I just yelled to my husband…”GINA’S BACK”…I was so worried about you!I’m so glad you are well and doing your cooking again. We all missed you!!!!! Love 😅😘🥰
I HAVE TO ADMIT, LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD I WAS WORRIED!! NOW, I AM VERY, VERY RELIEVED!! WHAT A COME BACK, A BOOK AND A GLORIOUS BOLOGNESE--BRAVA TUTTI DI'BRAVA!!! NEXT ORDER, 3 BOOKS--1 FOR ME AND 2 FOR DUI AMICI. GRAZI !!!
This made my heart so happy!!! ❤️❤️❤️. LOVE LOVE LOVE to you Ms. Gina. Definitely ordering the cookbook. So glad you are back, healthy, and willing to teach us more. May God continue to bless this beautiful Grandma.
Devo dirti che ero davvero preoccupato per la tua così lunga assenza… La prossima volta fai dei brevi video per far sapere a tuoi amici che stai bene… Amo la tua cucina (e il tuo inglese con accento italiano 😄) e questa volta hai cucinato la mia vita No .1 ricetta!!! 😀😀😀♥️♥️♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Il tuo super fan greco dalla Polonia/Germania…..
I “stumbled” upon Grandma Gina’s cooking episode (this one: "Italian Grandma Makes Bolognese Sauce") totally by accident. OMG, I am TOTALLY hooked!!! This lady is totally addictive! One just cannot help but smile when you see and hear this ray of sunshine... Her demeanor is totally contagious. Gina is a beam of light, joy, and sincerity during these bleak times. I immediately ordered and recently received her "Cooking With Grandma Gina" opus and will definitely try her recipes. May God bless you and your crew, Grandma Gina, and give us many, MANY more episodes of your talent and sheer joy of life. Gina, could I adopt you as MY grandma, please? 😁
This is the smartest thing ever by her family: to save and memorialize it all now with her blessing it and overseeing it! and SHARING it! because that's how it and she lives on forever and will. GOD Bless her with 100+ more years! I'm envious that I didn't do this with my parents and grandparents no matter how many times they asked me to do it. My regret. This is BEAUTIFUL..
I know I would give anything for this type of technology to have been around before my grandma passed away in 1970, I still miss her and her cooking and spending time with us kids. Holidays was always so special at her house.
4:54 when she said her favorite thing in life is to cook I felt like giving her a hug 🥺 one of my favorite things in life is to cook to! I take cooking very seriously and I rather spend hours cooking than getting take out. It just makes me happy!
No matter how low I may feel, or how difficult my day, watching Gramma Gina cook lifts my spirits like nothing else! PLUS I get help & guidance on how to make amazing Italian food the Old School way . For me, delicious Italian food comforts like a warm hug... and I'm not even Italian! THANK YOU, Gramma Gina & Crew for your hard work. Two thumbs up.
Ive never commented on RUclips before, but I’m breaking that tradition to send you a token of the love and admiration and appreciation that everyone in my household feels for you. Thank you for sharing with us so generously. ❤️
Nonna made me tear up when she sang. I miss my mama and nonna so much. Now I cook and eat alone. Grief is the price we pay for love. God bless you Gina and your family.
Gina, you remind me of my Nonna. When I watch you, I wish she was here. Congratulations on your cookbook. Love your videos, your singing, and your praying. Thank your family for sharing you with us. God bless you. From Pittsburgh, PA.
My husband and I were just saying how we wished my grandmother could have made a cookbook . So happy you are well and thriving. Thank you for writing down your beautiful dishes so we will enjoy your cooking forever.
I've been watching this channel for a while now. I have kinda adopted you as the Italian grandmother i always wished I had. It's so cool that you got your cookbook. I actually had to laugh because I can see how proud of it you must be. Im happy for you.
WHY ARE THERE ANY DISLIKES FOR THIS? Gina doesn't deserve any dislikes!. She is honest, good hearted and lovely (and very talented) . God bless you Gina. xxx
I don’t think the dislikes are about Gina but perhaps the recipe may not be acceptable to everyone. There are different ways of preparing many recipes depending on the regions.
