Final Hours to the Next Year: The New Year's Eve Menu.
When it is about throwing gatherings, guests usually separate into a couple of very distinct groups: the ones that enjoy it, and the ones that would prefer to do almost something else. Getting organized in advance is key, and selecting a few scrumptious dishes to start the festivities will entertain your guests while you try to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These tangy, spicy snacks make for a excellent pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured below.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious celebration first course that can readily be altered to offer with a different garnish for children.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These drinks are a refreshing substitute to booze, but also make a wonderful base for a gin-based drink.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Home-infused spirit for a special holiday cocktail, perfect for gifting or pouring at events.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Enjoy the admiration of this show-stopping feast – your guests will for a moment suspect how modest preparation was needed.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this rich dessert, swirls of spiced cranberry sauce are cooked into a dark chocolate frangipane for a flavor pairing that makes any abundance of holiday fruit to good purpose.
