Thank you for joining me again. Recipe is here on my site www.kylieflavell.com/index.php/2021/12/04/christmas-fruit-mince-pies/. If you have a question about the music I use, I generally purchase every track you hear in my work from special production music sites so they’re not available to the public unless you want to pay $50 or $70 a track and when I download them for one-time use, I get a code with no details of the artist. 🎶 😊 Please do let me know if you have any requests for recipes for the next Christmas episodes! 🎄😘 Xxx Kylie
Thank you so much!!!you are truly a blessing to us alll,I'm in awww of everything you do,bring to your content-such a joy for me to take a break from my reality into yours ❤️🙏🏻🎄
Hi Kylie, yummie, looking forward to bake them myself! Can you give me some examples of these special music production sites? Thanks and Buon Natale! 😘
Kylie, getting such a compliment from an elderly famous worldly gent walking on the red carpet with the media filming is such an honest evaluation of how he was taken by your great beauty emulating with your sweet spirit; rather than from a young man perhaps just wanting a romance for the evening! thank you so much for sharing with us your holiday spirit, I wish you and Guido and all whom you love much health and happiness shared in a world of peace! xoxoxoxox
I remember my Grandmother, ( who was English), telling me a story about all she got for Christmas was an orange. She held it in her hand and smelled it over and over, then cut a hole and sucked out the juice before slowly peeling it. I always gave my kids an orange as a reminder of how something so insignificant to them was the world to another person.
Kylie, Being called Bellissima by Alain Delon is just fabulous. He is such an icon in France. These mince tartlets look delicious, I will add to my dessert table. I like the Provençal tradition of the ''Treize desserts'' or 13 desserts which include fruits like apple, clementine, orange, red and green grapes, dried figs, almonds, brioche such as panettone, white and dark nougat or torrone, fougasse (orange blossom and candied fruit flat cake) and one or two other cakes or cookies. My children were saying that I was cheating with all the fruit and nuts but they are part of this delicious tradition. Happy baking!
Thank you for yet another beautiful video! My mama told a story of being a child in Lithuania in the 30s and receiving an orange for Christmas. A never before seen luxury. My mama so prized it that she put it in her clothes drawer, treasured it, until, alas, she found it moldy! Hard for us to comprehend in this day and age of so much, how valued a simple, yet precious fruit, could be. I love your recognition of beauty found in the "simplest" of things.
I am an American, and in my family, every Christmas the children of our family receive an apple, an orange and a chocolate from my grandparents. Once they're gone, I plan to continue it!
My mom is British born with Italian born parents and she married an American during WWII, my brother and I had an orange, apple, a few whole nuts and a few chocolate coins in our stocking growing up. I used to do that for my son when he was a boy. Fond memories 🎄
Kylie, I just love your videos. Your filming and editing is a gift you have. Each one is a labor of love and more like a movie. Could watch you and your family in Tuscany all day long. Thankyou for this gift that slows me down in a hurried world. Excellent
Fruit minced meat pies are such a fabulous gift at Christmas, and your recipe is how my Mother and I first made it. I have not made it in many years. The idea of using a muffin tin is absolutely brilliant. I am inspired. I have friends in my life that appreciate great food and the artistry of adding love and joy into it! Being invited for Christmas Eve supper, it was requested I bring dessert and suggested a fruit pie, thinking maybe cherrie or peach, but this is what I will make for them, for sure! Thank you for the beauty you bring into our lives!
