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.

Oh Kevin! This is my Saturday morning treat with coffee. Thank you my far away friend!

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 ✨

Love your channel! For me you are the Mr. Rogers of my adulthood! Thank you for sharing from the heart, pure goodness!

Your videos bring me so much peace. Merry Christmas Kevin and everyone who celebrates! ☺🎄

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. 🎉

In the event you need additional guest let me know what time to arrive. As always pure perfection, home, food & ambience

Thank you for an elegant and cost efficient holiday meal idea!

I do not cook very much, but I just LOVE your videos, your voice, your presence is so calming

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.

Elegant table setting as always. I'm going to try that meatloaf. Thank you.

You feed my soul. What a wonderful weekly gift you give us all - very thankful for KLJ, he’s a gem.

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.

Love all yours recipes. Your choice of flowers in the kitchen are always beautiful. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!!

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 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! ❤️😂

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 🎄

Beautiful ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄

🎀🎄🎀 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

Meatloaf Wellington!? That's pure genius!

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!

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: 👼

Kevin both the recipes and watching you make them are a double treat. I am definitely going to make these recipes soon. Love your tablescape also. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

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.

Wonderful meal...as usual Kevin! I expected nothing less of you! You are simply amazing.

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!

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 ❤

Absolutely beautiful! Always lovely. How fortunate your friends and guests are to dine at your table.

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.

Yay, it works! So happy your video came out while I'm enjoying my morning tea! Happy Christmas!

Amazing and delicious as always.

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! 😊❤🎉

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

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!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes. They are greatly appreciated.

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!

Lovely well thought out menu. I particularly liked your table setting - very effective.

I love how you teach make ahead meals plus how to store reheat and serve. Really loving your channel. Thank you!

I so enjoy your videos and the great recipes. May you have a very Merry Christmas!

Lovely dinner, Kevin. Merry Christmas!

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 :)

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!.

Every Italian (including me) just smiled when Kevin whipped out the Prosciutto de Parma to wrap the meatloaf 😊!!! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 🎅🏼

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.

The Flowers also cute calming energy never goes out of style Kevin

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 💕

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

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. 🎄🎀

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!

This menu looks so delicious and easily doable. I like that you mixed the high fat and low fat ground beef for the meatloaf. Just enough fat to give the desired flavor without overdoing it. The soup sounds wonderful, and the caramel chocolate mousse should be to die for! Since our Christmas dinner will be just for two, I will simply adjust the amounts accordingly. I have a feeling this will be a favorite for many occasions to come! Thanks Kevin🎄

Thx Kevin for the ambience, the yummy food and always for your expertise!

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 ❤

Merry Christmas, Kevin! What a lovely table and delicious meal!

Hi Kevin, Happy Holidays. I usually make the soup with pumpkin instead of orange but I'll swap out the pumpkin and try it with orange I'm sure it'll be scrumptious. Can't wait to try this soup, thx Kevin 😋

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!!!❤

Thanks for teaching me how to make my Christmas dinner more elegant. Merry Christmas!

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 🤭🥰

What a wonderful episode, Kevin. Your house and table scape are very festive and the fire so welcoming. Your guests are very lucky people. Wonderful menu. Meatloaf is one of my favorite foods and making it into a Wellington is so creative. Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Fox.🎄

Perfect timing. I was wanting to do a beef wellington for Christmas but with 16 people the cost was off budget. This is just what I needed. I love, love, love your videos and look forward to each one. Thank you and a Happy Christmas to you.

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

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!
