Celebration to the New Year: The Holiday Menu.
When it is about hosting parties, people often separate into a pair of quite different categories: the ones that love it, and those who would prefer to do almost something else. Getting organized ahead of time is crucial, and selecting a few tasty dishes to kick off the festivities will delight your guests while you try to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spicy bites prove to be a perfect match for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A delicious celebration appetizer that can readily be adapted to serve with a sweet garnish for younger guests.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These drinks are a invigorating alternative to spirits, but also create a wonderful base for a tequila-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Home-infused gin for a special celebration drink, great for sharing or serving at events.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Enjoy the praise of this impressive centerpiece – your guests will ever guess how modest effort was involved.
