Everyone who lives with you, especially during Quarantine, is so lucky!

I’ve said before and I will say it again...I REALLY appreciate you converting everything into metric measurements! 👏🏼

Just made this recipe today - he's not lying when he says they're like drops of sunshine in bar form. I have tasted many lemon-flavoured treats in my time, but these were the tangiest, zingiest, lemoniest bars I have ever tasted - made all the better by the fact that I made them myself in my own home. Get ready for a lemon explosion in your mouth upon tasting! Thank you John 😎👍🏻

I had lost my original lemon bar recipe from the 70's & then I found yours! I have fond memories but my new reality is just so much better than the past Thank you, you are simply the best ❤️

Normal people: When life gives you lemons... Make lemonade! John: Did somebody ask for a little drop of sunshine in bar form?!

John: "...But that's a little bit overboard, I think." Also John: *does it anyway*

Imagine having him as your dad, I’d be so happy eating all those treats everyday😂

Hello Preppy Kitchen from Vietnam! I would like to express my gratefullness to you and your cooking&baking videos, and of course your great efforts making bakings become easy to understand and follow! I first was a person who knew nothing at all about baking, and now I have a small business selling cakes made by myself, following your recipes! One day surfing youtube and got interested in your strawberry cupcakes video, I decided to try to follow and my kids loved the taste of it! I started to be inspired by baking since then! I always think how thankful I am to you who has been inspiring my hobby now as baking which brings me some profit I make everyday from selling cakes. Especially, I've learned even more the value of the money as baking is fun but always a hard job too! I baked a tray of lemon bar today and it received tons of great comments on the nice flavour! I am so happy that I decided to write some words here to thank you! I hope my poor English can be understood and please forgive me if there is any mistakes! Good luck to you and your beautiful family, and hope to see more videos of you bakibg on youtube! ❤

he reminds me of a theatre kid all grown up

John: *uses 8 eggs* Me: *thinking which weapon my mom will use for killing me if I use 8 eggs just for sunshine in a bar form.*

I made these lemon bars. They are amazing. I wanted to share a hiccup I had. I cooked according to recipe and all the set times during the refrigerator set time I realized they weren’t going to set. I left them in the refrigerator got up the next morning took them out to bring to room temperature tented the sides with foil preheat my oven to directions temp and in they went for another bake, they are in the cooling process and are going to be delicious! Just wanted to share incase it happens to anyone else. This is my forever recipe! Thank you

Hello John! I recently came across your channel and I LOVE it! I am not a home cook nor have a wide repertoire but your recipes and instructions are nice and easy to follow, plus your personality is infectious. I made your lemon bars last night and they were delicious! I don't have your cutting skills so they were not pretty or even but my neighbor was thankfully unconcerned. I did use almond flour for the crust and curd - my neighbor requires gluten-free. Per suggestion I added an additional 1/4 cup per cup of flour. The crust was nice and crispy and though the curd wasn't a sunshiney yellow, powdered sugar hid that very well. Yumola! Thank you so much! Hope to make the MIllionaire Shortbread next. Have a fantastic weekend with your family!

When life gives you lemons, make this right here

Crust: 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2/3 cups powdered sugar 12 tablespoon of unsalter butter Filling: 3 cups of sugar Zest of 3 lemons 1 cup of lemon juice 1/2 cup of flour 8 pcs of eggs

I love this channel and when he talks about his family, my heart melts. I love to cook for my family and his channel brings me joy.

I just tried this recipe. Awesome! A few lessons I learned: 1. Don’t let the crust cool before pouring the filling. Otherwise the filling will sink to the bottom. 2. Don’t overbake the crust. This can lead to dry, less dense crust so then the crust will float.

John and his lemons like if agree

my quarantine grocery delivery gave me four pounds of lemons instead of the four i requested. i have a million directions i could go in. i grated the peel and froze it and squeezed and froze the juice in ice cube trays from most of the lemons. i have some i still haven't decided what to do with. i may just do these lemon bars. thanks.

I made them with limes in Peru, and it’s just amazing

watching Jogn makes me so calm. he is like Bob Ross of cooking to me. Thank you, John!

John: Says little helpers My Brain: He is probably talking about his children Also My Brain: ELVES

Hi John! I made these lemon bars with my girlfriend last weekend, as they were a present for her mom. She loved them, and so did we! I’ve been wanting to learn how to make lemon bars for a while, so when I saw this video I was just so excited! I was surprised at how easy it was, and wow the fresh lemons and lemon sugar make a huge difference! So amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!

I made these lemon bars. They are amazing. I wanted to share a hiccup I had. I cooked according to recipe and all the set times during the refrigerator set time I realized they weren’t going to set.

Just wanted to share incase it happens to anyone else. This is my forever recipe! 👏🏻🙂 Thank you

Because of you, the rest of my life will be better! Thank you with all my heart!

I made these once, my brother loved them so much he asked me to make them for him when he moved out, I did! He LOVES lemon flavored things. Thanks for sharing!

