You make me so homesick................ I've made miles of pasta, a truck-load of pastries and cry because I miss my grandparents, the great grandparents and my mother.. I just want to tell you how great it is to remember.
I agree that sfogliatelle is the best. I learned how to make it. It is a long process and needs two people when stretching the dough. You can tell if the pastry is made fresh when you bite into it. If you can bite through the pastry cleanly without pulling the layers apart then it is freshly made. If not, then it is factory made. I grew up in New York eating the finest Italian pastries made outside of Italy. Ariola Pastry Shop in Queens, New York was the place to buy your pastries. On Sundays when my Italian Aunties would come to visit they always came with a large box filled with these pastries. My second favourite is ricotta filled cannoli. The shell has to be crispy but firm enough not to shatter into pieces when you bite into it. Cavallaro & Sons in Footscray outside of Melbourne have been making the best cannoli since the 1950’s. Thank you for highlighting these fabulous Italian pastries. You have transported me back to my childhood and beautiful memories of my Neapolitan aunties and their gifts of Italian pastries.
My dad loved Italian rum cake. I like lobster tails. Lobster tails are similar to sfogliatelle but not as hard or crunchy. They are filled with eight pastry cream, whipped cream, canoli cream.
Watching you eat all those pastries just makes me wanna go to Italy and eat them all and try them all out. Thank you for showing us the beautiful Italian pastries. I will see you soon.
Heavenly. Thank you for introducing pure concentrated Italian love to us in this way. Bucket list became longer now. But, you weren't eating it "with us" but "in front of us", probably driving everyone crazy and drooling
I live in Greece and I try once a year to take the ferry to Puglia Bari or Brindisi just to have pasticcioto!!! And of course espresso leccese! I hope someday you will make a video down south in Salento!
I love sfogliatelle, or at least the ones I ate in Naples (sorry, Napoli!) with the creamy candied peel filling. I also had a similar thing with thin slices of peaches in it - squisita!
Love the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing UA-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest all thos Pastries looks so yummy and delicious it’s hard for me to pick my favourite but I will try them all
Italians must have a different metabolism from people of Northern European origin! My ex-Italian girlfriend ate pastries for breakfast. She wasn't fat or about to develop diabetes, but to me that appeared really, really strange. Same with Italian hotel breakfasts. At best you get some fruit, cornflakes and a slice of prosciutto. Here in Scandinavia (and in countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland) the norm is to eat a healthy first meal of the day that fills you up with nourishment so you can fish cod, cut down trees, play ice hockey and assemble Volvos all day long! I never criticised my Italian girlfriend for her breakfast habits, but I still fail to understand how she could get off to work each morning on just coffee and empty calories. Italians have a lot of important things to teach the rest of the world in the area of food, but perhaps they should learn the benefits of müsli, herring, mackerel and rye bread from us who live north of the Alps? No, the more I think about it, the more convinced I get Italians actually do have different metabolisms. 😂
Lovely! I don’t like too much sweetness. But one thing I came to think of, I think it was the second pastry. The love of my life is not big of alcohol, but she loves Amarretto with two cherries 😀
Vincenzo youve pulled me arm i bet i just bet Brunetti in Carlton will be most happy to make these master pieces upon request. Im gonna book my next flight down to Melbourne to try my luck cheers
Cannoli will always be my favorite. In my home town we had a Cannoli maker, incredibly talented Italian family. It got write ups from the NY times and its across the country from NY. Their grandkids have taken over and kept the quality up. Its hard to beat nostalgia sometimes.
I love your idea of a series exploring regional pastries! Italy has so many hidden gems, from the lesser-known ones to the classic favorites. Each region has its own twist, and I’d be so excited to share those delicious discoveries with you. 😊
My favourite was the Baba Al Rhum which is unbelieveably good in Napoli, my second favourite is the Sfogliatelle Napoletane, nothing beats that crunchiness and the ones I had in Napoli had both Crema di Arancia e Limone and I could eat them every day of my life given the opportunity which sadly after my Italian wife passed away and I had to go back to live in Scotland I cannot find them anywhere near the same quality as we ate them in Napoli...
