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!

Bella Senora Gina,
How funny that I just started making riso & biso and decided to watch your video channel. I absolutely adore your cooking and your songs. God Bless you always 🙏❤😊
Grazie mille Gina! Pasta e piselli, molto deliziosi! Spero che tu abbia avuto una bella Pasqua. I migliori auguri da Susanna in Melbourne, Australia.

Pasta e Piselli. 😋 2:18 However, the addition of a little Pancetta, along with onion, for a pasta e piselli is almost mandatory. I always make a pasta e piselli here in Italy with onion and some chopped Pancetta. A little Pancetta in the pasta and peas gives extra flavor to the dish.
My mother used to make this. I loved it ❤. Nice memories.🙂🦋
Bendiciones. ❤
Gina I like your singing and I respect you❤

Gina, you need to put your saying on a apron to sell them.
"You got Eat, you got to Cook."
Love it!!!
Thank you for your recipe!!! God Bless you and your Family!!! Happy Easter!!!
I need another cookbook from my Monna ❤
This is great for the days I don't feel like making a big meal. Thanks so much.
Do frozen peas get too mushy cooking with the pasta?
Hi Gina … this is one of my favorite dishes. I use shell pasta, so the peas get trapped in the shells.. I love that ❤
This looks absolutely delicious..
I hope you are well.. Love you Gina ♥️🇮🇹🙏🏻
Glad Nonna’s doing well!
I like her auto pepper grinder
Love Gina! I like to use pasta shells, so the peas rest inside in one bite!!
❤❤❤ my daughters favorite dish ,Gina ❤ your videos love when you sing
Gina I would love to see you make cacio e pepe
Thank you once again Nona. We love you and your songs. Please tell more stories when you were growing up. These stories are so very precious. Love and hugs.💕💕
Gina you look so beautiful! ❤️🙏🏼🤗
pasta and peas are always welcome in my kitchen
Why not cook the pasta separately, please?
