Your flower arrangements always look like they've been done by a professional
This hydrangea bouquet is my favorite of all, I think. So pretty 🪷
Kevin, your flower arrangements are always stunning. The beautiful china pieces you choose for your floral arrangements give them that extra je ne sais quoi! Closing out my evenings watching one of your videos is sheer delight! Thank you for the showing others that living well does not need to be complicated.💖
Everything you do Kevin is wonderful. I love that you are a down-to-Earth, appreciative person and animal lover. Your flower arrangement is beautiful. I also like how you can make a mistake and just correct it..not that you make alot of mistakes…but putting the cucumber ends in with the mint leaves is something I would do too! Then it’s just an oops, and move the ends..no big deal. I love watching your videos! ❤️
Your floral arrangements are always stunning, you have a talent with colors. You don’t need the most expensive, as long as they are fresh
Let’s face it Mr. Jacobs, everything you create, from food to flowers is stunning!! Thank you for sharing your creations with us!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
I am so glad I found your channel because you have such an elegant way of entertaining but you simplify it so that it is not discouraging to try! My main dilemma whenever I have guests is that I never seem to be able to make dishes ahead of time. Then I get nervous that they won't turn out right due to the timing. I have watched some of your videos now and have gotten lots of good ideas! I especially loved the meatloaf and the stuffed chicken. Both can be done ahead of time. I really enjoy your calming and sophisticated way of entertaining. Such good old-fashioned etiquette and it's so nice to see!
Kevin, you are a ray of sunshine! Recently discovered your Chanel and I am obsessed. Thank you for your kind, gentle and beautiful soul. God bless you and your loved ones and please continue posting your fab videos!❤btw: your flower arrangements are always fab!
That meal looks absolutely delicious and a lovely choice for summer. ❤ Thank you Kevin for making Sunday elegant and scrumptious.
Edit: we need a double like button!
Thank you for sharing
I agree, we need a double click button (and a smiley face)
A great meal with no fuss, just what I like. The flowers and the table setting are perfect as usual. Thank you Kevin x
Just discovered your channel, Kevin, and I am so impressed with your recipes and YOU! I so look forward to watching all your videos, will probably sit and watch them for hours. Thanks for being here for us!
I’m having guests today to celebrate my husband’s birthday, Kevin, and I’m serving Boeuf Stroganoff! My table is nicely set, not as elegantly as yours as it’s a luncheon, and because fresh cut flowers are practically nonexistent here in northern Belize. You are so caring about those poor people in Nova Scotia, as are we. Thank you once again for your vlogs.
Just discovered your channel…currently in Canada on holiday. You are a very lovely man and I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. Also..I’ve been a professional florist for almost 30 years and I think your floral arrangement was lovely. Well done ❤
Loved the flowers, and everything else too! Thank you Kevin this was a beautiful dinner party!!!
Ohh can't help thinking that Kevin has a Mr.Roger's Neighborhood kind of vibe about him.Kindness , love and patience except in the cooking/ entertaining/lifestyle forum...😊😉💝
For someone who is not a professional flower arranger, your arrangements are so beautiful. You have true elegance in everything you do. Love from NC.
Even though you are not a professional flower arranger, your arrangements are beautiful every time. I love cucumber soup in the summer. The filet and mushrooms sound awesome.
The wildfires are deemed suspicious. Satellite footage shows them all starting simultaneously on clear cool days, in a flight pattern from Alberta to the East. RCMP are investigating but only have 3 ppl in custody so far for arson. We got lucky and did not get affected. NY really got it the worst. How sad for the ppl affected and the wildlife.
On a brighter note thank you for this wonderful video! Gorgeous as always. Your dinner parties must be amazing and if cooking is this stress-free even better for the host. My tummy rumbled while you were cooking the mushrooms and filet mignon!
Kevin always gives me a modern day Downton Abby vibe. How he does it all is beyond me. That flower arrangement is stunning.
Thank you for your thoughtful good wishes concerning the forest fires in Nova Scotia ❤
Thankfully Nova Scotia, Quebec and Northern Ontario are all receiving rain for the nexted several days, helping to combat the fires and smoke.
Love your channel!!
Greetings from Southern Ontario 😊🍁
I know this video is older. But I have been watching ones I haven't seen. I just have to tell you that flower arrangement is exquisite. Perfectly gorgeous.
Your comment about flower arranging reminds me of a time in the mid-60s when my grandmother, a professional florist, went to Dallas for a class in ikebana. We were used to full, lush bouquets such as yours and our jaws dropped when she presented the results if her class...something like a chryseanthemum, a stick, and a rock. Turned out they were very popular with the customers but we didn't have anything like them on our tables. 😄
An invitation to join Kevin, a lovely way to spend Sunday 🇬🇧
Kevin - another winner
Votre bouquet de fleurs est vraiment magnifique !
Comme à chacune de vos vidéos tout est préparé avec élégance et bon goût.
