“Kevin’s Kitchen” Is Here!/Winners Announced

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 1,237 Comments

Last updated on January 9th, 2018

Thanks for playing, everyone! Winners of the giveaway are: #528 Barbara Bramblett; #1006 Meghan, and #305 Debbie. Send me a note (click here) with your shipping address, so I can send out your prize!

My brand new cookbook — KEVIN’S KITCHEN — launches today! So to celebrate, first I’m going to show you the book’s scandalous chapters. Then I’m going to answer a couple of your questions. And finally, I’m going to give away a few copies of the book in a random drawing!

You can order the book right now, right here.

Vital Statistics:

1) The book is 218 pages long, and printed on glossy, heavy-stock paper. It’s a high-quality book!

2) Approximately 75% of the book’s 100 recipes are vegetarian-friendly.

3) The book includes an exhaustive index. So if you are looking for a recipe that uses a certain ingredient (i.e., “chicken” or “rosemary”), you can find the recipe in a jiff!

The Chapters

Breakfast and Brunch. Hosting a Sunday Brunch? Prepare one of my make-ahead brunch casseroles on Saturday night. The next morning, you’ll need only to turn on the oven before your guests arrive. Also included in this chapter: healthy granolas, sinful (and not-so-sinful) pancakes, and, and, and…

Small Savories and Sweets for Afternoon Tea or Anytime Snacks. Wanna live like a British aristocrat even when you’re not? Then you must host a classy Afternoon Tea. You might be surprised to learn that traditional cream scones, small savory sandwiches, and attractive sweets can be prepared well in advance. I’ll even show you how to make your own clotted cream!

Make-Ahead Cocktail Appetizers. Be a guest at your own cocktail party! Just gather some fresh, fragrant herbs from the garden (or farmers’ market), and turn them into irresistible dips and spreads. Then whip up my easy, elegant, make-ahead canapes, and pour yourself a drink.

First Course Soups. I think a perfumed puree of a seasonal vegetable from the garden is the best (and also the easiest) way to start a dinner party. For cold-weather dining, I rely on butternut squash, garlic, and leeks. Warm weather invites lettuce and lovage, or a soup made from red bell peppers which is much more than the sum of its few ingredients.

Main Courses. You’ll find these are suitable for either lunch or dinner. Because food-allergies and food-phobias are prevalent these days, I’ve included a number of mains that will satisfy both vegetarians and the gluten-intolerant. Almost all of the recipes can be served year-round.

Delectable Desserts. I love sweets and hope you do, too. And there is a sweet treat for every season — berries in summer, apples in autumn, and lemons and chocolate for the rest of the year. You do like chocolate, yes?

FAQs

Where can I buy the book? Well, if you want it in time for the winter holidays, your best bet is to order the book directly from BookBaby.com (Click here to order.)  In late November, you’ll be able to buy the book at Barnes and Noble. In December, Amazon will have the book.

Can you sign my copy? Yes! But only if you and I are physically together in the same place. I’ll let you know if and when I arrange any book-signing dates. Right now my priority is Lily the Beagle. She’s getting on in years.

Who’s the photographer? Andy Milford took the picture of me that appears on the book’s back cover. All other photos were taken by me, right in my own kitchen and dining room. The pictures were shot in natural light, and without the (enviable) help of food stylists. In other words, they’re very “honest” photos!

Random Drawing!

For a chance to win a copy of Kevin’s Kitchen: 100 Recipes for Delicious Living, post a comment below. You can say whatever pops into your head. If nothing pops into your head, just tell me what you had for dinner last night!

I’ll use the little number generator at Random.org to select 3 winners. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, November 14, 2017, so be sure to check back!

Update: This giveaway has concluded. 

Love ya –

Kevin

    Kevin, I love your commentaries with the recipes. All of them (the food…not the commentaries) have been a big hit with my family. Latest favorite are the easy molasses cookies. I also like the pictures you include. I had never made a soufflé before, so the tips you gave were very helpful.
    I did the pumpkin souffle and used pumpkins from my garden this year.

