Italian Grandma Makes Easter Taralli (Egg Taralli)

[@amybugg001]

Everytime I comment it is about Signora Gina but this time, it is for the family - from the "retired son-in-law" who does the filming to the daughters and grandkids helping with the filming and prepping and tidying up !! Thank you all, each and every one of you for sharing this lovely woman with us - we all adore this lady's charm, her lovely songs and her wonderful recipes !! Kudos to you all but especially to Signora Gina for just being so sweet and friendly with us !! Hugs from Montréal 🇨🇦

[@luannedimaggio2802]

She has a good lesson in her stories that should inspire all of us to make the best of the life you have. I have learned more than cooking, with her.

[@annthrockmorton5594]

She's wonderful. A treasure. So happy someone had the foresight to capture her talent for sharing on KZbin. I'm getting so I understand her without a problem!

[@carydartist4757]

NO no no Nonna Gina is priceless and wonderful for sharing herself and stories etc. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@sherrydee7880]

I remember helping to make this when our family was renting an apartment from an Italian Family & they took me under their wing & included me in all of the festivities. The food was never ending & the fun never stopped for me. I owe my cooking skills & love of gardening to the Ferraro Family of Los Angeles! Thank You, wherever you are! We moved & I never saw them again.

[@gwyn9846]

I'm not sure what I love most about your videos most: the delicious recipes, the wonderful stories, or your beautiful singing! You have such a beautiful spirit which is why you sing. That much beauty has to go somewhere so it's natural it would be reflected by your beautiful singing. ❤ Buona sera, Gina!! 🌙

[@meeksathome]

Gina, your energy is incredible. My goodness! Thank you for giving us your beautiful program. We look forward to each and every episode.

[@frijolsmom]

I love her, so very sweet. Reminds me of my grandmother. I never knew my grandparents, but she reminds me of a perfect grandmother. So very kind, sharing stories, and cooking. Keep sharing because this is very precious and simply beautiful.

[@soopyslovinit]

Besides her obvious cooking skills, she has a way of communicating with the viewer that allows you to learn from her and feel warm and nostalgic at the same time. Bravissima, Signora!

My nonna was the same, and I miss her sooo much. Everything I am today is because of beautiful souls like my nonna and nonna’s like you Gina! Keep singing Gina, I wish I could hug you...

[@CFLRose]

Nonna Gina, I just made these this morning. They are soooo good! My great-grandmother used to make these especially for me because I loved them so much. I haven't had one in almost 40 years. Making (and eating!) them made me so happy! Thank you so much, and God bless you.

[@annemarieditirrofinch2095]

I really enjoy your videos. I love hearing you talk, it reminds me of many members of my family who are no longer with us. Many of your recipes are like the ones my mom, aunts and dad used to make. I wish I would have video taped my mom when she was cooking. Your videos will be a treasure for your family and are a treasure for mine.

[@judykaczor9268]

I love watching and people don’t realize the warmth of your hands play a big part of the success in making all types of dough it never comes out the same when using my dough hook!😊

[@suzanneburns6130]

Hello Gina! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us. I could watch you all day. And trust me, I have. It is so important to keep traditions alive by sharing our knowledge with future generations.

Oh Signora Gina, I have looking for this Tarralli recipe for 13 years. You make them just like my mother who passed away. My brother and nieces will be sooooo happy this Easter. Thanks to you Cara. I hope mine will turn out as good as yours. Thank you from Canada.

[@hudamebar4482]

Thanks for sharing the precious experience of beautiful Gina. My love and respect from Syria.

[@katchcollectables9195]

This makes me remember my Friday nights with my mum. We would make taralli and biscotti to last for the week whilst dad went to play cards. I would eat the taralli once they were boiled until I had a stomach ache. I miss those days.

[@ang8817]

Thank you for sharing the family picture at the end. Alla famiglia! :-)

[@maryvariola]

I wish u were my grandma. Ur children are so blessed. I love to hear ur stories and singing. Thank you for all this. Bless u Gina.