I love this woman. She’s authentically original. Believes in God. Just a truly nice person. God Bless you Gina. I’m Irish American but you can be my honorary Grandma
Yes indeed, I am black- and I remember when I was a kid my parents were in a bad accident and my Italian neighbors, who were friends of the family at church, took care of my brother and I until our parents got better. I remember the songs, and helping in the garden- very great memories they were like our other grandparents :)
Today I searched "authentic Italian food" because that's my favorite kind of food and found her today and instantly fell in love with her. She is so darn precious, I'm sure us trying her recipes and her making them herself, doesn't taste exactly the same because it always needs a mothers/grandmothers touch.
I just discovered her a couple of weeks ago and just love her. She infuses love with every dish she makes, and for me that is the secret ingredient. The love blesses the food and all who eat it are nourished physically, emotionally, and spiritually. A couple of months ago I tried to bake a vegan cake and failed miserably. After watching Grandma Gina I decided to try the focaccia and it came out delicious!!! I ordered some backing supplies so I can do more things like her pizza and other recipes. I make them vegetarian. For the stuffed peppers I will substitute portabella mushrooms since they have a meaty texture. I am a not big fan of the Impossible burger or Beyond Meat because they are so highly processed. Maybe when I am craving that flavor and texture I'll give in. Grandma Gina is a light in a world filled with such sadness, anger, and chaos. I am so blessed to have come across her channel and am grateful for her and her family. God bless them all.
I love to watch you Mama Gina. I also think your cooking is very authentic Italian. We would like to make Pizza & some pasta dishes. We would also like to make cheese.
Nonna Gina, I made your bolognese sauce and my kids loved it and kept asking for more. I'm so happy you found the time to publish your cookbook. It's a real treasure!
Ringrazia a Dio!!!! Che giorno bello che finalmente Nona Gina ha ritornata a tutti noi!!! Before I even watched the video, cara Nonna, I ran right to Amazon to buy your book! We understand it took time to write, but don’t ever leave us again! This book is what all your fans have been waiting for! 😘❤️
@@pockit5107 then you have not tried ethopian food. I'm not ethopian, but ethopian food is one of the best kinda of food you will ever taste. Don't be so close minded
Why do I get the feeling that there are many Ethiopian grandmothers that love to cook for their families just like Gina? I’d love to watch an Ethiopian grandmother cook like this, I bet the recipes would be amazing.
Praise the Lord! This calls for a celebration, 🎉congratulations 🎉 on your new cookbook! I bet they'll sell like hotcakes 😘👌 Blessings to you, lovely lady💕🙏 P.S. I could listen to you sing forever 😍 Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us! 🙏 Washington State 🌲🇺🇸
I'm so relieved to see you on here again. I was sad to think that maybe you weren't going to be on here anymore. I called out to my whole house that you were back!! I happened to watch your pizza video earlier today, made fresh pizza for dinner, came in the living room to watch something while eating it, and here you are again!! Such a blessing. Thank you! I am excited to get a copy of your treasured recipes! God bless you, Grandma Gina :)
Gina I made a double batch of this sauce. I had 20 people over for dinner and we all loved it. It was excellent! Thank you very much! I was in the kitchen all day! I dipped a hunk of bread in your sauce for my lunch while it was halfway done cooking and drank the rest of the 🍷 wine! 😆You're such a sweet Lady with a beautiful heart.
I just found your channel yesterday and I’m already working on a second dish of yours. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your joy. My 1.5 year old and my 4 year old love to watch you. My 1.5 yo dances to the songs you sing. Glad to have found you.
