The award-winning hotel also hosts Kevin's cookery school.

In 2008 Kevin put his name to MGM Grand's new restaurant venture Raglan Road in downtown Disney, Orlando, establishing a fanbase in the USA. The following year saw Great Family Food hit the bookshops, followed by Recipes That Work in 2010.
