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!

Reminds me when I was in Scala (on the amalfi) coast) watching my aunties and cousins cooking. I was 16 at the time now 82. In those days they couldn’t afford shoes but always served up the best food in the world from all their home grown ingredients. I am mesmerized by Gina, could watch her all day. I told my children and grandchildren, if you want to learn to cook Italian you couldn’t get a better teacher than Ginaxx

Grandma Gina reminds me of my husbands nanny Lucy. She was a great women from Florence Italy who more or less raised my husband. When I married John, Lucy came from New York to West Virginia to lived with us for two weeks to teach me out to cook like her. her words to me was “You don’t feed My Johnnie from a can” and she meant it. I love to watch Grandma Gina cook. Brings back very happy memories for me and my husband. Thank you.

I know recording, editing and putting all the details in before posting them is a lot of work. So BIG THANK YOU to him and anyone else that may have a hand in on it. My Aunt Mary use to make these and we use to say they were so light that they floated in the air. LOL! Much love and many blessing to you and your family. ❤️

Thank you Mama Gina, for your loving recipes, songs & history! Your a Proverbs 31:10-31 women indeed!

[@conniegant7781]

😍 Thank you ! God Bless. I love that you added Ginas story in the description. I was reading the comments one day on one of her videos and the people were really being rude to her daughter for not jumping in and helping her, I thought to myself well I don’t like anyone trying to help me cook because they wouldn’t do it the same way that I would and would just frustrate me lol I’m glad I’m not the only one. Love and God Bless you all. It shows how much you all love her and she you.

Carissima Gina, grazie for this wonderful recipe. At this moment I am very sad because I live in England and I have been contacted by my airline saying I can’t fly home next week to celebrate San Giuseppe ( Father’s Day in Italy) with my family because of the complete lockdown for the Covid-19. My parents are 80 years old and it’s our tradition I go over to celebrate together!!!!!!! I decided to have a video call with them and I will attempt to make Zeppole and celebrated together this way, hopefully they are good as yours!!!!!!!! Bacioni grandissimi e grazie per le tue ricette 🤗🤗🤗

[@BuonAPetitti]

Best to stay safe today so that you can celebrate many more days with the family later. May God watch over you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Where about do you live? I'm Sicilian, but I live in the province of Alessandria. If you were here, you would not be allowed to go see your grandparents anyway

Is KZbin psychic? My BF brought over St. Joseph Zeppoles last night for desert, and I thought I have to learn how to make these. I open up KZbin and this video was recommended! I can't wait to try this!

[@lrische62]

Those look Delicious! I made those the first time when I was 15 years old at 3am in the morning . I had a sweet tooth!.... I opened up a cook book and looked for a recipe that I knew I had all the ingredients for. My parents were shocked when they woke up in the morning to see what I had made while they were sleeping. Another name for these is cream puffs. Thanks Gina! You are amazing!

[@shirleyeddy4382]

Not cream puff's, no ganache on top! Yes it is, Choux Pastry, orange zest

[@kellyhiggins4234]