I’m so excited for your weekly Christmas videos!! I was supposed to visit Tuscany several years back, but I bought myself a house instead. Perhaps someday I’ll make it there; when the world returns to normal and travel is easier and safer. Your pies look delicious and preparing them in a vintage red dress, stunning! You can never go wrong sticking to an elegant, classic fashion. I hope you have another festive occasion to wear to, besides your kitchen, this season. I once attended a party where a now deceased, former US President was in attendance. He was definitely quite a bit older than I. Still, he complimented me calling me beautiful; very innocently (no ulterior motive). Knowing how many people he had met in his lifetime and all of the countries he had traveled to, I could only take it as a very genuine compliment and thanked him, respectfully. I look forward to seeing you decorate your tree, bake gingerbread or show us some of the stunning holiday locations/decorations where you live. I can practically smell your mince pies baking. Thank you for sharing. You’ve no idea how much happiness you’re bringing to people. Merry Christmas to you, Guido & your families. 🎄 🇮🇹
Why should you consider a compliment by an older man to be "Not be worth much" A man who has moved among many beautiful women in his long life...that's one hell of a compliment Kylie. xxx
Adore the story about the red dress - what a memory, an impressive synchronicity between what your past had been leading up to that moment, and what your future would hold...and now here you are, falling in love and living the best life in the country that stole your imagination and your heart (while still rocking that red dress of dreams, of your beautiful reality)!
You look beautiful in e red silk dress and after you told us the phenomenal history of it, you carry the fabulous energy of it. And it makes your baking even magic!!!! Thank you for sharing such lovely experience.
I just love the story behind the dress! Thank you for sharing. It’s beautiful. You are so inspiring. It’s how gentle and thought you are with each project, recipe or story.
The pot belly fireplace coals, music, the ambient lighting, the Florence Christmas scenes, the spectacular red dress, the story about the hot looking actor!!, the roses 🌹, the ingredients, the pestle & mortar & nutmeg, the fine chopping by handy with the sharp knife, painted nails, the light citrusy pie crust, the detailed leaves, wreath, heart, powdered sugar are so inviting & warm & loving & created with your heart & with love!!!!! Soooooo very much appreciated by me & countless viewers! Bravissima Bella Kylie, Brava! Ciao for now🇮🇹🌹🎄🐞Vita Maria
Yes. When I was young, in the snow covered ground of Michigan, we were thrilled to get any kind of citrus in our stockings! Peanuts and Brazil nuts were my favorite. Your video was so Inchanting! Loved your pretty dress..
Oh Kylie this made me feel so festive. This year is the first we're celebrating with my baby son. My mother and sister are coming from overseas and I know you understand just how special that will be. To me Christmas is the beauty of little moments. Walking in the woods near our house, lighting candles in the windows, listening to my mother sing carols. When I was a child on Christmas eve and tucked up in bed she would dress all in white and come into my room singing silent night. To me she was an angel. I plan to do this for my son.
"He was very old by then, so it wasn't much of a compliment" Compliments from senior people don't count?! Given that gentleman's long life and experience with a lot of beautiful women, it seems that would have been a very special compliment indeed!--one you would have tucked away and kept close. Ask any senior and they'll likely tell you that, internally, they feel like the same person they were 50 or more years ago. They're just looking out on the world from an older form. Otherwise, a beautiful video, as always! (Have to say, though, I'm over 60, so I'm hoping, maybe, the comment still bears a little weight.)
@@lgrillo me too 🌷🕊 I would much rather a compliment like that, than from a 20 something yr old with no life experience at all. It is a true compliment. Indigenous communities value their elderly like precious gems, knowing they are the wisdom keepers, beautiful life stories interwoven throughout their DNA, that gives depth and grace, and in general, a younger person does not possess.
I don't think she meant it like that at all. She sounded extremely flattered, and clearly does hold that memory dearly. I felt like she meant that because older people sometimes tend to have more rose tinted judgments, and to be more generous, that maybe she didn't look as great as all that, but that he made her feel wonderful. Of course, we all know she could look amazing in a flour sack, so...