C’est à chaque fois un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos merci Monsieur merci
Marcelle❤
Kevin, how did you become so good at every single thing you do ?
You put me to shame. Thanks for another flawless day. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
I love your menu and all your videos. I prefer to watch your videos instead of the current news.
Yummy I’m sitting at your table ! Hello Avery … I do hope those awful
Canadian fires are out now 😢
I needed some help planning a summer dinner party. Thank you for these recipes that I know will be delicious. Problem solved! Aloha from Tennessee.
Superb flower arrangement, and just as good as any professional Kevin! What a lovely setting and meal!
this my favorite place...elegance, sophistication, a huge dose of heart\love, hardworking, and dedication💙
Everything is wonderful! I love the flower arrangement. The cucumber soup is perfect for warm weather. My mom used to make meringue cups and fill with various things, including fresh fruit, whipped cream, and ice cream. I'm not sure if I have ever made myself. The beef and mushroom dish looks excellent for a dinner party, along with roasted potatoes. Guests would be very happy. Thank you for the great video. Hope that the smoke clears quickly for you all there in NY. Take care.♥️
I very much like watching when you cook. It is not so much what you cook but how you do it and so friendly take us audience into considetation❤ Your flower arrangements are fabulous!
Delicious as usual,I’m writing this down,thanks again. Kevin
Oh my goodness, Kevin, that was fabulous, I'm coming to your next dinner party!!!
I love the tip of using the vase to support the icing bag, super smart!
Loved the table setting beautiful dishes. Thanks
I like that little maneuver you made with the dessert fork and spoon to slide them into place above the plate. Now I’ll always remember how they are to be set. Also hoping our neighbors to the north get the much needed rain to aid in extinguishing those wildfires.
The flowers arrangement looks beautiful.
Another fabulous one! So funny you prefaced the arrangement of flowers [that turned out exquisitely] with the disclaimer that you are certainly not a floral arranger but you could have fooled us any day of the week! Great idea to pencil in a template for the meringue then flip the parchment prior to piping. It's kind of you to mention the people and animals negatively affected by the fires. Being from Colorado that's why I hardly ever complain about the snow or our current rainy spring. Water is liquid gold in the west and keeps us from burning up in multiple forest fires for sure! Always best to you two and the pup!
This is one summer dinner party I would love to go to. All the courses looked wonderful and delicious. This is a must try for me. I was thinking about you with the haze and the smoke and was hoping all was ok. I live in NJ and was experiencing the same although thankfully it's much better now.
You make everything so easy! Delicious and elegant! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kevin you are the number One !!!
Lovely presentation - so creative using the coffee cups for the chilled soup course!
Just elegant, Kevin! Your centerpiece is a work of art. I will try the cucumber soup.
Hi Kevin. I always so enjoy your videos...so relaxing, filled with wonderful cooking/lifestyle hints and your lovely home. Thank you for sharing your world with your subscribers. We appreciate it so much! See you next time. 😎
The flowers are beautiful! I can’t wait to make the steak dinner. 👌
The flowers are gorgeous well done everything looks beautiful.
Wildfire and smoke in California too last year.
I enjoy your shopping trips Kevin.
Appreciate you letting us ride along when you buy flowers, fruits and goodies!
Your flower arrangements always look nice. I grow some flowers in the garden and my bouquets are pretty sad looking.
Your Flower Arrangement is Gorgeous ⚘️
Love the small nuances that you always add to your presentations such as serving the petite mignons directly from cast iron skillet….Nice rustic touch for a side board. I’m learning that not everything has to be placed into serving bowls/dishes/platters. 😊
You just made my SUNDAY complete Kevin! Thank you!
❤
I love tarragon. I really want to make this when my friends come to visit this summer. You are so elegant 😍 ❤
I always have great anticipation when I get notice of Kevin's upcoming episodes, it's pavlovian!
Beautiful flowers
and meal
Flowers are just lovely. Thank you for the great entertainment ideas.
I whole hardedly believe in fine living at home ❤😊
So wonderful to have these wonderful recipes to add to my repertoire! I think I’ll make this for my adult daughters birthday coming up soon! So lovely!
I just had to see little Binky, as I have loved Avery she is so cute especially with the Christmas tree decorating, I cried with you over beloved Tiger, whom reminded me of my own precious Putthy Cat - I absolutely love your love for animals, including Binkys mum - have subscribed straight away. I have 4 fur babies of my own, the youngest baby loves to jump and sit on his special chair in the kitchen and watch me cook, he's a miniature Jack Russell, so he needs the added height. Thank you so much for being an inspiration
Beautiful flower arrangement, and such a lovely, Summer dinner!
