@@anthonyfalcone5605 Mine was the same way too. I realize now with a family of my own what a TON of nonstop work it actually was. You are hard pressed to find anyone who works as hard for money at a job outside the home.
Grandma Gina. Thank you so much for teaching me how to cook real authentic Italian food for my husband who’s Italian from Naples, Italy 🇮🇹. His Italian parents have passed on and I never got the chance to meet them but my husband says you talk exactly like his mom. Since watching all your cooking videos I have become quite the Italian cook and I owe that all to you. I bought your cook book on Amazon and it’s awesome. Thank you for that as well. Continue success with lots of blessings. We love you so so much.🥰🇮🇹
When Nonna Gina cried talking about her son in laws mother, I cried. May she forever rest in peace 💜✝️ Thank you Nonna for another great video. God bless you 💜
That dish looks absolutely delicious, Gina. That was a lot of work but I'm sure the finished product was spectacular. I can well imagine the sweet friendship that you had with your son-in-law's mother and you honor her with your heartfelt remembrance and by continuing to make the special recipes that she shared with you. There is not a lazy bone in your body, Gina and you are truly a light in this world. Thank you and your family for allowing us to get to know you.
Grandma, such a pleasure to watch you cook. You rush nothing. You pick the herbs, you wash, you wait... you do things so naturally. Nothing rushed. A pleasure to watch you. So calming. God bless.
Thank you Nick and Mari for sharing her with us ! You know what a gem she is. Now we do too! I’m 78 and she inspires me to do more cooking when I feel I’ve done my share, she guilts me out! God knows her worth! Bless you all for giving her this venue. I will pray for her to thrive! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗

I have tried your eggplant casserole recipe and now going to try this. Thank you for sharing them with the world may God continue to bless you and your family🥰

Nonna Gina you have such patience, stripping each and every fennel frond off those stems. You are the best Nonna ever! I enjoy eating finicchio raw, after a meal. But this dish looks delicious! God Bless you Nonna Gina, you're the BEST! ❤💯

