Countdown to the New Year: A Holiday Spread.
When it involves throwing celebrations, guests tend to separate into a pair of rather separate groups: people that enjoy the process, and the ones that would choose to do almost something else. Being ready in advance is key, and choosing a few scrumptious creations to start the festivities will delight your attendees while you aim to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These zesty, spicy snacks prove to be a excellent match for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails listed further down.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delicious celebration first course that can readily be adapted to offer with a different spread for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a zesty substitute to booze, but furthermore serve as a delicious mixer for a tequila-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Handcrafted spirit for a special celebration drink, ideal for gifting or offering at events.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Enjoy the admiration of this stunning spread – no one will ever suspect how modest preparation was required.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this rich finale, swirls of spiced cranberry sauce are cooked into a dark chocolate base for a flavor pairing that makes any surfeit of holiday fruit to good purpose.
