  • Thank you for watching this cosy Christmas episode. This week I start making a homemade garland using things I've found in the woods, I baked traditional Swedish ginger cookies from an old book belonging to Guido's grandmother, we had a BBQ of salsiccia and homegrown vegetables outside and baked focaccia and bread with our neighbours in an old-fashioned wood-fired oven.
    SWEDISH PEPPARKAKOR CHRISTMAS COOKIES RECIPE:
    My recipe makes about 50 small cookies. Mix 3 and 1/3 cups flour with 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda. In a pan or pot, gently heat 220g butter, 1/2 cup honey, 150g white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 4 tablespoons ground ginger, 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cloves, juice of half orange and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool until caramel is warm, not hot, and then beat in two eggs. Pour caramel into flour and mix until combined. Refrigerate for two hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 180degrees C. Roll cookie dough into small balls and press down with fingertips to make flat discs. Cook for 12-15 minutes for a crisp cookie or 7-10 minutes for a fudgey cookie. Remember they will firm up a lot once cooled so best to take them out earlier rather than later to be safe. Enjoy dipped in tea, espresso or Vin Santo.

    Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.

      Kylie, I love these types of videos. I’d be happy to watch days in your lives (and at home) as long as you’re comfortable doing them. I think you’ve said your parents don’t want to be in videos but I do hope you’re getting lots of footage of them with their grandbaby. That will be priceless footage the farther away from now you get. And of course lots of photos. It’s all we have in the end besides our memories. And many even lose that. You’re building a beautiful life there.

    Love the rustic look of your kitchen in the background (the curtain Angela sent you looks great). I love the oven outside. I love the rocker your dad made (how clever to make it detachable/attachable). The baby is growing so fast (as they do). Love the shot of the baby tucked inside Guido's coat (like Paul McCartney and his baby daughter). Love the way Guido says, "Mmmmm." Thank you for all these Christmas videos. Reminds me of my aunt's house at Christmastime. I miss her so much.

    I never noticed this before - when parents watch their children kiss their grandchildren - priceless. When I saw your father (who looks like Robert Redford from that angel) was watching you kiss John Franco, the joy/love that emanated from your father watching you - first loving you so much and then loving you even more watching you kiss John Franco. It seriously touched my heart. That love is rare and few and far between these days. Thank you for that gift, will cherish it always.

    OH Kylie....I'm totally IN LOVE with this episode! I am an absolute lover of Christmas but especially all the culture and festivities (old style) that surround it. Not the modern commercialism but the cooking, decorating with nature and strong family traditions. This made me so warm and fuzzy inside! I'll miss not being in our warm and cosy little Tuscan home this Christmas as I'm back in Australia with family and have work commitments, so this has transported me back there in my mind. Thank you so much for sharing your special times with us ...so grateful! Un abbraccio forte a te, Guido, GianFranco e tutta la tua bellissima famiglia 🥰🤗😘

    Buon Natale Kylie, Guido, and now, beautiful baby GianFranco! I'm an American married to an Italian from Giglio, an island that you featured in one of your episodes, loved it! Our family knows this island well. This Christmas episode is just beautiful, your approach to this most sacred holiday; the love that fills your heart holding your new baby, having your family close, the wonderful smells you create in your food, all elements that will make this 2022 holiday season one to be remembered. I have not become a subscriber yet, but will, your shows content is worth supporting. I promise to hit subscribe when you talk that wonderful breadmaker into allowing you to film her actually make the bread from scratch. I also have a wood fired oven and would love to her two breads featured in this episode. Merry Christmas!

    @dottiebaker6623 Před rokem

    Thank you for doing this charming video! And thank you for the recipe for the Pepparkakor! You are very lucky to have a neighbor who can teach you to use your wood burning oven. I used to work in a restoration museum demonstrating baking and cooking on a wood burning stove. I found it really easy to get used to - regulating the temperature is much faster on a wood burning stove, all you do is move the pot to a warmer or cooler place on the stove top! Get yourself a small thermometer that you can put in the oven (they used to have those that were designed to hang off a rack) and practice putting your hand inside the oven while checking the temperature on the thermometer. It won't take long before you'll know what it feels like at all the temperatures you typically use - bread, cookies, cakes and casserole baking (medium), drying fruit, keeping leftovers warm (low) and the initial part of roasting, searing (high). The only part that may be unexpected, depending on your oven, is that you may need to turn whatever you're baking 180 degrees, once, in the middle of the baking cycle. This is because some wood burning stoves are hotter on one side than the other, due to the location of the fire in the design. But once you learn how your stove behaves, it's really easier than you think. Once the hubbub of Christmas is over, give it a try - it's really fun!

Tears of joy and happiness for all of you in this very first Christmas with your Gian Franco that fills your hearts with such love and wonder.
    Wishing you all the most wonderful, Happiest, and joyful holiday season.
    May God continue to bless you all. Your beauty and your smile brightens every video. Thank you for the time spent sharing your life with us. ❤❤❤❤🎄🙏❄️☃️😘🤗🙏

    Hi Kylie, I’ve been watching your episodes on CZcams for years now. I love them, even my husband stops and watches to see what you’re up to. Thank you so much for sharing with us your life, your family and your travels. In the last week I’ve made the Pepparkakor and your Christmas mince. Both were really successful. Usually I just buy the mincemeat but your recipe is far superior to the only variety we can buy in the supermarket here in Melbourne. Have a beautiful day with the family on Sunday and I wish you, Guido and your darling baby boy a wonderful year ahead.

    Dearest Kylie and Guido, thank you for this festive video. You do have the most beautiful family! I loved seeing your mom and dad too… and the bit where the boys were eating most appreciatively their cheesy toast made me smile…. Have a lovely week. Love to all of you, Heidi xx

    This is a lovely surprise!
    ❄I only now poured a hot cup of coffee before a long walk. It is dreary and cold here, I want to walk outside though to enjoy Nature.
    Here we await ~The Winter Solstice on December 21st. I look forward to baking bread and having a Bonn fire on the Solstice. Next ~The Yuletide! ❄💙❄💙❄
    MAY THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH THIS CHRISTMAS❕

    I love Pepparkakor and really enjoyed your video Kylie. My heritage is Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, English and Irish. My taste buds have always preferred the flavours of my Scandinavian and Nordic heritage. Don’t forget to make Risgrynsgröt for your family! It’s also one of my favorite traditions (that I also make during the winter months!). Buon natale a te e alla tua famiglia ❤

    I wish to have a Christmas like yours one day, the feeling must be great! Loved the part where you asked Guido if you are in focus :) Love those genuine moments! And that Swedish Christmas tree 🎄! Great speech about spices! I love spices a lot, mainly cinnamon! Wow hundred of kilos of bread! Good old days! Ha,ha it’s a party! My gosh I miss Italy! But I will go back one day for sure! Yes, I adore fire as well very much! Very touching the scene with you, your dad and the baby! Seems to be warm in Italy, here in North England it’s white outside! I would struggle to eat raw meat! Galbulo, never heard that word before :) Love seeing you cooking, since watching you, I cook more as well! You have so much patience, clearly you love cooking! My gosh your videos are pure poetry! Amazing! This was the best start for my very busy week! Much love until next time! Xxx

    I´m Swedish. Pronounciation of pepparkaka: think more of Italian than English pronounciation. You should hear -ar at the end of peppar. Very nice video! Merry Christmas!
