Thank you, Kylie for the recipe and for sharing your nurturing Spirit, your home and the endless Beauty and Love that you create around you. You are truly an inspiration and well appreciated by so many. I will be trying several recipes just from today’s video! Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year. Guido is blessed to have you.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

Dear Kylie, it's been a strange Christmas for me as I came down with covid after we all thought that was over, and my mother as well, much more worrying as she's been much more affected than I, given her age. My grandson, ie my stepson's baby boy also got the winter stomach flu on his second birthday last week, so we've all been separated for Christmas (most of us) to be careful. To top it off I lost 100% of my ability for taste about a 10 days before Christmas 😱 and my olfactive senses are greatly impaired 😭 Although by no means the professional cook you are, I feel I have very much the same likes and methods I favour, as you do. Probably much due to spending time in France and especially in Italy, and having spent alot of time in a less modern kitchen as a child, my Swedish-Anglophile-Half Jewish Grandmother's . So this year I gave my stocked up goodies away, as when fish and panetone tastes the same and only texture makes them different I felt it pointless, almost painful to eat. The channels I watch of culinary Christmas creativity and festive traditions has therefore meant the world to me this year. Thank you! I know these flavours and scents you're cooking, and it's been interesting to realize how much these things are lodged in part of my brain, that cannot currently connect at all to my actual senses! Strange and also wonderful considering... It's rare I see someone cook great, flavourful, wholesome food using my own prefered methods. The instruments I value most are the pestle and mortar (I have four in different sizes and materials for different uses, the oldest 200 years, small and Swedish in brass for spices handed down in the family, the biggest is a beautifully glazed low fired clay from Provence with a wooden pestle mainly for emulsions, pistou etc, and several in various marbles I use mosy frequently. But I find people these days dont realize the difference in flavour and texture it presents substituting with a blade or processor! This is a big mistake, and I think many miss out on the creamy umaminess the mortar lends especially when pounding garlic, onions etc instead of chopping it), which is amost tragic. My mortars and pestles, my immersion mixer and fine seive, my bamboo three tiered steamer, my cast iron and copper skillets, all important wooden utensils, grater, wisk, chefs knife and olive pitter are the things I use and value the most. Like you I like to get my hands *in* there. I like a gas burner (rather than induction) and like to allow the processes to take their time. Whilst my son and his buddies are all about the sous vide these days, I still use the gasmark 1 or 2 for slow winecooked poultry or lamb, or the cast iron pot in a low oven. I know how fun it truly is to cook up a storm for 30 people! I expect its a little like runners planning and running a half marathon, it's a certain exalted pace and breath, and intense joy! It's been some years since I did that, but oh the fun it was! Exhausting, but really a feast of the senses and a sensation of being a creator of a true experience whilst having an exclusive one in the privacy of the making! Your cooking reminds me so much of why I love food, the sensuous experience it brings to everyday life and memories it etches in our minds for life, important even when faced with loss of senses as I am now. Hopefully this will pass soon. ( The idea of it going on for 6 months like some report, seems unbearable.) I hope quite selfishly to see a bit of footage from your trip to the alpes and feast with your friends! Mostly I just want to thank you for sharing everything you do. I understand just how much hard work goes into filming and editing your videos, and I really appreciate it. This year especially as you've had so much overwhelming experienced to deal with! Merry Christmas to you, to Guido, to little Gianfranco and the rest of your family! Best wishes for the new year Kylie! 2022 has been a ride for you, I hope 2023 will prove just as fruitful if not quite as suspenseful dear. Stay healthy and stay you! Much love from wintery cold Stockholm/ Jo, ❤️

[@essieessie5399]

Bless you for helping the innocents. They ask for so little. That is the true meaning of "Giving"

[@essieessie5399]

When a homeless cat arrives at your doorstep or property, it is a gift. You have been blessed with an overabundance of food in your life. Surely, you can help/feed an innocent, starving animal with some food? It is a gift to bring up a child with compassion for those without a voice. Have a blessed Christmas.

