Thank you for another great dinner menu Kevin! I was sharing your site with a friend and she kept saying that you reminded her of someone… but who? Then she exclaimed exclaimed “ Mr. Rogers! But for grownups”! Your kindness, your calm comforting demeanor, your gentleness with your audience, your wonderful ability to teach…. I think she’s right. Have you been told this before by other fans?

[@michellebennett8633]

I was just showing my grown daughter this channel today and we said the same thing! Kevin has the same warm, gentle spirit Mr. Rogers had- and that’s a wonderful compliment!

[@cindymuench5425]

Yes it is!

[@dianecarver4018]

Absolutely lovely. Throughly enjoyed.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for another delightful video. What a great idea to make the streusel in batches for the freezer. That would make impromptu dessert making so much more enjoyable. Have a wonderful day! ~ Jennifer

[@amymintzer6234]

Everything about your channel is sheer perfection- down to the very finest detail. Thank you, Kevin.

[@easystreetwithjen]

I'm cooking 3 entrées right now because I have been under the weather and not in the mood to cook. This trio still looks delightful.

[@juliepowell5941]

Delightful in every way. A real pleasure to share your hospitality and easy, delicious recipes. Thank you Kevin. That branch-blossom tip works with pear tree and forsythia twigs too - spectacular!

[@fridayschild19]

Kevin, you have given us another beautiful dinner idea that is simple and elegant! It is such a joy to share time with you. Thank you for your lovely home and vlogs, too!❤❤

Dear Kevin, I am so enjoying your beautiful classy videos ❤❤❤ so cozy! The recipes are great and easy to cook , taste wonderful! Many many thanks for sharing your life style. It brings so much inspiration ❤

[@jeaninemartin]

Kevin everything looked absolutely delicious again this week. In fact, I tempted my 35 year-old son Vincent to watch: he loves everything “penne pasta.” He was impressed with your mannerisms, your teaching ability to make the 3 course dinner doable, the ease of flow in the kitchen (he did laugh and say sarcastically that I didn’t appear as fluid, and the elegance of eating in your beautiful room! “Wow…very nice, was his final comment!” Good to see you again ♥️

[@zerdda]

Kevin - I surely wish we were neighbors! How delightful it would be to spend an afternoon with you in your garden and kitchen. Thank you for inviting us in virtually.

[@mavep2855]

So happy to see spring arriving in your neck of the woods. Today we are having a blustery snowstorm with no sign of spring yet. Your menu was simple yet elegant and I know I would love all these recipes. Thank you Kevin for the pleasure of being your guest.🙏❤️

[@be_saltnlight]

Wonderful!!!! I haven't felt motivated to cook in the kitchen in a long, long time, and now I can hardly wait! Thank you so much... 💜

[@hollydewbean3248]

Yum! The red pepper salad is intriguing ❤

[@lgparker4726]

Spring is almost here; although in UK it is raining a lot! Love that pasta dish, I make it for my grandsons; one of which insists I put a squeeze of lemon juice on it as I serve it. I do love a crumble; any fruit is okay with me. 😋

[@sandrateets647]

Love all three recipes and I will be making all of them. This is the perfect spring dinner. So glad to see you making a recent dinner. Aloha from Tennessee

[@susanprice7202]

Thank you for another wonderful video! It was so relaxing, calm, and inviting into a day with you at your wonderful historic home! Thanks again!

[@JeffJefferson]

I have seen many a cream pasta sauce in my life…but a mint, parsley, pea, and bacon cream pasta sauce!!! I must try this for myself…WOW!

[@edithharmer1326]

❤Love it all! Enjoyable to see you and your program every time! Lovely, kind, beautiful Soul! ❤❤❤

[@a.phillips6892]

Tulips are my FAVORITE flowers! Everything looks so good! Set a place for Avery at the table!😉😂

[@kathleenpalmer845]

Superb presentation!!! Definitely trying all three dishes. I didn’t know that crab cuttings would bloom indoors - we have 3 trees I will go get cuttings from today as we are in for a winter storm tomorrow. Thank you so much for the care you put into your work for us .

[@nigella4me]

I just discovered your channel yesterday, binged until 10:00 last night. Your content is wonderful, the way you present your content is so relaxing, and your personality is SO likable. I am a subscriber now. So glad your video came into my feed, I am HOOKED! ❤

[@user-xl4zr1xw1o]

I remember like this was yesterday! Now it’s Thanksgiving. Scary fast 2023! I put grated shallot in my red pepper salad when I made it! It was a great addition!