❤Vincenzo❤ ~ CLEARLY your BEST video! Holy Cannoli! I loved watching you eat all the beautiful Italian pastries! The decadent pastry creams are my favorite...... and, anything lemon I love too. I love a Cannoli, however, I don't like the chocolate chips inside 😊 The layered crunchy one - forgot the name - you said is difficult to make with cream inside - omg so good! The last one - deep fried brioche with the filling..... mmmmm.... I have made Bocconotti with different fillings, I have many different mold shapes. I'll be making some for Valentine's Day on 2/14/25 for the priests. Your array of one of a kind fantastic Italian Pastries are ALL mouthwatering! I was looking for your Espresso or Cappuccino nearby....... Vincenzo - YOUR BEST VIDEO! ❤ THANK YOU!
I'm so glad you loved the video! It's amazing to see how much passion you have for these traditional pastries! Which one is your absolute favorite?🇮🇹❤️
My favourite is Babà :) I was also in Sardinia last September and tried a pastry called Sebadas, a type of fried cheese drizzled with honey...delicious!
There is nothing like a having a great Italian bakery nearby. We are fortunate to have one with an extensive selection of pastries. The one you saved for last looked pretty amazing.
I made Pasta allo Scarpariello with Cherry Tomatoes for the first time today. I had to hit our local Italian grocery and bakery store to get Mezzi Paccheri pasta. We grabbed two cannolis and a zeppole for dessert.
I ate a couple of Italian pastries from a Italian bakery don't remember what it was just had a lot of cream. Added some ketchup on top and started eating it was delicious. Even the Italian baker was very excited about me enjoying it. He was shouting in Italian with his arms and hands moving around in the air.
Adoro le sfogliatelle! I like to heat them up a bit before I at them. But who can resist cannoli? I'm lucky to have several great Italian bakeries near my town. And we're a short train ride to Little Italy in Manhattan, and a car ride to the even better one in the Bronx. But, you are correct, nothing beats the sfogliatelle in Sorrento, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast. Grazie, Vincenzo.
You showed me so many wonderful pastries! I live in Southern Idaho and we have no Italian bakeries. Growing up in NJ and studying baking, you have destroyed me! Haha. Oh my word! 😅
Vincenzo I like your UA-cam TV show you are traditional towards the Italian culture thank you so much I am the son of immigrants from Sicily masala my father couple years back created the lris recipe at home he taught me how to make the Italian pastry for the holidays thank you and keep up the good work..
The crostatina is my favourite, i did a gran fondo cycling event in italy with the finish at the top of (the most beautiful climb of) the stelvio. there they had all kind of snacks & drinks for the finishers, one of them was crostatina (with the grape filling), i think i ate four of them.
Great video showcasing many pastries from Italy. Too bad you couldn't include the graffa. I agree with you La sfogliatella is my favorite one followed by the baba'
@@vincenzosplate i'm not a fan of sweets so even if I'm living in Milano right now I've only tried the sfogliatelle and the cornetto, but the maritozzo looks amazing!
I agree that sfogliatelle are the best of the best. I grew up in NYC, and I had access to these. These have always been my favorite. In later years I have developed a wheat intolerance, but when I was in Naples last year, this was the one thing that I knew I had to eat and not worry about the consequences. Did you happen to catch the episode of the Australian Baking Show several years back when this was the technical challenge? It was funny because none of them had any idea of what it was and what they were doing.