I am just thinking of how little Gianfranco's brain is developing. The lovely smells of food, the warmth of a loving family surrounding him. So calm and soothing for a little baby.

Merry Christmas Kylie. You are even more beautiful as a woman with a child and family gathered. You have created a home for Guido that built upon his ancestral roots. You’ve worked very hard and created something for all of us to imagine and occasionally imitate those recipes. Thank you for sharing these parts of your life.

We had a cat that adopted us and she ended up staying for many years and even moving to a new house with us. She became my son's cat and she would follow him around like a dog when he was outside. She would even get on the sled in the winter and go down hills with us.

[@lucy2beme]

Merry Christmas, Kylie. I love Italy, it is beautiful. Please know, we love your videos, no matter where you film. You are the reason we watch. I'm so glad to see your mom and dad are with you. You are a fantastic cook.

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much!!!

[@vintagelady1]

Many thanks to you for your lovely videos that inspire us all to live the lives we want, whether rich & romantic, simple & clean, city or country, solitary or among friends. This has been quite a year for you, a wedding, challenging first trimester of pregnancy, the craziness of renovation, a very difficult delivery, and a colicky baby. I'm sure there are moments of frustration that you haven't shared , but through it all you have maintained your grace & overwhelming zest for life in all its facets. How amazing next year will be, as Gianfranco becomes a little person, getting your home finished (??), watching your garden plans come to fruition. Thank you for sharing your journey, merry Christmas, & have a wonderful holiday in the snow! P.S.--Congratulations on having been adopted by a cat. Wise kitty, to choose your family!

I love to cook for Christmas for everyone. My husband and I will always do Christmas eve dinner. It so special. ❤❤your video warmed my heart .

[@brikat342]

Nothing like a warming homemade chicken soup. I like to make chicken n’ dumplings- something my grandma would make. ❤ Today, I accidentally made a soup that reminded me of your tortellini in bone broth you made a while back. I had a chicken carcass to use up, so I started a stock over the stove. My husband then decided he wanted a tortellini soup. Used to being busy, I was going to run to the store to pick up the week’s groceries along with pre-made tortellini. He wanted meat and cheese filling of some sort. But in the afternoon, everyone passed out for a long nap. My 3 year old son and my dog on the couch, my husband upstairs as he is adjusting to a new 3rd shift job. Not wanting to wake up or move anybody (my son was getting over being sick - I will NOT disturb his slumber), I decided not to leave in case my baby boy woke up and gets scared that no one was nearby for him. Realizing I technically had everything to make pasta dough and the filling (sausage/Parmesan/herb) tortellini, I just started getting to work. My husband was pleasantly surprised at the last minute decision. Twas more effort and back ache, but it was worth it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@giovannapiccari8196]

Kylie you are incredibly talented in many aspect : great cook, interior decorator,film maker,mother, wife, etc.etc. Also very attractive and intelligent. What a treasure to have as a wife and mother for Guido and Gianfranco, they are blessed to have you. I enjoy your videos and have followed your journey for quite some time and have great admiration for you. Sei veramente bella e buona, un grande abbraccio . Giovanna💕

[@dottiebaker6623]

I've been reduced to going back on my word by so many stray animals over the years - I completely understand your taking in the adorable and friendly black and white kitty. I've never regretted it, and you won't either. Animals have an excellent sense of who to attach themselves to, and you and your family are obviously worthy of her trust. Have a lovely time in the mountains and a happy new year.

[@camifromri2129]

Kylie I don't have anything very original to say because everyone has already commented on your grace your beauty your hard work and how amazing it is that you're doing all of this with a new baby. I so appreciate your elegance and your appreciation for family thank you for this beautiful video

[@JW-kh9bm]

Thank you for saving the cat. I own 9 and had 18 at the most. Most were feral and they have all turned out to be wonderful, probably because I take care of them and love them constantly. When my son was a baby, Mariah the cat would sit vigil in his crib and the two of them were inseparable. She lived until 18 years of age. To this day at 26 years of age, he loves cats and appreciates them and always needs to pet one.