My husband just received your cookbook as a gift and he loves it. We are looking forward to trying more of your recipes. He cooks, I eat. Welcome back ♥
My son surprised me today with a package, he handed it to me and said "Happy early Birthday Mom.". Guess what it was? Yes, your cookbook!!!! I was so happy, now I really have you at my house. Nona Gina comes to Israel. Thank you again for sharing your recipes and your big heart. Thank your family for sharing you with the world (even if it was just for the family and friends at first) Let see we have Mexican Monday, I think we will now have Gina Tuesday. Blessings and hugs.
Grandma Gina, you are the #1 selling book in the Italian Cooking section of Amazon! :D Congratulations! I bought your book and also I bought the ingredients for this recipe so I need to start cooking!
Gina, my mom came from Santa a Maria vico, you remind me so much of her,the way you talk,sing cook everything. You bring back so many happy memories of my mom,whom I love and miss so much! Love you, thank you for all your videos. Keep them coming!
All I can say is YAY!! So happy to see you. Funny thing is…I don’t even cook! I just love to watch and listen. You bring warm feelings of FAMILY. God bless you. 🙏🏽❤️
I was all “Oh my goodness Gina is ok - with the pandemic I was so worried that you had been ill - or worse. So so glad your ok 👍🏻 and love that you e done a recipe book - so going to enjoy this ♥️
I order the book. I think I may be the first in Japan to order the paperback version. I love your passion. I love your heart. I love your recipes. I love your videos. Good luck with your book and I can not wait for version 2 and more videos. Thank you, Gina! Thank you for being on RUclips and sharing your passion with the world.
Oh Gina! I was so worried! I saw the new video. I yelled to my husband Gina is back ! Oh you can’t imagine how much I missed your videos. I Love ❤️ your cooking. I’ve made so many of your recipes and they are all amazing. Thank you!!!! Oh going to amazon to order the new cookbook........❤️
I had to stop as soon as I saw your memories at the back of your cookbook. It made me tear up with happiness because you were so thoughtful to bring your memories into what you love. It is so wonderful that you created a cookbook to share with your family and with all of your fans! It makes it so much more special that you captured your memories in the back of the book to make sure that your family never forgets and can always find you with them in their hearts while they are cooking too.
This is my first time seeing a Gina video. The second she started using 2 wood spoons, I was hooked and therefore subscribed. She adds love and spirit and beautiful music to her cooking. ❤
What a wonderful lady I wish she had her own TV programme this lovely lady shows what you can do rather than some chefs show you how good they can its so lovely she is so lovely to watch and listen to xxx
Growing up in the Italian part of the City of St. Louis, famously known as the "Hill"... (or Dog town)... The one thing you learn is that sauce or gravy is started in the morning and cooked all day.... And by all means DON'T TOUCH THE PAN!!!! or you will get wacked with a wooden spoon across your knuckles!😅 Love you Grandma ❤️
I am so proud of you Gina. I miss you and miss your recipes and today I am so happy to see you back and stronger. You prove to us that there is no limit for creativity and age is just a number, when you can be successful at any age. You are an amazing inspiration for all of us 😊😊
I just bought the cookbook! I can not tell you how many times your family has brought me so much happiness. I play her voice while I cook. I want her to live without pain, forever.
You had me a little worried and when i saw this my heart smiled! Grandma Gina you are the world's Grandma ❤ And I can see from all the comments, I'm not wrong.. You really are loved that much Grandma Gina's 🤗
Grandma Gina! I just received a copy of your cookbook. It has brought me great joy! You are so full of light and love and strength! You are an inspiration to all of us. The last recipe in the book, roasted chickpeas looks very interesting. I’m going to make that one first! Thank you for bringing the joy of cooking into my life. The purpose of your cookbook states that we supporters bring joy to you, but it’s a two-way street! Thank you, thank you, thank you! By the way, the photos in the back are so sweet! You are so beautiful!!
So happy to see you again!! I wondered if you had ever thought of putting out a cookbook. My birthday is next month so when my husband asks what I would like, I know what to ask for! Welcome back!