[@katherinedunford8623]

I love when she tucks in the dough,it’s as though she is tucking in a baby,so much tenderness,in every recipe for dough.

[@oneitalia2312]

♡♡♡ I love you, Gina ♡♡♡ You made my eyes tear up too, when you were mixing your beautiful Taralli dough....talking about your Mother, your Grandmother..... (I can barely type this, my tears fall for you and the love you show).....God has blessed you because of the love you show...you treat people like Jesus treated people, that's all he asks of us, "Do unto others..." And you do. It shows. That's why you're happy, that's why you sing, your heart shows your happiness, that's why I love you. I want to be like you but when I bake and cook (at my job) no one says "thank you" - no one commented on the Cuccidati (St. Joseph's cookies) I made for them. I get hurt, I leave there crying....I work so hard to prepare nice meals and wonderful baked goods for them but they don't appreciate it. Do your hands and fingers ache? Do they keep you up at night from so much work? Kneading that dough we do has killed my hands. God bless my hard working Italian friend, Gina - my grandma Filomena's twin sister! Lighting the big blue candle for you in the Monastery. You're adored! ♡♡♡ I love you ♡♡♡

[@BuonAPetitti]

I will pray for your good health and for those around you to show you some kindness and love. God Bless!

[@jeanneharrington4606]

Brava nonna Gina...BUONA PASQUA anche a te, Donna meravigliosa!!!!

[@citygirlro]

thank you for sharing your recipes and process. You make many of the same recipes as my mother and grandmother, but you make it look much easier than they did when they were trying to teach us. Your vids inspire many people to try to make favorites--without the fear of messing them up. You are a great teacher!

[@normajimenez1477]

Ms. Gina, I really enjoy watching your show. I am not of Italian decent but of Mexican decent. My grandmother was from Mexico and she would often tell me stories of when she was growing up while she was cooking and making her home made tortillas. You bring me so much joy and happiness when I hear you singing. My grandma would also sing like you but in spanish. Please keep on being as lovely and beautiful as you are. Thank you for just being you. Love from me and all my family.

I just love this women! It’s kind of like having my mom again ❤❤❤

Thank you Mrs.Gina so very much.

[@joedefranco3504]

Nonna Gina Petitti. We live in Cleveland Ohio where resides a very large Italian community including from Faeto. My wife told me to write letting you know how much she enjoys your presentations. Even though she is a great cook herself, she enjoys to learn more and we all appreciate your songs especially the original religious. How beautiful is starting your work with the sign of Cross!! My wife enjoyed very much la canzone della ginestra, instead I liked what you sang in the episode: Stuffed Peppers. It' all good! Thanks to the person who had the splendid idea in recording these wonderful episodes. You are an entertainer as well. Dio ti benedica. Angelina & Joe DeFranco

[@BuonAPetitti]

Angelina and Joe, I am so happy to hear you enjoy the videos. I have received comments and letters from many members of the Cleveland community. Many had grandparents and great grandparents who were born in Faeto. God Bless you both and stay safe.

[@jacquelineraines2074]

I've never sen anything made like this! Fascinating! To give you a grin, my ederly cat sits on my lap and when you sing, her eyes close and she smiles. So do I.

[@anthonygiacomazzo7056]

Signora, my mother is 81 years old and she hasn't eaten taralli since her grandmother made them when she was a little girl. I made them for this mother's day. She was so happy, she thought she wouldn't eat them again in her life. You made this mothers day special. Thank you and god bless you from the Giacomazzo family.

Your in GREAT shape, how many women your age can sing and knead dough and not get short winded. My mother also used to bless her cookies when she baked. We used to make individual easter cookie dough wrapped around died Easter eggs, some were shaped like birds or little baskets .my mom was siciliano and I’m the only one fo three girls who learned all the Sicilian cookie and pastries and I have thought my sons these traditional recipes. TFS, LOVE your stories
