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!

Lobster Tail Recipe
Lobster Tail Dough:
Yield: 32 pieces lobster tails
8.75 cups all purpose flour
2.5 cups water
1 tbsp kosher salt
3 to 4 cups shortening, vegetable
-----
Method:
Place flour, water, and salt into a stand mixer with a dough hook, mix on low speed until a uniform dough is formed (15-20 min).
Lightly flour your work surface and place dough on it.
Roll the dough as thin as possible ( you can use a pasta machine) by hand and evenly across the table
Roll dough onto rolling pin and get set up for stretching.
Place dough in front and work beneath the dough and stretching it to transparent. (dough may tear a little, its ok, but not to much)
Beginning from the top, smear shortening over dough, start small and roll up the dough while stretching it out.
continue to roll it up until you have a 2 inch diameter and 3-4 feet wide roll. Smear shortening over entire roll.
Allow to rest 1.5-2.5 hours or covered overnight.
Allow to come up to room temp and stretch the dough to even out the roll and shrink the pieces down.
cut 4 inches off each end , then cut 3/4 inch slices of the roll to get the shell.
Lobster tail puff batter
1 cup water
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1 cup AP flour
4 ex-large eggs
------
Method:
Place water, butter, and salt into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat, add flour and continue to stir until a uniform soft dough is formed. No visible flour lumps should be present after cooking about 2 min. Transfer dough to mixer bowl fitted with paddle attachment. Turn on high and allow steam to reside. Once steam stops, but dough is still warm, add eggs one at a time allow each egg to absorb into the dough, scrape in between additions. Once all eggs are added, scrape again, and get ready to use with lobster tails.
