What a beautiful couple and family. John and Brian are like friends we’ve never met. I love that they made a change for themselves and their boys. I am so happy for their success.❤️

[@edwardwiot6265]

Great interview! Love Preppy Kitchen.

[@soilofk]

John took my fear from baking! He makes it so fun and his vulnerability in the kitchen (showing mistakes) makes it so real. Every recipe I made from him has turned out amazing! #beautifulfamily

[@rl1314]

Been following John and Preppy Kitchen for a while and love seeing him do well. He deserves it. He's been working hard and every recipe I've tried has been great!!

[@PrincessAndMonkey]

How have I missed this? Great interview John and Brian! And I think a farm channel would be great. I just watched the NYC video so this checks off a lot of my questions. Thanks for giving us a bigger peek into your lives.

[@nealm7331]

Completely heartwarming. What a beautiful and inspiring family!

[@anujamukherjee2056]

So happy for both of you.....you are living your dream life ! Wishing both of you years and years of love, laughter and sunshine....hugs to both your sons....wish you are blessed with little daughters now !

[@brendawallingford2276]

I’m so glad this interview came up as a suggestion on KZbin! I love “Preppy Kitchen”! Nice to learn the back-story about the move, etc. thanks for sharing!

[@jelsner5077]

This was awesome! I just assumed that Brian transferred to another high profile job in NYC. It's been nice to see him and the boys featured more in John's videos. I can't wait to get the new cookbook. Best of luck to John, Brian and the boys.

[@Hummingbirds2023]

You’re darling sons are so well mannered and adorable. You and hubby have done a wonderful job raising good kids! You and hubby are well mannered too!! LOL ✌🏻🇺🇸

[@crystalmichelle659]

I’m just now discovering this lovely story of your lives!! ❤ I so enjoy Preppy Kitchen! I adore your entire family as well! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@richball9576]

It's a whole new twist on green acres! I love it! Great job guys, I look forward to catching up on your videos.

[@rhosa8373]

Thanks for sharing. They're an amazing and joyful family to watch. I love ❤ 😍!

[@kathleenpalmer845]

I have made and enjoyed many of your recipes. Watching you cook is such fun entertainment - you bring an immediate smile to my face. Seeing more of the two of you and the boys has been icing on the cake.

[@kimclarke5018]

Love 💗 Preppy Kitchen and John. Great recipes, totally endearing host. Brian has been coming into the videos more recently, and the boys and it really is entertaining. Been to Litchfield county and also want to move up there because quality of life and peacefulness.

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

This was such a good interview. John and Brian are so personable and your questions were absolutely spot on, exploring things I'd always been curious about. And your reindeer aspirations were the icing on the cake. Subscribed. Happily!

[@carolinewalls4297]

I have watched so many Preppy Kitchen videos, I've learnt so much from them, thank you from Helsinki :-) Your love for each other shone out in this video, so so heart warming

[@josephinelynch9138]

Preppy Kitchen is my favorite cooking show. I only found out you moved to a farm a couple of days ago when I ran into the farm video. I especially loved the Christmas cookie decelerating show with the family, and now you have cute animals. Btw 5 miles down the road from me this farm has reindeer, about 4. I hope they are pets.... I just made your lemon tart it turned out great. XOXO ❤

[@christinestratton8801]

Heartwarming, both of you!!! I've enjoyed PREPPY KITCHEN , and LOVED your PRIDE show! I have just subscribed and can't wait to watch more. Thank you for letting all of us get to know Brian , and to watch your adorable sons.❤

[@alilove5618]

Just wanted to shout out to John Kanell ! Love your videos Thanks for sharing :)

[@nikkipattillo2319]

I have been watching John’s videos for ages and trying his recipes. Thank you for making it so easy and just having that lovely personality that makes it fun. I am growing my own vegetables now and trying to cook everything from scratch. Some days are good and some note so good. It really helps to watch someone else do the recipes step by step. It makes it seem easier. I wish you would give more of a time table. Like when you did the pizza dough and let it double in a warm oven. You didn’t say how long that took or how long you mixed the dough for. Thank you, thank you and many blessings to you. It was nice seeing your husband as well. I think you should have him on to taste test🥰

[@sonjasrensen5132]

I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you🤗. I see al the cooking videos. Enjoy your passion John and way of teaching. Much love Sonja From Denmark

[@christinesparks6297]

It is wonderful to see you and your family living life away from the city life and on a farm. So much to do and learn.

[@natalialopes719]

John, I borrowed your book from the library…twice. My daughter-in-law and I thought the book was lovely. There were so many recipes we wanted to try. It is on my Christmas wish list…if I can wait that long!

[@andreapickett3676]

Hey John, love your channel and I can't cook for nothing But I try and you are my go to chef. I have a question, I've heard that when people pre-order books they get an autographed copy. Will I be receiving a autographed of your book? I'm sure I'll continue to watch and hit the like button even if I don't. I am your long distance neighbor down here in Virginia, welcome to the east coast.

[@nancydorn2524]

[@theresamimnaugh1190]

❤You guys are fabulous in every way! I “stumbled” upon John and Preppy Kitchen a few months ago, and I just can’t get enough…recipes, tutorials, farm life snippets, and of course, those two gorgeous boys. What more can I say than you’re doing life right. May your family be blessed always ❤

[@SamNYC2000]

13:12 - a huge percentage of honey you see in the stores has sugar added to it (and there's a labeling loophole in the US).

[@deborahodriscoll3924]

I stumbled onto this quite by accident! What amazing role models you both are for same sex marriage, and same sex parents. I had been watching some of "Preppy Kitchen" and absolutely love the recipies as well as the video's. You both just exude love.... love for each other... love for family and animals, which of course become family. John your passion for cooking is simply inspiring! I have a disabling chronic illness which has me housebound as well as bedridden at times, but watching you in the kitchen has got me back to cooking, on my good days. So thank you very much! May you Brian and family continue to spread your joy and love forever more! 💞

[@cristinweekley2547]

I just love you guys and little family so cute. Pride For Ever!

The thought of a channel dedicated to your farm reminds mr of the old tv. Show “Green Acres “. Do it!

I LOVE watching Preppy Kitchen. So FUN watching the family interacting. John, Brian, the twin little boys, John's lovely mom, and all of the farm animal Pets.

[@ellenspear50]

My god, they must keep really busy. All that on top of two lively children.

[@dianesmiles5227]

I love your farm. Do you have help on the farm?

[@marysharvey]

I have watched The Preppy Kitchen since it’s beginning. Love learning what wonderful guys are behind it all.

[@recoveringsoul755]

They definitely need ducks, since duck eggs are the secret ingredient in French baking. I don't see what purpose tiny horses give. Goats provide milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, basically all the dairy products. Chickens for eggs and meat. I try to buy local honey

[@annakat3754]

id love to hear their birth journey

[@milagroscintron3040]

I love Preppy Kitchen, I enjoy this interview and the dynamics of this beautiful family.