[@kathryndamron3238]

As I was once again viewing your video, this very special Christmas one, I couldn't help but thinking of the life and experiences you and Guido have created that Gianfranco will be the recipient of. He has landed softly into such a loving and creative family and life. If it were so for all children, what a wonderful world it would be. Thank you too, for all that you do and gift to all of us who have all been so touched by your gifts. A very tender Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

[@SommelierForHire]

I loved what you said about being alone and still treating yourself special. I have always done that! I remember one Thanksgiving and roasting a whole turkey, stuffing the works and opening a good bottle of wine all for myself. I do live alone, but every holiday I decorate and make it it all cozy with lots of twinkling lights that I turn on each night of the season. I also buy myself birthday presents and Christmas presents. Each of us needs to treat ourselves well. I, too, love to bake, and I love giving my italian specialties to my friends and neighbors, those that would truly appreciate the thought of someone caring. There are lots of lonely people. If you treat yourself well, you have the energy to do things for others who don't. You don't have to be lonely... just have a thrist for curiosity... so much to entertain yourself with. Love your videos in spite of all you do to have time to share your life and thoughts with us. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your dear family. Year of the rabbit 2023, my lucky year! Tanti auguri! Gianna xx

Happy Christmas, Kylie. Your exacting discernment, love of the authentic, and boundless energy are incredibly delightful to witness. Some details I included in my celebrations this year: mini minced-fruit tarts (like English mincemeat, full of aromatic spice and citrus zestiness, made with figs, dates, apples, apricots, and raisins); a salmon dinner with mashed potatoes, buttery carrots, cranberry-orange sauce and a mixed green salad. We read aloud both "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote and "A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas; I baked tollhouse cookies and sugar cookies that I decorated with royal icing with my 81-year old father; we hung an antique string of tiny glass Christmas balls across a modern horizontal mirror that hangs in our mid-century living rooom; we burned a berry and balsam candle, incense, and two tapers made to look like candy canes which I nested in sprigs of fresh holly and berries, cut from our own bushes. It was nice to have the time to make those efforts and to feel the blessings of the season. Cheers to your family. Brava.

I didn't think you were going to post today because of the holiday, so glad you did. Many of us are use to having holidays alone, has its good side and has its bad side, like everything else. To see your house, the food, brings back memories (and exhaustion-ha) You were a joy to watch all year long and the baby, soooooo cute! adorable! precious! perfection in a bundle of love...don't see how you are going to top that next year and you will!! May God bless you and your family throughout next year and all the years to come for all you give us, least we can do is bring a little of that joy back to you in the form of our prayers, so sending big prayers your way, Merry Christmas...

Kylie I’m always happy to view your videos. You’re truly a great contributor to positive impressions of life. I wondered whether you have ever attempted to make panatone? It’s such delicious treat for our family during Christmastime but have no idea how to create it. Happy New Year to your whole family 💐

Dear Kylie: it’s now two days pass Christmas and I am just now watching the last three of your videos. How special this holiday is for you despite all the craziness in getting things done (the apple pie looked so scrupulous!) especially now as a mother and then having Guido, your parents and sister to enjoy as well. Christmas is indeed a time for reflection, gratitude for all we have rather than what we don’t have, and faith and hope that the future will bring us fulfillment as we face the new year. Your videos bring so much pleasure even with your challenges in renovations because your positive attitude and your determination to succeed at what you and Guido do never diminishes. Life is difficult at times but life also brings glorious times especially when one delights in accomplishments. That old saying it’s not the destination, it’s the journey rings true. Thank you for taking me and others on your journey. Wishing you love, peace, joy, laughter, and good health in 2023. And a big grazie for rescuing your kitty - animals bring much joy. ❤️

Marry Christmas, Kylie. Everything about your vlogs is beautiful - your baby, your parents, the setting, the words, the recipes. Many blessings to you and your family at this special time. Thank you for all...
