting take out. It just makes me happy!
Home cooking beats any take out. Thank You Gina for all of the delicious meals you make. You inspire us all.
I bet you’re an awesome cook! 👍🏼
I love this woman. She’s authentically original. Believes in God. Just a truly nice person. God Bless you Gina. I’m Irish American but you can be my honorary Grandma
Yes indeed, I am black- and I remember when I was a kid my parents were in a bad accident and my Italian neighbors, who were friends of the family at church, took care of my brother and I until our parents got better. I remember the songs, and helping in the garden- very great memories they were like our other grandparents :)
And Nona is a Jersey Girl...
@@inkmage4084 ... 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Yes love her
!!!
So people that don't believe in God aren't nice according to you ?
I love watching Grandma Gina cook all her favorite dishes that her family loves. To the family members who started her channel, you did a great thing to give her purpose and satisfaction in what she already enjoys doing and is good at. You have done something wonderful for her. This makes her happy. God bless the whole entire family that appreciates her gift and recipes. Oh, and her legacy lives on in her recipes that she is leaving for all to enjoy.
Nonna Gina!

Ive never commented on CZcams before, but I’m breaking that tradition to send you a token of the love and admiration and appreciation that everyone in my household feels for you. Thank you for sharing with us so generously. ❤️
Gina I made a double batch of this sauce. I had 20 people over for dinner and we all loved it. It was excellent! Thank you very much! I was in the kitchen all day! I dipped a hunk of bread in your sauce for my lunch while it was halfway done cooking and drank the rest of the 🍷 wine! 😆You're such a sweet Lady with a beautiful heart.
She just said “enjoy, Gina”. Love this lady! I am definitely going to try this for sure!
I've been watching this channel for a while now. I have kinda adopted you as the Italian grandmother i always wished I had. It's so cool that you got your cookbook. I actually had to laugh because I can see how proud of it you must be. Im happy for you.
My husband and I were just saying how we wished my grandmother could have made a cookbook . So happy you are well and thriving. Thank you for writing down your beautiful dishes so we will enjoy your cooking forever.
Never thought I’d be obsessed with an Italian Grandma 🥰 bought the book and still watch the videos !
Where can I get the book?
@@thomasbrian1411 Amazon!
Thank you.
Hope you are doing just fine?
Wish she was my grandma.
Grandma Gina, you are the #1 selling book in the Italian Cooking section of Amazon! :D Congratulations! I bought your book and also I bought the ingredients for this recipe so I need to start cooking!
Gina, my mom came from Santa a Maria vico, you remind me so much of her,the way you talk,sing cook everything. You bring back so many happy memories of my mom,whom I love and miss so much! Love you, thank you for all your videos. Keep them coming!
Ringrazia a Dio!!!! Che giorno bello che finalmente Nona Gina ha ritornata a tutti noi!!! Before I even watched the video, cara Nonna, I ran right to Amazon to buy your book! We understand it took time to write, but don’t ever leave us again! This book is what all your fans have been waiting for! 😘❤️
All I can say is YAY!! So happy to see you. Funny thing is…I don’t even cook! I just love to watch and listen. You bring warm feelings of FAMILY. God bless you. 🙏🏽❤️
She is great to listen to, right? I love to cook, but sometimes if I am anxious....I listen to her and she calms me.......
You should try just one recipe, and you’d be hooked. Everything Gina makes tastes just wonderful.
Praise the Lord! This calls for a celebration, 🎉congratulations 🎉 on your new cookbook! I bet they'll sell like hotcakes 😘👌
Blessings to you, lovely lady💕🙏
P.S.
I could listen to you sing forever 😍 Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us! 🙏

Love you grandma Gina.. love your cooking.. I love to cook for my family.. I am going to get your cookbook and make this recipe and a bunch of the others.. I miss my grandma, my mom & my dad.. they were all gone when I was 18 years old.. now I'm a mama of 5.. wish I could adopt you as our grandma.. sending you lots of love ❤️
My husband just received your cookbook as a gift and he loves it. We are looking forward to trying more of your recipes. He cooks, I eat. Welcome back ♥
I'm so relieved to see you on here again. I was sad to think that maybe you weren't going to be on here anymore. I called out to my whole house that you were back!!