I’m so sorry - I think you’ve misunderstood. Clearly, I was smitten and impressed by this actor at any age, which is why the moment still holds such meaning for me and I recounted the whole story. I’m Australian and in my culture it appears boastful to speak about someone complimenting you so we try to play it down. Also, as someone else astutely wrote in the comments, I’m fully aware that at his age he has known some of the most beautiful women in the world and therefore was not actually coming onto me - just throwing out a casual compliment as an older gentleman who had no intention of taking things further than a smile. Ironically, my mention of his age was to be humble and contextualise things so it didn’t make me sound like I thought I’d made such a great impression on him. 😊
I miss my sweet beautiful Florence so much! Watching those images from Florence made me remember my time there, my mum who is still there and my cute dog who is also there! Cannot wait to go back there as that's my 'home'! I got all emotional watching! 😌 You looked amazing so Christmasy and I must say that I ADORE mince pies, here in UK I have them for breakfast (weird I know)! Wonderful job lovely Kylie! xx
mihaela, food really can 'trigger' our connectedness to our whole selves our past, it is all our whole self..which when revived in some way makes us feel whole, its very spritual thing. So you enjoying the beginning of the day with mince pie perhaps transports your self through gentle taste and smell to remember the place you so much love and yearn to feel again. I desire to visit Italy, Kylie's videos are evocative and nurturing, and inspiring. P.S I grew up in London and grew to love mince pies so much as well as the winter festivities even though I also celebrate my jewish faith. Blessings and Love to you, May you return many times to places you love, As they surely love you equally.❤Lia
What a beautiful compliment and what an honor. You look beautiful Kaylee lovely dress very classy. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us. So much enjoyed the music 🎶 praising our King.
Tears flowing like rain. Not sure why. Maybe missing Florence, my parents, aunt and uncle. Maybe it’s the simplicity and elegance that you bring to this holiday that always struck me as fake, even as a kid. My best memories are of my mom cooking all the special Italian dishes that came only once or twice every year and the way the house smelled. I am the youngest by many years so having the table filled with family was such a joy. Maybe it’s because I am in quarantine for 10 days with no taste or smell that I realized how much I take for granted the smell of citrus, spices and pastries baking in the oven. I’m thankful this is my only symptom and I plan to cherish each step of cooking, baking and eating when it returns. To stay in the moment and remember that THESE are the good old days (thank you Carly Simon). And thank YOU Kylie for the inspiration and hope you bring to me and all that watch you share your perspective. I am looking forward to more Christmas videos. ✌🏻♥️
Mince pies are my favorite Christmas treat! I had an aunt who used to make them all year and I’d sneak into the kitchen to get one before they were served! Lovely memories and a beautiful evocative video as always Kylie. Thank you 💗
There are some films that I love watching during this period of time to feel the atmosphere of Christmas, but your videos Kylie bring the sensation of holiday at our home just in 20 min! You are so wonderful, thank you for bringing so much joy to so many people all around the world!
Kylie.. I can’t believe you are doing this in that fabulous vintage slik dress! I’ve been holding my breath watching and praying nothing got on it! It’s stunning on you!
So appreciate the moments of calm, beauty n amazing sharing of stories from the past present n seeing the future of the villa. Now more than ever we need n cherish these moments!
Kylie, this did not disappoint! Such beauty, such delight, such magic! The food, Florence in all its glory, and the pops of red the from the magical red dress, to the roses. My heart is rich and full. Thank you so much for this video! This is quickly becoming one of my holiday traditions. Off to decorate my home now for the season.
Your dress still has the magic. Your #2 fan also had a great night(another Kylie video) Have been to Florence 8x and once at Christmas-amazing lights Hope Guido recognizes he is the luckiest guy on the face of the earth Merry Christmas!