    Wow! Aren’t you somepin’ else! What a fine achievement to have accomplished! I look forward to obtaining a copy of your cookbook! I can only imagine how successful you are feeling as we aspire to publishing our family generationally passed down recipes in one book but only for family members:-). We have an old farm home in MS where our roots are grounded securely in this earth. It needs some small amount of attention so we enjoy getting ideas from your videos and blog. My daughter, who is in a wheelchair, has gleaned many a helpful hint from your garden strolls as she considers new landscape ideas. You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your many nuggets of knowledge and ideas with us all. Congratulations on your new cookbook being published!

    Hup Kevin , we’re living on your gorgeous brown bread – the one with lumps of brown sugar and egg in it! Herself took to it immediately – She’s from the County Clare of course – so I’ve dumped my 15 year old recipe for yours! Might be able to squeeze “Kevin’s Kitchen” in on the groaning bookshelf…

    Last night’s dinner was Julia Child’s Potato and Sausage Casserole, a recipe I watched her make on one of her ancient tv shows. We got the DVD from the library. I think it was the 60’s!

    So glad your book is hitting the shelves!

    Diane Hinkle says

    Having a granddaughter with Celiac Disease makes cooking difficult for me. All my tried and true recipes are for those of us who can eat most anything. This book is said to contain both types of recipes and that will be so helpful. Congrats on the publishing of your book!

    Debi says

    Wow! How exciting to show off your book. My favorite cousin, aka, your favorite taster, will make sure my copy us signed. I might even get to meet you. Dinner last night was at Sandbar Tiki Grille in Englewood Florida- with our 2 grandsons. The sunset was beautiful.

    Kathleen Killmeyer says

    Wow, Kevin, for at least 35 years I have been saying I want to write a cookbook – and I still haven’t! Even though I have many of my own ways to bring delicious meals together, it just is not easy to put it all on paper in a way that inspires and educates others. So this is a huge accomplishment on your part and you can be very proud. I wish you the best of luck with the sales of your book and thank you for always being so willing to share with no expectations in return.

    Congratulations! It looks like a great book – I’ve certainly enjoyed the recipes I’ve tried from here so I know I’ll adore the book!

    My brother is a vegetarian so our Thanksgiving tradition for the last 8 or so years has been to make up a menu of recipes that we haven’t tried yet (it’s fun but can be a bit dicey but so far only one has been a fail) & thanks to you, this year’s dessert is going to be your Chocolate Gingerbread Cake (made with rice flour as I have Celiac). My husband is suggesting we serve it with Dulce de Leche ice cream so that’s what we’ll do. Thank you!

    This puts my three-hole punch into retirement as I (semi pathetically) print and punch your recipes and have created my own KRM (Kev Ref Manual). Red pepper soup is one of my favorites and blender corn soufflé (even bought the blue ramekins (again pathetic). I’m usually not a follower. This means your up to 307 sales. Excellent!

    Your cookbook, I hope it’s funny like your written blog, and I want it autographed. Are book tours awful? My friend Cynthia the great and mighty is coming here this very today on her book tour — she loves them but she does a lot more than just speak & sign — and what are we fixin’ fer dinner? Eggplant cubes & the last of the Carmine peppers, woodstove-roasted on a big pan, with squares of chicken thighs tucked in at the end, my invention (I think). You’re invited for dinner on your book tour.

    Congratulations, Kevin! I am excited to see the book. You have a knack for including important details that other people leave out. For example, I searched through 6 books by bakers to find out what is the grey liquid on my sourdough starter and what do I do with it. Then I looked on your website, and learned about the hooch. Thank you for all you do!

    First off, a hearty Congratulations!
    Now, this book would certainly help to get me off the not so delicious fast food gravy train…. I retire in 3 years, and by that time, I want to be able to dazzle my wife with delectable dinners. Winning a copy of your book would be a step in the right direction….

    This cookbook will be a timesaver instead of pouring over emails trying to remember a recipe I saw maybe 2 weeks ago or was it 2 months ago? You get the picture.

    COLLEEN M JOHNSON GASI says

    Congratulations on the publication of your cook book! Publishing is always a bit nerve wracking but you have the most amazing recipes that I am sure your cook book will sell quite well.

    I would love to receive a copy, that’s what brought me here. Your email said to post a comment for a chance to win a copy LOL! Well, look at the number of my post? Don’t you think that this alone is a good show of the potential sales of your book!

