Kevin's Kitchen

The highly-anticipated first cookbook from internationally-known food, garden, and lifestyle blogger Kevin Lee Jacobs. Kevin's writing is both witty and wise, and his recipes, which rely on simple ingredients, are elegant yet easy to prepare. The book covers Breakfast and Brunch, Afternoon Tea, Make-Ahead Cocktail Appetizers, First-Course Soups, Main Courses, and Desserts.

Kevin Lee Jacobs, creator of the popular food and lifestyle blog "A Garden for the House," has now created his first cookbook, Kevin's Kitchen.  In the humorous, conversational voice that attracts millions of visitors to his blog, Kevin shows us how he takes simple, easily-found ingredients, and transforms them into mouthwatering masterpieces. Nearly all of his recipes (Creamy Gratin of Hard-Cooked Eggs, Thyme and Wine Beef Stew, and etc.)  can be made in advance -- a real bonus for busy cooks. Grow your own vegetables? You'll want to make Kevin's Roasted Radish Crostini, Bell Pepper Soup, Quinoa Stuffing with Leeks and Sage, and other garden-inspired recipes included in the book. As an added perk, all of the photographs in the book were taken by Kevin, giving the cookbook a personal touch that fans of good food, good gardens, and gracious living will appreciate.