I am so glad you're back! I am also thrilled that you have made a cookbook! I just ordered it. I have made two of your recipes; the sausage and peppers and manicotti, with the latter being our absolute favorite. I make it regularly! You are a breathe of fresh air and I am relieved to have that back once again. My babies will be excited to see this video too as they love watching you with me. Ti amo Nonna Gina! ❤️😘
We ordered your cookbook and I'm so excited! Your pasta e fagioli, chicken parm, wedding soup, and steak alla pizzaiola are staples for us now. I even tried your tiramisu at Christmas and it was a win with my Italian-Canadian family! You make our kitchen a better place! :)
Oh! I am so happy to see Grandma Gina is back. She always makes me smile, even if I am having a bad day, she's a ray of sunshine. All the best with the new book!!
I'm so over-joyed to see nonna Gina back again, and making Bolagnese sauce. I'm Italian as well and enjoy cooking and will try this recipe! God bless you all! 🙏
@@Vendzor Use recipes that are from Italy. My mother grew up in Italy and I can say there can be a huge difference between real Italian food and what is passed off as Italian-American food. This Bolognese recipe is exactly how it is made in Italy.
@@Vendzor Well first there are many Italian-American dishes that do not exist in Italy. Such as: Spaghetti with Meatballs (They are served as separate courses and Italians think it is disgusting to serve them together), Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Parmigiana, Garlic Bread, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, and Pepperoni Pizza. Actually, it is impossible to serve pepperoni pizza in Italy, since pepperoni doesn't exist there either. That is just to name a few. Second, way to much garlic used in Italian-American dishes. Italians do not use that much garlic at all. Many Italian pasta sauces actually have no garlic added. The vegetable base (Soffritto) is just onions, carrots and celery. Third is the quality of the ingredients. "Organic" food does not exist in Italy. Because of their strict food laws, everyday Italian food is way beyond USDA Organic. If you want the best tasting food, you need the best tasting ingredients. Forth, the type and ratio of ingredients is just different in real Italian recipes. Also, Italian meals are serve as distinct courses. Italian-American food is often just everything mashed together. Fifth, many of the so called "Italian" food establishments in the U.S., especially the larger chain ones just serve really bad food. Poor menus, poor cooking, and cheap ingredients. You are far better off learning to cook Italian yourself, using actual recipes from Italy, and using the best ingredients available (which might mean using ingredients imported from Italy) Finally, don't even get me started what passes as Italian Pizza in the U.S. 99% of it is totally disgusting.
@@markantony3875 Most of my grocery stores have the usual crap, but there's one place that has imported Italian goods. I have a pack of imported rigatoni I plan to use in a pasta bake. Are pasta bakes a common Italian dish or is that more of an American thing?
I was thrilled to see another video. I was so worried about you… our favorite Grandma…GINA!!!! Love you so much. I yelled Gina has a book out! We ordered it immediately. I’m so happy for you, Gina. I hope you sell a million books. You are such a blessing and We watch every video you put out. You bring so much joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
I have received your book Grandma Gina .... IT IS SUPERB, I LOVE IT ..... The inclusion of your family photos is simply wonderful .... We can now 'see' those of whom you speak and hold so dear, thank you .... I highly recommend your book to all your followers ...... A post on here says an ALBUM OF YOUR SINGING NEXT and I agree ..... We can play it while cooking your recipes in our own kitchens, sounds good to me ....... Much love ..... Paula UK
I'm so happy to hear your bolognese recipe Gina! Thank you so much for sharing. I lost my own nonna a few years ago so I am very happy to have a RUclips nonna now to continue teaching me new recipes. Grazie mille!
Just ordered your book Gina. I’m an Anglo who grew up in an Italian neighbourhood in Toronto. You bring back suck wonderful memories of being in my friends kitchens while their mommas and nonnas cooked. Grazie
I already added one comment yesterday but I literally went to Amazon yesterday morning and ordered her book. It came early this afternoon and I’m making one of her recipes thinking of her and her beautiful singing next to me
I'm choking up you so remind me of my grandmother we called her Nanny!!! She was first generation Italian American. I guess Italians really are all connected with our Food and cooking! Love your videos and can't wait to watch them all. God Bless!
