There are so many things I can compliment you on, one doesn’t know where to start, just know you bring a ton of people joy and lightness
I got this tip from an aunt of mine, instead of baking spray, i use the wrappers from sticks of butter. I save them in a container in the fridge and when I need to oil/grease a pan I pull out a wrapper or two and wipe the pan down. It's always worked. I also use the wrappers to spread some butter on the skins of potatoes before I bake them.
Excellent tip. Thank you for sharing 😊
That's a great idea, I'm going to do that.
That’s what I have always done. Good tip for the people who don’t.❤
My dear old mum also used to do this. She kept the wrappers in a jar in one of the kitchen cupboards. Always worked.
I remember my mother doing that 60 years ago.
A perfect ending with you sitting in the chair and all the colors surrounding you are perfect to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Looks delicious!
Kevin you make my day so much better, laying here with a broken hip after an accident ( have been watchin about 20 episodes the 2 last days❤) we need more Kevin's in the world.. Big love here from Sweden
Oh, dear! I'm so sorry for your accident! These things will happen, but having video's like Kevin's do help the time pass more pleasantly! Here's prayers hoping you heal quickly and well!
Feel better I’m sitting here after having Bennion surgery two days ago doing the same thing as you♥️
@GitteAngel. I was sick with Covid during the holidays when I discovered Mr. Jacobs' videos. I watched & was amazed by his creatvity! and comforted by his personality.🌷🌷🌷
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love from South Africa…

Sending best wishes for a full and quick recovery! I hope you're not in any pain, and that you are resting comfortably at home. Glad you found Kevin's channel.....he's wonderful!
Your calm demeanor, and organized way of explaining how to cook and present these delicious meals helps me so much when I am entertaining. You are an inspiration. The food looked so delicious and your florals and tablescape are gorgeous. Happy Valentine’s Day💕
Pinch me. I cannot believe it is time for Valentine's Day again. I look forward to seeing you prepare something wonderful for the special day or a special occasion every year. February 14th is the first Mardi Gras parade night where I live. It's going to be a busy, wonderful celebration day for just about everyone. Thanks, Kevin.
Enjoyed my day with you. Delicious food, lovely table, and a warm and inviting fire. Thank you, Kevin
Your table setting and floral centerpiece are beautiful 😍
🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵
Excellent video for Valentine's Day!!!!! Another wonderful Sunday afternoon with you!
The chicken Marbella looks like a dream! I’m keeping to Mediterranean food this winter so it’ll fit right into my food plan. Thank you!
I just know your Guest loved the delicious, and romantic dinner. The floral arrangement was just beautiful, with different shades of pink and the few uplifting purple flowers. I enjoyed watching you set the table, very elegant and warm. I love the blue shirt you were wearing preparing the meal and the lovely jacket you entertained in ❤ Thank you for sharing this video with us and please keep spreading sunshine ☀
Very elegant tablescape and I am sure the dinner was super delicious 😋
Yes, definitely the Chicken Marbella is always a big hit!!
I literally wait for his major dinner episode as he can showcase his beautiful dining room in full glory along with all his pretty dishes and table setting.
Idk.... Something about the whole process of decorated dinner tables with napkins and silverware and of course his Rumford fireplace crackling of with warm fire reminds me of dinner scenes from Jane Austen novels..... Thank you❤ Kevin for taking us away from our morbid lives for few minutes and inspire us to live happy and fulfilled.... Even if it's us just watching and listening you. You always make me feel like a guest in your dinner parties..........
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing as always, Kevin, happy sunday!
👍 It's good to be back!
Thanks for another lovely video!
🤎
Thank you! I absolutely love all your videos. P.s. Never change the music, it will never grow old, it’s so soothing. Ok, I absolutely MUST try the cake! I’ve tried the Chicken Marbella recipe before, it is definitely delicious, although I prefer the Chicken Pesto recipe you showed us some time last year - sooo good! Thank you again!
Everything looks incredible Kevin. I'd like to try the chicken recipe. It looks better than anything you could get in a restaurant. I look forward to your next video.
I just have to say that you are in pure heaven with the snow on the trees and the gentle snow covered path that goes through to the gate at the end... Oh, there is nothing more exquisite than this! Really, there isn't!!!!! ...with the gently falling snowflakes, I am convinced that you are in Nirvana! I also must say that you look handsome and elegant and debonair and polished in your wonderful, deep burgundy jacket for Valentine's Day!!! The meal looked exquisite and I just know you had the most wonderful time!!!
Exquisite taste. Your flower arranging skills are lovely.