❤❤Vincenzo❤❤ 2.0 ~ I'm back! Thank you for your response! I will admit, I could not remember every pastry name you ate in the initial video so I had to go back, watch again, and this time I took notes because you're asking so diligently "What pastry is your favorite?" I have many things to say about all 10 - BUT - I will say that I love anything filled with Italian Pastry Cream AND anything with Lemon Filling (like you 😊) Pastry is my thing! Just so I don't bore you with my 'sweet' comments: I'll say I LOVE the Maritozzo AND The Bocconotto. How can you just pick one? I do love them ALL! Just like you do. THANK YOU, VINCENZO (also my brother's name)...... however, how did I miss not mentioning The Sfogiatelle? Crunchy, flaky crust..... Mmmmmmmm (Baba is too soggy for me 😊)..... But wait!!! - That lovely mini Grape Jam mini tart Crostitini....Mmmmmmmm.... Wait! What about Lovely Iris?! Mmmmmmmm...... LOL! Love you, Vincenzo! Hugs & Kisses, Maria - USA - Ohio
i like sfogliatella, pasticchiotto and Cornetto. I have been to Amalfi coast and eaten the sfogliatella. the rest of these two have I eaten in Puglia. the pasticchiotto have I eaten, for example in Galatina( Provincia Di Lecce)
@ the pastry shell itself seems to be a tour de force of the bakers art. I especially enjoy the crunchy texture unlike any others pastry. The nutty flavor of that shell works very well with the ricotta/semolina filling.
Hi Vincenzo, My local Italian Bakery here in Toronto Canada offers Zeppole very frequently especially on Joseph’s/Josephine name day. My wifes’ name is Josie so we always get a dozen on that day.
Hi Vincenzo, here in Milano are very popular also: cannoncino, veneziana, ventaglio, saccottino (con cioccolato), chiacchiere (or frappe, but we eat them only on Carnival), budino di riso. In our region also torrone, sbrisolona, and many others. In Tuscany, where my family comes from, cantucci are very popular
You’ve named some of the absolute gems of Italian pastries! 😍 Milan definitely knows how to do indulgence right cannoncini and saccottini are pure bliss.
Is good day Vincenzo. I grew up enjoying all of the pastries that I saw here today. However , my favorites are torta di mandorle and pignolle cookies. I have a question: If this is what Italians eat for breakfast every day how do they not weigh as much as a house?😂😂😂😂😂
Cannoli are my favorite! My nonno used to make those on christmas. Since my family lives in switzerland and not in sicily anymore, it's always a please when we get something like this.
My request is, can you show us how to make these? Our grandparents are gone now and they took their secrets with them so it’s up to you Vincenzo. No pressure just an idea. Thanks for the video. It was great.
Thank you for the kind words! It would be such an honor to keep those traditions alive-I’ll definitely consider sharing a recipe. It’s amazing how much love and memory go into these pastries. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
I GREW UP WITH MY FRIENDS MEXICAN CULTURE SO THEIR BREADS & PASTRIES AND MY GOOSSSHHHH NOW THOSE ARE LIKE ( SUGAR TO THE 1OTH POWER ) ON SWEETS AND DELICIOUSNESS AND THE ONE'S THAT ARE MADE AND COOKED WITH ALCOHOL DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED THAT'S WHAT SOME OF THESE REMIND ME OF I KNEW ABOUT ALL THOSE EXPECT FOR 3 OF THEM MUST BE ON MY LIST TO TRY SOMETIME LATER THIS YEAR THANKS CENZO ✌🏼OUT
Haha, Mexican pastries are definitely in a league of their own-so sweet and full of flavor! 🧁🍮 I love how food connects us to different cultures. Adding some Italian pastries to your list sounds like a delicious adventure. Let me know which ones you try and how they compare! ✌🏼😊
@@vincenzosplate I wonder if any sleep-deprived Italians ever accidentally substitute the one for the other. Not that a pastry covered with parmigiano would necessarily be bad! Pasta covered with powdered sugar, on the other hand.... 🤢
Italians in my experience of them, eat good quality food and cakes, pastries are a rare treat. They also don't load them with sugar so a little icing sugar is fine in moderation
Maybe I will make a second part of this video next year when I visit Italy again! We have so many delicious pastries, it's hard to squeeze them all in one video!
@vincenzosplate cows milk is generally it. You can occassionally get goats. I would love to get sheeps milk because I make my own cheese at home. Would love to make Pecorino. But as I said sheeps milk is very difficult to get. But I noe make my own Parmigiano with raw cows milk.