    Yeah, there are tons of cook books with recipes galore. But they aren’t yours. The pictures are beautiful and the feeling is heartfelt. This is you, sharing yourself with the world.

    Congratulations!

    Justine from Victoria BC says

    I didn’t see the price of your book yet, but I have already determined I am gifting copies of it to my “special” beloveds who (like me) want a secret weapon for dazzling in the host department while not sweating the details. Every one of your recipes that I have tried has been easy, fun to follow (your commentary is a scream) and, yes, delicious. I especially love when you use things (like lavender) from the garden to make special homebred treats. That you also are so committed to sharing secrets of your DIY garden, Victorian home, and Lily the beagle, endears you beyond measure. Yesterday marked the third year my sweetie and I have been mulching the oak leaves that fall on our ½ acre, thanks to your advice! (My happy soil says hi and thanks!) I wish you LOTS of success with this book and my only selfish hope is that you don’t get so busy that you forget about us over here! xo

  754. 754

    Linda says

    Congratulations on your book, Kevin. You must be so excited and relieved to have accomplished this. Your recipes are wonderful!!

    Mary P says

    Like many others all your recipes that I have tried have been undisputed winners! I don’t think I can wait to see if I’ve won a copy of your book so I’ll be purchasing your book very soon. Congrats and I’m so very sure it will be a great success! Now I’m going back to look at your recipes for Thanksgiving. Our family will congregate at Olema campground and everyone will be bringing a dish. Most have motor homes so there won’t be too many recipes that are undo able. Happy Thanksgiving Kevin!

  758. 758

    Thank you for putting out this lovely blog, I’ve been enjoying it for years!
    Last night I made grilled bacon and apples over some corn spoon bread. The spoon bread was left over from the night before when it was served with roasted chicken thighs/brussels sprouts/cubes of salami, and enjoyed with a cranberry/strawberry/orange sauce.

    Kevin congratulations on your book! It looks like a wonderful addition to my kitchen and I can’t wait to try the recipes -my daughter is already a huge fan of your tomato pie! I made her wait months until the heirloom tomatoes were ready lol!

    I love that you are staying home to look after Lily the beagle and postponing your book signing! I have an elderly miniature dachshund – he’s now 15 and like Lily getting on in years. I told my hubby no more boarding for our little fella (therefore no vacations) he’s just too old and we want to take the best care of him we can in his ‘senior’ years! I always had a feeling you were a decent and kind person and now I know for sure!

  782. 782

    Meghan says

    I make many of your recipes; I try to emulate your gardens; I had a love affair with my beagle, Bruno; I love your house in all stages, and I like how you convey both a sense of wit with caring. I would love to win your cookbook.

    We got caught out shopping so we stopped at Houlihan’s happy hour for appetizers: char crusted Ahi tuna (the sauce they drizzle over sets off all my tastebuds at once!), stuffed shrooms (my daughter’s absolute favorite, and Thai wings (double delishish).
    Congrats on the book. Can’t wait to peruse and see what’s old favorite and what’s new!

    Congratulations!
    We also have an old dog (Brittany Spaniel). Her name is Dottie and she is the reason we do (or don’t, mostly) go on any outings. Going off without her would cause her some anxiety and our goal is to keep her relaxed and happy. There will always be time for outings but right now is the time for Dottie.
    Wishing you success with the cookbook and a great Holiday season.

    Since my late grandfather taught me the love of baking and my mom loves cooking, we have so many cookbooks that when we cannot figure out what to have for dinner or even breakfast so go right to the books. My grandfather collected cookbooks even though he was a master executive chef.

    We had a terrible storm here in Ohio and have spent a few days in a hotel because we had no power.

We’ll do a little better tonight after we go to the grocery store!

    Rosemarie in rural Kansas City says

    FINALLY!!!
    Seems like forever since you announced the ‘birth’ of the cookbook
    The wait has been long – and I’ve been trying to order it for over a month now
    Supposed to be an early Christmas gift from my dear husband but don’t believe I’ll be able to wait that long!
    Everything about it looks beautiful
    Know it was a huge endeavor for you to say nothing of the work involved
    You are so loved by so many, Kevin
    You ‘got’ me with the first recipe I tried – the famous (or infamous?) Tomato Pie
    Thank you for YOU and for all you do!

