Celebration to the New Year: A New Year's Eve Spread.
When it comes to organizing gatherings, guests usually divide into a couple of rather different categories: those who enjoy the process, and people that would prefer to do practically something else. Getting ready early is essential, and finding a few tasty dishes to kick off the festivities will delight your attendees while you aim to manage everything.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These zesty, spicy snacks are a excellent match for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious festive appetizer that can easily be altered to present with a sweet garnish for the kids.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These beverages are a zesty option to booze, but also serve as a wonderful ingredient for a gin-based beverage.