I happened to watch your pizza video earlier today, made fresh pizza for dinner, came in the living room to watch something while eating it, and here you are again!!
Such a blessing.
Thank you! I am excited to get a copy of your treasured recipes!
God bless you, Grandma Gina :)
Nonna Gina, I made your bolognese sauce and my kids loved it and kept asking for more. I'm so happy you found the time to publish your cookbook. It's a real treasure!
In Sweden kids loves bolognese sauce and pasta with ketchup on it, even adults love it with ketchup, so let your kids try it that way the next time :)
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 order the book. I think I may be the first in Japan to order the paperback version. I love your passion. I love your heart. I love your recipes. I love your videos. Good luck with your book and I can not wait for version 2 and more videos. Thank you, Gina! Thank you for being on CZcams and sharing your passion with the world.
Oh Gina! I was so worried! I saw the new video. I yelled to my husband Gina is back ! Oh you can’t imagine how much I missed your videos. I Love ❤️ your cooking. I’ve made so many of your recipes and they are all amazing. Thank you!!!! Oh going to amazon to order the new cookbook........❤️
I love Gina. She's the Italian grandma I always wished I had. God bless Gina!
Thank you Gina. I love you.
I yelled out loud, “NONNAS BACK!” Welcome! You’ve been missed! And a big congrats on your book, time to celebrate 🎉 🥰
This is so lovely and comforting! I grew up in an Italian Kitchen and my grandparents are long gone. This was so comforting and beautiful and I loved the song especially! This recipe looks incredible and I look forward to making it soon! Thank you Nona Gina for this moment of nostalgic JOY, reminders of love, home cooked authentic food and delicious anticipation! God Bless you, too.
My son surprised me today with a package, he handed it to me and said "Happy early Birthday Mom.". Guess what it was? Yes, your cookbook!!!! I was so happy, now I really have you at my house. Nona Gina comes to Israel. Thank you again for sharing your recipes and your big heart. Thank your family for sharing you with the world (even if it was just for the family and friends at first) Let see we have Mexican Monday, I think we will now have Gina Tuesday. Blessings and hugs.
Happy Birthday!
@@BuonAPetitti Thank you.
I’ll buy your book but I want an album of your singing.
I know! I love it when Gina sings.
❤️❤️❤️ we love you MamaGina
Right!
I was all “Oh my goodness Gina is ok - with the pandemic I was so worried that you had been ill - or worse. So so glad your ok 👍🏻 and love that you e done a recipe book - so going to enjoy this ♥️
My favorite part.... when she sings to her food. Precious. ❤️

I will buy the book. You bring me memories of my childhood with my amazing grandmother. She was an amazing cook like yourself! Thank you so much for all of the time you put into teaching us. We love you!
My 5 yr old son has been waiting for more from you! As soon as he wakes up and when hes falling asleep he says please can we watch mama Gina
I woke my husband, “Gina’s back! And she has published a cookbook!”
You had me a little worried and when i saw this my heart smiled! Grandma Gina you are the world's Grandma ❤ And I can see from all the comments, I'm not wrong.. You really are loved that much Grandma Gina's 🤗
I was a little worried too. Glad to see her back in the kitchen, doing what she loves.
Mrs. Gina, You are precious and a joy to watch! Your family must feel so blessed. Thank you so much for sharing with us your tried and true secrets ❤️
I just received the book, it only took 3 days to Italy! It's full of colour photos - at least one on every page! Buonissimo! Grazie mille Gina!!!!!!!
is Amazon the only way you can get that book tho?? I want it, but don't want to use Amazon particularly.
