Final Hours to the Next Year: A New Year's Eve Menu.
When it is about throwing celebrations, guests tend to separate into a couple of quite separate camps: people that enjoy it, and those who would choose to do almost another thing. Getting organized ahead of time is crucial, and selecting a few tasty recipes to start the festivities will entertain your guests while you work to hold everything together.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These citrusy, spicy snacks are a perfect pairing for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious celebration appetizer that can readily be modified to serve with a different garnish for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These beverages are a zesty alternative to alcohol, but also make a wonderful ingredient for a tequila-based cocktail.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Homemade gin for a particularly festive festive cocktail, perfect for sharing or offering at gatherings.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Revel in the glory of this impressive centerpiece – everyone will possibly guess how little work was needed.
Spiced Cranberry and Chocolate Tart
In this rich finale, pockets of warmly spiced cranberry sauce are nestled into a dark chocolate frangipane for a combination that puts any surfeit of cranberries to excellent use.
