New Year's Eve menus....

[Bill]

So, who's planning what? I'm still struggling to work out exactly what's going on over Christmas so I could do with some inspiration.

Rib of wagyu beef arrived today for New Years Eve. Looks fantastic

[remedy]

Last year I had an eastern flavour 'buffet' session for about 20 people - Thai green curry, chinese chicken and cashews, indian curry and all the sundries and everyone else chipped in with finger foods.
I had a cracking day cooking all that up and it went down a treat.

Right, Christmas is looking more organised....

Rib of beef is tempting (very tempting) but not desperately special (Wagyu notwithstanding) and I've done beef Wellington for the guests before.

SWMBO has put in a request for monkfish wrapped in parma ham (a Jamie Oliver recipe IIRC).

OP - Done those for NYE in the past - I think the key is do something that you can prepare before and finish/cook easily.

We're having confit belly pork - I think its possibly the richest dish I have ever eaten at home (and its cheap too which is good as I have no cash).

It's NYE!
Haggis, neeps and tatties.

Copious quantities of ale and a fine scotch.

We've got 7 people coming round on NYE and a small house so I wanted something non-heavy (given everyone stuffs themselves over Christmas), and easy. Going to cook Malaysian chicken curry (i.e. do in one pot + a couple of pans of rice), and ginger chocolate cheesecake for pud (can be made in advance) + Christmas cake...

And lots of booze

However I only have 6 plates so someone's eating out of a bowl !!

Turkey and a ham for Christmas.

Beef for Hogmany. I've got a 6-rib hanging in my local butchers as we speak...

Well, it's just us for NYE, having no idea what the day was today we hastily decided to nip into Bookers for a stress free shop (can you imagine Sainsburys today?)
So we are having
Fillet steak- quite a large one
Homemade chips- had some goose fat left, no idea if they cook well in it?
Garlic mushrooms
Brussel sprouts, leftover from december
followed by Creme brulee if it sets in time...

[Bill]

Bleurgh.
