Final Hours to the New Year: A Holiday Menu.
When it is about throwing parties, guests tend to divide into a pair of rather distinct groups: the ones that enjoy the process, and the ones that would prefer to do almost another thing. Being prepared early is key, and selecting a few tasty recipes to start the evening will entertain your guests while you try to keep the show on the road.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These tangy, flavorful snacks make for a ideal match for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A delectable festive first course that can easily be altered to offer with a fruity spread for the kids.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These beverages are a zesty option to alcohol, but additionally serve as a wonderful base for a tequila-based drink.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Home-infused spirit for a special celebration cocktail, great for gifting or offering at events.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Enjoy the praise of this show-stopping centerpiece – no one will possibly suspect how modest preparation was needed.