0:03 "my lemon bar recipe is so easy to make, fool proof!" have you met me good sir

Your recipes are super easy to follow, not complicated steps, for a beginner baker like me. I’ve recently began to really enjoy lemon flavoured desserts and now I’m hooked. I probably bake lemon cookies every couple of months but I’m going to add this one to my next lemon baking day! Thank you!

I am smiling and can’t wait to try this lemon bar!!

When you realise that the yellow in lemon bars doesnt really come from the lemons but from the yolks

You are our little ray of sunshine 🌞 John in these dark times. Lemon bars are just the bonus.

I just tried this recipe for a christmas party. First time for me to make lemon bars, and it turned out really delicious! It has a very balance flavor of lemon, sugar and butter. Definitely will bake these again. Thank you for the recipe!

I made these last night as a gift. That’s trust. But John’s recipes are reliable. I baked and cooled for an hour and put them in the ‘fridge overnight. I cut and sugared and wrapped this morning. I safety tested. 😆 Oh my-dangerously wonderful. 💣

i want to mention that i like all your baking recipes. we seem to like the same things and they are a throwback to the more old-fashioned bakes like what i grew up with. (i'm 109, lol!)

The wooden lemon juicer is called a reamer and as always John thank you for gram measurements and centigrade cooking temps, so helpful for Brits

I just love your channel every thing I have made from your channel has turned out Awesome!

I absolutely adore you! Your cooking videos should be a staple in EVERY kitchen! You have a great sense of humor, patience and are always so descriptive about everything you are doing! Great job!

i just couldn't resist! it just, it's so endearing... 😁 0:38 parchment paper 3x 1:34 whisk 3x 1:57 drizzle 3x 3:07 press 4x 3:44 so sad 2x 4:26 while that short crust is in the ove...enn 2 1/2x 😂 5:28 whizz 3x 7:29 whisk 5x 8:14 mix 3x

Finally, someone who is just as crazy about lemons. I love lemon anything, they're the best!

I made these yesterday and they are amazing! They will forever be on my holiday cookie list !! So easy and so tasty!!!❤

Me: " Buys five lbs bag of lemons to do a lemon/water cleanse." Also me: " Do we have 8 eggs?"

This guy: "Did somebody ask for a little drop of sunshine in bar form" Me: No, but continue. 🤤

Please let the person who “corrected” you on your usage of the word scale that this is the 21st century. Unless you are using an old set of scales with two sides-one to hold a weight and the other to hold the item(s) being weighed-the correct term for what you are using is “scale”, in the singular.

I love lemon, but I never was a fan of these, now I know why. This is a great recipe, simple, well done. and really delicious. I followed this too. I now realize that the other ones I had snubbed were not real lemons, but a pie filling and the crust was soggy. These however are perfect: lemony, sweet, and the crust is perfectly softly crunchy. Thanks!

You are a favorite of mine and my husbands. He pre ordered your cookbook for my birthday and was a great addition to my collection. I collect cookbooks and yours is a favorite. We have made several things you've made. Thank you for being so amazing

I made these and now I can’t stop eating them...

My mother made this exact recipe but added 2 cups of shredded coconut to the curd. My absolute favorite bars!

I made these tonight and they turned out great! First my house smelled like sweet vanilla, then lemony goodness. My family loved these. Thank you!

I teach 2nd grade and decided to use my fellow teachers as my test taster group for these lemon bars. Mind you, teachers are a tough crowd because many of them can bake! So, I left them in the staff room and they were all gone by lunch! Many of them said they were SO good! Thank you!!!!

I don't rap, but I'm sure up for dropping these kind of bars. Looks delicious!

Thanks to YOU, now I sift everything and bought a scale, because I want to be like you when I grow up! 😆

Mr. Preppy, I absolutely love watching you bake. The adjectives you use really make me feel like I am right there with you. Thank you for sharing your joyful enthusiasm.

I made these today and while I'm generally a hot mess in the kitchen anymore, and made the odd mistake or too, these turned out yummy, thank you!! I wish I had your lemons. I bought six and still had to supplement with with a touch of bottled juice. Will most likely make them again! 💛🙂

Every time I see his smile on my recommendations, it makes me feel wholesome

I can’t wait to make this. The recipes I’ve used before never seemed to turn out. However I have tried many of John’s recipes and tasted sweet success. Thank you for this one. I love lemon deserts.

I love this guy. You can tell he genuinely loves being a pastry chef

This is legitimately the best recipe I have EVER had. I worked at a bakery and this is the recipe they use

You’re such a bundle of joy it’s refreshing! Can’t wait to make this recipe! Thank you!

Just like all John’s recipes, this is truly amazing! I just made it for my family and everyone loved it! Super easy to make and super delicious

You are my go-to for recipes, you explain everything so nicely! Just made these today, in the fridge cooling!

Love your lemon recipes so very much. Will surely give it a try. Thanks for making it so simple. The end result looks sumptuous!

He’s got a real James Bond villain energy.

When he's genuinely laughing or smiling, its the cutest thing.

