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!

These cooking and baking traditions are so important to keep alive from generation to generation. Grazie mille, Gina.

Dear Gina, I'm a Turkish guy who lives in Germany. I've been watching your videos for so long, and I just wanted to express my gratitude for the feeling you give while you're making your amazing Italian food. The way you explain the recipes, the way you find your way around the kitchen, and the softness of your voice (especially when you sing your Italian folk music) reminds me so much of my own grandma, who is no longer with us. She was the reason I'm obsessed with cooking so thank you for making me feel like I'm watching her again. We have a special and exclusive way of expressing our respect to the elders in Turkey, and it's by kissing the hand (pretty much like one would kiss a Capo's hand) and then touch the hand on our forehead. It's the ultimate way of showing respect and humility. Please accept my virtual hand kisses, and share more of your amazing recipes. I can tell that you have a very loving family, because the apple does not fall far from the tree, and I wish you a long and happy life with them. Grazie mille e cordiali saluti!
