Cocktails in the Parlor | Make-Ahead Appetizers 

I liked that Kevin put an extra dollop of gin in to the cocktail shaker 😂

I want all of Kevin’s SUPER FANS to go and tap on his videos and spend about 15 minutes giving all his videos a thumbs up. What a nice gesture is that?

So inviting…Great Job Kevin

Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas, Kevin. Sending love and tons of blessings to you.

You have 30,000 subscribers because you’re awesome! Love you Kevin, lots of love from Boston!

Such fun to enjoy virtual cocktails & delicious nibbles with you in the parlour, thank you friend for sharing 🍸 jx

I’m so happy your channel is growing Kevin, you deserve it! You are such a delight to watch! These recipes look fabulous! 💕

So very elegant, yet inviting and comfortable. I remember having cocktail parties like this in the mid to late '70's when I lived in Northern Virginia! And have I said that your home is gorgeous? It absolutely is!

We would make such neighbors! I just don’t know what I would do without this channel! Happiest Autumn Kevin & Mr. Fox and loved pets!

The good life! I love it. Surrounded with civility, beauty, pleasure! The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing. Ah, the memories. Thank you Kevin.

I am so happy that the algorithm has started showing your films in Denmark. I've been binge-watching your videos. Thanks for great content

I'll eventually try the puff pastry, and will attempt the bean dip soon. You explain recipes in very doable terms. But your unique mastery of relaxed poshness will remain elusive for most of us.

🦚 Kevin, I am so appreciative to Utube for suggesting your channel to me. I sure ENJOY everything that you share ! Blessings again from California. 🍁 🦉

You are fabulous! You could also make cucumber shot glasses for the gin. And no chance of a broken glass! You're a class act, Kevin!!🥰🥰🥰

Well done, my friend. The only thing better would be someone playing some classical piece on the piano. All the food looked fantastic! Please remind Mr. Fox what a lucky man he is to have you!

Love you Kev! I want you as a friend! You are such a sweetheart. I’m happy to see your fan base is growing. 🌷

Kevin, we are the ones thanking you for sharing with us your amazing spirit. I simply adore you. Nicole from Sillery, in Quebec City. Your tourtinière is out of this world😘😊

The cucumber cups are a great idea! Thank you for walking us through this simple yet elegant recipies.

So enjoy your videos...I love when you cook, and then show how you present the food in the different rooms of your charming home. It adds so much to see the food beautifully presented!

Your home is warm and welcoming. You put so much thought and care with everything you do. 💛💛

Oh, I'd love to come for a visit ! That IS a dry Martini ! I didn't see you even whiff the Vermouth past the shaker Lol Congratulations on 30,000+ 🎊

Congratulations on all of your subscribers! I love when you do videos about hosting. Thanks Kevin. Have a wonderful weekend!

Kevin, you must start using "Fresh Garlic"..... The taste is so much better...... and who knows what they put into that "Processed Garlic".......

Kevin you definitely know how to create the right atmosphere at your get together with friends . Comfort , nice food a friendly host and 'cheeky drinks ' ....the drinks part made me laugh 😅 Hope you enjoy !

I miss this flair of the 50 abd 60's that my folks carried into my childhood. Not that I am that age yet but you keep alive what my parents did. Family and friends hosting on a reasonable budget without sacrificing class and dignity. That's what I remember from my relatives and parents. I wish more of this becomes tradition again.

Oooohhh, that puff pastry looks fabulous.

Thank you so much Kevin for yet another great video and recipe ideas. Congratulations on the 33 thousand subscribers, you certainly deserve it. I am so glad that I found your channel by chance and I'm slowly catching up with the videos 😀 I look for you every day x

The whole grain mustard is my favorite. It's so light and doesn't over power foods. I love that you tipped the bottle just one more time. After all, it is Friday! Cheers!

Ty for the video and excellent ideas! The appetizers look completely doable for me!! And the flowers....eye candy fir sure Kevin!

So very happy to see you back...another elegant video of gracious entertaining! Thank you!

You make cooking fancy look easy & enjoyable, I think that is your appeal.

You'll get many more than 30K in subs, Kevin. 😁

I am not a home entertainer, but these videos make me want to make up a bunch of canapes and try my luck at it.

I have been enjoying you so much lately. Especially your bread making videos.

I'm watching this after a good, filling dinner and I'm drooling over the appetizers.

Congratulations on growing your channel. It makes me happy that I found your channel. You make and present everything with such enthusiasm and a gentle voice. Watching, is like having a friend in the room❤️

OH Kevin, you are my soulmate!!! I love the old fashioned cocktail party especially with some soft jazz in the background. LOL, I'm not sure the puff pastry appetizer would make it to the party, TOO delicious. Thank you so much for being a sweet, calm, and fun person. 💖💖

This video showed up in my feed. I clicked. Best decision ever. This channel is amazing. I’m fixing to binge all his videos.

Ohhhh, my mouth is watering! The apple cake is beautiful and I can imagine, fragrant! There is nothing like a hot cuppa on a chilly fall afternoon. What a hug to the heart💗and warmth to our souls. You have shown us so many beautiful vignettes. Flowers, China, and incredible food. Most of all, the company of a charming and proud home owner. I so envy your four legged companions. Take care. ☕️🫖🍅🍎🌹

I like how kevin adds fresh flowers as apart the ambiance in his videos nice touch!

