A few, years ago, I lost my dear friend and he used to cook and decorate just like you. You bring so many dear memories to my heart. I wish I was your next-door neighbor to keep learning so much from you. It’s wonderful to watch you. Everything looks really delicious.
YOU DID IT! MY MOTHER'S MEATLOAF WELLINGTON, NOW I HAVE THE RECIPE THAT I WAS TOO DUMB TO WRITE DOWN WHEN SHE MADE IT. Thank you so very much, This is a wonderful Christmas gift to me and my family!!!!! Merry Christmas, dear Kevin and Mr. Fox. xxoo
Your table setting took my breath away. It is just stunning.
I love everything about you . Your loved ones are so fortunate to have you around. Making an important holiday meal ahead of time is absolutely the best advice of all!

One of my nicknames, too!

My oldest brother called me
Annafred. Have NO idea where it came from! He passed a couple of years ago. Really miss hearing it! My best friend calls me Anniefannie.
You have a cookbook? Congrats!
Oh Kevin! This is my Saturday morning treat with coffee. Thank you my far away friend!
💛 Yellow Kevin. 💛
Love the way you decorate, the dishes, silverware, flowers - I think it makes guests feel special and gives an air of sophistication to the event. 🎉
Your videos bring me so much peace. Merry Christmas Kevin and everyone who celebrates! ☺🎄
Love your channel!
For me you are the Mr. Rogers of my adulthood!
Thank you for sharing from the heart, pure goodness!
You feed my soul. What a wonderful weekly gift you give us all - very thankful for KLJ, he’s a gem.
Seldom am I at a loss for words, but I’m speechless after watching your video Kevin. I transform into a kid again who would love to run from room to room (but would not be allowed) looking at your decorations and finally sitting perched on your elegant carved chairs. Your cooking directions are explained so well; I will be trying these exquisite dishes. Your lesson to all is subtle but apparent..self-worth is nurtured when we take our time to make our daily activities look special, feel special. This practice plants a seed for our children and spills over to our family as well as others. Sincere thanks…take care to all ✨
I agree ! Tempis fugit, so its good to make moments of our lives special . 🎉
@@janettemasiello5560 I love your reference to Virgil ♥️ you are a special soul.
@@jeaninemartin
As are you !
Thanks 😊
@@janettemasiello5560 take care 😊
@@jeaninemartin Hey Jeanine
What's up
Can I ask you a question..?
Thank you for an elegant and cost efficient holiday meal idea!
In the event you need additional guest let me know what time to arrive. As always pure perfection, home, food & ambience
I do not cook very much, but I just LOVE your videos, your voice, your presence is so calming
This looks delicious, and I like that it's all made ahead of time. You're folding technique is exactly as Julia taught me so many years ago! Merry Christmas.
I came across this video today and its mid August now. My brother passed Dec 8th last year and my mum's birthday was Dec 14th. She died 5 days later. I never told her he died. So one week before Christmas, my family was wiped out. I went to the beach Christmas Day (hot in December in Oz). Needless to say l am dreading December this year but watching this vlog inspired me and renewed my joy. Or at least sparked it which is an astonishing feat. Thank you Kevin. You are such a calming and positive presence. And boy, can you cook! 😊❤🎉
Elegant table setting as always. I'm going to try that meatloaf. Thank you.
I Love the Spatula comment! “Use the spatula with the snowflakes”
Laughed out loud and it made my day! So funny when you throw the humour in to see if we are paying attention… and will be making the soup for sure… thank you! ❤️😂
Meatloaf Wellington!? That's pure genius!
Love all yours recipes. Your choice of flowers in the kitchen are always beautiful. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!!
The.compliments of the season Kevin! Your table setting looks lovely; it would not have occurred to me to mix the dark blue and caramel colours but it is a really effective combination. When decorating a pie with pastry offcuts, my mother taught me a very simple trick. Using a sharp paring knife, cut out leaf shapes and just score in the pattern of the leaf veins. Then, cut strips of the pastry about half to three-quarters off an inch wide and about 4 inches long. Wind up the strip, not too tightly, and between finger and thumb pull out petal shapes from each layer. When using a pie funnel, which props up the pastry lid as well as providing a steam vent, the pretty rose pastry shape sits loosely on top with the leaves surrounding it. Having said that this is a simple hack my description makes it sound really. complicated but I do assure you that it isn't! I hope all Kevinafficiados have a happy Christmas and good New Year!.