Hi Gina, I have just received you cookbook that I ordered. I love you, your energy, your history. I specifically enjoyed the pictures of you and your history, that were shown in your cookbook. Keep on going! I am looking forward to the next edition! Love you!
Do not not know what Finnochio is? Herb, maybe? Never heard of it! Keep on cooking, please!! No better legacy can you leave your family, than your recipes… and us !! Thank you!! My Grandmothers lived too far away!! They have passed, but a cousin, another Grandaughter had learned her recipes, and then some!! ( They lived in same small village!) But I am still too far away… and too old and poor to travel to her!! Bless you for keeping on cooking!! PAY ATTENTION, CHILDREN!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WILL EVER ACQUIRE, in your entire lives!! Trust me… thank you Gina!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😘😘😘
@@joannesmith9486 🍃❤️AMEN Joanne❤️🍃 There is always using the mail for the recipes, and there's the internet so you can video chat and cook together.⚘️ That's beautiful that your family found a bunch of recipes!🙏🙏 It is truly a blessing to be able to cook! Love always sister.❤️ 🍃✝️🍃⚘️🕊
Watching Grandma Gina reminds me of all the Italian dishes my Nani make all the great Italian dishes she use to make and I watched her make and carry on the same dishes today I don’t like anchovies at all so I make so I make the Finocchio with linguine without anchovies and put capers instead with of it’s oil comes out good
I have beautiful fennel growing in my garden and I have used the root a lot but toss the fronds because I didn't know what I didn't know. I am super scared of the anchovies, but you have inspired me to try something new with something I grew. I am a cook at heart and love learning the true Italian way of cooking from you. Thank you! Also, I cried alligator tears when you talked about your friend who you got this recipe from.
You can also eat the fronds raw in salad and toss them in soups. They are great layed on fish when baked or broiled and lots of people use them for pestos. Just cut them up tiny so they aren’t stringy. You can also dry them or freeze them for later use and use them anyway you would use dill. You can cut them up finely and put them on potatoes or pork with a marinade or oil. So many ways to use; don’t throw them out!
YUMMZY! Of course it's GOOD because it was made with a Nonni's love ❤️😍! It looks delicious! It always so relaxing when the Nonni is preparing a meal zero stress involved. I love Italian food and would be in heaven to visit Italy 🇮🇹 and hopefully get invited to share a meal in an Italian home made with love by a Nonni - that would be a dream come true for sure! Thank you to ALL THE NONNIES IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY THIS ADORABLE YOUNG LADY SENORA THAT IS KIND ENOUGH TO SHARE HER DELICIOUS ITALIAN FOOD WITH THE WORLD ON RUclips! GOD BLESS YOU SWEETHEART!! PS- I HAVE NO ITALIAN BLOOD IN ME - BUT I ADORE ITALIAN FOOD AND EVERYTHING ITALIAN= TOP QUALITY WITH PRIDE IN PROCESS AND PREPARTION 100%! BRAVO! GOD BLESS ITALY 🇮🇹
Love, love, love Gina's cooking videos. Love, love, love Gina. This recipe looks wonderful. I'll have to try it. Thank you Gina. May God bless you and your family and keep you cooking for a long, long time.
I live in the UK, but being half-Italian, I often head for the Mediterranean. There, all types of Fennel grow like weeds at the roadside. Some are fragrant, but not really edible, some are super tasty. I remember doing field research in Malta [recording sea water contamination of ground water due to rising sea levels and over consumption of the aquifers] Under the Sun in the first week in March, it was surprisingly hot and dry. And the hands easily got dusty and dirty. So I grabbed some wild purple fennel, which had a gorgeous smell, and rubbed it into my hands. It was a natural cleanser and moisturiser. My hands were revived and ready to carry on. Got a lot of time for all types of Fennel. Including the seeds.
Hello Gina, I have never heard of finocchio. Thanks u for teaching me about it and how it grows and how it is prepared. You touched my heart when u spoke of your son-in-laws mother….I almost cried along with you. You are so special to me.
Cara Signora Gina, I'm so happy to see you agsin!!! Wow, this recipe is something really new to me!! It looks great and I'm sure it's delicious 😋 Thank you for making another video because you bring me such joy to see you again in your kitchen, always making your family happy!! God bless you always, Cara 🙏🌞🙏😇
I love watching you cook! I ordered your book n I can't wait for it to get here. Your " cooking classes" have been a lifesaver! You are sweet😇 thank you so much!
Grandma Gina I love you so much. Enjoy your cooking. I am Jamaican living in Canada and my kids live pasta dishes. I have learn a lot from you in the kitchen. My God continue 🙏 to give you good health and strength 💪 every day for your love and passion. God bless you and your 👪.
Hello how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. you’ve got a beautiful smile I must say.. I would love to be a friend if you don’t mind.
Hello Debra how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. you’ve got a beautiful smile I must say.. I would love to be a friend if you don’t mind.
What a sweetheart! ☺ I just love this young lady. Thank you for all these special recipe ideas. I had not heard of this veggie and I've not seen an anchovies in decades. Back 50 years ago I ate pizza with it as an ingredient. I really liked it that way. God bless your sweet heart.
Watching you always reminds me of my father and mother and grandmother. My father spoke Italian with my grandmother. He never taught us the language but we could always follow the conversation. Now that they are gone, I sometimes surprise myself with the Italian words and phrases that I do know, and pass them down to my children and grandchildren. Thank you for not only the memories but for the delicious food you cook. God Bless you.
Reminds me of pasta con sarde for St. Joseph’s Day. When I prepare the breadcrumbs I add lots garlic and sauté just Gina. The garlic gives it a really nice extra hint of nuttiness. ❤️
So happy to see you Nona…I love you. You are wonderful and so kind to share your recipes with us.I also love your book and consider it one of my favorite treasures I own. See you soon I hope…god bless xox
I so much enjoy listening to Gina. Her accent reminds me so much of my grandfather, and her singing. Can remember my grandfather doing the same thing when he was cooking in the kitchen trying to teach me Italian dishes back in the 60's-80's. Thank you.
Grandma Gina, you are the absolute best! You make these recipes the same way as my Grandma. I love your videos. It's like going back in time. I am the second generation born in the US and most of these are just gone. I'm so happy you have brought our food history back to life.
Dear Gina so happy to see you again with this dish looks so good I could just image how good your kitchen smells. I have no garden but I love seeing yours so good. God Bless Your joy gives me so many smiles Thank you Cricket
Hello lindy how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. you’ve got a beautiful smile I must say.. I would love to be a friend if you don’t mind.
This lady is adorable! She reminds me of my mother. But we are Portuguese. We can not find these type of women any that cook from the heart! Hard working woman. God bless you.
I’m sorry you miss your friend who is in Paradise now.You have fond memories of her. Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom and helpful tips when cooking. I watch all of your shows and also have my eye on your book!
I bet this is delicious. I love that you keep your olive oil in a Sprite bottle. I could listen to you talk all day. You had me in tears talking about your son’s mom.
Hello Nonna Gina!! I love watching you and I hope and pray that you are doing well ❤️ 😍 love seeing you and I will be making this dish for my family🥰😘 much love from colorful Colorado
Hi Gina, we love you. You are beautiful in and out. We are addicted to see you everyday. You don’t have to go through the trouble to cook everyday. Even if you film a couple minutes of your daily, shopping, gardening, praying, visiting your family, exercising and anything else, also some more cake baking would all be delightful. Hugs and kisses to you, and have a great summer! Special thanks to Nick, Maria, and your grandchildren who are bringing you to us.🌺🌷🌷🌹❤️🌸🌸🌺❤️🎂
Got to the bit about "Josephine with God now"....😭💕🙏. Bless you Gina. I love your big heart...the recipe's are great too!💖💕💞 I trust your son in law loved the pasta. xxx
Hello Mary how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. you’ve got a beautiful smile I must say.. I would love to be a friend if you don’t mind.
My mother used to make that for us, with white flaked fish and grated Romano cheese. I loved it! She layered hers in a big pot and you helped yourself.
God I love this woman! I could listen to her talk and cook and sing all day. 😁 No guile in her; pure of heart, you can just tell. 🥰
I agree! A much better way to live your life! Pray that we all can be this way.
Definitely! She's amazing!
She reminds me of my grandmother and her accent/dialects are the same. Brings back some wonderful memories.

