Afternoon Tea | Lemon Madeleines Recipe

[@sagisli]

Fabulous is every possible way. Thank you Kevin! For twelve minutes, I was transported into an elegant and beautiful setting enjoying every minute visiting with you.

[@andreagoble5353]

Me too! Even in my grungy lunch room at work on my lunch break! Don't forget the hat and gloves😉

[@loiscreighton5798]

I think, even more than your wonderful recipes, videos that make those recipes come alive, and your helpful hints and expertise, what I appreciate most is your demonstrating and reinforcing "gracious living" with your videos. Thank you!

[@terrimirarchi7786]

Kevin, I love the way you nod your head up & down after you take a taste of your creation.....classic! Love your channel!

[@dr.allisongunneph.d.6494]

Kevin, I enjoy all of your videos, especially calming as I recover from total knee replacement surgery (15 days post op). Pain is well, we won’t describe that…today I’m exercising the right knee & watching all your videos on tea time, that’s what we call it in the Deep South. Iv traveled the UK and so enjoyed all of the formal and informal afternoon tea parties! Blessings 🌼

[@kjmav10135]

Marcel Proust waxed poetic about madeleines in “Swann’s Way.” Now I see what the poetry was about!

[@kitwren1797]

I want to have a Tea Party using my great grandmother's footed teacups, saucers. I have lots of vintage handkerchiefs & doilies that I plan to layer over the tablecloth.

[@colleen4574]

Doesn't Kevin make it look easy? What a lucky man Mr. Fox must be.. Lovely flowers and what a lovely tea.

[@nicinaude6189]

Oh absolutely, Colleen. I agree with you 100%.

[@danielahoti4109]

Colleen, I am new to this truly wonderful channel with Mr. Kevin Lee Jacobs. Can you please tell me who is Mr. Fox? Thanking you in advance ❣️

[@frankieamsden7918]

I love the way you did the filming so we could feel as though we were sitting at the table with you!

[@DarcieGlam]

What a great recipe! I didn't know how easy madeleines were to make and the the fact you can freeze them (if they last that long lol) is wonderful!

[@cheribeldin3588]

Kevin, you are a delight to watch. Love your presentation, your presence, and your pleasantness.

[@bc927]

Thank you Kevin!! I never thought these would be so easy to make!! How lovely and delicious they look! 💗

[@artistscatalogue7068]

So ADORABLE! Great recipes, and such a relaxing mood from Kevin, always! Formal and warm at the same time.

[@jillkeim3587]

Just Beautious! Love the music room, the color scape, and of course the delicious looking recipe. Now if only the piano was playing! Thank you Kevin!!! Hope your day is glorious!

[@maryandrews4097]

Oh Kevin! You've done it again! So many happy memories have been triggered by this video! I can't wait to try the recipe - it's a seriously grown up version of my reciept for madeleines. So much so that I feel I must refer to it as the latter. I had not realised that rose water could be used in the mixture. At this time of year I am so poignantly reminded of my mother's Christmas cookery, which included home made Turkish delight made with leaf gelatine; the pink flavoured with rose water and the white with lemon juice. Her unrivalled Christmas cake infused with sweet sherry (Harvey's Bristol Milk) and whisky was also mixed with rose water. Showing your silver tea strainer also brought back another Christmas memory. My mother like many women of her generation entertained her female friends* with afternoon tea and also had all the proper appertinences, sugar tongs, silver teapot, silver plated spirit kettle, etc. but lacked a decent tea strainer. I decided to buy her one for Christmas. I was shopping in the West End of London, and walking down Regent Street when I came upon Garrard's, the royal silversmith and jewellers. With all the innocence and bravado of youth, I sailed in to be met by the shop walker (a sort of major domo of the establishment,) attired in black coat and striped trousers, and was surrounded by displays of diamonds and emeralds. Having explained that I was looking for a silver-plated tea strainer I was ceremoniously conducted through various sections of diminishing grandeur until we reach a rather dingy little room where the least sophisticated items were on offer! The very thing I needed was produced and which I have today. I still laugh about this rather ludicrous transaction which, even in the late 1950s was rather "olde world". * Another note about old fashioned ladies' tea parties, my mother's grander visitors, while they took off their outer garments, always kept their hats on; I suppose to suggest that they recognised that one should not outstay one's welcome in view of the fact that the man of the house would be expected home fairly soon and expecting his dinner. How times have changed!