We call her Grandma Gina in our household. She's somewhat of a celebrity with us. Reminds me so much of my grandma. We love the videos and look forward to every new one. My wife and I would really like to know when we can stop by for dinner?! 🙂 Sincerely, The Federico's
This is how my Dad taught us to make our sauce and we loved it! Now that I've retired, I've told my husband that I want to make our sauce completely from scratch again! I was very happy to see you back in your kitchen and love you. I'll be going on Amazon for that book of yours, too. Thank you so much for your videos! God Bless and keep you.
Don't know how I stumbled upon this wonderful woman Gina! This reminds me of going to eat in Naples back in the 80s at a little place called Momma's or something. You literally went in and asked what she had cooked that day and sat in the front room of her house where she had 4 tables. It was incredible! I will be ordering that book! God bless you Gina and your family.
Congratulations Ms. Gina and thank you for the cookbook!!! I lost both my grandmothers and mother but I see the joy and cooking expertise in your eyes. I love the book!!!
So happy you’re back Nonna Gina. Your cooking and singing is just like my mother’s, who is also from a small town in Provincia di Foggia. God bless you and your family.
Signora Gina quanto mi piacere a vedere il suo cooking e il come si parla English mi diverto un sacco mi fa felice di vederti nonna bravissima 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙❤️
I just yelled to my husband…”GINA’S BACK”…I was so worried about you!I’m so glad you are well and doing your cooking again. We all missed you!!!!! Love 😅😘🥰

I do as well. I tear up with happiness ❤️
I’m a though guy she literally made me cry 😢
God bless this lovely and gentle woman❤😊
No not me. But I’m not unhinged and can get a grip on basic fundamentals unlike other weak people. I’m not a basic B.
So nice mama,we learnt so many basinal dishes from you, wish you good and long life CIAO
I HAVE TO ADMIT, LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD I WAS WORRIED!! NOW, I AM VERY, VERY RELIEVED!! WHAT A COME BACK, A BOOK AND A GLORIOUS BOLOGNESE--BRAVA TUTTI DI'BRAVA!!! NEXT ORDER, 3 BOOKS--1 FOR ME AND 2 FOR DUI AMICI. GRAZI !!!
I love that she included pictures of her family and friends in the cookbook. A meal is never complete without someone special to share it with ❤
So True ❤️
One of the most adorable personalities I've seen.
You're right. She is the sweetest and so cheerful. She's like the Italian Miss Swan, lol.
I love here since 2 secs of watching this vid.. She made me smile allllll the time haha
Nona is back!!!! "Enjoy, Gina!" - that was priceless.
This made my heart so happy!!! ❤️❤️❤️. LOVE LOVE LOVE to you Ms. Gina. Definitely ordering the cookbook. So glad you are back, healthy, and willing to teach us more. May God continue to bless this beautiful Grandma.
♡♡♡ Nona Gina !
Devo dirti che ero davvero preoccupato per la tua così lunga assenza… La prossima volta fai dei brevi video per far sapere a tuoi amici che stai bene… Amo la tua cucina (e il tuo inglese con accento italiano 😄) e questa volta hai cucinato la mia vita No .1 ricetta!!! 😀😀😀♥️♥️♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

You’re back in your own home! I’m happy for you. I’m sure it was good to be with your daughter during lockdown, but there’s no place like home.
Amen to that
This is the smartest thing ever by her family: to save and memorialize it all now with her blessing it and overseeing it! and SHARING it! because that's how it and she lives on forever and will. GOD Bless her with 100+ more years!

Everybody gangsta until Gina starts dual-wielding the kitchen tools. 😂 Looks amazing.

Nona Gina comes to Israel. Thank you again for sharing your recipes and your big heart. Thank your family for sharing you with the world (even if it was just for the family and friends at first) Let see we have Mexican Monday, I think we will now have Gina Tuesday. Blessings and hugs.
