Countdown to 2026: A Holiday Feast.
When it comes to hosting celebrations, guests often divide into two quite separate groups: the ones that enjoy it, and the ones that would choose to do practically another thing. Staying organized in advance is essential, and selecting a few delicious dishes to begin the evening will amuse your guests while you aim to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These zesty, spicy bites are a ideal companion for the refreshing pink grapefruit mocktails detailed further down.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delicious holiday appetizer that can easily be modified to present with a sweet garnish for younger guests.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These drinks are a zesty alternative to booze, but also serve as a tasty base for a gin-based drink.

Handcrafted spirit for a particularly festive festive drink, great for giving as a present or offering at gatherings.
Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onion Salad
Bask in the praise of this impressive centerpiece – no one will possibly guess how little preparation was required.