Not that there were any regrets whilst Lizzie and I were In Italy, but the one thing that I am dissapointed we didnt get to try was Cannoli. My fault completely, too busy running around to Irish Pubs and Gelato shops. At least it is some kind of feat, drinking a Guinness (or more) in every Irish Pub in Rome, Florence, Avenzzano, and a Murphys Stout on Pescara. This was my desert🤣
You gave me a good idea for next year tours. I have to make sure I serve cannoli during the week. You definitely didnt need cannoli with all the treats you had hahahahaha every hour of you day was covered with treats and nights with the guinness 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@vincenzosplate on the morning of the day we went to Semivicoli Castle we had two girella ciocco and 2 coffees. €6.2 or AUD$10. If we got this back home, not much change out of AUD$30
@vincenzosplate I don't think my mum realised , she also used to buy me baby cham and snowballs for Christmas I'm surprised I'm not an alcoholic 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm tea total, but I think i can just one rum baba for old times sake😁
I like to think I'm a rather decent cook, particularly Italian as I was taught by my step-granny who was Sicilian and attended Cordon Bleu in Florence, Italy, I'll never be as good a cook as she was but I get by. My main weakness however is baking desserts, I have to buy them for the most part although I learned to make a damn fine tiramisu as it's my favourite, lucky for me there's an authentic Italian bakery 2 blocks away called Hildegard's that makes every Italian sweet pastry I could possibly have a craving for, they even have a woodburning brick oven to make pizzas on weekends, best Italian pastries and pizza in Winnipeg.
I have to make a gelato cake for my cousin's daughter's birthday next month. They always get her an ice cream cake but I said "How come there aren't gelato cakes? I bet I could make one." and the kid's all "I want pineapple and raspberry and mango", she really wants it so now I have to at least make the attempt. I've looked up recipes but I'm more of a visual learner, I have to see somebody make one from scratch.
The babà was introduced in Naples during the Napoleon rule but while in France is called savarin filled with fruit or custard in Italy it's prepared only with rum syrup and some times with some whipped cream on top
Iris donuts are huge sellers at Tim Hortons, when people get boxes of mix & match items there's always a few iris donuts in the mix. Whenever I'd bring a box of Tim's donuts and Tim Bits to work for the crew there were often heated arguments and nasty words exchanged over the last iris donut, it's not a polite thing like the last slice of pizza that everyone politely declines and end up as a cold 2am snack, people get territorial over that last creamy donut.

This made me so happy! Pastry is a celebration of life. Thank you for being so strong and enduring this torture! 😂
You make me so homesick................ I've made miles of pasta, a truck-load of pastries and cry because I miss my grandparents, the great grandparents and my mother.. I just want to tell you how great it is to remember.
You're making me homesick for Italy too! I love how food can take us back to special moments and loved ones.

I can definitely relate to your fondness for fresh, homemade sfogliatelle! The crispness of a freshly made pastry is truly something special.

Well I wish you guys were with me while eating them, but that's physically impossible! So this is the closest I can get to "eating with you" 😅😊
Thank you for this☺️I was looking for Italian pastries to try.
You're welcome! Which of them do you think will be your favorite? 🇮🇹
I live in Greece and I try once a year to take the ferry to Puglia Bari or Brindisi just to have pasticcioto!!! And of course espresso leccese! I hope someday you will make a video down south in Salento!

Baba is now on my list of new things to try. It seems right up my alley!!
I think they’d all change my life!😁
Hahahaahha they certainly will 😍
They surely change my day! When I start my day with a coffee and an Italian pastry, it immediately becomes the best day ever! 🤩

These pastries aren't too sweet in fact! I'm sure you'd enjoy eating them 😊
Are you a savoury guy? I love sweets but ate way too mucb sugar in this video hahahaha amaretto with cherries is delicious. Have a great weekend
Vincenzo youve pulled me arm i bet i just bet Brunetti in Carlton will be most happy to make these master pieces upon request. Im gonna book my next flight down to Melbourne to try my luck cheers
Love the video ❤
I am glad you enjoyed it! What's your favorite pastry?
It was so enjoyable watching you enjoying these amazing pastries. I am salivating ❤❤❤
Thank you 😋 Which of these pastries is your favorite?