Happy Birthday!
@@BuonAPetitti Thank you.
Grandma Gina, you are the #1 selling book in the Italian Cooking section of Amazon! :D Congratulations! I bought your book and also I bought the ingredients for this recipe so I need to start cooking!
Gina, my mom came from Santa a Maria vico, you remind me so much of her,the way you talk,sing cook everything. You bring back so many happy memories of my mom,whom I love and miss so much! Love you, thank you for all your videos. Keep them coming!
All I can say is YAY!! So happy to see you. Funny thing is…I don’t even cook! I just love to watch and listen. You bring warm feelings of FAMILY. God bless you. 🙏🏽❤️
She is great to listen to, right? I love to cook, but sometimes if I am anxious....I listen to her and she calms me.......
You should try just one recipe, and you’d be hooked. Everything Gina makes tastes just wonderful.
My 5 yr old son has been waiting for more from you! As soon as he wakes up and when hes falling asleep he says please can we watch mama Gina
Lovely to see you back Gina, you’ve just put me in the mood to make a Bolognese for tomorrow, thank you and keep well lots of love from Scotland xx

Good luck with your book and I can not wait for version 2 and more videos. Thank you, Gina! Thank you for being on RUclips and sharing your passion with the world.
Oh Gina! I was so worried! I saw the new video. I yelled to my husband Gina is back ! Oh you can’t imagine how much I missed your videos. I Love ❤️ your cooking. I’ve made so many of your recipes and they are all amazing. Thank you!!!! Oh going to amazon to order the new cookbook........❤️
Luv you mamma Gina.. 💜🌹
My worrying is over. Glad to see u again.
U are truly an original.
I had to stop as soon as I saw your memories at the back of your cookbook. It made me tear up with happiness because you were so thoughtful to bring your memories into what you love. It is so wonderful that you created a cookbook to share with your family and with all of your fans! It makes it so much more special that you captured your memories in the back of the book to make sure that your family never forgets and can always find you with them in their hearts while they are cooking too.
I love Gina. She's the Italian grandma I always wished I had. God bless Gina!
Thank you Gina. I love you.
This is my first time seeing a Gina video. The second she started using 2 wood spoons, I was hooked and therefore subscribed. She adds love and spirit and beautiful music to her cooking. ❤
What a wonderful lady I wish she had her own TV programme this lovely lady shows what you can do rather than some chefs show you how good they can its so lovely she is so lovely to watch and listen to xxx
NONNA Gina, We are All so Happy to see you back in the kitchen. I'm getting your book, be well NONNA Gina, ❤❤❤
Growing up in the Italian part of the City of St. Louis, famously known as the "Hill"... (or Dog town)...
The one thing you learn is that sauce or gravy is started in the morning and cooked all day....
And by all means DON'T TOUCH THE PAN!!!! or you will get wacked with a wooden spoon across your knuckles!😅 Love you Grandma ❤️
I am so proud of you Gina. I miss you and miss your recipes and today I am so happy to see you back and stronger. You prove to us that there is no limit for creativity and age is just a number, when you can be successful at any age. You are an amazing inspiration for all of us 😊😊
I just bought the cookbook! I can not tell you how many times your family has brought me so much happiness. I play her voice while I cook. I want her to live without pain, forever.
I yelled out loud, “NONNAS BACK!” Welcome! You’ve been missed! And a big congrats on your book, time to celebrate 🎉 🥰
You had me a little worried and when i saw this my heart smiled! Grandma Gina you are the world's Grandma ❤ And I can see from all the comments, I'm not wrong.. You really are loved that much Grandma Gina's 🤗
I was a little worried too. Glad to see her back in the kitchen, doing what she loves.
Grandma Gina! I just received a copy of your cookbook. It has brought me great joy! You are so full of light and love and strength! You are an inspiration to all of us. The last recipe in the book, roasted chickpeas looks very interesting. I’m going to make that one first! Thank you for bringing the joy of cooking into my life. The purpose of your cookbook states that we supporters bring joy to you, but it’s a two-way street! Thank you, thank you, thank you! By the way, the photos in the back are so sweet! You are so beautiful!!
