Hello everyone! In this episode I show you some of my favorite make-ahead recipes for a cold-weather dinner party. The menu includes Butternut-Apple Soup; Braised Short Ribs, and Chocolate Pots de Creme. Recipes are in the description below: #thanksgiving #christmas #entertaining
*Heat-Resistant Oven Gloves: amzn.to/3O1cCEE
*Coated Chicken Wire for Flower Arrangements: amzn.to/3ET0ouR
(Items marked * are from my Amazon shop where I am compensated on products sold at no cost to the consumer.)
Butternut-Apple Soup
Ingredients for 6-8 servings
A 3Lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and roughly cubed
2 'Granny Smith' apples, cored and roughly chopped
1 large onion, roughly chopped
Olive oil
5 cups (40 oz) vegetable stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Grinds of black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Put the squash, apples, and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake in the preheated oven until tender and caramelized -- about 30 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
Tip the squash, apples, onion, and 2 1/2 cups (20 oz) of the veg stock into the jar of a high-powered electric blender. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend until silky smooth -- about 30 minutes. Pour the puree and the remaining stock into a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When you are ready serve the soup, bring it to a simmer over low heat on the stove top. If desired, garnish each serving of soup with a drizzle of cream and a light sprinkling of ground cinnamon.

You've made me realize I can cook for my family like this, and set an elegant table. I have my mother's wedding china from the 1940s, which she never used for fear it would break. I am 75 now and I think it's time to bring it out and serve my son and granddaughter on these delicate plates. Thank you for reminding me elegance is for every day

Hi Kevin, given how wonderful your Red Bell Pepper Soup was a couple of weeks ago I'm going to try your Squash recipe from today. I bet it's just as yummy. I don't recall ever having had Short Ribs, I will order some from my local butcher because this recipe is clearly a winner. I loved the reference to the Holy Trinity of Vegetables!! I love Cranberry sauce and Cranberry jelly but I've never ventured working with the fresh fruit. This recipe looks fantastic. I'm sold already! I happen to have some bitter chocolate in my cupboard and thanks to you I've now got a perfect recipe to use it. The result looks glorious. As a foot note, I made your fantastic Lemon Pudding Cakes a few days ago. I cannot get over how WONDERFUL they were. Thank you Soooo much for the recipe - no - for ALL your excellent and simple to follow recipes. You are now my Favourite Go To Cooking and Life Style Reference. Pure success every time. Thank you so much. Oh and you may that gorgeous pedestal bowl to me as soon as you like this week!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Love and Hugzz to You and Mr Fox xx

Hi Kevin, your table looks gorgeous! I’m going to give the soup and cranberries a try for sure. I try not to eat meat very often, but those ribs looked like I need to try them. My mother used to make ribs quite frequently and it would be a nice way to bring back memories of my good, mother. I need to mention that I tried your blueberry smoothie and it was wonderful. I only used to use strawberries, but I prefer blueberries now. I’ve never eaten as much salad as I have lately, since I tried your red wine vinegar soaked, apples on top. It’s absolutely delicious. I add a little bit of sugar to cut the sharpness of the vinegar and even get seconds. I appreciate all of your easy, thoughtful and delicious recipes. I’m so glad that I found you. Hugs, Julie 🥰

As so many often say of your vids, they’re just so enjoyable for their calm, happy attitude with wonderful recipes. And your use of household items like big bowls for flower arrangements is just brilliant. I’ll share a little hint about using tongs to remove hot ramekins from water baths: wrap each side of your tongs with a rubber band. That way you have a really good grip on the bowls or cups and are less likely to have them slip. This is a wonderful winter meal! Thanks!

I am doing a rehearsal of your cranberry sauce tonight! And I’m so excited! I think it’s going to be like one I’ve been searching for a long time. We had a killer cranberry sauce at a restaurant the only time we have ever eaten out for Thanksgiving dinner! The cranberry sauce slayed me and I’ve been trying to recreate it ever since. Wish me luck! I wanted to share one of my favorite tips: I’ll put the cranberry sauce in ice cube trays. After they are frozen I can dump them all into a plastic bag to keep in the freezer. Then when anybody makes a turkey sandwich (or really almost any kind of sandwich with meat) we can pull out one of these cranberry sauce cubes. They thaw quickly and are the perfect amount to spread on a sandwich. Instant elevation! Love you, Kevin! 🤎