I think it is 14 years I don’t eat the zeppole…I miss them
Cannoli will always be my favorite. In my home town we had a Cannoli maker, incredibly talented Italian family. It got write ups from the NY times and its across the country from NY. Their grandkids have taken over and kept the quality up. Its hard to beat nostalgia sometimes.
Yes also..Cassata siciliana it’s so good in the wintertime when it’s cold outside and the sugar melts in the mouth 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️
You can't go wrong with a cornetto. I'd love to see this turned into a series where you also introduce us to the more obscure regional ones.
I love your idea of a series exploring regional pastries! Italy has so many hidden gems, from the lesser-known ones to the classic favorites. Each region has its own twist, and I’d be so excited to share those delicious discoveries with you. 😊
All great stuff, Vincenzo. My two favorites in Sicily are Cartoccino’s and a Iris filled with ricotta.
Sicily has some of the best Italian pastries. I wish calories didn't exist, I could eat pastries like this everyday 😂
I was in Sicily for 4 weeks last year and put on 2kg. Yet none of my family are over weight, I just can’t get enough when I there😀
I would have to say Sicily has the best pastry shops I’ve ever seen. People rave about French pastries, France has nothing on Italy 😉
My favourite was the Baba Al Rhum which is unbelieveably good in Napoli, my second favourite is the Sfogliatelle Napoletane, nothing beats that crunchiness and the ones I had in Napoli had both Crema di Arancia e Limone and I could eat them every day of my life given the opportunity which sadly after my Italian wife passed away and I had to go back to live in Scotland I cannot find them anywhere near the same quality as we ate them in Napoli...
OMG, I've been waiting for an episode like this🥳
Did you enjoy it?😁
YES! I'd like one of each of these, please! They all look amazing! 😍😍😍😍
I wish I could send you some my friend! They sent me to heaven while eating them 🤩
@@vincenzosplate Yes! I wish you could send me these too!
Those all look delicious 😋 though I think that Vincenzo started going a little crazy from the sugar towards the end 🤣
I love anything lemon. And that looked like an Amarena cherry. Yum.

Me gusta mucho la comida italiana Todas, absolutely number one ❤👍
I want to eat all of this!!!! Looks incredibly tasty.
My mouth is watering while watching this video! I wish I was back in Italy 🤤❤️🩹
I missed paste di mandorla. I love them❤❤
Sfogliatelle. Instant Like for the video.
Thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me❤
My belly is RUMBLING over this sweets😂❤
I wish I could send you some my friend! Which one looked the most delicious to you?❤️
@vincenzosplate allllllll❤️
But I like the look of the pastry that has cream and cherry and the pastry resemble a big brandy snap❤️
. . . And thank you for making that pain-staking video where you are ALL TEN WONDERFUL Italian Pastries! 😢 - I'm sorry you had to eat them ALL!!! 😂😂😂
There is nothing like a having a great Italian bakery nearby. We are fortunate to have one with an extensive selection of pastries. The one you saved for last looked pretty amazing.
I wish I had one in Australia though! This video was filmed during the Summer in Italy and I already miss these divine pastries!
I made Pasta allo Scarpariello with Cherry Tomatoes for the first time today. I had to hit our local Italian grocery and bakery store to get Mezzi Paccheri pasta.
We grabbed two cannolis and a zeppole for dessert.

It's amazing how food brings families together. I hope you continue to enjoy making those pastries!
The crostatina is my favourite, i did a gran fondo cycling event in italy with the finish at the top of (the most beautiful climb of) the stelvio. there they had all kind of snacks & drinks for the finishers, one of them was crostatina (with the grape filling), i think i ate four of them.
The rum one is a must try
Especially if you enjoy the alcohol kick! 🤩
Great video showcasing many pastries from Italy. Too bad you couldn't include the graffa. I agree with you La sfogliatella is my favorite one followed by the baba'
Graffa is a very good one too, I’ll make sure to include it in a future video, I love it too!❤️
very cool idea, as an amateur cook trying to learn my favourite italian recipes :)
Happy to hear that you found this video informative! Have you tried any of these pastries? 😊
@@vincenzosplate i'm not a fan of sweets so even if I'm living in Milano right now I've only tried the sfogliatelle and the cornetto, but the maritozzo looks amazing!