08:15 Perfect spanish Kevin! "orégano". Thanks for recall that there are other people around the globe that enjoy your videos and speak other languages. Bravo for this Pollo Marbella recipe, my mom used to prepare it back in the 80´s when I was little. I loved that you prepared this dish including the pitted prunes, some people make a twist to the recipe and do not include the fruit but the result is also tasty. You can never be wrong with a Pollo Marbella to share with beloved people. ¡Viva el Amor! Feliz San Valentín for everyone in this great community.
❤️beautiful dinner……can’t wait to try the chicken dish! Thank you 🇨🇦
Lieber Kevin, welch' besondere Gäste es wohl gewesen sein müssen, um so ein brilliantes Menü zu genießen .Valentinstag naht und ich werde es versuchen, komplett nachzukochen und dabei werde ich an sie denken, damit auch alles gelingt und hoffentlich kann ich den Kuchen wiederstehen, der über Nacht auf seinen Einsatz warten muss. 😅Danke liebe Grüße from Germany
Hallo Anja,
Ich hoffe das Kevin Deine Deutsche Nachricht lesen konnte.
Ich lebe seit langem in Amerika
Und fand es toll Deinen Kommentar zu lesen.
Liebe Grüße an Dich aus Florida
🌴 Birgit
Food looks delicious but the shot of your garden covered in snow was magical. A winter wonderland.
Thank you so, so much for this charming video. The flower arrangement is one of the prettiest I've ever seen!
How I adore Valentine's day and all the romantic trimmings❤ thank you, Kevin ❤❤
My mother's exact fancy dinner plates that I grew up with and enjoyed eating from year after year on special occasions, she also had a lovely set of silverware ... and then the chair you were sitting on with the striped pink/orange material ... yes, my mother's elegantly oranate wood framed living room chesterfield and matching chair were upholstered in that same material. My mother would have loved you Kevin, and you, her. There's no doubt in my mind. As personal taste goes, you are like two peas in a pod. My very beautiful mother, Myrtle 1920-2020. I miss her so. They called her the hostess with the mostest, and indeed, she was.
Greetings Kevin Lee!🥰 I actually thought I was going to have an anxiety attack waiting for out Sunday video!! Ha ha,,,
Your russet pot is beautiful!!! I don’t remember them being so large and Clean without any blemishes!,,, and I’m so grateful bc I luv luv luvvv cauliflower in any form,,, I usually like CB my soups with some mouth feel,,, im not much into a broth type soup yet I can make it work by not completely blending,,,, wonderful menu dear soul,,, THANK YOU🥰
Thanks for interesting recipes, “communication” 😊, calm and comfortable atmosphere.
Hi Kevin, just wanted to let you know how much I and so many others enjoy what you bring to us. So many things I so enjoy watching. Yes, I have even tried some of the dishes you make and going to try more. Love being in the garden with you, going shopping, and of course listening to you play the piano. Thank you, you are deeply appreciated and enjoyed. Give the furry kids a treat, I am sure they are well taken care of, I so enjoy them.
Wonderful food and beautiful flowers. You are our Valentine 365 days a year. I received my Tierra Farms Valentine Box this week. Everything in the box looks delicious. I have tried the cocoa dusted almonds. Decadent is the word that comes to mind. Looking forward to your next video.
So glad you like the cocoa-dusted almonds. They are addicting!
I’m going to make this beautiful soup with my homegrown cauliflower 💚
Hi kevin and all there.greets from Dublin...this Amazing Video is just beyond perfect ❤...I'm chuffed to see you drink Irish breakfast Tea..+our incredible kerry gold butter for your delicious cake...take care yourself. Keep well😊
It’s a very cold Saturday here in the UK and I’ve spent all day after I done all my jobs around the house looking at all your videos how much I’ve enjoyed them. It’s 8 o’clock now and I’ve only just finished. I’m going to make the soup and the chicken dish and the chocolate cake tomorrow I hope Love your recipes and I enjoy watching your videos. You are so relaxing to watch.
We love the color of flowers you pick out. My favorite, also
Thank you for the delicious recipes. The flowers in the flower store made me smile. Thank you Kevin. I love and enjoy your wonderful videos. Take care😘
Mister Jacobs, You are, Indeed, A very talented man.❤❤
Excellent!
Thanks for your gentle manner and your wonderful smile. Oh! The food looks wonderful too.
