Countdown to the New Year: The Festive Spread.
When it involves organizing parties, people tend to separate into a couple of rather separate categories: the ones that adore doing it, and those who would choose to do practically another thing. Being ready in advance is key, and choosing a few tasty dishes to kick off the festivities will entertain your guests while you work to manage everything.
Citrusy Smoked Paprika Almonds with Fennel
These tangy, spiced nibbles prove to be a perfect pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A scrumptious celebration starter that can easily be adapted to present with a different spread for the kids.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These concoctions are a refreshing alternative to booze, but furthermore create a delicious ingredient for a gin-based drink.
Festive Martinis with Juniper & Lemon
Homemade gin for a particularly festive holiday cocktail, great for gifting or offering at gatherings.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Bask in the praise of this stunning spread – your guests will ever suspect how little preparation was involved.

In this decadent dessert, pockets of spiced cranberry sauce are cooked into a chocolaty filling for a duo that uses any abundance of holiday fruit to excellent purpose.