    I have made and enjoyed many of your recipes. Would so love to have a copy of your new cookbook so I would have those recipes together in one place. Hugs to Miss Lily, I have a special miniature Schnauzer who is my best buddy.

    Martha says

    Your blog makes my Sunday afternoons so special. I don’t allow myself to look at your post until I’m completely relaxed and able to give it my undivided attention. I’d love to give your cookbook that same kind of attention.

  876. 876

    Mary Beth says

    Love you too, Kevin.
    I tried buying your book, on the first place you had to click on. It took me to the website, let me order the book but… when I tried to check out would not let me enter the information to actually buy the book. Tried checking out as a guest then as a new member. VERY FRUSTRATING. So I guess I will have to wait until it hits Amazon. I emailed the book seller website but just thought you might like to know in case your book is not selling like you though. I would hate for you to get discouraged.

    Jesse Duvall says

    Kevin, scandalous and vegetarian, who could ask for more!
    For last night’s dinner, I made vegetarian Salvadorian pupusas stuffed with fresh from my garden spinach and queso blanco and mozzarella cheese, with avocado slices and Curtido (Curtido is raw cabbage, carrots, shallots, cilantro, South Texas mesquite honey and apple cider vinegar slaw). Desert was fresh mango with a honey mint sauce. Living in Houston, our comfort foods are Cajun and South of the Border. South of the Border means not only Mexico and beyond but also the Deep South states of U.S.
    We have the best food, but it is always best at home. That’s the main reason cookbooks are so popular.

    Last night I was lazy but in the end I was hungry so had to get up.. I made a simple dish.. raw dry mixed slaw with shallots slivers of fresh beetroot and carrot , baby spinach leaves and red quinoa and chick peas tossed through. A small steak sliced over the top as well as a little sliced red onion, all drizzled with some extra virgin olive oil a sprinkle of salt and cracked pepper and a good squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dollop of greek yogurt and French mustard.. nothing else and it took me just a few minutes to make

  903. 903

    Karen L. says

    Kevin, It looks like the photos in your new cook book are a true representation of the food that was made … and boy do they all look scrumptious! This would certainly be a great Christmas gift to a budding cook/chef or an accomplished cook/chef or anyone in between. I am happy for you that this has finally come to fruition. We all know that lots of sweat and work went into this venture and I hope the book sells out and goes into multiple future printings.

    Congratulations! Best of luck on the roll out. I look forward to getting a copy, and maybe gifting a few copies…hugs from Alaska! XOXO

    Rebecca Van Mol says

    I really like your website. your emails are very peaceful for me. Your house and your tours of it are great . Enjoy the recipes, especially your videoed recipes. You have worked very hard on your garden and it shows. Love your garden hints like the paper covering and my sister and I both bought bulb planters in a small hardware store in Kansas.

    I am due for a cataract operation, also, and it was fun to read about your experience-you eyes are a sparkly blue.
    I am lately thrilled about our new grocery delivery sites in Kansas City area; our 94 year old Mom
    keeps me here; she likes food. She’s recently taking an antibiotic, so I ordered probiotic kefir, yogurt, plus some collards and cabbage.

    Thank-you for your website,

    Becky

    Since I have been down with a cold, my husband made us dinner last night. It consisted of oven baked chicken tenders, roasted acorn squash and steamed broccoli. It was very good but I know he would enjoy receiving your
    brand new cookbook. Maybe he’ll be the winner??

    Kathy from Cold Climate Gardening says

    I had to scroll down a long way to get to the comment form. Already over a thousand people wanting to win a copy! We had turkey today due to a miscommunication where the turkey that was supposed to go straight from the grocery store into the freezer wound up in the spare refrigerator instead. By the time the mistake had been discovered, the turkey was thoroughly defrosted. There was no other choice but to cook it!

    Cheers Kevin!

    Oh my, so many comments today! It just proves how many of us LOVE you. Since you asked, I made your wonderful Rigatoni alla Salsiccia e Panna this evening; being Italian and a chef myself, this has become a go to dinner for me, with extra Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, as my family and friends really enjoy it. And I have a gigantic rosemary bush that I have grown from a mere twig three years ago, so I can add plenty to this dish and it is a wonderful creation, thanks for the recipe!