Have a great week
another perfect video from you Kevin to relax with in the evening. I envy your guests~
I neither cook nor bake.. I visit this channel regularly simply to de-stress. Thank you Kevin ❤
I don’t clean. I have a cleaning lady. But I sure love to watch Kevin clean. 😊
@@ofield6561 😂
Me too. I hate cleaning, love to cook though
Hello Kevin
I can't help but compliment you on the wonderful Valentine's Day diner.
The decorations were fantastic and you were dressed for the occasion too.
Congratulations
Beata and Henryk
Love watching every moment
I love your cats and dog!! ❤ Your videos are so relaxing and inspiring. Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽 ☺️
Thank you Kevin, I’m having a relaxing Sunday here in San Diego wishing I was was there too!! Everything looks so inviting and warm. 💟🌸
Thanks so much for making my day.
The table setting is so beautiful! You really put in a lot of effort for your guests. The recipes are perfect for the colder weather. I really have to use my aunts tablecloths and napkins that she gave to me many years ago. Thank you for the motivation to enjoy life more!
Omgosh!! I'm so excited to see Chicken Marbella on your menu!! That is one thing I've made several times. I heard about it several years ago.
I am going to buy a wooden spatula. Also, I am inspired to have flower arrangements after watching you arrange yours and making it look much easier than what I thought it would be. Kevin, you make dining elegant with simplicity and style. For that I thank you. Happy (early) Valentines Day from New Zealand!
As always Kevin this was a divine episode. I think this was the second time you have made these dishes and tomorrow I am going to begin marinating my chicken. Can’t resist it a second time around! Thank you!
Thank you, Kevin. Everything turned out beautifully--table looks beautiful.
So elegant! Kudos, Kevin. You just keep getting better and better at this.
I purchased my Silver Palette cookbook in the eighties. That was one of my family's favorite dishes. You brought back memories. Thank you
You're a living doll.
I agree!
What a lovely dinner party! The food looks delicious. I love cauliflower soup, the chicken looks scrumptious, and who doesn't love a delicious cake! Your table looks gorgeous as usual and the flowers were beautiful. I wish people nowadays would revive the art of a lovely dinner party. Not many people seem to realize what a delight a it is...especially following your non-stressful entertaining plan. Thank you, as always!
It is amazing that you can actuallyl set up and film in the midst of entertaining! Thanks for another wonderful video.
Kevin, I am making this dinner and serving it tonight. I tasted the soup and it is delicious! I hope the chicken will be good. Thank you for sharing this meal plan and beautiful video with us. I did not have to try to figure out what to make. I just copied what you made. You made this entertaining night so much easier for me. Deciding the menu is always daunting to me.
Oh, delicious Valentine's Day dinner❤!
I opened your Valentine box yesterday and your coffee smells amazing can’t wait to open it
Oh how nice it was to be part of this party! Now I must bake something!
Hi Kevin, I am thrilled to see your preparing Chicken Marbella! I've been making this dish for about 20 years now and it always gets rave reviews. I originally made it for Christmas dinner for a friend who dislikes ham, and I have made it ever since. Originally I was intrigued with the recipe itself because the ingredients seemed so disparate. But it is genius! Thank you for bringing it to the attention of your followers. And as always, thank you for your wonderful show.
Always admire the care you take in every detail.
❤❤❤
Another wonderful video. I especially loved the falling snow. I always love the rides also (along with everything else of course). You are such a talent in every way and a total joy to spend time with. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Much love to you.!!!!!
Happy heart and love day to you, Mr Fox and Lissette.....everything looked so good. Thanks for sharing and as always we love you Kevin
Kevin--your home is lovely and you have such a calming voice. I wish I was the recipient of such a thoughtfully prepared dinner. You take care in the details. Your flower arrangement was stunning. I loved how you swirled the cream into the soul, so I looked pretty and then topped it with fresh herbs which are tasty. The chicken looked and sounded divine. Thank you for these incredibly cozy and am charming videos. ❤
My mom had the silver palette cookbook and made chicken Marbella so many times for special occasions. Definitely swooning over here remembering the delicious tender chicken. Happy memories! I love your pre valentines dinner so I can copy it in time. ❤ thank you again for another great video!
Quel magnifique dîner. C'est un succès assuré pour un mariage.
I think it’s nice you showed a small error with cooking spray instead of making it all seem perfect. Even seasoned cooks have occasional errors
I’ve had the Silver Palate cookbook since it was printed….oh my gosh, it is a treasure of recipes, great comments and drawings. Two women with so much talent.
Beautiful! And that mauve jacket is dreamy- you look so festive and chic!
You do give me a lot of smiles. I will do the Cauliflower bake in my Airfryer, half at a time. The soup looks delicious. Will not do the Chicken as I am vegetarian. BUT that cake looks out of this world. Thanks for another delightful video, you are truly a treasure.