This looks wonderful! Meatloaf is a favorite in my house. And this brings it to another level. The soup looks lovely. And we all need a little chocolate on Christmas!
The Flowers also cute calming energy never goes out of style Kevin
🎀🎄🎀 Happy Holidays Kevin ! Your recipes are right up my alley. Will check out your cookbook. I have that old fashioned orange juicer in my collection of jade ware, however now have a bit of arthritis in my thumb joints. Just purchased an electric juicer and love it so much, I made a huge pitcher of lemonade :-) That soup is now on my list to try. And I love desserts that incorporate beaten egg whites.
We raise grass fed beef. My guys will welcome a good meatloaf! Thank you for " Zen & the Art of using puff pastry sheets." You always make such a lovely table scape ~ Diane
always gracious and always SINCERE i wish you and all your loved ones a joyful Christmas holiday celebration of peace and well being throughout 2023 Blessings for everyone . . . everywhere
Wow....There are so many aspects of this episode I could comment on. I'm one of those cooks who believes red meat.... whether steak cuts or ground beef, should be medium cooked. It comes from the same animal regardless. I must try to source puff pastry, because the rest I can do with ease. Finally, when you send me your tea set, you can throw in the entire dinnerware set shown in this video. All you'll need is a bigger box. You'll find a replacement set somewhere, and change is always good.
Ha ha, good one Dean!
Am absolutely goung to make that meat loaf Wellington!!
Kevin, anyone that is lucky enough to eat a fabulous meal at your gouse should leave feeling like a million bucks. Your table setting and your hand made centerpiece looks fantastic. Made me feel special just watching video. Thank you so much!!!❤
What a lovely dinner table and all the delicious food you are preparing 🎄❤ a pleasure to be invited to your gorgeous house. Thank you for sharing this with us, Kevin. I wish you and your husband, your four-legged family members and everyone who's close to your heart what we call a Gesegnete Weihnacht (a blessed Christmas). May the New Year bring joy and lots of smiles to you all 🙋🏻♀ Greetings from the Bavarian Alpine Region 🎄
I wish I could move the next door to you and be invited to your house to eat everyday
That MEATLOAF WELLINGTON... Who knew there was such a thing...My my my ...I will have that dancing in my head instead of sugar plums this Holiday. 🙋🌹GA USA 💕
Absolutely beautiful! Always lovely. How fortunate your friends and guests are to dine at your table.
Dear Kevin, if you allow me to use your first name. I always enjoy your lessons. You are a great master of cooking, you don't hide any details and didactics is out of this world. And I love to have all dishes ready in advance. Thank you for sharing ❤
Very elegant as always. The table runner is beautiful.
Beautiful ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
I love everything about your videos. Such a classy guy.
The soup looks delicious! Your kitchen must have smelled like heaven! :) I had carrot ginger soup for the first time 22 years ago at a restaurant in Georgetown, Washington, DC and I've never forgotten it. That was the most perfect soup I've ever tasted! I will be trying this recipe! Thank you!
Mr. Potato head is watching your every move 😂 I love your make ahead recipes and party ideas. The house looks beautiful too ! I think we are similar in age, as a child Mr Potato head was some body parts (probably made of metal, lol) and I would have to ask my mom for a potato so I could make the faces. Thank you for another great video and Merry Christmas to you and the family. Hugs from PA
You share such lovely things with us. Angel badge for you: 👼
I love how you teach make ahead meals plus how to store reheat and serve. Really loving your channel. Thank you!

This is going to be my Christmas Dinner thanks to you. We should plan a reunion with you Kevin someday. I would make the trip from California ❤
I too am from Cali
Let's go !!
Happy Holidays to all!
Hello, from across the country, near your home town, we're in Colville. I'm glad this is up now. I'mI trying this meat idea, don't follow Ms. Teigen but it looks very elegant. Thx again Kevin, Merry Christmas and a happy New Years.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes. They are greatly appreciated.
