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 does she make such large portions?
When she was in Italy, she would cook and bake in such large quantities so she wouldn’t have to take time every day to make food, and instead be able to work on the farm. Many of her recipes can be cut in half or quartered if you choose to try them out!
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! - Jak na to + styl
I am a school cookery teacher in the UK and I am going to make this with my class when we go back to school.
I love how she tucked the dough in on the couch to keep it warm like it were a person she was keeping warm. She is soooooo lovely
Just like my MIL she puts towels and blankets on everything.
Im glad she doesnt have any cats ! 😊💁
Right? I thought the same thing when she was tucking the dough.....Just like my mom used to tuck me in...Seriously...with so much love...
@@norasanchez3268 she's very clean! Love her!
Yes, Gina is an extraordinary woman. Everybody must love her. She worked/works already quite a lot.
My mother just passed away and my grandmother also did in 1989 ... I miss them terribly and I am comforted by Gina. Thank you Gina. I pray for you and your family.
I love how you (son in law film-er and editor!) leave plenty of time and don't cut fast when Gina is mixing, kneading or whatever she is doing, you show a good bit before cutting to the next stage. She seems a lovely woman and you're all very lucky to have her, as I'm sure you all know!
I will surely try this! Bella e brava nonna Gina! Evviva i nostri vicini gli italiani xxxx.sono da Malta..
❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️🙏
For anyone who never had a parent or grandparent who actually did home cooking, this is what is meant when someone says, "cooked/baked with love". Love truly is THE secret ingredient that makes these recipes taste so good.
elstongunn Amen, I agree
❤
I second that emotion
I will
🌷🌷😘😘
A wonderful happy grandma.Kids are lucky! Must tell grandma ever day You love her😇
Thank you for all you do!! We all appreciate you so much . This is an honor to watch you.... truly.
I love how she puts her dough to bed all cozy! Love her!
Like she is tucking her grandbabies in bed.
I love Grandma Gina! She brings me back in time to the 1950'2 and 60's, when I was growing up in a Jewish & Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. The ladies all understood each other, and shared recipes. Some, like my grandmother, did not read or write, so the recipes were all in their memories. Measurements were in "glass fulls" instead of measuring cups. Big spoon and small spoon were measured in table utensils. No one had special equipment. And the best part was when their recipes crossed over. God bless you Gina, and the wonderful memories you are passing down.
Carlton is a suburb in Melbourne. After the second world war the Jews and Italians moved to Carlton. After a while the Jews moved to the Caulfied (another suburb in Melbourne). If you ask (most) Jews and Italians which footy team they barrack (don't say rooting as it means something rude in Australia) for Carlton.
Grandma Gina! You are a fantastic teacher . I have been following your recipe since the lock down . My son loved your cooking. Since than i have been cooking for everyone in my family.i am sure my grand children eill love ghis cinnamon cake . You are an amazing baker too. Gracia , love you ! ❤❣
I also grew up in Brooklyn. ,NY
Very similar memories but my family was up in Pleasantville.. Some of our family was in Manhattan.. The rest of us In Los Angeles.. I grew up learning to cook at my grandmother's hip.. She taught me so much.. But because my parents were older my grandma was even older than that and passed when i was around 21. I learned so much from her and that's why I'm drawn to Gina... She reminds me of All of the ladies in Pleasantville, My grandmother lived next door to her sister-in-law.. They used to pass ingredients and messages on the clothes-line from house-to-house..true!. I'll always remember that..
It's beyond my comprehension how anyone could thumbs down this beautifully made cinnamon cake MADE WITH LOVE !! 💖
✔ I can't wait to try it.
THANKYOU!
ps. " You're a beautiful lady !! "
God Bless You.
I know, right?! It's gotta be other Italian Grandma's who want you to like their version of cinnamon cake 😆
Haters gonna hate while they secretly steal her recipes!
Probably because in the U.S this is called monkey bread.. it’s obviously not cake using our traditional us of the word. But u can buy this anywhere. It just tastes better when it’s homemade. But ppl are stupid they will give it a thumbs down only because it’s called monkey bread here in the states, which is ridiculous!
I choose to think the 👎 was hit by mistake. 🙂
I don't know why, but I love watching Gina. I find these so comforting and calming in these scary times
Me too. Comforting, it is a good way to describe her and these videos...oh and fattening. But hey, I am 60 and had a blessed life and I will survive! How else can I be sure to make and consume every item on her video.
