I usually like to throw my own small gathering on New Year’s Eve. It’s so much fun and cost effective to put together some small plates of food and drink for family and friends, and bring in the New Year at home. Delicious dips, finger-food appetizers and a decadent treat are the most impressive, yet simple things that make a party pleasurable.
- A warm cheese dish like this baked feta with sweet and tangy tomatoes and olives is perfect with a good glass of bubbly.
