I could watch Kevin set a table all day long... The results are always spectacular.

[@donnarowe1890]

I agree with you!

[@faithkerry4050]

Kevin is smooth, attainable elegance … not stiff or pretentious. As Goldilocks said …. “just right”!

I can’t believe I missed this one. Very relaxing and easily doable dinner party menu.

[@kitbenson8078]

I'm always uplifted by your videos, but was really surprised this evening when my partner called out from the kitchen: "Is that Kevin? Hold on. I'll be there in a moment." Another fan for you!❤

[@cherievivian9830]

Simply Sublime !

[@lisaray9404]

It is always so lovely to spend time with you, Mr. Kevin. I enjoy every minute of your videos. I wish I had more time these days to get caught up, but I do what I can. The new school year is always super busy. Thank you for all that you do! 😊💖🙏

[@heritagehall6243]

Kevin dear, although all things Kevin are elegant, it is the warmth and simplicity of your preps and presentation that lend serenity to the process. I imagine your doing it while "floating" just above the floor... so smooth and gracious. It is a blessing to sit at your beautifully appointed table and talk about all things enriching. Heritage Hall

[@sunshinepatsoph4219]

[@cindygarrison6338]

I think tapioca is way underused in cooking these days. So delicious. And great in pies, to absorb juices. It's a delicious pudding! Love your innovative meals, with ease of prep in mind, Kevin! 😘

[@vallowther262]

So relaxing to watch and to know we can have guests to visit at home again!

[@_de_reve]

when i need a pick me up (after having been fighting with my doctoral thesis all morning) i watch your videos Kevin and they always bring me joy!!!

Thank you for sharing bits of your life and recipes with us!!! Greetings from a stressed european student that learns very much from you!

[@Maria-from-Denmark]

[@pjreads5014]

I love your videos, and enjoy your "do ahead" approach to entertaining. I appreciate all the tips you include.

[@srkelley5790]

I love the drive to the berry farm. I live in Mexico and we do not have vistas like this. We are all mountains and I love the serenity of this drive. And I love the produce you buy. We are limited here. Your music is perfect for what you are showing. And the recipes! I come here when I want to calm down. Thank you, Kevin!

[@boilermaker79]

Thank you so much much for the FANTASTIC recipe ideas!!!

[@mavep2855]

I always enjoy the format of your vlogs…trip to the berry farm and to get flowers for your table. Your menus are always simple enough that you can be a guest at your own party. Thank you Kevin.🙏❤️💐

[@betsymcgovern3267]

I can't wait to try that soup. A use for all my basil from my balcony garden. Thank you as always, you Paradise Maker, you!

[@nicinaude6189]

Thank you, Kevin, for yet another wonderful video. It actually feels like l'm standing right there inside your kitchen while you are busy preparing the most wonderful dishes. The soup looks beautiful in those soup bowls. l just want to run to my kitchen and try out today's recipes. Lol. I can't wait to taste that soup. It looks SO delicious.

[@rosalindd1386]

Simple yet so elegant ! Thank you for sharing Kevin!

[@a.phillips6892]

I look forward to seeing your beautiful floral arrangements, firstly. They are always so pretty, and the fact that you use things from your own garden is an added bonus. The soup looks so amazing…I will definitely be making! Salmon is my favorite entree for sure. It all makes for a perfect dinner party! I even got to see sweet Avery at the end…I always look for him. Thank you so much for your channel💓

[@teresaramos1719]

Oh Kevin , you are truly teaching us the art of slowing down, connecting with others sans phones and screens , in other words: the art of living..😉❤️

[@gailroscoe7809]

I’m watching this for the third time. Wishing I had someone who would enjoy it to cook for. 😂

Just fabulous!

[@fridayschild19]

Another enjoyable and elegant dinner for me to serve! Thank you Kevin, for your fabulous channel.💖

[@arj-peace]

I cannot wait to try the soup! I often use cashews to make sauces creamy without dairy, but haven't tried it with soup. Thanks for the ideas and another lovely video. 💕

[@dr.allisongunneph.d.6494]

Kevin, what a beautiful dinner party meal. I so like that you teach us how to split it up over 2 days. At my age, with my health situation, I have confidence I can do this as well! Blessings, Allison 🌼

[@happyday8280]

Oh my goodness I’d love a bowl of that glorious soup! I’m going to make some this week ! Your recipes are easy and so good.. your table looks fab . I think Avery would have loved some of that fish as well ! ❤😄🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏

[@francesthompson1324]

[@GinaW7061]

Another wonderful dinner party, thank you Kevin. I love the table setting and the beautiful flower arrangement you made. See you soon 🌼

[@greenmoss9079]

A Salmon and veggies sheet is one of my go too in the Summer! Full of protein and good stuff! It doesn't weigh you down when you eat it. I really liked your floral arrangement , it gave off a nice late Summer vibe 😊😊

[@shandaethompson3516]

A beautiful tutorial on simple elegance. Always a refreshing timeout in my day💕 Thank you, Kevin!