The appetizers looked delicious. I would enjoy seeing you show how to make cocktails.

I am happy. A new video from Kevin. Best regards and thank you very much❤️🇨🇭

Love love love your videos, You seem to enjoy everything you are showing us, Thank you, New to your channel, Your recipes look fantastic I need to start making them Especially your breads

Really enjoyed this video. Reminds me of when my parents would have company over. Going back to the 60’s. My dad used to design apartments, he would love your home.

I adore the guy like a brother! Maille Mustard was Princess Diana’s favorite and mine, it is luscious.

Kevin you are the host supreme! What a delightful menu and such a cozy parlor! Très élègante!

What a lovely setup, I loved all the appetizers and the dry martini looked very good! I will be trying all of this! Thank you.

Perfect timing (Friday) ~ lovely way to kick off a fall weekend. ❤

I so enjoy your demeanor, grace and simplicity. On a side note, I smile back at you as your smile is infectious. I'm so glad I found you on you tube. Regards Kevin

I am going to do the puff pastry next week! Great job!

You Tube suggested your videos to me about two weeks ago and so far I've tried 7 of your recipes. I even made the apple pie (first time in my life I've tried a pie because the crust always seem difficult) I think I watched so many of your videos since then that I received a survey and a rating for your flatbread, I was very surprised as this was the first time You Tube has asked to rate or survey anything I've watched! I like how you explain things and give alternatives (except for alcohol ) lol . I wish you a great weekend. Greetings from the Island of Barbados in the Caribbean.

I got to get a handheld lemon juice! You make it look so easy.

Such great appetizers, a wonderful setting with floral arrangements, & cocktail set-ups!🎉🎉🎉 wow...party time!!

Again, thanks for another make ahead idea. I love that you’ve used deli salads in the cucumber cups. My husband makes a martini with just gin and ice. Your house looks lovely, as usual. Fresh flowers and beautiful music add to the elegance. I will definitely make the salami in puff pastry. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh Kevin you make it look so elegant and easy. Thank you.

Kevin, thanks so very much! New to the channel and happy I stumbled in; I've had wonderful take-a-ways that I will put into action!

Such a lovely little evening get together. Cheers to you!

What a pleasant 12 minutes this was. Thank you for sharing your ideas on gracious entertaining.

I love your old world charm and elegance. You home is beautiful and warm. The music is great. I am so happy to have found your channel. I am going to try your recipes. Thank you for this channel . I am looking forward to more videos.

Lovely. Drinks, good conversation and something delicious to nosh. Who could ask for more? I wish I was a neighbor😉

So thirsty, hungry and relaxed. Congratulations on the growth of your channel.

More delicious and easy recipes -- thank you!! Your home is so lovely!

Loved all your recipes! Auntie Mame said “ Olives take up too much room in such a little glass”! 😂

Wow, you went all out for this one, love it and love your channel and cookbook too the recipes are marvelous.

I just had to watch this one again. Thank you.

fantastic video thank you for sharing your recipes and table with us, so glad I found your channel, hugs from PA 😄

Puff pastry and salami, a savory yum for a party!

I love your channel. Everything you do is simply elegant.

This is what we and a lot of our friends do for dinner in Italy. Cocktail hour is really 5 pm-8 pm and called aperitivi in most of Italy. Meant to be little bites to get you thru to dinner, which doesn't start until 8 or 9 pm. Especially in the south like Napoli and Sicily, the food part is extensive and fantastic....lots of meats, cheese, salads, strata's, breads, chips, nuts, olives for the price of a drink or glass of wine. Sometimes we'll have a big lunch, then make the aperitivi our dinner. Adding some bean salads or grilled/sauteed veggies along with the other stuff makes for a complete and light meal. Then you go out for gelato at 9 pm afterwards :) And if you add some sweet red vermouth and Campari to the bar cart, your guests can make Negroni's! Very nice video, bravo.

You are fabulous in every way, natural and informative! I just discovered your channel and I love it! Will be binge watching over the next few days. ❤

Those salami puffs look very tasty, am not a great pastry cook so frozen suits me!

Love the recipes!

Holy Cow, lol, beautiful display, thank you!

Love your menu suggestions.. what a wonderful time for you and your guests

What a lovely party this will be! I’m going to make the salami and puff pastry the next time we have family over!

I loove your videos! And the way you pronounced 'pimientos' : ) so glad I found you!

Love your recipes!

Thank you. You make everything look so easy and elegant.

Made the salami in puff pastry. It is so easy and so delicious - huge reward for very little time and effort. I've made it about half a dozen times already and everyone adores it. It will be added to my `forever' list for of food for drinks parties as the `hot' element. Thanks from the UK.

Fantastic recipes! What a great episode. Thank you!

These appetizers, especially the salami bites, are definitely a must try!!! Gin is my favorite spirit-definitely going to try your favorite gin!!!

Ohhhh....what super-ideas....delicious!!!! A very versatile buffet.... I wish you a very enjoyable time..... I for sure will try these recepies.....

Love that "and a little bit more" gin in your martini...lol! Salute! The salami puffs, bean dip and cuke cups are perfect for a couple of happy hour cocktails. I've been binging your channel and enjoying each and every video. Thank you...
