Countdown to the New Year: Your New Year's Eve Menu.
When it involves throwing parties, guests often divide into a pair of quite separate groups: those who adore the process, and people that would choose to do practically anything else. Getting ready early is key, and choosing a few scrumptious dishes to kick off the proceedings will delight your attendees while you aim to keep the show on the road.
Citrusy Smoked Paprika Almonds with Fennel
These citrusy, spicy snacks are a ideal pairing for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails featured below.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious celebration first course that can conveniently be adapted to serve with a different garnish for children.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These drinks are a zesty substitute to spirits, but furthermore create a tasty ingredient for a tequila-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Homemade gin for a unique celebration drink, ideal for giving as a present or serving at gatherings.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Bask in the praise of this show-stopping centerpiece – no one will ever suspect how little effort was involved.
