Countdown to the New Year: The Holiday Menu.
When it comes to hosting gatherings, people usually split into a couple of very separate groups: people that love the process, and people that would rather to do almost another thing. Staying organized ahead of time is essential, and choosing a few tasty creations to start the evening will amuse your guests while you work to manage everything.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These tangy, spiced snacks are a ideal companion for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails featured next.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delectable celebration appetizer that can conveniently be adapted to present with a fruity spread for children.
Cardamom-Lime Grapefruit Mocktails
These beverages are a invigorating option to booze, but furthermore make a wonderful ingredient for a tequila-based drink.