Absolutely stunning!! You looked gorgeous in your dress!! I would be too nervous cooking or baking in silk!! You are brave:) I would love to see the whole dress!! So classically beautiful!! Wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed Christmas season!! 🎄💝
Hi Kylie, I'm coming back to this video in Nov 2022 to say I baked these yesterday together with your sticky date pudding recipe and have to say they are both DELICIOUS and I LOVE the recipes so much! I took the sticky date pudding with me to work and it was a hit with everyone there. I accidentally left the fruit mince pies a little bit too long so I'll know for next time but hey a little bit of a toasty-ness kinda works haha I just had to come on here and let you know I tried the recipe/s and how much I adore them now and thank you for sharing these recipes for us to enjoy. They will be a staple part of my Christmas going forward, thanks Kylie
I had to go back and re-watch because I was enthralled with the idea that you were wearing that beautiful dress in working with pastry I did not see one Speck of anything on it which absolutely amazed me because I look like the Pillsbury Doughboy when I get through with pastry. Thank you for the work that you do to bring these videos and recipes to us. You are a joy to watch period in the love you and Guido have for each other is just palpable. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas
Armoniosa elegante raffinata gioiosa.....Il profumo si diffonde nelle stanze della casa e la magia si ripete il giardino segreto rivive la casa rivive ogni singolo oggetto si rianima..... FANTASTICO quasi magico come te
Hello Kylie from England UK.... I'm a 67year old Grandma and LOVE your videos.... I've never been to Florence or Tuscany but have been to Rome 3 times and ofcourse fell in love with Italy.... I made my own mincemeat this year for the first time and don't think I'll ever buy a jar again.. Its delicious. Here in the UK we make and eat mince pies from around October until we'll after Christmas... Wishing you and your adorable husband and family a Blessed Christmas...
Thank you, Kylie, for the wonderful recipe! I've made them and I have to say that I will never buy them in the shops anymore! You cannot go back after these! The only thing I changed, I put half of the amount of sugar in the filling and I found them exquisite!!! Very good mix of ingredients and flavours! Thank you again!!!🥰
Thank you Kylie for this lovely recipe. I grew up eating mince pies at Christmas but haven’t had one in years so you inspired me to make these using your recipe! It turned out delicious and perfect! I love the flavours of the orange and nutmeg, so wonderfully christmasy so thank you and merry Christmas 🎄
Ahhh, our beautiful Firenze at Christmas time! It is magical! Thank you for sharing it and this recipe. So lovingly made and we're sure they were delizioso...😋
Alain Delon is still a heartthrob for me. Your red vintage dress does look beautiful. It would make a great book .... magic ... the dress. Love your cooking videos and I write your recipes down.
Love your vlogs and this is one of my favorites. You are still stunning in the beautiful red dress and hope you will remember that a compliment given by anyone at any age is always a treasure!
It's funny I may remember just a few toys I got as a kid but boy do I remember all the food we had at the Holidays. The meals brought the family into our home, my sisters, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, and later my nieces and nephews. Good times. Watching you make these pies knowing the joy you will have sharing them with your family brings back great memories.
Thank you so much Kylie. This was amazing & since we can’t visit Florence this year, I loved seeing your photos and video of the Christmas decorations.
What a feast for the eyes! I can almost taste the mince and the individual pies are a delight. And -- my favorite Christmas carol. I have to get a glass of wine and watch this again. Thank you Kylie!
You have inspired me the tarts look so squisito I love love love the dress story and yes! I have dresses like that too! I think the way the dress fits can make you feel incredible and just feel so beautiful that people can see how you feel about yourself and acknowledge back to you the joy you are experiencing Joy is a precious memory ❤️❤️❤️thank you for your incredible work 🎄
You never know Alain Delon watch this video too, I am sure he remembers 'the lovely lady in red satin' this recipe is bringing old memories back from a long time ago in Bari south Italy. thank you Kylie for sharing this enchanting traditional treat.
ooh, what a beautiful nook was created here😌I so enjoyed the narration over your little smiles while showing the ingredients. You look so beautiful and happy and I loved the dress story, I think that’s one of the best compliments to receive❤️ how one word, at the right time, from the right person, can really make a lifetime memory, which fills you with love and hope evertime you revist the tops were really cute, thank you for another dreaming session❣️💋
@@sueanne3139 hi Sueanne, I was not trying to be unkind. I was truly offended by her referring to the legendary actor as “really really old”. I’m sorry but Kylie is no spring chicken herself. Kylie makes mistakes too and is not perfect please understand. Isn’t it okay to correct her? Or does she have free reign? This is not the first time she has mocked the elderly in her videos. I think it’s okay to advise her. Don’t worry. She won’t break into pieces. Our Kylie is doing very well for herself.
