Celebration to the New Year: The Holiday Menu.
When it involves throwing parties, guests usually divide into a pair of very separate groups: the ones that enjoy the process, and those who would prefer to do virtually another thing. Getting ready ahead of time is crucial, and finding a few delicious dishes to kick off the proceedings will amuse your visitors while you try to keep the show on the road.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spicy snacks make for a perfect pairing for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails featured further down.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A scrumptious festive first course that can readily be altered to serve with a sweet spread for children.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These drinks are a zesty substitute to alcohol, but furthermore make a tasty ingredient for a gin-based drink.

Home-infused gin for a particularly festive festive drink, ideal for gifting or pouring at parties.
