Elegant New Year's Eve Menu

Gravlax, porchetta, chocolate cake, and beyond: recipes for the ultimate spread of hors d'oeuvres, dips, snacks, and sweets to keep your guests in quality food and drink on both sides of the midnight hour.

Crown Roast Rack of Lamb

Tender, juicy meat; a bright, herbal sauce; and a flavor-packed couscous stuffing, all in one stunning package.

Gravlax With Caraway, Coriander, and Mustard-Dill Sauce

Luxury without a high price tag. For the cost of a fresh piece of salmon, you can cure your own gravlax at home, then slice it and serve it as one of the most elegant hors d'oeuvres or light appetizers imaginable.

Black Olive Tapenade

Black olives, capers, anchovies, fresh herbs, and garlic make a much more vibrant tapenade than what you can buy pre-made at the store.

Beet and Citrus Salad With Pine Nut Vinaigrette

This salad combines in-season grapefruit and orange with intensely sweet roasted beets and a bit of arugula for a peppery kick.

Glazed Pearl Onions

These teeny onions are sweet and tender in a glossy, flavorful glaze.

Creamed Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Gratin

This over-the-top casserole, packed with bacon and Brussels sprouts, can be prepped up to five days before your party.

Ultra-Crispy Roast Potatoes

Parboiling your potatoes, then tossing them roughly in a bowl with a metal spoon, increases their surface area for an extra-crunchy exterior.

Chocolate Cherry Layer Cake

If you love chocolate-covered cherries, this festive layer cake is just for you. With tart cherry juice in the batter and freeze-dried cherries in the whipped cream frosting, it's a bright and fruity twist on an otherwise classic chocolate cake.