@@easynow7801 :) it did sound a bit odd to me as well, but I took it as a bit of defence mechanism of a dear memory, regardless people’s tendency to not acknowledge value beyond its peak. Maybe Kylie was tempted to feel the same, but what I took from it was the uniqueness of the moment, so I just focused on the wonderful part, as I am sure Kylie did in the end as well. An attempt to support each other in the celebration of such moments, rather the imperfection our ego might stray our thoughts to. In the end, if the compliment didn’t mean that much to her, it meant something to me:))
One of my favorite things through the holiday season................Donna in Toronto...........I loved the blog from last year on homemade gifts, I’ve watched it several times...
I was standing on a boat under the Eiffel Tower and the most elegant Parisian lady told me that the dress I was wearing to dinner looked like it was right out of Dior’s Spring collection. I had no idea that it did and it wasn’t Dior but it was a magical moment. You and your dress 👗 are lovely.
My daughter is 18 and is obsessed with Alain Delon, when she heard your story she was in shock. She doesn’t know how you didn’t faint right then and there😂
Wow Kylie! You beautiful thing! I'm 20 and I think you're an absolute inspiration. The way you speak, dress and smile is so lovely... you're a little twinkle of what used to be more common in the world, back in our grandparents generation and before...now its looked down upon if your beautiful and feminine. Your definitely my favourite UA-camr, love from Ireland 💖
How lonely the city of Florence is decorated. Your pies look amazing. Your dress is absolutely beautiful. What a lovely video Kylie. You are truly talented. ❤ Thank you.
Ciao, bella! I continue to marvel at how these beautiful films come across on UA-cam. Complimenti! Who makes pastry while wearing a silk dress? Kylie, of course. Bellissimo!
Dear Kylie, thank you for sharing your recipe, great idea to add orange zest to your pastry. You look stunning in your beautiful silk dress. Fantastic setting, cosy and Christmassy! I am now in the Christmas frame of mind, thank you for cheering me up. Lots of love 💕
Thanks for sharing your fascinating encounter with Alain Delon, my most favorite actor of all time! Enjoy the holidays with your awesome hubby! God bless...
What a gorgeous video again, Kylie. I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but Purple Noon was inspired by The Talented Mr Ripley, and not the other way around. Purple Noon is The Talented Mr Ripley, but with a different cover title ❤️ It was based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, written in 1955….and what a great novel it is. It’s my all time favourite. I was daydreaming about mince pies earlier today. I haven’t had them since my childhood. This video came at the right time! Merry Christmas/Buon Natale xx
Kylie,you look stunning as usual.That dress does look amazing.Love this video.My beautiful Florence,all prepared for Christmas.Ah,I wish I was there.Love and blessings to you and Guido.x👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I couldn’t care how old Monsignor Delon is. A compliment from him would have floored me. Please show us your dress in the next video. Yum!
You look beautiful in e red silk dress and after you told us the phenomenal history of it, you carry the fabulous energy of it. And it makes your baking even magic!!!! Thank you for sharing such lovely experience.
Just beautiful. If your schedule permits could you show an Italian Christmas market and what they might look like. Kylie your work superb!❤️🎄❤️🎄
Handling fresh fruit for a pie, dressed in a wonderful brocade red silk dress, with absolute no concern of staining it.
Only Kylie can do that. 😄👍
This was so lovely and reminded me of how we always got tangerines in our Christmas stockings. Thank you!
I can practically smell and taste those pies. Finally starting to feel the festive spirit thanks to this beautiful video!

The BEST recipe for Fruit Mince Pies. I baked it for two years, it is a Christmas tradition now. Thank you. ❤❤
That is the most exquisite colour red silk dress. Absolutely gorgeous.
