When it comes to hosting celebrations, people often divide into two rather separate groups: people that enjoy it, and people that would rather to do practically anything else. Being ready in advance is essential, and choosing a few tasty creations to kick off the evening will entertain your visitors while you try to manage everything.
Spicy Almonds with Fennel, Lemon & Paprika
These tangy, spiced bites make for a perfect pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails listed next.
Buckwheat Blinis with Ricotta and Salmon
A delicious holiday first course that can readily be adapted to present with a fruity garnish for children.
Pink Grapefruit, Cardamom and Lime Mocktails
These drinks are a invigorating substitute to spirits, but furthermore make a delicious mixer for a tequila-based cocktail.
Juniper and Lemon Martinis
Handcrafted gin for a particularly festive celebration martini, ideal for giving as a present or serving at events.
Tender Lamb with a Zingy Sumac and Onion Salad
Bask in the praise of this impressive spread – no one will possibly suspect how modest work was involved.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this decadent finale, puddles of spiced cranberry sauce are nestled into a dark chocolate base for a combination that puts any abundance of berries to good purpose.