    Love LOVE your witty articles, and your wonderful sense of humor, I read EVERY SINGLE EMAIL you send, and always look forward to the next one. Much good luck with you new cookbook, I’m sure it will be a huge success, you know so many of us have been waiting for it, and can’t wait to read it.

    Hi Kevin.
    Last night we celebrated at the VFW honoring the Veterans and a dear friend who has been a member for 71 years. We were served pulled pork, garlic mashed (real) potatoes and corn. There were beautifully decorated cakes honoring each branch of the military.
    Congratulations on your cook book. I look forward to your “honest” pictures to help me see how things should look. Thank you!

    Congratulations Kevin! I have used many of your recipes and have enjoyed each of them.
    Recently made the Pate Brisee with the Caramelized Onion and Vermont Blue Cheese Galette for a late fall picnic before our final outdoor theatre season production. It was a wonderful hit! Another favorite among family and friends is your Oktoberfest Lager Stew with Sausage, Potatoes, Caramelized Onions and Golden Cabbage. It’s perfect during our Oktoberfest Festival when family and friends come to to share the festival.
    Hang in there Lily, Kevin needs you. My Corgi Sophie is 14 and she gets a massage each evening after our play time. She gets her ‘fluff and buff’ on Thursday this week. Our fury friends add so much to our lives.

    I feel admiration towards men who are interested in cooking and sharing their food knowledge.
    Your recipes and tips do attract attention and many thanks for sharing them. I never win anything in ruffles, etc. but I am writing just in case. Had lentils last night and shared them with my daughter and family; my lentils were gone in no time, all enjoyed them. But my husband was waiting for the leftovers, much to his disappointment. Congratulations!

    Last night BTW I had my first persimmon. (I love just saying the word persimmon, but never thought I’d be able to buy and eat one around here in rural Vermont.) I hope to see a persimmon recipe here one of these days. (Or maybe there is one I’ve missed?)

    Judging from the number of comments listed, I doubt I’ll be a lucky winner. But it bodes well for book sales so I’m glad for you. I always like it when you confide how much of your creations that you eat yourself. I feel like I’m not the only person who can’t control myself. Best wishes, the book looks wonderful!

    Barbara J Chaisson says

    I look forward to every one of your e-mails. You supply us with so many great recipes, hints, and videos of your cooking or lovely restored (does it ever end?) home with “The Silver Fox”. I look forward to being able to eat again after I go through a very restrictive diet after esophageal/hiatal hernia surgery last week. So far…I am on clear liquids…Next week I move onto more liquids and some soft foods. I will be restricted for 8 weeks as to intake…each week will mean I can add more bland choices until finally at Christmas I should be able to eat almost anything….it will all depend on how well my 73-year-old body decides to process food. Sort of like starting over as a baby. Learning to taste and eat slowly….Currently, I am savoring so many recipies with anticipation…Congratulations on your cookbook. I shall put it on my Christmas list so that certain person who has no idea what I might want, will know exactly my wishes this year. My best wishes for Lily to have a quality level of health and life. Our pets are our greatest friends…they love us no matter….Give her all the love and attention she needs…it is the most important thing you can do for her now.

    Kevin, congratulations on completing the book! It looks as charming as the rest of your website! I was fascinated to see the chocolate gingerbread house! Had not realized that Nordic made a cake pan in that shape. Your cake is delightful in it!

    Hi Kevin,
    Greetings from the U.K. Thankyou for your so interesting blog which I only discovered about a year ago. Love your home and grounds, they remind me of our tour of New England in autumn of ’94. Your recipes are always interesting even if I do sometimes have to translate an ingredient or two. Congratulations on the cookbook, I’ll be so glad to catch up on the recipes that I have missed.
    Best wishes to you and Lily.

    Jane says

    A very big congratulations!!! I just finished reading Julia Child’s Life in France and I have a new appreciation for the work of a cookbook. It took her years!! Given I never make anything the same way twice, I’d have been totally challenged by the notion of this.

    Your timing for releasing this is perfect! This will be a Christmas gift for many on my list. They will now be in on my once a week, sit down alone time to read your blog and have tea indulgence. I know I should have shared sooner, but….

    Things with Lilly sound rough…enjoy your time with her. You are lucky to have each other, but you know that.
