- Happy holidays! Now that we're in December, I'm bringing you more Christmas episodes filled with baking sweet treats like traditional fruit mince pies and taking you around Florence, Tuscany, to see Italy at Christmas time with all the decorations and lights of the city. THE RECIPE IS HERE: www.kylieflavell.com/index.ph... You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

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
Your videos are stunningly beautiful!💙💚🧡 thank you so very much for sharing your beauty
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.
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!
Such a fun memory. As a child I received an orange, walnuts and pennies.
So sweet.
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 🎄
LOVELY
me too
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. 😄👍
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!
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
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!
"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.)
I couldn’t agree more! I was disappointed when she said that.
@@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. 😊
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😂
Just beautiful. If your schedule permits could you show an Italian Christmas market and what they might look like. Kylie your work superb!❤️🎄❤️🎄
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. 🎄 🇮🇹
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!
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.
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.
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 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 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
This was so lovely and reminded me of how we always got tangerines in our Christmas stockings. Thank you!
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 ✨🙏✝
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..
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!! 🎄💝
I can practically smell and taste those pies. Finally starting to feel the festive spirit thanks to this beautiful video!
Thank you Kylie you are stunning in that red dress! Your efforts are so appreciated. Guido is a lucky man! 😘
Lovely!
So elegant. Thank you.
Kylie, watching your videos feels like savouring a delicious dessert! I enjoy and appreciate every moment 🥰
Thank you for sharing your romantic perspective on life - it’s nourishing to the soul 💗
so excited to watch 🥰🥰🤍
When you create your treats, it is a multi-sensory experience! I love every minute of it. Thank you for sharing!🥰🥰🥰
This put me in the Christmas spirit so thank you very much! Wishing you both all the blessings of the season!
Beautiful!
Everything was so beautifully done, from the romantic set up to the footage you captured in town and of course those delicious baked goods. Thank you Kylie♥️✨
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 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.
Kylie, thank you for making my world feel as bellissima as you, your vintage silk dress, and your stunning home and table.
Buon Natale to you and Guiedo! 🎄❄💚🧡❄🎄
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!
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.
In the 1960s, we were still getting a "precious" orange in our Christmas stockings as tradition dictated . . . and we lived in Florida! 😄
So beautiful!! Ideas that will make Christmas even more special! Thank you, Kylie!!
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.
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!
Thank you for letting me relive my wonderful trips to Tuscany and Florence!
Warm, inviting and Florence looks like the perfect Christmas city!
Those pies look so festive and delightful! Thank you for the stroll through the city -- it was enchanting to see all the beautiful Christmas decor! I loved the little tidbit about your dress, too.
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
Absolutely beautiful!!
As usual Wonderful 🎄
That just looks like Christmas. Beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and your thoughtful work every week. Will add this wonderful recipe to the list, love this time of year😊
Love Florence at Christmas! Thanks so much for this. Planning on making decorations like you did last year. So lovely. I can smell the mincemeat. Ha!
It was 100% a compliment!!!!
Delicious. Well done Kyle..💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👍🇬🇧
I am soooo delightfully inspired by you! The music was also inspiring and centering in spirit. I would most definitely make these scrumptious pies 🥧. Thank you 🙏. I will have to look at your Christmas Volggs from last year again. I did watch every single one (last year) however, you gently reminded us of the recipes you had presented. I will watch them . Plus your future Christmas Vloggs 🎄🎄🎄
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 💗
I’ve tried many of your recipes and they are all wonderful! Can’t wait to try this one!
I’m making these tomorrow! Thanks Kylie.
That was lovely.
What a gift for your loved ones! Made with love and care--they look delicious!
Kylie, your videos are incredible!
Hi Kylie, your video will be my Christmas card for 2021!
OMG, I'm drooling. Beautiful and I'm sure delicious little pastries!
Inspired and ready for a summer Christmas in South Africa. Lots of love 🌲🍉🇿🇦
Thanks KYLIE!
They look absolutely amazing. Great job with the different topping designs. I might make them for Christmas. Sad to hear even in Italy, the traditional baking isn’t being done at home much anymore.
Wishing you, Guido and your families a Merry Christmas! 🎄😘
I adore your shows Merci
I adore the dresss! In combination with the warm colors of the fruits and furniture uff aesthetically delightful 🥺😍❤️

You’re my inspiration ❤️
Yummy! I could almost smell the orange :-) I really enjoyed attempting your Christmas baubles last year and will be taking your handy pastry tips on board this year (although I won't be looking as glamourous as you)! Thank you Kylie
This looks heavenly! 😍
Another exquisite episode🎄🎄🎄
Beautifully edited, the images of Christmas throughout the city and the change of scenery following the music was so lovely! I really enjoyed this episode, your editing and imaging throughout the baking also so beautiful!!
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!
The color of your dress looks great with the lighting, the flowers, and the things on your table.
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.

That is the most exquisite colour red silk dress. Absolutely gorgeous.
Once again thanks for sharing food recipes. Looks so delicious and different from ordinary cooking.
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...
Brava Kylie! Love your mince pie recipe! My Napoletano grandmother would make a very similar recipe for Natale as well, but full 9" pies. You telling your special dress story was so lovely and fun! Perhaps seeung you was a welcome walk down memory lane for Alain as well! 💃
You are inspiring me to tackle struffoli again this year. 😄 Many good holiday thoughts and wishes to you and yours.
🎁🎄🇮🇹🇺🇸💓🙏😊
Thank you, Kylie, another gorgeous video from you! I will certainly do the pies, they seem very tasty and I do like all the ingredients! Buon Natale to you and your family as well!
Kylie, thank you. Beautiful presented ❤️😘
Looks YUMMY! I love fruit mince pies. Loved the story about the dress!
You are just magic 😍Thank you for this video ❤️
Wonderful !
❤
Almost cried when you added the Xmas 🎵. You made my day.
Your talents are amazing!
