FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. It is in the province of Foggia in the Puglia region of southeast 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 enjoys making food for her family in the same old fashion ways as she was taught by her mother and grandmother in Italy, and also new things she has subsequently learned from family and friends in America. She also enjoys 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 and behind the scenes?
Grandma Gina’s retired son-in-law, Nick, does the filming, editing, production, and channel management. Her daughter, Maria, helps with food preparation, kitchen setup and fan support. Also, Grandma Gina usually has one or two grand-kids in the kitchen to help.
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!

Grandma Gina, You and my 83 year old Chaldean mother are made of Iron. You both can be good friends :) My mother loves cooking, gardening, traveling and reading her bible. She never wastes food. Even her veggie scraps go to the neighbor's chickens. She loves to feed her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, the neighbors and anyone that comes around. She's just unstoppable!!!!! God bless you and all the women who take care of their families and sacrifice so much for their families. We're beyond blessed to have mothers like you and my mother :)

As an immigrant to America like Australia the Italians worked hard in factories to pay their mortgages and create a good life for their children and grandchildren. Gina it’s wonderful to see how proud you are of what you have created and above all your faith is amazing.

I was just going to write the same thing. I almost teared up listening to her and watching her as she reminds me so much of my mom, too. My mom was an avid gardener, as well. Mille grazie, Gina! Dio ti benedica!

[@VandaPietrantonio]

​@evae.9270 All ITALIAN grandmother's are special ; they all go to a special grandmother school.

[@theeyesehaveit]

[@DrKayjin]

I lost my nonna 15 years ago. I love every one of these videos because it lets me feel just a little bit of the love she brought into life. Nonna Gina is wonderful, bless her.

[@MrsV03]

We called my Grandma Nanny but she was a Nonna just like Gina. I use to bake with her and make pasta ect. I lost her when I was only 12 yrs old. I am now teaching her daughter, my Aunt how to can her own Italian marinara this week. I miss her so much. Gina brings that warmth back into my heart. 💓

[@jimmiemabe6512]

What a wonderful idea of having a garden around your home. it just proves you don't have to have a lot of land to provide good food for your family. God Bless you Ms. Gina.

[@mine1685]

I would "have a garden around my home" too IF ONLY I had the money for it.

[@CC-wy5vw]

Save the seeds from vegetables you eat (ripe tomatoes, pumpkin) and start your seedlings inside. I buy vegetable seed packets at the dollar store. A garden takes work and time, not necessarily a lot of money.

[@camizahn265]

Touring Gina's garden is exactly what I needed right now....thank you Gina! You are a blessing to us all! ❤

All of it, but especially the fig trees remind me of my grandma who passed in 2005 at age 98, still a gardener and hard worker! She too had the garden around her house- in Tucson AZ! Her & grandpa worked hard for decades enriching the soil around the house with vegetable trimmings, coffee grinds and ground up egg shells. beautiful garden like yours, to include artichokes, eggplants and peppers. I love Gina like she's my own grandma♥ God Bless You Always!

Hi Grandma Gina! I loved seeing your garden tour and I love every one of your cooking videos--they hold a very special place in my heart. My dad was born in Italy and came to America when he was a young man. He LOVED to garden and cook as well. He passed away when I was 3.5 years old (I'm 40 now) and I continue to try and keep his memory alive with my garden and learning all the Italian cooking I can. Every video you create makes me feel closer to my dad and my heritage. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. So much love to you! 💜