Just finished making these using your recipe and just ate four! I had no idea what lemon bars were supposed to taste like before today.

My mouth watered watching this! I LOVE lemon anything.

"You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful Queen of the Andals and the first men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains." "This is John Kanell. He's King of Vanilla."

John, I made these for my mother for Mother’s Day. She absolutely loved them, what a easy to follow recipe with already in my pantry ingredients. Thank you so much for your hard work.

i’m making these right now and so far so good. i shouldn’t be worried since every other time i’ve used johns recipes my desserts have turned out amazing and i have become the designated baker for family occasions

I just made these lemon bars and they were easy and perfect. So beautifully tart and fresh from all the fresh lemon zest and juice ! Thank you for making baking enjoyable John ! I wish I could send you a picture of my beauties.

I’ve just made this beautiful slice and it looks ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like your gorgeous creation!!. 😂😂😂 It smells divine so I’m sure it will taste yummy too. It’s my first attempt at baking after battling anxiety and depression for years. I fear the sight of my “creation” may bring on anxiety again! 😂 Thank you for your lovely channel. You are truly charming. 😁

I love him, he talks I smile.. thank you for great recipes during these sad times.. Bless

These are amazing and easy and so lemony!!!! My new favorite thing to bake. Thank you John!

Lemon bars are sooo good. That crust with the cold lemon deliciousness is unmatched. I request them for my birthday every year. There is really nothing like them.

Every time I look for a certain recipe, you somehow come up with the best and easiest recipes! I really enjoy your videos and every time I see one it makes me smile! Thank you so much!

I made these last week and they were lovely! A very easy, sound recipe that came together in no time. I'll definitely be making these again! Thanks for the lemony goodness!

Great job and I appreciate you mentioning some of the simple things (like what to do if you overcook the batch!). Looking forward to trying this!

Just made these and they’re soooo good! I’ve made others before but yours is the best recipe! Thank you!

I used your recipe last night and finished it this morning. They came out so good! First time making any kind of lemon-based dessert. Thank you for all the great little tips!

adopt me. please. i beg you.

Thank you Mr. Preppy. I made this for company this weekend and it was a great success.

My first time making these, your recipes are easy to follow and always turn out great!

Love your recipes...I’m making a book of all my recipes for my grand daughters as they love to bake with me. Your recipes will be a part of the book I leave for them. Memories!

I just made this for the second time. Heaven in a bite! Thanks John

Literally obsessed with your videos, I made your lemon cheese cake and now the who family is requesting i make it again. So im going to try these bars tonight, can't wait!

John, I love watching you cook. You look like you're having a blast. I love that you're not perfect either. Can't wait to try some of your recipes. THANK YOU!!!

I have a complaint: this channel is so fun and interesting I am not getting any work done. John: you are to blame for my new baking addiction!

I, too, am a lemonaholic and haven't had lemon bars for soooo long! I'll be making these today and introducing my grandchildren to them. One of them is like me and loves lemon so I know they'll be a hit with him but I'm hoping they'll both love them. If not, no loss, just more for me and my fellow lemonaholic grandson :)

OMG - i cant wait to make this... looks soo good and i'm smiling just listening to you. Thank you so much for breaking things down in such simple steps.

I’m just found this channel and I have fallen in LOVE with it, it’s now my favourite pass time just to watch John bake ❤❤❤

John is currently obsessed with lemon!! So as I do❤️ Love frm India❤️ Whisk whisk whisk whisk whisk 🎶

"This lemon bar will be made in two shakes of a lamb's tail" Loved that!

I’m making these today!! I’m so excited to try them. Thank you for all your efforts! You are the best ❤️

This was the most delicious recipe ever, everybody needs to make this

I’ve made lemon bars before and they’re so freaking good and not difficult to make at all 🍋 🍋

So I tried this out a few hours ago, and the bars are absolutely amazing! My family loves it and they just finished an entire tray!

I went and got all the iingredients and had fun making this awesome treat. I selected you because you explain and educate as you go along. Plus this is far easier and less complicated that French Lemon Tart. It's in the oven and tonmorrow I will be sharing them with my neighbours cos I am single. It is 8 pm so I will chill them overnight. I feel incredibly happy cooking and it is really easy.

I love your recipes!! I love how you explain everything, you’d make a fantastic mentor to work with in the kitchen.

Oh the glorious lemon ! When I was little, Mom would give us each a quarter. We would walk down to the local grocery.. to buy a treat. My brother and sister would buy candy ( of course... what else would a kid do with a quarter ) Not me, I would buy a couple of lemons .. bring them home .. slice them up. Then it was me, my lemons and a shaker of salt. THIS was my TREAT ! Lemon-aholic .. ? yes .. ! To this day lemon flavor rules ! I SO want to make these !!

As a lemonoholic, I'd love to try this recipe out! Especially now, when we all need a little drop of sunshine in our lives~

I love how you are so enthusiastic it makes me want to cook ! Love this recipe ,I will definitely try ,thank you for sharing !👏👏

This is the best recipe!!! They were amazing.
