Countdown to the Next Year: A New Year's Eve Menu.
When it is about hosting parties, guests tend to divide into a couple of rather different camps: the ones that adore it, and the ones that would choose to do almost another thing. Being organized early is essential, and choosing a few delicious recipes to kick off the festivities will entertain your attendees while you work to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spiced bites make for a perfect companion for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails listed next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delicious holiday starter that can readily be adapted to serve with a different topping for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a invigorating option to spirits, but furthermore create a wonderful ingredient for a gin-based cocktail.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Home-infused gin for a special holiday martini, ideal for sharing or serving at gatherings.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Enjoy the admiration of this show-stopping feast – no one will for a moment realize how modest work was needed.
Festive Chocolate Cranberry Tart
In this rich finale, swirls of spiced cranberry jam are baked into a dark chocolate frangipane for a duo that puts any surfeit of berries to excellent purpose.
