Countdown to the New Year: A Festive Menu.
When it is about throwing parties, guests usually divide into two rather separate camps: those who enjoy it, and the ones that would choose to do almost another thing. Being organized in advance is key, and finding a few delicious creations to start the evening will entertain your attendees while you work to keep the show on the road.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These tangy, spiced snacks prove to be a ideal pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious holiday first course that can readily be altered to serve with a different garnish for children.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These beverages are a invigorating option to booze, but furthermore create a delicious ingredient for a tequila-based beverage.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Homemade gin for a special holiday martini, ideal for sharing or offering at events.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Revel in the glory of this show-stopping spread – no one will for a moment suspect how little preparation was involved.
