RELAXING VEGETARIAN COOKING: Italian Antipasti, Vegan Hummus, Easy Appetisers in Tuscany, Italy

Happy weekend! This time I'm sharing two easy recipes for healthy aperitivo snacks or appetisers from my home in Tuscany, Italy. I cook a delicious vegan recipe for hummus with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and roasted garlic and little roasted vegetable vegetarian antipasti with puff pastry and ricotta. 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:

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:

Have you ever considered hosting a work away student? I'm a 23-year-old girl from Canada and would love to come visit and help you with anything you need done around the house. I figured it's unlikely but worth a shot asking! Enjoy your weekend :)

[@johnlanglois4384]

We are attempting both recipes right now! Missing Italy so much, but your videos help in so many ways . grazie mille

This made my night thank you for everything always. I was feeling anxious so I grabbed a bagel at 2 am (now) and watched in delight as you peacefully eased my mind. Thank you for including us vegans! We love you!!! Have a beautiful day!

I cannot sufficiently praise your work without it ending up a whole paragraph... 🙊 But the color grading makes this look so dreamy, the music is so delightful and the recipes are so delicious and fresh💕😊, the translation is so helpful too!! +side note, your hair looks amazing as well as your dress! That pink is gorgeous🌸 thank you so much Kylie, for these elegant and calming 15 minutes🙏

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you - you must be the only one who mentioned the colour grading! 😉🌷🙏 Your words are so kind.

[@slkonnaris8477]

I can really see you having your own TV show. What you do and the way you present everything is so unique. You are like a breath of fresh air. Your hummus looks divine -can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for taking the time to put the descriptions in both languages xx

[@KylieFlavell]

So kind of you. Thank you. I have produced and hosted my own cooking shows for TV but in the end I prefer KZbin because it gives me more creative freedom and a deeper connection with the viewers. 👩🏼‍💻

[@anngunn7447]

I love Cinderella. I used to sing "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" to my son when he was young to help him fall asleep. Listening to the intro and watching the beautiful scenery in Tuscany brought me back almost 20 years ago to that time. Feeling nostalgic. Thank you!

Pure beauty and Serenity...I escape into a different world a world seen through your eyes and I see the beauty of the little joys of life that many times I forget because of the everyday hustle and life stress in the city. When I watch your videos its like reading a great book that you get lost in. Your work brings me joy and peace. Thank you so much Kylie! 🌺

I feel like my soul is being purified while watching your videos. You create a piece of art from simple objects. Thank you!

[@nancychestnut8928]

I just watched this again, a year after first published. You have a real knack for coordinating music, food and a terrific recipe, while somehow all the colors in the end look like a fabulous still life. I love these videos so much. I hope they never disappear from KZbin. Now I'm hungry.

[@LysergikFuneral]

Thank you for the vegan cooking! People often focus on the animal products in Italian food, but there are sooo many traditional dishes without that. Rich Roll and his wife have a great cookbook for this becasue they often visit Tuscany. It's called The Plantpower Way: Italia. Love you Kylie!🌱💚

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you for watching. I grew up in my family eating mostly plant-based food so I could do more of these types of recipes if people like them. Thank you for that book recommendation!

You have redefined my winters! No more early Saturday mornings lighting the fire and waiting for my beautiful old (though extremely cold!) French house to warm. Now snuggled under the duvet with a cup of hot sweet tea watching the most enchanting video. And instead of my planned activities of house cleaning, I am sitting here relaxed, cosy and comfortable designing my new pinafore! Have a beautiful weekend lovely Kylie :) x

This is so delicious. Thank you for posting videos like this. It makes me feel as , if I am not the only one that, loves to cook authentic simple foods and enjoys the art of listening to music cooking and making daily delicious foods to nourish our bodies. I dream of living in Italy in Tuscany specifically. I live vicariously through your videos of the the farm , remolding and throughly enjoy the relationship you and your husband Guido have. I find it refreshing , sweet and romantic. Such a fairytale love story ! Love it.

Your videos are art, they are mesmerizing! From the music to your mannerisms which give out so much warmth and comfort. The attention to detail in your productions is truly inspiring, I am sure you'll go on to make even bigger projects and share your energy with even more people. I've decided to become a patreon, because of the before-mentioned facts, and also, even a with the little I give, to help you further reach your goals.

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much! Not just for considering becoming a Patron but also for noticing the little details. Some days I’m filming or editing until long past midnight and I’m exhausted and wondering why I’m going to so much trouble to get things ‘just right’ for something I’m putting online for free. When I read comments like yours, the connection with others who love attention to detail always makes it worth it and motivates me to dive straight back into creating with all my heart! ♥️♥️

[@vocalchords3609]

I totally agree - but would like to add, that Katie is 'grounded', 'real', authentic' - and that for me is what makes the beauty she opens our eyes to, ' genuine' - and that is so so rare. As a viewer, I 'trust' her optics, her creativity and her very essence as a human being. She is one of the very best!

[@SandraTuscany]

How beautiful and romantic💕 Everything looks so tasty & the music it’s accompanied with, makes me feel like I’m there feeling the warmth. Thank you Kylie for your creativity & inspiration. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Monas99]

wonderful video as always- I'm a fan!! I absolutely love the attention to detail and the love you put in everything you do transpires in all your videos- your channel is a breath of fresh air among all the noise out there on Internet- this is my favorite TV channel!! I'm so grateful for who you are and what you do. I cannot wait to watch your new videos. Kylie, I have a little suggestion: would you please consider doing a video with traditional Italian baking treats that one can make at home and offer them to friends and loved ones as Christmas gifts? We don't need to buy more "stuff" which will eventually end in in the landfills, what we need is more connection with each other- these days more than ever, especially since some of us are in lockdown again in some parts of the world. From my own experience, as I'm sure others will agree with me, making and sharing food is an intimate activity that brings people together and makes them feel more connected. Making holiday foods with or for those I love is high on my gift list this year. A video with Italian traditional treats for holidays would be like the best gift for anyone to make and share. Thank you!

[@clarehart5892]

Oh my goodness, can you ever prepare a lovely aperitivo snack. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@brijrussell83]

How beautifully shot Kylie! Also the Italian was great for expanding my cooking vocabulary, frullarlo is a great one to get your tongue around.

[@KylieFlavell]

Thanks you tesoro. The new one for me was to prick (with a fork) - bucherellare. It’s quite hard to say quickly. 😝

[@bolewts58]

Yet again, another rich and elegant production. Kylie's food jumps out at the viewer in succulent 3D, teasing the taste-buds and leaving us wanting more. BTW, having lived and worked in the Middle East in the past, I acquired a taste for various versions of hummus. Yours is classic and classically good. If you want to experiment a little, try adding a pinch of curry powder, chilli powder, nutmeg or cinnamon and using lime juice instead of lemon for slightly different tastes. Just like an Italian Nonna have their own family ragu recipe, so too do Arab and Israeli grannies have their own personal version of hummus.