Stay healthy and love one another (from 6 feet away!)
Very nice from you
Amen so true. It’s so soothing watching her. I can feel the love in her kitchen when she cooks especially when she sings. She’s a joy and my favorite on CZcams.
I agree. Gina enjoying yourself cooking for her family and all of us.
watching Gina is
relaxing and comforting
Shes the highlight
of my day every day. God bless Gina
AMEN
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Oh my goodness! I WISH she was my MOM! I have been watching her videos since being in lock.down during this virus outbreak. I have learned so much from " Mama". God bless this sweet, dear woman! Nina is a work of art in the flesh! Thank you to the person behind the camera. You are capturing history, AMEN
You are an inspiration sharing your knowledge with future generations. I pray that when I'm at your age that I am as active and willing to teach my grandchildren as you are doing. What an amazing lady.
Me too
and what a wonderful comment I am agreed with you 🌹🌷
I agree with the comment. I love to watch her videos. Such a lovely lady and good recepy
missy t ❤️👍🏻
This is the first time in all my years of watching videos that i have ever made a comment. I adore watching Gina's videos. She's so authentic. No prententions. No fancy equipment, just her in a kitchen just like mine. You feel like you're sitting across the counter from her learning the family recipe. I really like that videos are in real time so you can actually make the recipe along with her.
Makes you want to sit and share a cup of coffee and listen to her life stories!
Her channel, to me is, not like watching videos , it is like having a visit.
We call this monkey bread
💯💯💯💯
Love you grandma ❤️
From Palestine ✌️
You're a life savor! I married an Italian and I'm as southern as they come and have been praying to find one who can teach me how to cook Italian foods! I love love love this channel! You're a beautiful soul inside and out! Thank you for sharing with us all, things you were taught and have learned along the way! You've made a huge difference in my life and I'm sure so many others! It's priceless for others to teach others as they were taught! I live my life to do that and to see you do the same it means the world! God bless you! I plan to watch every single video you have placed up! Big hug and thank you again!
Beautiful sweet, kind, loving Grandma. Cooking with all of the love from her beautiful heart and soul. May God Bless you, keep you healthy, full of JOY!!!
My son is a Chef in St. Louis, Missouri. I'm going to show him your video. He loves to learn from the BEST! You make this cinnamon cake the BEST!
I love how she 'tucks in' all her dough. Nice and snug and warm. KEEP WARM KEEP WARM
I think this is what people mean when they say that the secret ingredient is love.
if you do what you love, you'll never 'work' a day in your life!
exactly
so cozy
Me too! I found an old blanket that I made for my kids, washed it and created a "bed" on my couch to tuck my bread in too...only to come back and find my dog thought it was for him! So I had to find more kitchen towels and tuck it in on the table top! Lol. Our house was on the cooler side that day, so I was thinking, "Yay, I get to be like Gina and tuck it in!"
When she said everyone can take a piece I reached in but realized a screen was in my way 🥺
😂 I know exactly what you mean!
@@marieintranuovo607 me too!
Yeah, and here I sit with my cup of tea, but NO CINNAMON CAKE!😣
Yes!!!😂🤣😂
I love you Gina, you are absolutly adorable. I think I watched every single one of your videos, multiple times! You remind me of my grandmother who I loved very much, very often I get tears in my eyes, there must be something wrong with me. I found it hilarious when you said the big children like it too :) I am a 39 year old male from Hungary, I will make one of your delicious recipes for my mom and dad, I like to cook.
Everyday that I have a bad day I watch Gina and my day seems to brighten such a sweet lady 😇 yummy
Marie Blackmore ❤️❤️👍🏻
Yes you right she’s so nice and sweet I love 💕 her recipes , her family is very lucky to have such a good grandmother
xhuliana papvangjeli is she your grandma ?
No my dear Is not but really like her 💕
Parla tn italiano!!!!
More Italian Grandma videos please!! 🇮🇹😊👨🍳your channel is great. Good to mix Italian and English in your instructions.
Great as usual.
God bless you
Si lovely voice and you get directly into our heart .