This entire menu looks delicious, and light. Even with the beef and potatoes. The cool light soup and the tangy sweet lemon meringue cups offset beautifully. I'm adding this menu for this summer's must try! Thanks again Kevin, for everything💌
Hi Kevin,You and Mr. Fox, Please stay safe and wear a mask when going out in this smoked filled air. I live in Iowa and hope it will weaken soon and clean air will arrive again. But i am not far from Illinois and My Daughter lives n Indiana and Grandchildren and Great Grand Children. So i am concerned here greatly. Illinois is getting smoke. God Bless all in the way of this Smoke. Stay safe. P.S. Love your Channel Kevin and all your Decorations of Beautiful Flowers and Awesome Recipes.
Love to see a video from Kevin💚
okay, i admit it. i pulled it off!, tysvm kevin lee, i had to do a do and i immediately got a few of your recipes and all went well! you are so detailed oriented i was able to follow without a problem. people actually thought i could cook, lol.💋💖
Your arrangement is very beautiful and looks very professional yet easy to make.
BTW, the fires in Nova Scotia are really bad. The military has been called in to help. I feel so bad for those who live there. And I'm sorry that your eastern states are suffering badly from the smoke.
Here in Ontario, our air is fine, so far.
We had some smoke last week coming all the way from Alberta.
Very frightening!
The country to our north needs to start implementing a new forestry plan asap! It’s not working 🧐
I never would have thought of using hosta leaves in my flower arrangements and fortunately I do grow hostas. I will try this in my arrangements soon! I am asking going to try making the steak tip main course. You are such a delight to watch !!
That looks wonderful Kevin. Thank you for brightening my day. Lots of smoke sadly where I am too.
As always, enjoyed it.
Thank You.
Kwiaty delikatne, harmonizuja z kolorem potraw. Spróbuję zrobić bezy według Twojego przepisu. Dziękuję ❤❤Pozdrawiam z Berlina.
Your flower arrangements are stunning.
I love your table settings and beautiful china. Thank you
A beautiful flower arrangement and I really enjoy watching you make it. I enjoyed the video as always! You're creative and it's a pleasure to learn new ideas from you. It's 8 months since you posted this video, but I will watch it again. Love from Beth!
I have committed this to memory for sometime in the future! Thank you so much.
Hi Kevin. Wow and big time thanks for this gorgeous, yummy and different menu. You have just planned my Father's Day menu! So Mr. Mark doesn't know, I'll be making ground wagyu beef meatballs with those mushrooms. Thx also for brightening my Sunday...was great and now it's glowing too! Peace and love 🎉
I am going to try these recipes! Your flower arrangements are always lovely. Thank you Kevin for another relaxing, inspiring vlog.
Your make everyday life, fun!!!
Perfection, lovely muted colors and not too tall.just lovely ❤️
Hi Kevin
I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos. You have no idea how very much I enjoy each and every one. Bless you!
Your dinner parties are always stunningly beautiful and delicious. This one is especially award worthy!
I might just make the sirloin main course (Minus the potatoes) and vacuum freeze it in meal size portions. I would bake the potatoes to add when I'm going to enjoy this dish (potatoes do not freeze well).
Anyway, yet another lovely dinner, Kevin. Oh! And the meringue/lemon curd dessert is really pretty and decedent.
Well, I'm off to the kitchen to make a big batch of Butter Tarts (It's a Canadian thing). 😊 The pastry is in the fridge; made it last night!
Tomorrow, it's carrot cake. One as a loaf and the other half as muffins.
Hope your dinner party was fabulous as no doubt it was!
Have a great week, Kevin!
This all looks delicious. My husband and I don't eat beef but I am thinking that this would be delicious with chicken thighs! Your table looks beautiful and the floral arrangement is just lovely. I am about 2 and a half hours NW of you and we had terrible smoke as well. The atmosphere was yellow for 2 days! We didn't let our indoor cat on our screened porch as we usually do. I was thinking about all of the forest animals and farm animals too. I hope all of the people are safe and didn't lose homes.
Thank you for another wonderful episode filled with easy recipe ideas. It was super nice to hear your good wishes for Nova Scotia, thank you for that as well. Have a wonderful day!
Love the flower arrangement and you showing how you do it.
Hello Kevin, I'd love to live next door to you and have morning teas. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming.
We also had skies filled with smoke coming from wildfires in from BC. It's too early in the season, ugg. I'm with you in your sentiment hoping for a quick remedy and safety for our wildlife..
I enjoyed your video very much. The flowers looked lovely, the table perfect and your menu sounded delicious. I have a service for 12 of the same blue/white dishes you have. They are one of my favorite sets. They belonged to my late mother in-law and I'm grateful I received them.
Another beautiful menu! Thank you Kevin!
I just discovered your channel and I fell in love with everything!! I want and a I will try to watch all your videos in good time. You have a very pleasant personality and you have done a great job renovating this beautiful house. Greetings from Greece.
I adore tarragon...my favorite and so under utilized! Such an elegant dinner and easy to prepare meal. Your table setting is lovely. I have blue and white plates and gold chargers...never thought to put them together. Beautiful...
Love these easy meals for entertaining! Thank you!
