Countdown to the New Year: A New Year's Eve Feast.
When it involves throwing gatherings, people often separate into a couple of rather separate categories: those who love doing it, and those who would prefer to do practically something else. Getting ready in advance is key, and selecting a few scrumptious creations to start the proceedings will amuse your visitors while you work to keep the show on the road.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These citrusy, spiced nibbles make for a excellent match for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails listed further down.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious celebration appetizer that can readily be modified to present with a different garnish for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a invigorating option to booze, but furthermore make a tasty ingredient for a tequila-based beverage.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Homemade spirit for a unique festive cocktail, ideal for giving as a present or pouring at events.