You are a movie star from another era too Kylie. What a wonderful story 💗
Thank you for this recipe. I plan to make them this weekend ☺️

I’m thankful this is my only symptom and I plan to cherish each step of cooking, baking and eating when it returns. To stay in the moment and remember that THESE are the good old days (thank you Carly Simon). And thank YOU Kylie for the inspiration and hope you bring to me and all that watch you share your perspective. I am looking forward to more Christmas videos. ✌🏻♥️
Mince pies are my favorite Christmas treat! I had an aunt who used to make them all year and I’d sneak into the kitchen to get one before they were served!
Lovely memories and a beautiful evocative video as always Kylie. Thank you 💗
The lighting was perfect in this episode. You captured that warm glow-y Christmas magic.
Kylie you are the Duchess of light and sound!
There are some films that I love watching during this period of time to feel the atmosphere of Christmas, but your videos Kylie bring the sensation of holiday at our home just in 20 min! You are so wonderful, thank you for bringing so much joy to so many people all around the world!
Warm, inviting and Florence looks like the perfect Christmas city!
I loved the story about Alain Delon! What a wonderful memory!
Kylie.. I can’t believe you are doing this in that fabulous vintage slik dress! I’ve been holding my breath watching and praying nothing got on it! It’s stunning on you!
So lovely Kylie … love the Alain Delon story 🥰
So appreciate the moments of calm, beauty n amazing sharing of stories from the past present n seeing the future of the villa. Now more than ever we need n cherish these moments!
This video made my month 🤍 I’m Jewish but I still just adore this for how cozy it is. You are amazing 🤍
Kylie, this did not disappoint! Such beauty, such delight, such magic! The food, Florence in all its glory, and the pops of red the from the magical red dress, to the roses. My heart is rich and full. Thank you so much for this video! This is quickly becoming one of my holiday traditions. Off to decorate my home now for the season.
Your dress still has the magic. Your #2 fan also had a great night(another Kylie video)
Have been to Florence 8x and once at Christmas-amazing lights
Hope Guido recognizes he is the luckiest guy on the face of the earth Merry Christmas!
Thank you Kylie you are stunning in that red dress! Your efforts are so appreciated. Guido is a lucky man! 😘
I am one of the very few who love fruit cake so I know this recipe will be Fabuloso!
Absolutely stunning!! You looked gorgeous in your dress!! I would be too nervous cooking or baking in silk!! You are brave:) I would love to see the whole dress!! So classically beautiful!! Wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed Christmas season!! 🎄💝
When you create your treats, it is a multi-sensory experience! I love every minute of it. Thank you for sharing!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for letting me relive my wonderful trips to Tuscany and Florence!
Delicious. Well done Kyle..💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👍🇬🇧
Hi Kylie, I'm coming back to this video in Nov 2022 to say I baked these yesterday together with your sticky date pudding recipe and have to say they are both DELICIOUS and I LOVE the recipes so much! I took the sticky date pudding with me to work and it was a hit with everyone there. I accidentally left the fruit mince pies a little bit too long so I'll know for next time but hey a little bit of a toasty-ness kinda works haha I just had to come on here and let you know I tried the recipe/s and how much I adore them now and thank you for sharing these recipes for us to enjoy. They will be a staple part of my Christmas going forward, thanks Kylie
Once again, a great way to spend half an hour is to watch your latest video. So great.
I had to go back and re-watch because I was enthralled with the idea that you were wearing that beautiful dress in working with pastry I did not see one Speck of anything on it which absolutely amazed me because I look like the Pillsbury Doughboy when I get through with pastry. Thank you for the work that you do to bring these videos and recipes to us. You are a joy to watch period in the love you and Guido have for each other is just palpable. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas
Armoniosa elegante raffinata gioiosa.....Il profumo si diffonde nelle stanze della casa e la magia si ripete il giardino segreto rivive la casa rivive ogni singolo oggetto si rianima.....
