Celebration to the Next Year: The Holiday Menu.
When it comes to hosting gatherings, guests tend to separate into a couple of very different camps: those who love it, and people that would choose to do practically anything else. Being organized early is essential, and choosing a few tasty recipes to kick off the evening will entertain your attendees while you work to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spicy snacks prove to be a excellent companion for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A delicious holiday first course that can easily be altered to serve with a different garnish for the kids.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These concoctions are a zesty substitute to booze, but also create a tasty mixer for a tequila-based drink.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Homemade gin for a special festive drink, ideal for gifting or offering at parties.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Bask in the glory of this impressive feast – everyone will possibly guess how modest effort was involved.
Spiced Cranberry and Chocolate Tart
In this indulgent sweet treat, pockets of aromatic cranberry compote are nestled into a chocolate frangipane for a combination that uses any extra of holiday fruit to excellent use.