I learn so much from you, my friend but most of all I can relax and destress watching your beautiful and always inspiring show.
0:25 KLJ, you ROCK! This entire menu is perfection.
Cauliflower is on my all-time, top 5, fave vegetable list. I ❤❤❤ it!
I have made it my 2025 goal to try a new (to me) entre each month. Your Chicken Marbella recipe is going to be my February effort.
❤❤❤
One meniun delicious
Hapy day the S. Valentín..
J. Pepin says if you soup is too thick just add water. The flavor is already there. Thanks for making the Chicken Marbella. It's a wonderful dish and not many people know about it. I've also made it with pork tenderloin. Everything loos wonderful. Hello from rainy Oregon.
Oh my gosh. I made this tonight. My husband and I loved it. This recipe is a keeper.
I can’t wait to try the chicken it looks incredible
Good day Kevin. I have waited all day to see your smiling face. ❤❤
Hello from Hungary ! Thank you Kevin ! 🥰
Kevin, this was wonderful! I love that your dinners are make ahead so the host can enjoy the dinner! I have seen a number of recipes that I planned to try. I am a new subscriber. Thank you for all your hard work.
Ah, the season of love is upon us! A wonderful menu to help us get through it successfully. The chicken dish is an interesting and intriguing combination of flavors. Much like love and romance, I'm tempted to try. The chocolate red wine Bundt cake reminds me of a bottle of chocolate red wine that I received from an ex boyfriend a long time ago now. I like how you showed us how to fix the boo-boo on the cake with frosting, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. (Or eating as midnight snack and making another cake) I would have been tempted as well. Good that you stayed strong. Lovely flower arrangement. Very romantic. Table setting looked beautiful. I especially noticed and liked the tablecloth you used. Interesting diagonal diamond weave looked very elegant. I'm sure your dinner guests enjoyed and had a memorable time. Thank you for sharing with us how to prepare everything. Take care and have a great Sunday. See you in the next episode.♥️💌💐🍰🍷🍽️🫒
I look forward with delight to your show, no matter the dishes or agenda. The easy going calmness and delightful outlook contribute to the feeling of ease and info. The setting is heaven.
The meal is fantastic. The grounds are so lovely. A lot of work and a lot of love goes into this.
Love the flowers and the recipes! You are one of a kind darling man!
your show has the same atmosphere as Bob Ross very calm ... I really enjoy your show
Just wonderful.😊
Oh my goodness, I purchased the Silver Palate Cookbook over 35 years ago in a cookbook store. The store was located in the trendy area of Toronto named Yorkville. I still have that book and it was my introduction to being a foodie. 😊❤
Kevin, you’re balm for my heart 😍
I like your recipes, your decorating style of the table, food, etc. This is a type of style, making enjoing meals so cosy, calm and yummie. 👍❣️😇
My Mum always said: first you eat with the eyes. 🌻🎶🍾🥂
Hello Kevin, your films are a mixture of education, organization, fighting power, order, discipline, politeness, optimism and kidness, can help people in distress and depression, thank you again for sharing and I wish you best wishes and best regards , take care of yourself dear man, the world would look sadder without you ❤️❤️❤️👍🙏👋
Oh my!!!!! What a perfect dinner party-💝💝💝👍🏻
Your flower arrangement is magnificant and your dinner looks delicious. Thanks so much for sharing and have a good day.
I bought the Silver Palate cookbook from the first time I saw you make this dish! What a delightfully delicious and stunning entree! I think it is time for me to cook another “Kevin menu”. My husband will be delighted!❤
I love watching your videos every week, you are amazing, everything you touch turns out so beautiful and delicious!!!!
Have been lookin forward to this day of preparation for the ending of a special “holiday” for you. I have looked forward to the warmth of your house, the dinner, the beautiful table setting and your enthusiastic, happy outlook. Therapeutic believe me!
Thank You, Kevin❤❤
What a wonderful menu. Everything looked absolutely delicious. The fact that you can make much of this ahead is very attractive. That chicken Marbella looked so good. I am sure your guests were happy campers with this meal.
Fantastic menu! Flavors from the Mediterranean are really special so I know the Chicken Marbella was out of this world. Your jacket is out of this world too, Kevin. What a color! I love your lifestyle there in the calm and peaceful Hudson Valley.
OMGOODNESS your grounds look spectacular with the ❄️ snow/ Yes I love taking a ride with you🫶🏾/Hi Avery👋🏿 and Goldie
So lovely-❤
