I'm a Puertorican woman who has fallen in love with you. I grew up in the Bronx and you remind me of our next door neighbor Doris who would cook the most fabulous Italian dishes. I loved when she invited us for dinner. You are such a blessing to your family and to us your subscribers. God bless you always with good health and long life. You bring so much joy when you sing. Never stop singing. Love you.

Hey Puerto Rico girls right there with you, Nona Gina is the singing kitchen star. May she always be healthy with high spirits and a song on her lips.ona Gina, please talk to us while ou are cooking!here is just one problem, for all of your fans I believe.even ollowing your recedes step by step, occasionally is not enough. One also needs the right ingredients, mainly meat! This is my biggest problem, getting the right cuts of meat! The best cuts are ridiculously overpriced!m living in beautiful Athens.cio to one and all!

When I was a little girl my nonna used to make steak pizzaiola using inexpensive steak (like chuck) & browning in pan before cooking low & slow in oven. I remember my favorite part was using the Italian bread to soak up the sauce - I didn't care if I had any steak, as long as I had bread & sauce. ;) p.s. I love your recipes & tonight I'm making your zucchini soup again (my family loves it!)