Great to have this one up again! Thanks, Kevin! Merry Christmas! 🌹
Wonderful meal...as usual Kevin! I expected nothing less of you! You are simply amazing.
Lovely well thought out menu. I particularly liked your table setting - very effective.
Glorious video as always, Kevin. Everything we need to make a Christmas Dinner Party a wonderful success. I shall definitely try making both that amazing looking soup and the luxurious pudding. I'm not usually keen on meatloaf but yours looks extra special for Christmas guests. Definitely well worth making. Your puff pastry looks simply amazing!
Your subtle and seriously elegant dinner table is to die for. Yes, I've watched your garland making videos and have walked around my local area deciding on what greenery to use. No pine cones in my case but I do have a small holly tree loaded up with berries! I've already bought the pomegranates, apples and Clementines so will be decorating and putting up my tree this coming week.
Thank you again for all your many wonderful recipes and helpful "how to" videos. I'm so pleased I found you earlier this year. I still have loads to check out but I've found some really yummy things to make with your expert assistance. You are totally inspirational and have become essential viewing for me. Warmest of Very Best Wishes and Love for Christmas to You, Mr Fox, your pets and very dear friends from Steve & Noggin my cat, here in Manchester, U.K. xxx
Thank you, Steve and Noggin!
@@kevinleejacobs1364 You're most welcome Kevin
I love that you use a Vitamix, Kevin! I am a fan of both YOU and the Vitamix. You are demonstrating this recipe precisely when I have an overabundance of organic carrots (bought 5 pounds "by mistake"). Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours, Kevin!
You didn’t even start cooking and I subscribed. Thank you already!
Hi Kevin, just to report back that I made this Carrot, Ginger and Garlic Soup two days ago. There's loads of it too! It certainly needs to rest in the fridge for 24 hours to let the fantastic tastes develop and blend and then, it tastes just fantastic. A bit like Squash Soup. Full of flavour and plenty of body. Perfect for a cold winter lunch. Thank you so much as always another Superb recipe. Love Steve & Noggin xxx
I did smile when Kevin whipped the prosciutto! 😁 Great job Kevin!! Such elegance, such a fantastic job, now going to try these recipes! Bravo!! & Merry Christmas everyone!! Many blessings!
Kochany, to prawdziwa szkola radosci życia. ❤
Love your "regular" tools and gentle explanation!!
So excited for Christmas 2023! I hope you have a 1 hour Christmas Special with either Classic Christmas or Christmas Jazz music!
Dear Kevin, Thank you for being here. I just discovered your U-tube channel & love everything you do. I will be watching every episode that you make and catching up with the past ones. Merry Christmas from Tennessee.
Merry Christmas Mr.Jacobs, thank you for beautiful recipes again. You always tell the recipes in a way I don't doubt I can do it!!!! That's an amazing gift you have, Blessed Holidays
Thanks for the Meatloaf Wellington idea.
You always make my day with your calm demeanor, easy smile, and great food and dining tips. Thanks!
Absolute perfection. And Avery (it's Avery, isn't it?) cuddling up in front of the fire at the very end of the video? Be still my heart! Oh i love. LOVE!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Kevin, and as always, thanks so much for all you do. Cheers!
Avery LOVES the warmth of the fireplace!
Yay, it works! So happy your video came out while I'm enjoying my morning tea! Happy Christmas!
Very soothing video music is delightful, voice calm and even-toned, a lot of utubers could learn a lesson or 2 from you💖💖
he is so creative...i would be lost half way ..thank you!
I give my thumb up before even watching the video because it's amazing as always ! Merry Christmas to you and your spouse! Greetings from Israel
Have a joyful holiday…you make me smile!
Waiting for your cookbook to arrive! A present to myself…..
I love this menu. I am a person who likes meatloaf. It's comfort food to me. I never thought to wrap it up in puff pastry. Genius! The carrot soup looks delicious and healthy. The roasted cruciferous vegetables are a great addition to the Wellington. Of course the chocolate caramel mousse is the perfect ending to this satisfying holiday dinner. Love how you set the table with the evergreen decorations. I think that I can make this dinner. 🎄🎀
You,sir, are a JOY!!!
