Italian Grandma Makes Lentil Soup

[@Buttercup-vw2zo]

Can we agree that this little Italian Grandma is absolutely precious??

[@laurab.8607]

She reminds me of when I grew up in Brooklyn ny many many years ago with all the Italian ladies on the block including my grandma and great grandma. every sunday there were 5 italian ladies in my moms kitchen with same accent and all the food to match ! unfortunately now that they have all passed i can only only remember a few recipies. God bless this lady.

I don't get it either, they could just close the video, people are just purely rude, no respect for anyone

My mother so much like her. I lost her in 2013. Cooked so much alike. Watching Gina brings me back to her so I can be close to her. Have no idea what it means to me.!!!;thank you momma Gina!!! Never got to meet my grandparents that came from palermo Italy to Brooklyn in 1903.

The singing is actually a very important part. It helps fuse the flavours together. When a meal is cooked with love, it always tastes better. And this is why

[@desmondfarrell7249]

How could you not love this woman for the joy and pleasure she brings to us thru her recipes and singing. I adore her.

[@mrs.robichaud8823]

I think Gina said something rather profound in its simplicity. She said she"feels they (her family) love me. So I cook and make everybody happy" Its a beautiful cycle of love and makes a world of difference. May we all become more like Gina.

This is the most redeeming channel on KZbin. I actually cry every time I watch each one of her videos.

[@lifelessons7673]

Me too!!!!!!

[@normacondon5913]

I feel she has saved me living on my own old age like lot ppl I started buying Italian frozen dinners expensive but good but now I have heart to cook properly again & fill freezer with what make yourself like Gina I'm losing fat weight & feeling energetic again. But I notice family dropping in for meals more often ha. The secret of your children & grandchildren wanting to visit vibrant& happy nonna. I love her singing. When you sing from the heart anyone can be great singer. But I also love that Gina Nona is blessing her food reminding everyone to give thanks we have food to eat & who is providing it. The greatest recipe for me so far is making enough bread & rolls to last week. I used do this too. When you stop your arms turn to what my grandson called "upside down muscles" ugly. Love you Gina you are a gift from God & I'm sure Mother Mary inspired you to help us through the pandemic. You have no idea how your happy face carries us through the day.

[@lisajukes7645]

It’s so sweet she has her own channel. Well done for the support from her family, I’m half Italian and I love cooking with my Nona God rest her soul!

OMG, this woman is my grandmother's doppelganger! Her accent, her gestures and her immaculate kitchen...it's like being back in my grandmother's kitchen. Lovely memories, lovely women.

[@patriciasullivan6787]

This mama is so precious I love to watch her cook❤️😊

[@Jewriffic]

I grew up in a large Sicilian family who over time immigrated to the USA. We all lived in general proximity to each other. And the kitchen was the hub for everything. I could tell who came over the ocean when they were young and who came over later in life. all by their English accent. Nana Gina's accent is a spice you can not find in any store. If you were blessed, you grew up hearing it - usually from the Kitchen. It is the spice that makes the dish perfect. Grazie Nana Gina.

I'm old enough to be her daughter so I call her Mama Gina. She's a lovely lady. I wish her family would make a youtube video of all her songs just so we could listen to her while we relax and eat her recipes or while we cook them or just when we feel like some pretty Italian songs. I love to say along with her in my best Italian accent she has taught me...somebody like, they put , somebody no like, they don't put. She is a gem.I love her. I would love to sit and listen to her tell old stories of when she was growing up and raising her children. I used to ask my grandma and her friends for their old stories I had heard many times but I never grew tired of them.

[@upstarsgirl9437]

I am almost 80 years old. We grew our own food, raised chickens, all in the city. We canned and dried out produce and meat, even the fish my grandfather and uncles caught. We always had a six month supply by preparing on a regular basis, including medical supplies. Sharing with those who needed help from time to time. I have continued this practice up to the present and taught my children and grandchildren to do the same. We are not panicking because we have been prepared. Reconsider this practice everyone when things begin to normalize. Prayers for our brother man. 💗