Oh my gosh thank you for doing this difficult task for us 😅 you are truly a soldier of good eats!! This is Koala Hugs by the way! Changed my username
Hahaha I hope I am a soldier of protecting Italian food and culture! I'm happy you enjoyed this video as much as I did while filming it! 🇮🇹
I'm so jealous right now 😂 enjoy 😂
I wish I could send you some my friend! Which ones do you think you'd like the most?
We ate a Baba rum in The Galleria in Naples! Wow! It was amazing. It was served in a paper cone/cup. I had a hard time talking after that one! 😂
Hahahahaahahha I can imagine how you felt especially if you ate it for breakfast 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah man Vincenzo. Those pastries looks yummy. Now I have to go to my Italian pastry shop for a Canoli
Cannoli cravings are real! 😄 There's just something irresistible about that crispy shell and creamy filling. What's your favorite flavor to get?
@vincenzosplate My favourite Cannoli is the Chocolate chips, and Ricotta. There's none better tasting than the original.
OMG another wonderful video destined to ruin my typical coffee-only morning routine 😅
I’m so glad my videos are making you want to add some sweetness to your mornings! 😋
Hmmm I think I enjoy them all, yummy I says 😋
These are the best of the best my friend! I wish they made them as good as in Italy even in Australia! I miss having a pastry each day 🤩
I agree that sfogliatelle are the best of the best. I grew up in NYC, and I had access to these. These have always been my favorite.

It's a tough job but someone's got to do it! 👍👍
I had to make this sacrifice for you guys 😂😂😂
I loooooove sfogliatelle!!
Yes they are the best
Sfogliatella from Mary’s in Napoli fresh out of the oven Mmmm 😋 and a close 2nd, ricotta cannoli from Cavallaro’s in Footscray 👌🏼

Omg, that lemon 🍋
I would love to import these pastries to my country. “Love them”
Please tell me you live in Australia becaue I'd love to have these pasteies imported here😂
Amigo! When you took a bite I took one also 😂 looks great. Reminds my childhood in Mexico
Haha, I’m glad you were enjoying the video with me! What pastry reminded you of Mexico?
@ the baba one 🤣
Sfogliadelle is absolutely my most favorite pastry. Would love to learn how to make them.
It’s definitely a labor of love to make, but so rewarding. I’ll see if I can share a recipe soon! What made it your favorite? 🥐
@ the pastry shell itself seems to be a tour de force of the bakers art. I especially enjoy the crunchy texture unlike any others pastry. The nutty flavor of that shell works very well with the ricotta/semolina filling.
I know them all. I am very often in Italy. Very good is graffe napoletane❤❤❤
Oh yeah, they are some of the best🤩🤩
Hi Vincenzo,
My local Italian Bakery here in Toronto Canada offers Zeppole very frequently especially on Joseph’s/Josephine name day. My wifes’ name is Josie so we always get a dozen on that day.
I love that you have a tradition with Zeppole for your wife! That sounds delicious!
Iris is also called krapfen 😊 they do it magically in Poland
Hi Vincenzo, here in Milano are very popular also:
cannoncino, veneziana, ventaglio, saccottino (con cioccolato), chiacchiere (or frappe, but we eat them only on Carnival), budino di riso.
In our region also torrone, sbrisolona, and many others.
In Tuscany, where my family comes from, cantucci are very popular
You’ve named some of the absolute gems of Italian pastries! 😍 Milan definitely knows how to do indulgence right cannoncini and saccottini are pure bliss.
Is good day Vincenzo. I grew up enjoying all of the pastries that I saw here today. However , my favorites are torta di mandorle and pignolle cookies. I have a question: If this is what Italians eat for breakfast every day how do they not weigh as much as a house?😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite is pasticcioto🥰
Cannoli are my favorite! My nonno used to make those on christmas. Since my family lives in switzerland and not in sicily anymore, it's always a please when we get something like this.