[@verohappy9053]

Dear Kevin. How do I enjoy your delicious pictures ! Gives such a warm feeling and your recipes are so well explained. Greetings from the Netherlands!

While I don’t care for peppers or feta that pasta dish looks amazing and I’m going to try it. Your videos are so calming and gentle. Keep going!

[@greatedges]

The menu -- brilliant! What I also always enjoy are your bonus "tips," such as freezing strudel to have on hand, and one of my favorites, freezing celery. Of course there are many others too...all noted and appreciated. Truly enjoy your delightful videos!

[@swansfan6944]

In Australia it’s called corn flour as well and we have started Autumn but that’s not going to stop me from trying this berry crumble. It looks delicious 😋 Kevin. Thank you. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Kevin, another terrific video with great recipes. Your on camera presence is calming and so entertaining. Bravo from California 😎

[@maryjanepollock3567]

Lovely spring dinner! I appreciate how you have set a place for me, and that I can see the beautiful fire in the fireplace while I "dine". The menu looks delicious. The pasta is serious comfort food for me. I can almost taste it, and with a nice goblet of white wine. Yum! Of course I am a fan of roasted red peppers anything. Who wouldn't love the berry crumble with ice cream to complete the meal. Table setting by the fire is great as per usual. I can't wait to see the apple blossoms bloom eventually. Thank you for another wonderful video. Take care. See you next time.MJ♥️🌷🍷🐇🐣

[@nicinaude6189]

Thanks so much, Kevin, these dishes all look soooo delicious. Mouthwatering!! I really can't wait to prepare all of them. Sending love and tons of blessings.

Oh Kevin this is the most amazing dinner party treat for 2! Taken all the ingredients down and will be making this next weekend. Thank you so much for this menu so simple so colourful and easy to assemble - you are still my favourite all time cook!x

[@AvaT42]

I love the different dishes you serve your food on. Especially using a cup for the dessert that was so lovely, i had never thought of that.

[@DCo923]

You are too cute Kevin. Love watching your videos. I at one time lived in a historic house in CT., You bring back great memories and scrumptious recipes. My smallest ice cream scoop, but we always dig in for another.😉

[@katiegarrett8847]

The only thing wrong is I’m not sitting in the chair opposite you to taste your wonderful food and hear you in person. You feel like a friend even though I have never met you in person🥰

[@sigridgray4414]

I enjoyed being your guest Kevin, thanks

[@marymccue8455]

Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate your recipes, and the tour of your garden. Be well.

Dear Kevin, Your videos are always fabulous ! YOU, are such a beautiful and calming person. Thanks for sharing ! ❤❤

[@mitzimarquez2410]

Looks absolutely delicious. My mouth was watering while watching. 😊😊

[@normacurrin5610]

Thanks Kevin for this inspiring video. Hello from Johannesburg South Africa

[@maryandrews4097]

Can't wait to do the pasta recipe. It is rather a mystery to me as to why a thickening agent is added to the fruit in US pies and crumbles. In the UK we just enjoy the juice as it is. If I did decide to add thickener, I think I would try arrowroot, which would produce a clear and glossy result. I occasionally make a steamed pineapple sponge pudding, using tinned pineapple chunks; I crush some of the chunks and add to the mixture and put some whole chunks in the bottom of the bowl first. While the sponge is steaming, heat the remaining chunks and juice in a saucepan and thicken with arrowroot. Turn out the pudding and top with this sauce/glaze and serve with a rich custard. A little lemon juice in the sauce is good. Enjoy the spring David. 😮 The crab apple blossom will be lovely - such a good tree whatever the size of your garden with upright growth, delicate blossom and glowing fruit. If you can bear to pick the fruit jt makes wonderful jelly esp. good with lamb or game. To intensify the colour of the jelly add a few blackberries. The two favourite crumbles in the UK are rhubarb, flavoured either orange zest and juice or ground ginger and cinnamon flavoured apple, made with our unsurpassed Bramley cookers. The Prince Albert comes a close second. The British folk singer Billy Bragg sings a song in praise of rhubarb crumble!

[@marks35]

I really do love this 3 course dinner ....the colours are vibrant and beautiful ....the flavours meld together perfectly ...and the smell ......well I can just about smell it all from down here at the bottom of the globe ! This will definitely be ' a must ' for me to make ! Thx so much Kevin , I always enjoy your dinners immensely 😊

[@KissyKat]

I was just thinking about you Kevin wishing that I had a new video, and wouldn't you know! I get my notification!! Hoping you and Mr. Fox have a beautiful weekend and thank you so much❤💐
