Celebration to the New Year: The Holiday Menu.
When it comes to throwing celebrations, guests often split into a couple of rather distinct camps: those who love it, and those who would rather to do almost another thing. Being prepared early is key, and selecting a few tasty creations to begin the proceedings will entertain your attendees while you aim to manage everything.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These zesty, spicy snacks make for a ideal match for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A delicious celebration appetizer that can conveniently be adapted to serve with a sweet garnish for children.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These drinks are a zesty substitute to booze, but also make a tasty mixer for a gin-based drink.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Homemade spirit for a special festive martini, great for giving as a present or offering at parties.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Revel in the praise of this impressive centerpiece – no one will for a moment realize how little work was needed.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this decadent dessert, swirls of aromatic cranberry sauce are cooked into a dark chocolate frangipane for a combination that uses any abundance of holiday fruit to good purpose.