FANTASTICO quasi magico come te
Hello Kylie from England UK.... I'm a 67year old Grandma and LOVE your videos.... I've never been to Florence or Tuscany but have been to Rome 3 times and ofcourse fell in love with Italy.... I made my own mincemeat this year for the first time and don't think I'll ever buy a jar again.. Its delicious. Here in the UK we make and eat mince pies from around October until we'll after Christmas... Wishing you and your adorable husband and family a Blessed Christmas...
Thank you, Kylie, for the wonderful recipe! I've made them and I have to say that I will never buy them in the shops anymore! You cannot go back after these! The only thing I changed, I put half of the amount of sugar in the filling and I found them exquisite!!! Very good mix of ingredients and flavours! Thank you again!!!🥰
Thank you Kylie for this lovely recipe. I grew up eating mince pies at Christmas but haven’t had one in years so you inspired me to make these using your recipe! It turned out delicious and perfect! I love the flavours of the orange and nutmeg, so wonderfully christmasy so thank you and merry Christmas 🎄
I love Fridays because I know your going to upload a video ❤️❤️❤️
🙏
Ahhh, our beautiful Firenze at Christmas time! It is magical! Thank you for sharing it and this recipe. So lovingly made and we're sure they were delizioso...😋
I LOVED the story of the magic dress
I remember when I was little girl. We would get a brawn paper sack with special candies. A apple and a orange. Sweet memories 💖.
The filming is masterful. What a talent to capture beauty, color, and light. Feast to the eyes
Alain Delon is still a heartthrob for me. Your red vintage dress does look beautiful. It would make a great book .... magic ... the dress. Love your cooking videos and I write your recipes down.
so excited to watch 🥰🥰🤍
Love your vlogs and this is one of my favorites. You are still stunning in the beautiful red dress and hope you will remember that a compliment given by anyone at any age is always a treasure!
It's funny I may remember just a few toys I got as a kid but boy do I remember all the food we had at the Holidays. The meals brought the family into our home, my sisters, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, and later my nieces and nephews. Good times. Watching you make these pies knowing the joy you will have sharing them with your family brings back great memories.
Almost cried when you added the Xmas 🎵. You made my day.
Thank you so much Kylie. This was amazing & since we can’t visit Florence this year, I loved seeing your photos and video of the Christmas decorations.
The lighting, the music and the little scenography of this film is fantastic!
Wow! Brava, Kylie.
Vin Santo...brings me back to time spent in Siena decades ago...
Im overjoyed you dressed so beautifully to make such a lovely holiday tradition. You have become Italian in all ways!
What a feast for the eyes! I can almost taste the mince and the individual pies are a delight. And -- my favorite Christmas carol. I have to get a glass of wine and watch this again. Thank you Kylie!
You have inspired me the tarts look so squisito
I love love love the dress story and yes! I have dresses like that too! I think the way the dress fits can make you feel incredible and just feel so beautiful that people can see how you feel about yourself and acknowledge back to you the joy you are experiencing Joy is a precious memory ❤️❤️❤️thank you for your incredible work 🎄
In the 1960s, we were still getting a "precious" orange in our Christmas stockings as tradition dictated . . . and we lived in Florida! 😄
The color of your dress looks great with the lighting, the flowers, and the things on your table.
You live in paradise!!!beyond beautiful-thank you for sharing the amazing memory of you wearing the pretty dress
Thank you dear Maria! 😘
What a wonderful Alain Delon story! Love it!
You never know Alain Delon watch this video too, I am sure he remembers 'the lovely lady in red satin' this recipe is bringing old memories back from a long time ago in Bari south Italy. thank you Kylie for sharing this enchanting traditional treat.
Hi Kylie, your video will be my Christmas card for 2021!
ooh, what a beautiful nook was created here😌I so enjoyed the narration over your little smiles while showing the ingredients. You look so beautiful and happy and I loved the dress story, I think that’s one of the best compliments to receive❤️ how one word, at the right time, from the right person, can really make a lifetime memory, which fills you with love and hope evertime you revist
the tops were really cute, thank you for another dreaming session❣️💋
What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear her say that he was “really really old” and that his compliment didn’t mean much to her. 🤷🏻♀️
@@sueanne3139 amen to that
@@sueanne3139 hi Sueanne, I was not trying to be unkind. I was truly offended by her referring to the legendary actor as “really really old”. I’m sorry but Kylie is no spring chicken herself. Kylie makes mistakes too and is not perfect please understand. Isn’t it okay to correct her? Or does she have free reign? This is not the first time she has mocked the elderly in her videos. I think it’s okay to advise her. Don’t worry. She won’t break into pieces. Our Kylie is doing very well for herself.
