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. Ginaā€™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 doesnā€™t want help! Usually, itā€™s because we will slow her down or not do it ā€œher way.ā€ 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 donā€™t we buy her a new…?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etcā€¦ but she doesnā€™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!

    Loved watching her cook. I probably will not make this recipe because of the added chopped bell pepper in the filling. I will add chopped spinach and mushrooms along with the meat and rice. I would like to watch her again.

    I just found this channel and was going to subscribe, but read in one of the comments, she already passed, so there's no point on doing it, right? There aren't going to be new videos!

    I watched some of this with tears in my eyes. She reminded me a lot of watching my own grandmother in the kitchen during my childhood. She wasn't Italian, but came over on the boat, and loved to sing. (Almost 40 years—but I still miss her).