[@watthaile2053]

I enjoy your videos Kevin. No one else I know does the kind of videos you do. Best regards.

[@adriaschumann9641]

I'm so excited! This is a new video. I've finally caught up on all the old videos AND I LOVE THEM. Tea Time is important in our family in that my entire maternal side - now gone, of course - was British and then became naturalized Americans. But my Nana, who made Madelaines, never quite gave up her loyalty to the queen. In fact, when I was a little girl, Nana went back for Elizabeth's Coronation! Times have changed so much. So very much. But not tea time in the afternoon. Today, I will make pumpkin breads, per a plan, Next week, Madelaines. Thank you. And of course, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a very blessed Christmas.

[@roxannetoth5026]

My favorite cookie and treat when I travel. Oddly, have never made these in my many years of baking. Looked at several recipes this year... but yours is absolutely wonderful and much better than what I've been buying. Will make them for Christmas and hope they come out as well as yours here. I love the rose water and glaze! Beautiful job, Kevin. Merry and blessed Christmas to you, Mr. Fox and all here! Thx for all your great work and the relaxation and good vibes and good I get from your channel. Peace and love 💕

[@juniperjames292]

Another video from Kevin, now my day is complete! ~ I appreciate learning the French cooking terms, and your splashes of humor throughout 🙂I am going to attempt this recipe this weekend. Tea time for me is a sort of mindfulness where I can 'press pause' on the day. Adding this sweet treat will be a bonus ❤🌹

[@rosalindd1386]

Thank you for another fantastic recipe Kevin ! I make the vanilla Madeline's but yours are over the top ! Baking the glaze makes all the difference in the world! I live in the North of Ontario Canada so finding thing's up here can be difficult ! So greatfull for Amazon! Have a wonderful day Kevin & Thank you again!

[@ricardapoznanski5604]

Ohhh .... I never knew,those can look so exquisite. I knew them only-please don't laugh-from the supermarket-bakery-shop ...and I liked them allways....BUT ..havinn watched your video and seen yours now...I realize; what a difference there can be.... yours look wondeeful...and as allways .... your setting ....and my favorite tea( Earl Grey)......in your beautiful music room ..is a fairy-tale tea time....

[@BeckyB11]

So lovely! Thank you, Kevin! Looking forward to the Christmas vlog!

[@clementineclement5757]

Famous French author Marcel Proust made madeleine cakes even more famous in his 1913 novel Du Côté de chez Swann . Just a bite and he was instantly reminded of his aunt Léonie and all his childhood in a flashback, . Since, it has become a kind of proverb, and I'm sure everybody has got their own "madeleine", that is a perfume, or some food bringing back to them all their past memories or emotions. Sometimes, when I invite and there's a slight lull in conversation, asking : "What's your madeleine de Proust ?" immediately rekindles most interesting topics among guests. Culture and food, excellent combination.

[@annesoper911]

I am excited to watch your Christmas series.

[@carolavant3778]

Keven, those look perfect! Again, I wish I lived close by and could enjoy an afternoon tea with you! 🥰

[@KS-ts3le]

That was out of the park. Love your floral arrangement, I will copy that one. Very, very elegant.ah a first….aprin.😅

[@DajanaWindtSpaargaren]

Dear Mr. Kevin, I want to thank you for always giving your cooking measurements in the metric numbers. Even though I have been living in the USA for 15 yrs, I still go back to my German scale to measure out my Mother's baking recipes in "g" or "ml". Thank you for lighting up my lunchbreak at work with another wonderful afternoon tea. I am so excited to see your Christmas Vlog. Stay warm and healthy. Greetings

[@EMB238]

Thank you Kevin!

[@grnwillow4632]

Lovely as usual. I love your exact time measurement of the arm falling off. I agree! Hopefully we all can make some time for a bit of beauty and relaxation. Thanks for helping with that, and all your time. Looking forward to the vlog....

[@sherrygraham8650]

I must find my pan now, had it for years but never made them, it is time.

