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!

How to make Pizzelle (classic authentic italian cookies)
PLEASE NOTE that you will need a pizzelle iron to make these cookies.
Follow the baking instructions that come along your pizzelle iron, as the instructions might slightly vary from one maker to another.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs ???? (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt ????
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon of Anise extract (or any other flavour of your choice)
1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter ???? (melted and cooled)
Cooking spray
Powdered sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1) Preheat your pizzelle iron
2) In a medium size bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Blend the ingredients together with a whisk and set aside.
3) In a large bowl, whisk by hand (or you can use a hand mixer) the eggs, sugar, vanilla and anise extract until smooth and foamy.
4) Stir in the flour mixture and with a spatula combine well. Add the melted butter and stir until the batter is smooth; don’t over mix. This makes for a thick batter.
5) Lightly spray the preheated iron with the cooking spray. Drop about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter in the Center of the mold and close the lid.
Cook the pizzelle till they are golden (usually about one minute) and transfer immediately onto a wire rack to cool. Should you have any rough edges, gently break them off.
Repeat these steps for the remaining batter.
6) Once cooled, you may lightly dust the pizzelle with powdered sugar.
Enjoy them with a nice glass of warm milk ????, coffee ☕️ or tea ????!
