Celebration to the Next Year: A Holiday Menu.
When it is about hosting parties, guests usually split into a couple of quite different groups: the ones that enjoy the process, and the ones that would prefer to do virtually something else. Being ready in advance is crucial, and choosing a few scrumptious dishes to start the proceedings will delight your visitors while you aim to keep the show on the road.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These tangy, spiced snacks make for a excellent pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails detailed next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious festive appetizer that can readily be adapted to present with a fruity spread for younger guests.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a refreshing option to spirits, but also make a tasty mixer for a tequila-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Homemade gin for a particularly festive celebration cocktail, perfect for sharing or offering at gatherings.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Bask in the praise of this impressive feast – no one will for a moment guess how little preparation was needed.
Spiced Cranberry and Chocolate Tart
In this decadent finale, pockets of warmly spiced cranberry compote are nestled into a dark chocolate frangipane for a combination that makes any extra of holiday fruit to good purpose.