Can't wait to get my Italian Grandma Cook Book. Just ordered. Love you Italian Grandma. God Bless. Grazie.
So happy to see you again!! I wondered if you had ever thought of putting out a cookbook. My birthday is next month so when my husband asks what I would like, I know what to ask for! Welcome back!
I am so glad you're back! I am also thrilled that you have made a cookbook! I just ordered it. I have made two of your recipes; the sausage and peppers and manicotti, with the latter being our absolute favorite. I make it regularly! You are a breathe of fresh air and I am relieved to have that back once again. My babies will be excited to see this video too as they love watching you with me. Ti amo Nonna Gina! ❤️😘
We ordered your cookbook and I'm so excited! Your pasta e fagioli, chicken parm, wedding soup, and steak alla pizzaiola are staples for us now. I even tried your tiramisu at Christmas and it was a win with my Italian-Canadian family! You make our kitchen a better place! :)
Congratulations on the production of your book. I am sure it will be a blessing to many peoples.
I’ll buy your book but I want an album of your singing.
I know! I love it when Gina sings.
❤️❤️❤️ we love you MamaGina
Right!
Bought your book as soon as you told me what you did! Your’s is the only cookbook I’ve bought in decades! Love Nonna! Grazie!
Oh! I am so happy to see Grandma Gina is back. She always makes me smile, even if I am having a bad day, she's a ray of sunshine. All the best with the new book!!
Not only a terrific cook but a great singer, Thanks you and many blessings.
I'm so over-joyed to see nonna Gina back again, and making Bolagnese sauce.
I'm Italian as well and enjoy cooking and will try this recipe! God bless you all! 🙏
What can I do to be more faithful to Italian cooking? I love Italian food but I can't help but feel many of the recipes I use are too Americanized.
@@Vendzor Use recipes that are from Italy. My mother grew up in Italy and I can say there can be a huge difference between real Italian food and what is passed off as Italian-American food. This Bolognese recipe is exactly how it is made in Italy.
@@markantony3875 What are some of the main differences?
@@Vendzor Well first there are many Italian-American dishes that do not exist in Italy. Such as: Spaghetti with Meatballs (They are served as separate courses and Italians think it is disgusting to serve them together), Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Parmigiana, Garlic Bread, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, and Pepperoni Pizza. Actually, it is impossible to serve pepperoni pizza in Italy, since pepperoni doesn't exist there either. That is just to name a few.
Second, way to much garlic used in Italian-American dishes. Italians do not use that much garlic at all. Many Italian pasta sauces actually have no garlic added. The vegetable base (Soffritto) is just onions, carrots and celery.
Third is the quality of the ingredients. "Organic" food does not exist in Italy. Because of their strict food laws, everyday Italian food is way beyond USDA Organic. If you want the best tasting food, you need the best tasting ingredients.
Forth, the type and ratio of ingredients is just different in real Italian recipes. Also, Italian meals are serve as distinct courses. Italian-American food is often just everything mashed together.
Fifth, many of the so called "Italian" food establishments in the U.S., especially the larger chain ones just serve really bad food. Poor menus, poor cooking, and cheap ingredients.
You are far better off learning to cook Italian yourself, using actual recipes from Italy, and using the best ingredients available (which might mean using ingredients imported from Italy)
Finally, don't even get me started what passes as Italian Pizza in the U.S. 99% of it is totally disgusting.
@@markantony3875 Most of my grocery stores have the usual crap, but there's one place that has imported Italian goods. I have a pack of imported rigatoni I plan to use in a pasta bake. Are pasta bakes a common Italian dish or is that more of an American thing?
I just received the book, it only took 3 days to Italy! It's full of colour photos - at least one on every page! Buonissimo! Grazie mille Gina!!!!!!!
is Amazon the only way you can get that book tho?? I want it, but don't want to use Amazon particularly.
