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.
Please don’t follow me on Facebook as that person is not me – they have stolen my identity for the past few years.

    Thank you for watching! This episode was a little delayed because of technical issues with the footage, Ferragosto, and Gianfranco and I being sick this week with the flu. Hoping you will enjoy this slow-paced Italian cooking lesson, especially those of you learning Italian.

    Forgive me if I’m too personal but I noticed you did not drink. I have been struggling with alcohol myself. Do you have any advice for someone who no longer wants to drink but feels pressured?
    Again I apologize if this is not the right platform to ask this sort of question

    Brava Mariza! Thanks for your wonderful display of bread making. I too make breads and focaccia. I completely agree with you that the process of working with dough is very relaxing, almost meditative. I always worry when making bread that I am too "liberal" with the recipe as the quantities of ingredients varies with weather, humidity, etc. Knowing you use your eyes and hands to make adjustments to each batch depending on the environment gives me confidence to do the same.

    What a joy to watch the making of focaccia. What torture to not be able to taste! I know it was delicious:)
    Thank you also to Marzia. I could listen to her speaking Italian all day.

    Everything looked divine and that cheesecake was beautiful and a lovely gift to your neighbour. How wonderful this baking was for all of us. Makes me hungry to watch.

    marzia is so talented. what a lovely video – i watched all the way to the end while having a lazy sunday morning waiting for my partner to come back from the bakery. i also appreciate all the crunchy asmr sounds from guido. thank you!

    I enjoyed this episode so very much. Not just the Master Class-style instructional video but Guido’s pure enthusiasm and instinctive ASMR contributions, your joy at Focaccia consumption, and your dual parenting exclamation when Gianfranco joined in on the experience. We really felt like we were sitting at the table with your family.

    Che piacere seguire una maestra impastare come da bambina ricordo mia nonna in cucina! Thank you Kylie for sharing.

  22. Serena Robin

    This was SO Lovely! Any chance we can do some kind of really wonderful gf version? Drooling and weeping, as a true celiac, lol!

    Kylie this Episode was awsome.
    Because this process take a while, once done after one cuts the portions and turns them into balls, can they be frozen at this stage to use during the week?
    It was a shame us viewers can taste it, but, trust me, I'm drooling and getting full just watching.
    😭😭😭😭😭 It all looks SOOOO good. 😢😢
    Thanks for your time and resources as well as your lovely neighbour. Of course Guido shows up on time. Lol.
    Love you 3. God bless! 🤟🏼🖖🏼🙏🏼

    Kylie Please do more cooking and baking shows with this wonderful friend. You two work so well together and a compliment to each other. Thanks for sharing. Maybe special holidays in Tuscany like Christmas.

  31. Cassandra Lea Wilson

    Lovely! And she must have been so happy to leave with the figs and that cake! Thanks for showing us this real time focaccia bread making. It was real treat! <3

  32. Josiane Polidori

    This video makes me hungry even if I just cooked a homemade lamb and apricot tagine. Your neighbour Marzia is such a good baker. It is interesting to hear her Toscan accent. Grazie a loro.

  33. Dr. Susan Chaudoir

    Kylie I am so envious we could not taste this ourselves! Wow! Amazing woman to share her secrets of foccacia. Once the chicken coup can be completed, you should definitely plan for on-site cooking workshops at your place. 🫓🥖 Wouldn't that be marvelous?!!! Keep living life to the full with such bounty & goodness!

    Good morning Kylie! This one was special for me. I have a bakery (with my husband), in a little town in Belgium. Your friend is right when it comes to home baking and professional baking. We are lucky to be still able to do things the old fashion way, with 60-70 years old machines (the ones sold today would never hold for such a long time). I still enjoy home baking even though I can eat bread every single day. Much love!
