Dear Foodie!

Hi There!

Chef Kevin picWell here it is!… the first post in my new blog. It’s taken forever (feels like) to get around to it, but finally its up and running!

I know some bloggers have the time to write every day, and sometimes a few times a day. Unfortunately, I can’t (and won’t) make that promise to you. Being a Chef/instructor/personal chef/caterer keeps me on the road more than I would like most of the time, so I’m limited in how much I can post here.

What I will promise is to write when I can find the time… about whatever comes to mind. There’s sure to be tasty Chef’s tips, great recipes, food and nutritional information (some pretty scary),  and lots of foodie chatter to keep you informed & entertained.

So until I get back at it…

Yours in Food & Friendship,
Chef Kevin

    Dear Chef Kevin,

    I have always been grateful to you and your chum the Pastry Chef, for figuring out my Chocolate pie problem.

    You ask about our cooking problems. I find that they change over the years. For many years my cooking was mostly of the “industrial” variety, with a large family and lots of children. You cannot cook the same things for children as you would want to serve to mature people. So here are my present cooking problems:

    1. Being an American in Europe, I have always found that our tastes are different. Our food is simpler. So, I need recipes that are suitable for the more sophisticated palatte.

    2. I need recipes that are for fewer people. All my life I have cooked for 5. Then for 10 – 15, and now I would like to cook for 3 or 4 grownups.

    3. Because of advancing age, I would like recipes that do not require hours STANDING in the kitchen. I want to be able to put a nice meal on the table, but not to be crippled by 6PM.

    4. Lastly, Californians do not do soups and starters, where I come from. I need simple starters and soups for the British weather, and palatte.

    Maybe you could bung a few recipes onto a page for older foodies abroad. Call it “Nancy’s Page”. Make them light, no cream, lower calorie, and nutritious.

    Looks OK for Barrington (I think), but Bridgewater might be out. Doesn’t sound good…

    My 11 year old son wanted to start “seafood sundays” where he gets to sample different types of fish and shellfish from the sea a few months ago and now every Sunday we have seafood. My mother in New Minas, NS told me about your website. On March 1 we made Steamed Mussels Bistro-Style. It was the best recipe for mussels I have ever tried and he devoured almost the full 2 pounds. You can put an A+ by that recipe.

    Hi Darlene,

    Great to hear from you, and welcome to my foodie world :)

    So glad I could help you out with your Seafood Sundays. I have sooo many seafood recipes around, both from my classes, and just “stuff”, that I can’t possibly use (or remember) them all. If there’s something you need in particular… anyone reading this… let me know and I’ll post it or direct you to it in my online cookbook here
    CLICK HERE FOR RECIPES

    Also, if you’re not on my mailing list, you should sign up here
    CHEF KEVIN’S LIST

    Sure I can simply add you myself, but anyone that goes through this signup system automatically gets a free e-cookbook of “1001 Ingredient Substitutions”, and handy manual to have around.

    So thanks for dropping in, and thanks to your Mom for sending you :)

    Hi Chef Kevin, just curious I can see that you really like sharing your recipes but I have a friend does not like doing that, why is that? Do Chefs like you keep a certain recipe? Nothing personal just curios. :)
