    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!

    Nonna Gina was certainly in her happy place when outside in the garden. Her eyes were so big and happy looking at all the cardoon that was needing her to pick it and get it into the kitchen! Watching her in her element, whether a garden or kitchen, makes me smile the entire time watching her videos! Thanks for another great video, Nonna Gina!

They take me to a spiritual place, of family, friends and blessings. So grateful for them all♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Guys and gals, this is burdock! It grows wild like Gina says. The roots are also very tasty and edible. Many cultures use it in their cuisine. Thank you so much for sharing this with us today. I am so happy to see you outside and enjoying the garden spaces. Those plants are huge! I don't have burdock growing on my property but I am on a mission to get some seeds this year so I can grow a patch of them.

    Oh, dearest Grandma...I looked and looked on Google to find "Cardoons". The were not the ones that my grandma took the kids out into the country to search for. THEN I figured that just maybe you would have a recipe for the ones found in America. YESSSSS!!!! There was your beautiful smiling and enthusiastic face. You have solved my puzzle, and I thank you so very much for it. I cannot wait to send it to my cousins - we are all in our 70's or 80's. I hope that some of them are as happy to relive this part of our childhoods as I am. When I hear your accent - sometimes it brings tears to my eyes because you make "see again" my Sicilian grandma.
    Gina, you are a beautiful woman - inside and outside. Thank you so much - I just ran out into my yard and gather up some "cardoons." Vivi bene e felice

    Thank you so much for sharing this old recipe. My grandmother made these as well. It’s a lot of work but worth all the effort. Gina please use Celtic sea salt and avacado oil or EVOO but don’t use regular table salt or vegetable oil as they are both no good for the body. They are very inflammatory. I know these items were staples for so many of us but vegetable, canola, safflower or sunflower oil are very inflammatory. Many blessings to you Gina! I love watching you. It warms my heart to hear your stories or hear you sing. You have such joy in your heart!

    I can’t believe your having a show on cooking cordoons. We left Elizebeth NJ also known as Peterstown. When spring time came around we would get out of the car if we saw them and cut them down and my mother would make them and boy they were delicious. Puts a big smile on my face to know that some else knows what they are.

    "Fold in the cheese." Love that muppene !! (Schitt's Creek). I love watching her. My grandparents (and my grandaunts and granduncles) were all Italian-American. I miss them all !! One pair from Abruzzo, the other from Calabria. Her accent is like a mixture of both. My great-great-grandfather was born in Foggia, got married, and had his children there. But of course I never knew any of them from Foggia. God Bless you Nonna Gina !!! It would be so cool if we were related !!