Oh my god welcome back I’m so happy ❤️🙏🏻
I have received your book Grandma Gina .... IT IS SUPERB, I LOVE IT ..... The inclusion of your family photos is simply wonderful .... We can now 'see' those of whom you speak and hold so dear, thank you .... I highly recommend your book to all your followers ...... A post on here says an ALBUM OF YOUR SINGING NEXT and I agree ..... We can play it while cooking your recipes in our own kitchens, sounds good to me ....... Much love ..... Paula UK
Does it include this recipe?
ma gina ,I'm Italian , i live in Italy . you cook like my mum used to . I love you because you are very very good and you remind . me her. .........love
So happy to see you again!! I wondered if you had ever thought of putting out a cookbook. My birthday is next month so when my husband asks what I would like, I know what to ask for! Welcome back!
This is my first time seeing a Gina video. The second she started using 2 wood spoons, I was hooked and therefore subscribed. She adds love and spirit and beautiful music to her cooking. ❤
Bought your book as soon as you told me what you did! Your’s is the only cookbook I’ve bought in decades! Love Nonna! Grazie!
I love you nonna Gina! You remind me of my grandma. She loved to cook and we had 15 people over every weekend. She would cook everything from scratch just like you do!
May the Lord bless you and keep you , may His face shine upon you, and give you PEACE.
Beautiful sweet lady. A good woman!
Beautiful! 💕🙏🏻
Grandma Gina! I just received a copy of your cookbook. It has brought me great joy! You are so full of light and love and strength! You are an inspiration to all of us. The last recipe in the book, roasted chickpeas looks very interesting. I’m going to make that one first! Thank you for bringing the joy of cooking into my life. The purpose of your cookbook states that we supporters bring joy to you, but it’s a two-way street! Thank you, thank you, thank you! By the way, the photos in the back are so sweet! You are so beautiful!!
We call her Grandma Gina in our household. She's somewhat of a celebrity with us. Reminds me so much of my grandma. We love the videos and look forward to every new one. My wife and I would really like to know when we can stop by for dinner?! 🙂 Sincerely, The Federico's
She reminds me of my grandma Victa, Victoria. She was from Mexico.
I’m almost as old as her so I can’t call her grandma😁
Okay if you going, Im going with you❤🙌
meet and greet
How beautiful! And most importantly, no empty chatter. Bravo, master!
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.
Just ordered me and a friend the cook book. I love the simple home cooking.
This Bolognese saus is absolutly the original sauce from Bologna.. This is the perfect way of making it.. So much respect!! Love you Nona ;)
No. She made a tomato sauce. Bolognese is a meat sauce.
@@donpettitwedestroyedtheapo6488 nope you're wrong.. I lived in Bologna. At the end Always a small cup of milk
@@shaqqy123 well im glad you didnt make it
@@teamcompurepo2251 no he's right this is southern style
@@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.
Grandma Gina you are the sweetest lady! You remind me so much of my Mama! She like you always loved cooking and especially for her children and grandchildren. You cook like my mother and sing in the kitchen. I always feel like I am right there with you. Your Bolognese sauce looked so wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to make this beautiful video!
I love you! God Bless you.
Roseanne xx
Growing up in the Italian part of the City of St. Louis, famously known as the "Hill"... (or Dog town)...
The one thing you learn is that sauce or gravy is started in the morning and cooked all day....
And by all means DON'T TOUCH THE PAN!!!! or you will get wacked with a wooden spoon across your knuckles!😅 Love you Grandma ❤️
I am so proud of you Gina. I miss you and miss your recipes and today I am so happy to see you back and stronger. You prove to us that there is no limit for creativity and age is just a number, when you can be successful at any age. You are an amazing inspiration for all of us 😊😊
I am glad I found nonna Gina this is the cutest lady ever.
I just love Grandma Gina. She reminds me of my grandmother. She is the Bob Ross of cooking. I’m from New York and it just touches my heart. So original and real..❤God bless you. May his angles watch over you
Who would give a thumbs down on Nona? We love you Grandma Gina! You are an inspiration and such a pleasure to watch❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹
now I can start living again. welcome back, sure missed you.