Thousand of Thanks
She has a song in her 💓. So much love to do all that for her grandchildren...and such a clean kitchen!💃
♥️🔝🔝🔝♥️
When I was a girl, we had Italian neighbors. The husband was an executive chef, and the wife was a very good cook in her own right. They both taught me how to cook. Gina sounds so much like them!
Their names are Renato and Mina, and they still live in the old house. I am in touch with their daughter, Nadia, so I get their news.

Che fortuna di avere una nonna e mamma come te Gina...Bello sentirti parlare italiano...la lingua materna non si perde mai
I love her. I need her in my family.❤️
I love you so much Gina. God bless you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ana Bergua Vilalta We all need a Gina in our family! ❤️
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. This woman is a treasure.
I love her saying “ punch down bit”. Before putting pan. What a delight she is. Thank you my Dear!
I am like so many here...you watch Gina and your whole day is better. She is an inspiration to all.
thank you so much. I haven't heard that accent in 40 years...sounds "exactly" like my grandma Filament (Fanny) who was born in Naples. I love this woman, I feel close to her because she sounds like my grandma who I miss so much.
Love hearing her explain things, brings me right back to my own grandma from Sicily. She spoke broken english and always lapsed into Italian which as a kid I learned to understand perfectly. Miss her a lot! :)
We left my grandmother's house when I was 3. I cried like my life was ending. I never got to see her again. When I watch you, I think of how much I wish I could have grown up with her. You are so wonderful, que bella nonna.
I feel your pain in your words even today, God bless you, hon.
@@cjunqween3968 You are so kind, thank you!
This woman has a heart filled with love. Thank you for sharing.
What a labour of love. So much work for her family. No instant cake mix in her kichen.
One of the best and hard working grandmas I’ve ever seen! Remain blessed!🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love watching Gina, I love her stories and I love her recipes. Great woman to share all of this with us.
I love my mixing machine for cookies, cakes, breads...everything. If I had to do it by hand...I would. Thank goodness I don't have to do it that much. "Old School" is charming and nice to watch. I adore Gina and her videos. I am amazed at how healthy and energetic she is at her age. She and her family are very blessed. My mom is 85 with dementia...so no more cooking or baking with love. Just memories. Go, Gina!
Dear Italian Grandma, I enjoy your videos very much and thank you for the time that you take to teach us the delicious recipes you make. I love the stories you tell us about your family as you are baking. I think you are amazing teaching us on the internet.
Great tip about wetting your fingers with melted butter or oil when dealing with sticky dough; I always used flour on my fingers to prevent sticking. This is better! Thanks, grandmother Gina.
Grandma... the world is falling into darkness and you have given us the very best, brightest sunshine with this amazing recipe... I wish you and your family joy and happiness and who knows, maybe my son will be giving the recipe to his children in years to come... thank you so much!
Grandma Gina -- We LOVE hearing you speak Italian! You are a treasure.
Gramma looks so beautiful in that turquoise color!! These videos make me feel right at home....like I'm in the kitchen with my Italian grandmother.
Thank you, Gina. I am making this for my children today! They will be so happy! :)
The cinnamon cake worked really well, my children are happy. 😊 Thank you so much.
I love how she puts her dough to rise on the couch and covers it up so gently and then she gets so excited when she she how much it has risen…this has got to smell so wonderful 🥮❤️
I hope all you children appreciate the memmory a momma makes as she be herself .
When I watch these videos my heart smiles she reminds me of my Great Baba from Czechoslovakia may God rest her soul. May God bless your grandma and may she have a long life
Nonna Gina, what a breath of fresh air. You take me back to when I'd watch my Grandmother cook and bake. I sure miss her. God bless you! Keep doing what you love..
My husband and I have been watching grandma Gina's video's for a year now, my brother introduced us to your videos, he was looking for homemade bread recipes, and you reminded him of our mother. Now my brother and husband both make breads, cinnamon rolls and pizza now, you are my husbands inspiration, and I make some of your dinner items. We both love to watch your video's, you make everything look so easy, you make us laugh, and we have learned so much.
We love you Gina..🇮🇹💋
It's wonderful to hear the sounds of the crows outside while you are cooking..
I love how things “smelt” and eggs get “smashed!” It’s lovely to watch the various videos from various years and see the progression! The older ones she speaks more Italian! I love it!
What a great woman and Grandma. Thanks for videos; I enjoy them so much!
Ken A צתל.. לפ