My favorite as well especially when Nonna makes it👍
That's so sweet, I love that you guys keep up those traditions❤️🇮🇹
My request is, can you show us how to make these? Our grandparents are gone now and they took their secrets with them so it’s up to you Vincenzo. No pressure just an idea. Thanks for the video. It was great.
Thank you for the kind words! It would be such an honor to keep those traditions alive-I’ll definitely consider sharing a recipe. It’s amazing how much love and memory go into these pastries. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
While living in Florence Italy, my favorite were the croissants with nutella at the secret bakeries, where they are fresh at like 1am or 2am.
Have you ever tried making your own Nutella-filled croissants at home? It could be a fun way to relive those late-night memories! 🍫🥐
@vincenzosplate Any good recipes? Not sure anything can compare to those! Fresh and warm, just made.
Sugar is the least of our problems right now.
Bring it on!
Haahahhahahaha sugar brings happiness but in moderation 😂
I GREW UP WITH MY FRIENDS MEXICAN CULTURE SO THEIR BREADS & PASTRIES AND MY GOOSSSHHHH NOW THOSE ARE LIKE ( SUGAR TO THE 1OTH POWER ) ON SWEETS AND DELICIOUSNESS AND THE ONE'S THAT ARE MADE AND COOKED WITH ALCOHOL DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED THAT'S WHAT SOME OF THESE REMIND ME OF I KNEW ABOUT ALL THOSE EXPECT FOR 3 OF THEM MUST BE ON MY LIST TO TRY SOMETIME LATER THIS YEAR THANKS CENZO ✌🏼OUT
Haha, Mexican pastries are definitely in a league of their own-so sweet and full of flavor! 🧁🍮 I love how food connects us to different cultures. Adding some Italian pastries to your list sounds like a delicious adventure. Let me know which ones you try and how they compare! ✌🏼😊
Italians sure love their powdered sugar on their pastry 😂
Its our favorite white powder after grated pecorino or parmigiano 😂
Covers a multitude of sins
@@vincenzosplate I wonder if any sleep-deprived Italians ever accidentally substitute the one for the other. Not that a pastry covered with parmigiano would necessarily be bad! Pasta covered with powdered sugar, on the other hand.... 🤢
Italians in my experience of them, eat good quality food and cakes, pastries are a rare treat. They also don't load them with sugar so a little icing sugar is fine in moderation
Video idea: tasting of pizza chain restaurants
Great idea
I don't see any connection between the leavened puff pastry and the brioche recipe. They have nothing in common, but it's okay, interesting video
Vincenzo, you should show the delicious Abruzzese ferratelle!! 🙂🙂
Maybe I will make a second part of this video next year when I visit Italy again! We have so many delicious pastries, it's hard to squeeze them all in one video!
A very popular pastry along the Amalfi Coast, where lemons are a way of life, is "Delizia al Limone."
Next time, how about featuring it?
I wish sheep's milk was more popular here in Maine and anywhere in the USA.
Very difficult to find.
@@ckokkola1 Totally agree.
Its very hard to find anywhere outside of italy. Here in australia we can find the frozen ricotta sheep from italy but not the same
That's such a pity! Which milk do you use the most in the States?
@@vincenzosplatecow.
@vincenzosplate cows milk is generally it. You can occassionally get goats.
I would love to get sheeps milk because I make my own cheese at home.
Would love to make Pecorino. But as I said sheeps milk is very difficult to get.
But I noe make my own Parmigiano with raw cows milk.
Da abruzzese apprezzo che hai messo il bocconotto! Alla prossima il caggionetto ahah
Come non potevo meterlo!! Sono un Abruzzese anch'io e ne vado fiero! 🇮🇹
Not that there were any regrets whilst Lizzie and I were In Italy, but the one thing that I am dissapointed we didnt get to try was Cannoli. My fault completely, too busy running around to Irish Pubs and Gelato shops. At least it is some kind of feat, drinking a Guinness (or more) in every Irish Pub in Rome, Florence, Avenzzano, and a Murphys Stout on Pescara. This was my desert🤣
You gave me a good idea for next year tours. I have to make sure I serve cannoli during the week. You definitely didnt need cannoli with all the treats you had hahahahaha every hour of you day was covered with treats and nights with the guinness 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guiness for that true italian experience
@@vincenzosplate on the morning of the day we went to Semivicoli Castle we had two girella ciocco and 2 coffees. €6.2 or AUD$10. If we got this back home, not much change out of AUD$30
Where did you get these beautiful pastries? My go to is papas here in Sydney but would love to know where you go to Vincenzo.