OMG GINA HELLO thanks for sharing your recipes with us ❤️
I just love Nonna Gina, she brings back so many memories for me in my family. Buona Fortuna Signora Gina
We ordered your cookbook and I'm so excited! Your pasta e fagioli, chicken parm, wedding soup, and steak alla pizzaiola are staples for us now. I even tried your tiramisu at Christmas and it was a win with my Italian-Canadian family! You make our kitchen a better place! :)
May God bless your beautiful heart nonna gina.. 🙏
Welcome back as we all missed you so much, I cant wait to try to get my hands on a copy of your book..
❤❤❤ Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Reading these comments here, it makes me HAPPY, that she gets so much LOVE from all over the world!
She is a GIFT 💋💋💋to every cooking human!
she has such a simple cooking outlook ... makes ramsay's kitchen nightmare a joke .... she does things right from the start instead of using cooks
Gramma Gina this sauce was soooo delicious… made this for company and they raved about it! Thank you for taking time to teach us the old country ways of Italian cooking and your singing is a blessing ❤️
I already added one comment yesterday but I literally went to Amazon yesterday morning and ordered her book. It came early this afternoon and I’m making one of her recipes thinking of her and her beautiful singing next to me
Just ordered your book Gina. I’m an Anglo who grew up in an Italian neighbourhood in Toronto. You bring back suck wonderful memories of being in my friends kitchens while their mommas and nonnas cooked. Grazie
Pleased proofread.
My wife's family is Croatian and their matriarch was always called "Mamma" So if Mamma Gina wants to cook the way she wants, then she cooks the way she wants. That's family.
I love her! This is how I grew up in my Italian family! Gina even sounds like my Nonna! This brings back memories for me! Food! Food ! Food!❤
I am so glad you're back! I am also thrilled that you have made a cookbook! I just ordered it. I have made two of your recipes; the sausage and peppers and manicotti, with the latter being our absolute favorite. I make it regularly! You are a breathe of fresh air and I am relieved to have that back once again. My babies will be excited to see this video too as they love watching you with me. Ti amo Nonna Gina! ❤️😘
Gina, Your Cookbook arrived this morning....so excited. I have is displayed in my kitchen, with that darling face of yours..God Bless you.
This is so great! Gina!!!! We love you!
Also, I just made a bolognese sauce yesterday…now I can learn to do it right!
Grandma Gina is so precious! I love to hear her Italian accent. I love you Grandma Gina!❤
I was thrilled to see another video. I was so worried about you… our favorite Grandma…GINA!!!! Love you so much. I yelled Gina has a book out! We ordered it immediately. I’m so happy for you, Gina. I hope you sell a million books. You are such a blessing and We watch every video you put out. You bring so much joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
That is so special Gina. What a blessing you are and to share your recipes with all of us is precious and wonderful. You bring back memories of my childhood and you remind me of my grandma who I lost when I was only 8 years old. Thank you for letting me remember a time i had one of the greatest blessing on earth, my grandma Sarah. I am going to buy the book. ❤️🙏
I agree! I feel like we were just brought into her family and received her precious family recipes. 🥰
I'm so over-joyed to see nonna Gina back again, and making Bolagnese sauce.
I'm Italian as well and enjoy cooking and will try this recipe! God bless you all! 🙏
What can I do to be more faithful to Italian cooking? I love Italian food but I can't help but feel many of the recipes I use are too Americanized.
@@Vendzor Use recipes that are from Italy. My mother grew up in Italy and I can say there can be a huge difference between real Italian food and what is passed off as Italian-American food. This Bolognese recipe is exactly how it is made in Italy.
@@markantony3875 What are some of the main differences?
@@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.
@@markantony3875 Most of my grocery stores have the usual crap, but there's one place that has imported Italian goods. I have a pack of imported rigatoni I plan to use in a pasta bake. Are pasta bakes a common Italian dish or is that more of an American thing?
Whenever I want an AUTHENTIC Italian recipe, I check for something from Nonna Gina! God bless you Nonna!
