New Year’s Eve – the last day of the year, time to celebrate and ring in the New Year!

New Year’s Eve, with its emphasis on romance and indulgence, might seem like a totally secular celebration. But underneath all that glitter and sparkle is an ancient holiday with deep spiritual roots. For centuries, and in similar ways, people have been observing the end of one year and the beginning of another.

However you choose to celebrate – here are some ideas to make it memorable . . . the Menu ideas feature indulgent plated courses, that can also be served buffet style along with several unique options for receptions, and of course desserts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