I filmed this video when I was in Italy during the Summer my friend. I wish I could find them even in Australia but I've had no luck so far ❤️🩹🥲
@vincenzosplate I know papas has some of those pastries but not all of them. Definitely need to keep an eye out for those pastries.
I am sitting here in Campobasso, and I can taste what you are tasting with each bite
This means that these beautiful pastries have left a lasting memory to you! Which of them is your absolute favorite? 😊
Yum had rum baba when I was a little girl😊
How little? They have alcohol in them and aren't very child-friendly 😂
@vincenzosplate I don't think my mum realised , she also used to buy me baby cham and snowballs for Christmas I'm surprised I'm not an alcoholic 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm tea total, but I think i can just one rum baba for old times sake😁
Series idea... regional dishes. Each episode dives into the most popular things to try in each area
That's such an interesting idea! Let me see what I can do 😁
@vincenzosplate that way I can stop pestering my Italian colleague when visiting Italy XD
I like to think I'm a rather decent cook, particularly Italian as I was taught by my step-granny who was Sicilian and attended Cordon Bleu in Florence, Italy, I'll never be as good a cook as she was but I get by.
My main weakness however is baking desserts, I have to buy them for the most part although I learned to make a damn fine tiramisu as it's my favourite, lucky for me there's an authentic Italian bakery 2 blocks away called Hildegard's that makes every Italian sweet pastry I could possibly have a craving for, they even have a woodburning brick oven to make pizzas on weekends, best Italian pastries and pizza in Winnipeg.
I have to make a gelato cake for my cousin's daughter's birthday next month. They always get her an ice cream cake but I said "How come there aren't gelato cakes? I bet I could make one." and the kid's all "I want pineapple and raspberry and mango", she really wants it so now I have to at least make the attempt. I've looked up recipes but I'm more of a visual learner, I have to see somebody make one from scratch.
Hildegard? Isn't that a Germanic or Scandinavian name? Seems like they'd go for a more traditional name
You are lucky to have an Italian bakery so close by! Hildegard's sounds amazing. I bet their pizza is delicious too!
my favorite is the crostatine with apricot marmalade
My mouth is watering just thinking of it 🤤
Vincenzo, do a pasta alla zozzona recipe video pls ❤
I have already posted one my friend! Please search for it in my YT channel, or you can check my website at www.vincenzosplate.com
I grew up in Newark NJ and my Italian grandmother made Zeppole's
Did you use to make them for Father's day too? 😍
The one with lemonciello cream!
The babà was introduced in Naples during the Napoleon rule but while in France is called savarin filled with fruit or custard in Italy it's prepared only with rum syrup and some times with some whipped cream on top
It’s amazing how each country has its own twist on this classic! Have you tried both the Italian babà and the French savarin? 😊
Savarin and Baba are the same dough the difference is the shape
Savarin is a ring, and Baba is the muffin shape
Iris donuts are huge sellers at Tim Hortons, when people get boxes of mix & match items there's always a few iris donuts in the mix. Whenever I'd bring a box of Tim's donuts and Tim Bits to work for the crew there were often heated arguments and nasty words exchanged over the last iris donut, it's not a polite thing like the last slice of pizza that everyone politely declines and end up as a cold 2am snack, people get territorial over that last creamy donut.
I read that as "Oh my so much gosh sugar"
But this looks like the typical sweet pastries in all Aussie and Kiwi bakeries.
Haha, you're not wrong! They're definitely full of sweetness. But there's a reason they're so beloved! 😊
Zeppole di san Giuseppe is so underrated
Sfogliatelle is my fav.
They are so light and tasty! The perfect way to start the day 😂
Sicuramente hai provato delizia limone a Napoli o Sorrento. Se no, provi!! È fantastico!!
