Final Hours to the Next Year: Your Holiday Menu.
When it is about organizing gatherings, guests often split into two rather different categories: the ones that love doing it, and the ones that would rather to do virtually something else. Being organized early is crucial, and selecting a few scrumptious dishes to kick off the evening will entertain your attendees while you work to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These tangy, flavorful snacks are a perfect pairing for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails featured further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious holiday appetizer that can easily be adapted to serve with a sweet topping for the kids.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These concoctions are a invigorating substitute to spirits, but furthermore make a wonderful base for a gin-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Homemade spirit for a particularly festive celebration martini, great for sharing or offering at events.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Revel in the glory of this show-stopping spread – your guests will for a moment realize how little work was needed.
