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!

Zia Gina come mai burro e non strutto? Forse in America non è facile trovarlo? Comunque complimenti ti seguo sempre ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful show and just in time for the St. Joseph Altar. Did you renovate your kitchen; it looks so new.
Finally a new video😊❤
Grazie nonna Gina!Dio vi benedica . Guardo sempre con tanto piacere le meraviglie che nascono nella sua cucina ! Da Chicago e dal Italia con amore ❤
Amazing Nonna many thanks bless to your family
Love you grandma Gina, thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes ❤ 😊
My mom made those cookies when I was a kid. Brings back such fond memories. Now I’m going to have to make some too.
You remind me of my mom so much…that’s exactly how she cooked. We had the best food and the best meals all the time. Nothing like having a true Italian mom straight from Italy. I tried to cook her meals when I can but they never turn out exactly like hers. I miss her so much.❤
❤❤❤❤
Grazie nonna Gina, I must try this recipe. all the best from the Polish family living in England,
Do you ever, can you make and freeze the cookies for a later date?
Good to see you again Gina!
I make these cookies at Christmas. I make mine into rings.
James 5:16 "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." Thank you for praying for this crazy mixed-up world. And, I can imagine a nice cup of black coffee with your cookies. Crunchy, a touch of lemon. Thank you for this recipe, too! Much love to you.

These cookies bring back wonderful memories. Thank you Nona Gina!
Nani Gina! I love you. I also pray the Rosary daily for the world and mostly for the Sister Servants of Mary. They are Catholic religious and are nurses. They care for the sick and dying folks at night. I will bake these cookies for them. I truly believe they will love them. God bless you Nani Gina and blessed ever Virgin Mother Mary watch over you always.

On International Women’s Day I can’t imagine watching anyone who is a better example of a strong, caring and loving woman! Thank you Gina! 🌺
I found my Aunt Josephine's recipe (nearly identical to yours) for these cookies and baked some for Christmas–so yummy!! In fact, my husband is already in the kitchen pulling out the ingredients at 7:50 AM!! Going to follow your recipe with vanilla and lemon rind Can't wait to eat with coffee tomorrow morning🤞☕
Gina, when I see you have a new video, it makes my day, thank you for being such an inspiration to your many fans! God bless you.
Good job god bless you my dear🙏🙏
We ❤ U Nona Gina!! Watching your videos fills our hearts with joy. Such a simple concept, sharing love and prayers over cookies and coffee. 🥰
P.S. Do you happen to have a recipe for lemoncello cake?
Pretend Cooking with Grandma Gina has become one of My 18 month olds favorite activities. I put the iPad next to her little kitchen set and she just goes to work 😂. I’d love to share a few video clips of it with you guys if your interested.
Anyone know where you can get toasted sesame seeds? I don’t believe I have ever looked for them… I would be very grateful, thanks ❤
Beautiful! Thank you Nonna Gina! ❤🙏🙏🙏