She reminds me so much of my Mexican grandma. She loved cooking for us and always put so much love in her food. ❤️
I love watching Sra Gina cooking, reminds me of my time spent in
Lazio, my hat off for this wonderful lady!!!!
Oh my god welcome back I’m so happy ❤️🙏🏻
May the Lord bless you and keep you , may His face shine upon you, and give you PEACE.
Beautiful sweet lady. A good woman!
Beautiful! 💕🙏🏻
Who would give a thumbs down on Nona? We love you Grandma Gina! You are an inspiration and such a pleasure to watch❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹
What a knowledge of classic Italian cooking, Gina is amazing,
I was thrilled to see another video. I was so worried about you… our favorite Grandma…GINA!!!! Love you so much. I yelled Gina has a book out! We ordered it immediately. I’m so happy for you, Gina. I hope you sell a million books. You are such a blessing and We watch every video you put out. You bring so much joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
I have received your book Grandma Gina .... IT IS SUPERB, I LOVE IT ..... The inclusion of your family photos is simply wonderful .... We can now 'see' those of whom you speak and hold so dear, thank you .... I highly recommend your book to all your followers ...... A post on here says an ALBUM OF YOUR SINGING NEXT and I agree ..... We can play it while cooking your recipes in our own kitchens, sounds good to me ....... Much love ..... Paula UK
Does it include this recipe?
I'm so happy to hear your bolognese recipe Gina! Thank you so much for sharing. I lost my own nonna a few years ago so I am very happy to have a RUclips nonna now to continue teaching me new recipes. Grazie mille!
I love this woman and her recipes are fantastic and easy to do. Perfect and beautiful loving Grandma. I miss my Nanny!
Just ordered me and a friend the cook book. I love the simple home cooking.
Just ordered your book Gina. I’m an Anglo who grew up in an Italian neighbourhood in Toronto. You bring back suck wonderful memories of being in my friends kitchens while their mommas and nonnas cooked. Grazie
Pleased proofread.
I already added one comment yesterday but I literally went to Amazon yesterday morning and ordered her book. It came early this afternoon and I’m making one of her recipes thinking of her and her beautiful singing next to me
I'm choking up you so remind me of my grandmother we called her Nanny!!! She was first generation Italian American. I guess Italians really are all connected with our Food and cooking! Love your videos and can't wait to watch them all. God Bless!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your cooking,your singing and listening to your voice which reminds of my grandma Nona God bless you Gina
Geno
We call her Grandma Gina in our household. She's somewhat of a celebrity with us. Reminds me so much of my grandma. We love the videos and look forward to every new one. My wife and I would really like to know when we can stop by for dinner?! 🙂 Sincerely, The Federico's
She reminds me of my grandma Victa, Victoria. She was from Mexico.
I’m almost as old as her so I can’t call her grandma😁
Okay if you going, Im going with you❤🙌
meet and greet
This is how my Dad taught us to make our sauce and we loved it! Now that I've retired, I've told my husband that I want to make our sauce completely from scratch again! I was very happy to see you back in your kitchen and love you. I'll be going on Amazon for that book of yours, too. Thank you so much for your videos! God Bless and keep you.
I listened to your singing 3 times!!!! My ItalianFather in law used to show me your videos! Thank you 😊
I miss him terribly 😢
Gina your singing is so beautiful it makes me cry. Your recipe looks amazing and I always learn so much watching you!
Don't know how I stumbled upon this wonderful woman Gina! This reminds me of going to eat in Naples back in the 80s at a little place called Momma's or something. You literally went in and asked what she had cooked that day and sat in the front room of her house where she had 4 tables. It was incredible! I will be ordering that book! God bless you Gina and your family.
Gracias por q
Congratulations Ms. Gina and thank you for the cookbook!!! I lost both my grandmothers and mother but I see the joy and cooking expertise in your eyes. I love the book!!!