finocchio is fennel

What a sweetheart! ☺ I just love this young lady. Thank you for all these special recipe ideas. I had not heard of this veggie and I've not seen an anchovies in decades. Back 50 years ago I ate pizza with it as an ingredient. I really liked it that way.
God bless your sweet heart.

We love to watch your cooking videos. You remind me of my grandma and mom.
God bless you Italian Grandma !!
I enjoy you each time you teach us how to cook different dishes.
Keep on keeping on
Watching you always reminds me of my father and mother and grandmother. My father spoke Italian with my grandmother. He never taught us the language but we could always follow the conversation. Now that they are gone, I sometimes surprise myself with the Italian words and phrases that I do know, and pass them down to my children and grandchildren. Thank you for not only the memories but for the delicious food you cook. God Bless you.
Grandma Gina, you’re such a wonderful teacher 🧑🍳 I ❤listening & watching you cook! My M-I-L Who was Sicilian kept everything a secret.
Reminds me of pasta con sarde for St. Joseph’s Day. When I prepare the breadcrumbs I add lots garlic and sauté just Gina. The garlic gives it a really nice extra hint of nuttiness. ❤️
Thanks for being here for. Me I like new ideas I'm going to share .good day Gena
So happy to see you Nona…I love you. You are wonderful and so kind to share your recipes with us.I also love your book and consider it one of my favorite treasures I own. See you soon I hope…god bless xox
I'm making this tonight. I bought a fennel bulb with fronds yesterday, and yes, it does look like a lot of work, but I'm sure it will be delicious.
Thank you grandma Gina, I love that recipe and will make it. God Bless You my friend.
Thank you for sharing your food and memories! You're a beautiful soul. I hope your family passes down your memories. ❤
I so much enjoy listening to Gina. Her accent reminds me so much of my grandfather, and her singing. Can remember my grandfather doing the same thing when he was cooking in the kitchen trying to teach me Italian dishes back in the 60's-80's. Thank you.
Grandma Gina, you are the absolute best! You make these recipes the same way as my Grandma. I love your videos. It's like going back in time. I am the second generation born in the US and most of these are just gone. I'm so happy you have brought our food history back to life.

I bet this is delicious. I love that you keep your olive oil in a Sprite bottle. I could listen to you talk all day. You had me in tears talking about your son’s mom.

Hello Nonna Gina!! I love watching you and I hope and pray that you are doing well ❤️ 😍 love seeing you and I will be making this dish for my family🥰😘 much love from colorful Colorado
Hi Gina, we love you. You are beautiful in and out. We are addicted to see you everyday. You don’t have to go through the trouble to cook everyday. Even if you film a couple minutes of your daily, shopping, gardening, praying, visiting your family, exercising and anything else, also some more cake baking would all be delightful.
Hugs and kisses to you, and have a great summer! Special thanks to Nick, Maria, and your grandchildren who are bringing you to us.🌺🌷🌷🌹❤️🌸🌸🌺❤️🎂
She is truly godly woman with beautiful soul, she made me cry how still she talks about her son-in-law mother and cries :((
Got to the bit about "Josephine with God now"....😭💕🙏. Bless you Gina. I love your big heart...the recipe's are great too!💖💕💞 I trust your son in law loved the pasta. xxx
I never miss your videos, Gina. They make me happy......and hungry!
Brava, Gina!

Hello Nona Gina. Nice to see you again. Nice dish. Have to try it. God bless you and your family for the joy you spread !!
My mother used to make that for us, with white flaked fish and grated Romano cheese. I loved it! She layered hers in a big pot and you helped yourself.
