Stress-Free Dinner Party! Make-Ahead Recipes | Setting the Table

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

Kevin im sure im not alone when I say its such a relief to be exposed to your graciousness and warmth in this harsh world.

[@sl9991]

Isn’t that the truth! Who would have thought that refinement, manners and geniality would become a thing of the past. 🥺

[@dianemayer177]

You’re not alone. I’m having to change my diet for health and I’ve been looking at programs that are vegan. My blood work was rotten, so drastic move. Not 100% of the time, but close until I’m outta trouble. And I plan to eat what I can of KLJ s recipes, maybe modify. But so far he is in a league of his own with his classy programs.

You take us to a gentler, slower time where everything is savoured,there’s joy in the preparation instead of the fast paced microwave meals . Thank you and bon appétit.💕

You bring so much calm and warmth to the viewer by showing us how to perfectly enjoy our homes. At the end of a long and sometimes arduous work day, your videos are exactly what we need!

[@Shirley-AnneGraham]

Hi Kevin, just wanted to say the 1950's crisp apple dosh your making is called apple crumble and still very popular here in the UK. Love your channel . Much love...Shirley-Anne x

[@travelgirl747]

Also called Apple Crumble here in Australia. Custard, ice cream, cream.... goes with anything! (Or everything 😂)

[@prarieborn6458]

The Apple Crisp looks delightful. The topping mixture is familiar to me from the early 60’s, when I was s young bride.A friend showed me how to make “French “ and/or “Dutch” apple pie., using the mixture instead of a pastry crust on top It has slways been my family’s favorite way to have spple pie. . My Mother was fond of “Dutch Crunch” bread that was popular in the stores at the time. It was white bread that had a crunchy , not sweet, but buttery & savory. topping I have never seen it at the store that I can recall. I wonder if Kevin has or can create the recipe?

[@Bouncy_penguin]

Agreed apple crumble. Works beautifully with rhubarb too!

[@taylorashlock6309]

@@prarieborn6458Dutch crunch bread is alive and well at sandwich shops in the San Francisco Bay Area! I had never seen it before moving here and it really is delicious. I haven’t made it myself, but I remember seeing a recipe on the King Arthur flour website.

[@retrogamedreamer8761]

I discovered Chicken Marbella about 10 years ago. I am half Italian, but I'm the only one in my family that has ever made it that I know of. It is so amazing! I felt the same way you did, when I tasted it. It is one of my all time favorite recipes! Thanks for sharing it!!! By the way, I just love the occasional spontaneity: "Anticipation..." 😁🥰

Merci🎉

[@chrismatteson2337]

Kevin, you are such an inspiration!

[@melissalambert7615]

Been anticipating your video for days. 😄 So glad you are sharing the Marbella recipe. Found it about a year ago, it is as good as you say. Your recipe looks a bit better than the one I use. The Silver Palate cookbook is one of the few classic cookbooks I do not own. Might have to change that.

[@mariannetracy4248]

What a lovely menu! Can attest to this Chicken Marbella from Silver Palate. I made it back in the day and I packed it up straight from the oven for a little picnic at a nearby vineyard's outdoor concert one August afternoon. It worked out great, with just some cheese and a baguette, and grapes for dessert. People thought I was daft when they saw prunes in their chicken Ha Ha.

[@Bergantin23]

Wow, I still have a Silver Palate Book right here in Spain with me. This is one of the best books ever written.

[@MA-sk4fg]

That’s a new dish I will try soon. Thanks Kevin.

[@kaywallace6139]

Love your table