[@Kitkatbreak3]

You're delightful. Thank you for showing us how to bring high-class elegance to our everyday lives! Also, thank you for saying this could even be for a dinner party for one (with lots of leftovers)! You're a joy.

[@adriaschumann9641]

A beautiful job of flower arranging. Thank you for giving us the strength to try to do flower arranging.

[@taowright]

OK now I'm hungry! Everything looks so delicious -- I will try these recipes for sure. Thank you, Kevin -- wonderful video! 💗

[@LikeASamba]

Did you ever watch the film Babette's Feast? Your videos remind me a bit of the spirit depicted in that film. It's so important - the propriety, generosity, and kindness in gracious living.

[@TuckerSP2011]

Every component of your dinner looked delicious. The zucchini soup is definitely a must try!

[@nancyvance2772]

I am going to have the exact same menu at a dinner party I'm having in a couple of weeks! Yum! Thanks for the glorious ideas, Kevin.

[@dlgoodwin1542]

Gorgeous arrangement as usual, Kevin!! I’m definitely going to try the zucchini soup! I have tons of basil in my garden.

[@TraciLMiller]

I LOVE when you use this china, it is stunning! The soup I will try this weekend, thank you for being you Kevin!

[@donnaclinton5578]

Looks like a wonderful meal. Enjoyed watching this after a very stressful week. It was very comforting in a time when despair hit my family. Thank you for your heartwarming videos Kevin.

[@maryandrews4097]

I was delighted to see a tapioca pudding recipe. My three generation family favourite, fruit tapioca, is a rather more calorific version, served in a sizeable cut glass bowl. The seed tapioca (smaller than the larger "frogspawn" variety - much despised here in the UK in it's manifestation in mid 20th century school dinners), is first cooked together with the milk (1.5pts), thinly pared lemon rind and sugar, then removed from the heat when the yolks of two eggs are beaten in, together with a knob of butter. The egg whites are then whipped to stiff peaks and folded into the mixture creating a souffle like texture This is piled onto colourful stewed fruit already in the glass bowl; any kind of red/purple plums, apricots or even rhubarb paired with raspberries are best. The courgette (zucchini)soup sounds really alluring. Unlike the rest of Europe the UK after a lovely, very dry period early on is having a miserably wet, cold and windy summer but it means that courgettes are in abundance and cheap, so that is definitely on the menu. I do admire the way that you make a real ceremony of your meals, real love feasts, an attitude toward food which had been hard won in contrast to the vast array of, in many cases today, over processed foodstuffs available today. The civilising effect of sitting round a table, enjoying the food and engaging in proper conversation, on children is vital.

[@Diane18]

Great menu. Can’t wait to make this!!! Thank you! Love your channel!

[@mahajaramillo498]

Love the menu, I like the way you cook and keep in the freezer for other day, very good and love the way you put your tables. Thank you for teaching us so many things old, modern and new

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

Our dinner party last night was superb! Lots of leftovers for. Nice Sunday lunch! I love me some KLJ lifestyle videos!

[@ladyw605]

Lovely, my friend, is most definitely an understatement!!!!! I own a very similar, if not identical, candelabra pair. I admire this table setting SO MUCH!!!!!

[@dianehall5345]

Very nice Kevin. The table scape was artfully coordinated. I love the attention to detail that you put into your dinners. Salmon is a favorite of mine. I have always been a bit intimidated by miso, but will try the white miso in that delicious zucchini soup. ~ Diane

[@ninashelley5044]

Oh my you do it up so beautifully. Your guests are in for a treat. I will try the salmon .

[@DajanaWindtSpaargaren]

Hello Mr Kevin, this combination of recipes is one of my favorites. I could taste the flavors watching your video today. Thank you very much ❤

Wow tapioca was always my horror at ‘school dinners’ way back in history, definitely going revisit it with this recipe sending love 🇬🇧

Tapioca pudding scared me when it was offered for school lunch. Now I love it!

[@M15Guys]

Thoroughly enjoyable and cannot wait to try the soup recipe xx

[@isabelperez3967]

Kevin, you are amazing, love your wonderful recipes!

[@melissalambert7615]

I love everything about this menu. The chilled soup looks very interesting. I enjoy chilled soups and will definitely make a small batch of it soon. Nice the soup and salmon both go well with your wine choice. Nice and straight forward to have just the one wine. Best wishes from Willamette Valley Oregon.

[@maris-k5269]

Hello Kevin, it was my third recipe I tried from your videos (Victoria cake and meat pie). But this one with the salmon in Asian marinade baked with simple vegetables is superb I decided to comment for the first time. I enjoy your videos-your entertainment style, recipes, beautiful house and garden:) Thank you😊 Mari

[@mariabanholzer5960]

Adore to come with you in the shops! The flower arrangements, everything inspiring...😊

Do you happen to have a good, old-fashioned recipe for Lemonade?

[@DeanRussellHickey]

You've become as much a personality as you are a chef. Question: Are 'cups' in measuring ingredient contents not universal? You translate them and I'm not sure why that is??

[@laurenl5843]

Wonderful dinner and table setting. Thanks for the great ideas! 😊💜👍
