Celebration to the Next Year: A Holiday Menu.
When it involves throwing gatherings, guests often separate into two quite different categories: people that love doing it, and the ones that would choose to do virtually another thing. Getting ready ahead of time is key, and selecting a few scrumptious creations to kick off the evening will amuse your visitors while you try to hold everything together.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These citrusy, spicy bites make for a excellent match for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious festive starter that can conveniently be adapted to present with a fruity topping for the kids.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These beverages are a zesty alternative to spirits, but also create a tasty base for a gin-based beverage.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Homemade gin for a unique festive drink, great for gifting or offering at events.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Bask in the glory of this impressive feast – no one will for a moment suspect how minimal effort was required.
Spiced Cranberry and Chocolate Tart
In this indulgent sweet treat, swirls of warmly spiced cranberry compote are baked into a chocolate frangipane for a duo that makes any surfeit of holiday fruit to good purpose.