Blue and white china is my favorite.
Amazing and delicious as always.
I so enjoy your videos and the great recipes. May you have a very Merry Christmas!
I recently discovered your channel and have watched many of your cooking videos. I love that they are elegant but make-ahead so one can be less stressed and enjoy their guests! Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Thank you Kevin for this make-ahead set of recipes. It’s a no-stress affair for Christmas, and who does not want that? Your table was elegant and I adore that everything came from your garden! You could even put some Christmas tree bulbs in with the pine and holly, or candles that are look real, but aren’t. I wish I could have helped you with everything! It would be such fun. Merry Christmas.
I am definitely making the meatloaf wellington!
That REALLY looks good. Good job on table setting
This is soooooo Biltmore! You’re our Merry Christmas wishes!
Thank you so much for inviting us into your home..MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!🙏😇😍💞🌲
So sweet, I’m having a dinner party next Saturday, definitely food for thought. ♥️
A friend of mine makes a version of Meatloaf Wellington but uses ground sirloin and refers to it as French Country Pâté! She said it sounds more elegant! 😊
Lovely dinner, Kevin. Merry Christmas!
Does Mr. Fox know how lucky he is to have you? I am sure he does ! and I hope he loves you as much as we do !!!!
Thanks so much for this video Kevin, your relaxed approach to the holidays is inspiring and the recipes look delicious. Meatloaf Wellington - love the concept! Wishing you and yours a joyous holiday season :)
Thank you so very much for this beautiful video. I was so happy when I got the notification of your video. I have been thinking about some make-ahead recipes as I have fractured my knee in two places and I won't be able to do as much this Christmas. I love your decorations and especially the great recipes you share with us. Merry Christmas!!
What a wonderful menu. I am going to try the meat loaf Wellington!
The table is beautiful and am certain the meal was delicious.
Thank you for your time and videos.
From the recipes to the table setting, everything is a feast for the senses! You've combined two of my favorite ingredients for dessert-chocolate & caramel and I'll be sure to stir those with a spatula with snowflakes on it 🤭🥰
Lovely, elegant, inspiring. Love and joy come to you! Merry Christmas!
I’ve never thought of soup in teacups. Brilliant!
What a great idea! I will be preparing these dishes over the holidays! Beautiful presentation! Thank you.🇨🇦❤️👏💐🇨🇦
Thx Kevin for the ambience, the yummy food and always for your expertise!
Merry Christmas, absolutely wonderful Kevin. God bless you.
Can't wait to see this year's Christmas dinner.
UPDATE = Kevin - I have just made this meatloaf (practice run !) - I watched your video over and over again - I bought all the right ingredients and followed your instructions to a T !!! It looks amazing and I am about to share it with my husband (who is a great cook). I have never cooked anything ins my life, but this looks very impressive, and I am so thankful for your inspiration xxxxx
Yay, M15Guys -- I hope the Meatloaf Wellington was delicious for you!
Lovely table setting. The Meatloaf Wellington seems so fitting to be served in your magnificent Victorian home. The Caramel Mouse" , my, great choice. I noticed your Silverware. Kinda neat as it is similar to a set I have just recently begun using.
It is always a pleasure watching you, that winning smile, that calming demeanour. Sending Warm Wishes for a Merry Christmas to you and yours....
Every Italian (including me) just smiled when Kevin whipped out the Prosciutto de Parma to wrap the meatloaf 😊!!! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 🎅🏼
Even some non-Italians smiled ....
@@watthaile2053 I’m sure…who doesn’t love prosciutto!!! 😀😀😀
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. This looks so delicious and also something that everyone can cook. It's my birthday next month, think I'll shout myself to a dinner party with the family. I will enjoy cooking all this. Also I have a silver candelabra that was given to us for a wedding present 43 years ago. I have hardly used it. Time to polish it up, get some candles and use it.
Lovely and delicious 😋🤩! Thank you so much for sharing, Kevin, Merry Christmas 🎄 to you, Mr. Fox, family and friends! And I know your “puppy and kitten” will find special tasty treats under the Christmas tree 🎄 !
Kevin, you really are inspiring!
