Dear Foodie!
Hi There!
Well 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.
Great web site hope you are feeling well and thanks for the tips and ideas you have given me some of the things worked out great some others well I will leave that one for another day.
Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Hi
Wondering if we’ll get to sample your wonderful food or if Mother Nature will nix it!
Hi Jeanelle,
Looks OK for Barrington (I think), but Bridgewater might be out. Doesn’t sound good…
Kevin
Great, thanks!
And Thank You Josh for dropping in!
Look around the place and see what you find. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with…

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

Hi chef Kevin I would like some organic food recipes using the healthiest foods available.

o say that the lead and technical lead in the entertainment industry is really not the same, “Avatar,” the remaining prestige seems to extend beyond one year..

I love to cook. Chef girlfriend or not, I want to do more of it. Food at home should be about love, joy, family. And if my basmati rice is soggy and crunchy at the same time, it’s not the end of the world.
I loved your article on tips for cooking a roast!! Placing the roast on veggies worked wonders and tasted delicious. Thank you!

Hey super Blog!
Ich komme aus Deutschland und möchte alle Leser dieses Bloks recht herzlich grüßen – greetings from germany – thanks.
A Blogger/Chef you inspired me a lot. I have no reason not to be able to write if a busy Chef like you can still managed to write a very helpful tips and recipes for a work at home Mom like me.
I love to explore I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Looks like a great idea and very tasty. Love this blog. Keep up the good work. Would love to eat something actually cooked by you, maybe that day will come.
By the way if you are looking for link exchange with quality Solicitors directory,please drop an email-I will be glad to add your link.
Wow.. nice tips and recepies… informative
Aside from your healthy and helpful blog chefkevin, do you also have videos that shows how you cook a certain recipe?
Not yet…

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.
I was looking around for some recipe ideas and came across this site. I will have to look through your posts that you have. Also I am about to put together recipes for my site mostly about Cheese! Check it out and if you have any suggestions for me please do let me know.
Some do, but I don’t
CK
Kevin, I love this blog! Do you think you’ll be writing any new posts any time soon?

If only I could find the time Kayla… Perhaps in a while…