@@easynow7801 :) it did sound a bit odd to me as well, but I took it as a bit of defence mechanism of a dear memory, regardless people’s tendency to not acknowledge value beyond its peak. Maybe Kylie was tempted to feel the same, but what I took from it was the uniqueness of the moment, so I just focused on the wonderful part, as I am sure Kylie did in the end as well. An attempt to support each other in the celebration of such moments, rather the imperfection our ego might stray our thoughts to.
In the end, if the compliment didn’t mean that much to her, it meant something to me:))
@@AnaBela1990 Have a wonderful christmas everyone! 💖💖💖🙋♀️🎄🎁🎉 God bless you all ✨🙏✝
One of my favorite things through the holiday season................Donna in Toronto...........I loved the blog from last year on homemade gifts, I’ve watched it several times...
What a gift for your loved ones! Made with love and care--they look delicious!
Gorgeous Mediterranean styles and beauty that we are all in-love with🥰🥰 🎄⛪🎁❄🌨☃️💫🎄❄🌨🎁☃️🍾🥂
I was standing on a boat under the Eiffel Tower and the most elegant Parisian lady told me that the dress I was wearing to dinner looked like it was right out of Dior’s Spring collection. I had no idea that it did and it wasn’t Dior but it was a magical moment.
You and your dress 👗 are lovely.
My daughter is 18 and is obsessed with Alain Delon, when she heard your story she was in shock. She doesn’t know how you didn’t faint right then and there😂
Wow Kylie! You beautiful thing! I'm 20 and I think you're an absolute inspiration. The way you speak, dress and smile is so lovely... you're a little twinkle of what used to be more common in the world, back in our grandparents generation and before...now its looked down upon if your beautiful and feminine. Your definitely my favourite UA-camr, love from Ireland 💖
Just wow video.
Cuteness overload.
You are just amazing dear.
What a great upload , stay happy forever!!!
How lonely the city of Florence is decorated. Your pies look amazing. Your dress is absolutely beautiful. What a lovely video Kylie. You are truly talented. ❤ Thank you.
Ciao, bella! I continue to marvel at how these beautiful films come across on UA-cam. Complimenti! Who makes pastry while wearing a silk dress? Kylie, of course. Bellissimo!
Oh, what a magical backstory about your dress!🥰
I visited Italy in ‘94….would love to go back. I love your style Kylie, say hello to Guido.
Dear Kylie, thank you for sharing your recipe, great idea to add orange zest to your pastry. You look stunning in your beautiful silk dress. Fantastic setting, cosy and Christmassy! I am now in the Christmas frame of mind, thank you for cheering me up. Lots of love 💕
Thanks for sharing your fascinating encounter with Alain Delon, my most favorite actor of all time! Enjoy the holidays with your awesome hubby! God bless...
What a gorgeous video again, Kylie.
I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but Purple Noon was inspired by The Talented Mr Ripley, and not the other way around.
Purple Noon is The Talented Mr Ripley, but with a different cover title ❤️
It was based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, written in 1955….and what a great novel it is. It’s my all time favourite.
I was daydreaming about mince pies earlier today. I haven’t had them since my childhood.
This video came at the right time!
Merry Christmas/Buon Natale xx
Merry Christmas and the best... just love the exactly the optimal pace suiting both the story and the pastry...
Beautifully filmed!! This was such a cozy Christmas video to watch. xx
I adore the dresss! In combination with the warm colors of the fruits and furniture uff aesthetically delightful 🥺😍❤️