[@suzannec4765]

You are a breath of fresh air in a calamitous world. Thank you 🦘

[@Janice_1979_]

I could join you for tea today Kevin. Busy online schooling my daughters and housework today, I need a break. Lovely just lovely Kevin. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[@donnajones9181]

What a wonderful Life!! yes, I am looking forward to your Christmas vlog this year with lots of love, Donna

[@annacathrinenikolouzos2275]

Hello,Kevin. Although you are on your own in your lovely kitchen you have a magical way of embracing all of us… I feel that I am there with you.Thanks one more time for another wonderful video. I wish you and your family only the best in life.❤Love from sunny Greece.

[@a.phillips6892]

What a lovely tea service! The Madeleines look delicious! Thank you.

[@BOMBAY_CAT]

I love everything about this video! Your music room is beautiful! Earl Grey is my favorite tea! Thanks Kevin🌸

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

Well, Avery wants a French lemon/rose cake 🤣 ME too Avery !

[@sherilynpeters6459]

Exquisite. Anything lemon is always a great thing.

[@clarerobbins37]

Lovely viewing I can feel my blood pressure dropping…. So relaxing.

[@Christina...66]

Hi Kevin... your Madelines are absolutely exquisite. And your video certainly does take us away from this crazy world for 12 whole minutes ... what a treat... thank you

[@elidamaggi7098]

Greetings from Santa Fe, ARGENTINA. 🇦🇷 I' ll try your madeleines, Kevin. Watching your vídeos makes me feel good. You are such a sweet person 🎀

[@nicinaude6189]

Thank you, Kevin. It's always lovely to try out your great recipes. And l looooove your beautiful home. Stunning, stunning!!

[@LillydeMontagne]

And another wonderful recipe I will try. ☺️ Thank you for all your videos, your smiles, explanations, happy childhood memory triggers, for inviting us into your gorgeous and peaceful home and for…. everything. 😊

[@arj-peace]

Cheers!

[@tamaranicholaschilds8097]

Oh Kevin! Again Delightful! I’ve never made Madeleines but will now. I could smell the lemon and rose water as you made these. Thank you for a the video and I look forward to to your Christmas vlog. 😊

[@michellelafleur4232]

Kevin I so much enjoy your presentations. Came across your videos just recently and when I watch your presentation, I feel like I’m just going over to a friend’s house while they cook or do a project Very informative and unique. Though I’ve been cooking for many years I’ve been inspired to be more creative and add more enjoyment to everyday life with something special. Thank you for all your hard work. You have a special gift in creativity and teaching.

[@vintagegal541]

Thanks, Mr. Kevin!

[@elidamaggi7098]

Greetings from Santa Fe, ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 You made me remember Marcel Proust and mis famous MADELEINE, in his book "À la Recherche du Temps Perdu".

[@PatriciaSouza-ug4cf]

Your dinners are simple only in the prep. They look elegant and delicious.

[@kellyscarolinagarden]

I can watch your channel all day. I love you give the measurements for U.S & UK viewers. You're so kind, thoughtful a true treasure🥰

[@MrScottie68]

He is indeed very kind to provide metric measurements. However, nearly no cooking or baking videos I’ve watched from the UK extend that same courtesy to US viewers by giving Imperial measurements……even though the USA is using the UK’s original measurement system.

[@marilynmegibow9404]

You are so completely inspiring and motivating Kevin. Your teaching entered my life upon EXACTLY the perfect timing. I found my own Mr Foxy. Thank you dear Sir.

[@kathrinweber344]

I love you, Kevin. You add a sweetness to my Sunday mornings. Thank you for all that you share - your recipes, your spark, and your home. Happy Holidays!

[@rickm5271]

I love your sense of humor! It makes the videos even more enjoyable.

[@brucestuller5908]

Watching your show is like stepping back in time to the victorian era. I love that. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful holidays

[@janefinlaw2977]

Thank you Kevin for the wonderful demonstrations of afternoon tea and cake

[@dianemayer177]

You can bring a sweet serenity to a dreary day!

[@lisaray9404]

Oh, how I would love to have tea with you. You inspire me so very much! The Madeleines look too pretty to eat, but I can imagine how wonderful they must taste. You are the best of the BEST. Thank you for all that you do! Take care and be safe. Enjoy your lovely afternoon tea time. ☺💖🙏

[@lisaray9404]

PS: Thank you for the links to the Madeleine pans and tea strainers. I have put them in my Amazon cart along with some other baking items you have aforementioned using. Many thanks! 🙏

[@michaelgray1123]

What an elegant setting!!!! I love your teapot. It's beautiful.

