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!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Italian Lemon / Limoncello Amaretti - Almond Cookies (e87)
Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti - (everybody's grandma), bakes up an incredibly easy, but absolutely delicious, gluten-free, almond-based cookie, referred to as amaretti. There aren't many ingredients and the process is rather simple. You and your family are going to love these!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of almond flour (about a pound)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 egg whites
- tsp of lemon juice or limoncello
- zest from 2 lemons (about 3 TBSP)
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- icing (powdered) sugar for rolling the cookies
- granulated sugar for rolling the cookies
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a standing mixer, or using an electric hand mixer, whip up the egg whites until soft peaks form. Blend the egg whites with the dry ingredients, adding in the lemon juice and or limoncello. The consistency should be dense and form a ball when you scrunch your palm.
Using water on your palm to reduce stickiness, begin rolling consistently-sized, small balls, then roll through the granulated sugar and finally through the powdered sugar. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Preheat oven to 325 F and bake for about 15 minutes. Place on a cooling rack. YIELD: 36
Pour yourself an espresso, and enjoy! Buon appetito!

These Italian almond cookies (a.k.a. soft amaretti or amaretti morbidi) appear in my kitchen very often because they’re quick and easy to make, they taste delicious (especially if you love the almond flavor) and they require 3 basic ingredients (egg whites, almond flour, sugar), plus some aromatics and a pinch of salt.
In Italian, the word amaretti is derived from the word amaro, which means bitter. And so in order to get the true authentic taste of an amaretti, you must use ground bitter almonds or replace them with bitter almond extract. Luckily, most almond extracts have already bitter almond extract as their base because that’s what gives them their intense scent.
.
TIP: Use room temperature egg whites because they will whip up much faster.
