Countdown to the New Year: A New Year's Eve Feast.
When it involves hosting celebrations, guests usually divide into a pair of quite different categories: those who adore doing it, and people that would prefer to do practically anything else. Being ready early is essential, and selecting a few scrumptious creations to kick off the proceedings will delight your guests while you work to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spicy bites make for a perfect companion for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious festive starter that can readily be modified to offer with a sweet topping for children.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These beverages are a invigorating substitute to alcohol, but also serve as a delicious base for a tequila-based beverage.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Home-infused gin for a particularly festive festive martini, great for giving as a present or offering at parties.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Enjoy the praise of this stunning feast – no one will for a moment suspect how little work was involved.
Festive Chocolate Cranberry Tart
In this decadent dessert, swirls of spiced cranberry sauce are baked into a chocolate frangipane for a duo that makes any surfeit of holiday fruit to delicious purpose.
