Oh Kevin. How simple and elegant those appetizers are. I loved how you presented these beautifully in your parlor. A privilege to those guests who are surrounded with deliciousness and atmosphere. Wishing you and Mr. Fox a happy and healthy holiday. Regards, Antonia Smith
Can’t wait to try the Brie pastry…and I think with your excellent guidance I will be able to manage the hummus and red pepper. 😂 I laughed out loud when I saw the tub of hummus and heard your caution to watch carefully! You are a delight. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Kevin. The Brie platt looks so yummy, I think I’m going to use my husband’s homemade fig jam for the sweet contrast. The eggnog cocktails look good too.
I agree with one of the other comments, I just want to jump through my monitor and join you for the yummy treats that you made! I loved your dog right there by the table when there is food around. My cat does the same thing every time I get up hoping that I'm going to head for the kitchen. Ya gotta love our four legged kids! Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Fox and your four legged kids! 🎄🎁
Everything you do is so lovely and elegant. You know you are doing something right when all of your viewers are longing to attend one of your gatherings!
My son and I have been sick with covid since Christmas and your videos have been the light at the end of the tunnel for me!! My son is 12 and likes watching you cook, too. He said today, “Kevin seems like a very compassionate person.” 😊
Thank you again for the delicious recipes Kevin ! I am hosting Christmas eve & New Years Day ! I love easy & delicious ! Merry Christmas Everyone ! I so appreciate all that you do for us Kevin! Thank you!!!
The snow, the fire, the decor, the food….what a perfect holiday event. And your fur baby was very interested in the bacon swizzle sticks as you brought them to the table!
Then ending scene by the fire was heaven. The snow outside the window, a crackling fire and beautifully set table filled with delectable treats. This put me in a festive mood.
Fabulous ideas, Kevin - they look delicious and not overly-complicated. Definitely ones to try. Your clear instructions and pace are just right. I don't know if you have ever seen Delia Smith, an English chef who has written many hugely-successful cookery books with beautifully clear instructions and she was on TV a lot. Your presentational style reminds me a little of her. (We have plenty of TV chefs but many are very "look at me!" and it can be offputting.) Wishing you and Mr Fox a wonderful Christmas. 🎄⭐☃️🕯💕
Mango chutney is a great alternative to apricot jam. Had your delicious make ahead short ribs yesterday. I’m now going to make your chocolate cake recipe I became an admirer when you rescued Binky Happy Christmas from Charleston SC
Nostalgia invades me. II remember how I grew up surrounded by my family where classical music abounded. My Mom had a beautiful voice, My aunt play piano and wrote pieces. Her children plays piano, and another instruments. The new generation came with the music internally the play different instruments. Piano, Guitar, Violin, maracas, cuatro percussion and all sang. My daughter study Piano and her bachelor and master career is classical music. This helping me to continue living between notes and all the composers she plays. Oh your house, garden and the wonderful food you prepare just touch my soul. I am happy to see that you enjoy and have memorable live. Regards, Maxi
KLJ followers: I also pre cook the bacon before I bake bacon wrapped asparagus. I actually cook it in water for about 10 minutes, then dry it then wrap it. Crisps nice and the asparagus doesn’t over cook. Merry Christmas Fans of KLJ!!!
Thank you so much for the amazing holiday appetizers. I loved them all and the eggnog served in martini glasses was very elegant. Oh to be a guest by the fire in your music room. 🙏❤️🎄
A man after my own heart ! Sometimes when I go out to eat, I order 2 or 3 appetizers instead of an entree! I really enjoy the variety. So your sublime appetizers would send me to the moon ! Thanks for the great ideas 😘
I made all three appetizers (not the drink) and they really were easy & super delicious. Thank you so much. Please make more videos. You are a natural teacher ❤
I won't be hosting pre-Christmas parties but both the Bacon Swizzle Sticks and the Apricot and Brie Puff Pastry look like winners in my home!

I love watching your channel, I am a veteran and don't have much. But it's nice to dream about what it could be like. Great ideas and unfortunately I'll probably have another bologna sandwich tonight. I guess that's what the rest of my life has in store for me. But it's nice to dream.
KEVIN, How LOVELY! I can't wait to try making your bacon swizzles & the apricot brie gift wrapped in puff pastry! Thank you for my years of enjoying your videos & emails! Merries from Marsha 🎄🎁♥️
Another amazing post!! I certainly appreciate the extensive time and effort you take to make all of your posts so professional, easy to understand and inviting!! The only thing you're missing is a big plate in front of you to fit a few servings of each on. Notice your dog approves! The puff pastry is my favorite and I'm sure one could change that up with endless varieties of yummy ingredients. Happy Healthy Holidays from Colorado!
Wonderful recipes, I'm definitely going to try these for our appetizers this Christmas. I'm going to practice the red pepper and hummus one ahead, it looks very complicated 😜😁😁
Thank you Kevin for sharing this video, I loved it and I will make some of these appetisers for coming Thursday, to enjoy together with my colleagues at the office. Greetings from Holland 🌹and wish you a Merry Christmas.
I just love hopping on u-tube to find you have graced us with another wonderful video!!! I love everything about your videos whether they be cooking, decorating, or gardening! The best part? You! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
"I wanna jump through my monitor and load up a plate! Merry Christmas Kevin, and thanks for all you do!"
Let's show some decorum my dear. The line starts behind me!!
Who are you quoting?
December is the month of Christmas, Not holidays. Orwellian.
@debbiel2098 Great comment!! Haha! 😂
Hey Debbie 👋
What's up
Can I ask you a question...?
Oh Kevin. How simple and elegant those appetizers are. I loved how you presented these beautifully in your parlor. A privilege to those guests who are surrounded with deliciousness and atmosphere.
Wishing you and Mr. Fox a happy and healthy holiday.
Regards, Antonia Smith
Everything looks scrumptious and beautifully served, of course! The pup looks very interested in the bacon ones!
Oh. Glorious music, food and what a beautiful home. Thank you for these easy recipes!
Can’t wait to try the Brie pastry…and I think with your excellent guidance I will be able to manage the hummus and red pepper. 😂 I laughed out loud when I saw the tub of hummus and heard your caution to watch carefully! You are a delight. Thank you for all you do!
Will definitely try these. I absolutely love your humor. You often make me giggle. Take care.
Thank you Kevin. The Brie platt looks so yummy, I think I’m going to use my husband’s homemade fig jam for the sweet contrast. The eggnog cocktails look good too.
Thanks, I'll be making these for sure!

Obrigada pelas receitas.