[@Change4Good333]

Dear Kevin, I will start looking for a beautiful tea set, start trying your recipes and sit with you to have tea. What a wonderful inspiration you are💫

[@joancollier4488]

Wow! How lovely. I really enjoy being transported into your cooking adventures from the kitchen to the music room once again. I have made madeleines quite a long time ago now but never glazed them and I love that you've also added another dimension by adding the rose water. I'll be making these this weekend! Thank you!

[@mavep2855]

How lovely! Thank you so much for this delightful recipe. A very elegant afternoon tea! I am looking forward to your Christmas vlog.🎄❤️🙏

[@cimg9673]

Thank you for another lovely meeting. It was a privilege to enjoy the afternoon tea. Cakes - delicious, indeed.

[@wisdomwolf163]

Beautiful!

[@Sally-nse2]

What a lovely Madeleine recipe, I was actually just in the kitchen baking some of your wonderful chickpea brownies. “Kevin’s Brownies” as they are known now- sooo popular wherever I take them and I love people’s expression after they have tasted and gone wild about them, only to learn the ingredients and how healthy and easy they are. These madeleines look very much worth a try also, so thank you Kevin, just love seeing you with the Earl grey in the music room - so elegant and the wallpaper is exquisite, the most peaceful and satisfying 12 minutes I have had all week. 👏☺️

[@originalchoochoo]

Oh how I love Madeleines! And I love everything you make! Happy Day!

[@soniaschafer7483]

Kevin, thank you for the recipe. I am so addicted to Madeleine.

[@SlimshadyVictoria]

When life is spinning out of control it’s time to sit down, relax, and watch some of your videos. I’ve made some of your recipes and they are always a success. Greetings from Sāo Paulo, Brazil!

[@M15Guys]

I swear that I could sense the fragrance of rose and lemon whilst I watched this and your soothing voice brought my blood pressure down !! Such a feel good vlog xx

[@leslikuyweski4576]

I love making madeleines! They are perfect with tea. When I make vanilla ones, I brown the butter. It gives them a light nutty flavor. Delicious!

[@iwonagrzeskowiak1069]

👍👍👍💖💖💖💎💎💎✨✨✨ Fascynujące!Aż dech zapiera!I do tego ten piękny bukiet kwiatów😊...

[@claramariamontesdeoca6362]

Hi Kevin, delicious Madelaine thank you.

[@ofield6561]

Thank you Kevin. I've had a stressful day and this video was very soothing.

[@Wanda6308]

Thank you for this delightful recipe. I was just telling my husband that I needed to come up with a treat to bring to our family gathering on Christmas eve. We all exchange gifts and each bring a finger food or treat to pass. We play games, like Pictionary, Christmas Bingo, or any game relating to the theme of Christmas. It is a lot of fun. I have always loved French pastries, cakes ect. The flavors and textures are so wonderful. I was trying to make a recipe the other day, that I had found online, but had to convert measurements to our measurements. It was not an easy thing to do, but with the help of a conversation chart online I managed. I love it when you give us both conversations for us here in the US and those in other countries. I hope your thanksgiving was wonderful. We sure have a lot to be thankful for. May your Christmas be blessed and may you be surrounded with the love of family and friends. Thank you again for this wonderful recipe,

[@Ludivine664]

Thanks🥰 Kevin. I love madeleines. I will try your recipe this time around.

[@maryannanazawavlogs5420]

Definitely, I'm going to give your Madeleine a try. That look so awesome from kitchen to table setting. Thanks Kevin!

Still working on my table settings and really enjoy and learn from yours, Kevin. This one reminded me to pull out my vintage family small tea/cocktail napkins (with matching table runner). I'd forgotten I even had them! If you don't mind, will do a variation of your beautiful flower and evergreen arrangement also! Cheers. 🙂

I have a lovely Aynsley china tea strainer and bowl which gets used daily for afternoon tea even if I’m on my own. Your videos are delightful.

Thank you so much, Kevin. I have made madeleines many times in the past but your recipe is tops!! I make them at Easter and use various pastel colors, in the batter, so they resemble Easter eggs. I look forward to your recipes and your sweet, gentle ways. God bless you and your family, always. Sending prayers and love. 🙏❤🥰😘
