Final Hours to the New Year: A Holiday Menu.
When it is about throwing celebrations, guests often separate into two rather different groups: those who adore doing it, and those who would choose to do almost something else. Being prepared in advance is key, and choosing a few tasty dishes to kick off the festivities will amuse your visitors while you try to hold everything together.

These citrusy, spiced snacks are a ideal pairing for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails listed below.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A scrumptious holiday first course that can readily be modified to serve with a fruity spread for younger guests.
