New Year's Eve is always a chef’s challenge. Plan ahead and create a special New Year's Eve dinner or entertain numerousness hungry guests with a diversified New Year's Eve buffet and finger food. No matter what - for a successful preparation the key questions are: how many guests and which location or scope.
Since Christmas is mainly about classic recipes, New Year's Eve asks for creative ideas and chefs regarding food. Serve a themed menu or finger food e.g. "Spices of Orient". Spread good mood and surprise your guests with oriental deliciousness. For example, try our Fattoush salad.
