Celebration to the New Year: A New Year's Eve Spread.
When it involves throwing celebrations, guests tend to split into a pair of very distinct camps: the ones that enjoy doing it, and those who would choose to do practically something else. Being organized early is key, and choosing a few delicious dishes to start the proceedings will delight your visitors while you aim to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spiced nibbles are a ideal match for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails detailed next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delicious celebration first course that can easily be adapted to offer with a sweet topping for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These beverages are a refreshing option to alcohol, but also create a delicious base for a tequila-based beverage.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Homemade gin for a special celebration drink, perfect for giving as a present or pouring at parties.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Bask in the praise of this show-stopping spread – your guests will ever guess how modest work was needed.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this rich finale, pockets of aromatic cranberry sauce are nestled into a chocolaty frangipane for a flavor pairing that uses any extra of holiday fruit to delicious effect.
