Celebration to the New Year: A Festive Feast.
When it involves organizing gatherings, guests usually split into two rather separate groups: those who adore the process, and those who would prefer to do almost anything else. Getting organized in advance is essential, and choosing a few tasty creations to kick off the festivities will entertain your visitors while you work to manage everything.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These tangy, spicy snacks prove to be a ideal pairing for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A delectable festive first course that can easily be adapted to offer with a fruity topping for younger guests.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a zesty substitute to alcohol, but also make a delicious mixer for a gin-based cocktail.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Handcrafted spirit for a particularly festive holiday drink, great for giving as a present or offering at parties.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Revel in the admiration of this impressive spread – no one will for a moment suspect how minimal preparation was required.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this decadent finale, pockets of aromatic cranberry compote are baked into a dark chocolate frangipane for a duo that uses any surfeit of cranberries to good effect.
