I have spent the whole day today in the kitchen preparing for tomorrow’s new years eve party. My best friend Emma and her husband Claes are hosting and I’m doing the catering. I’ve had so much fun cooking away today that I thought I would share the fabulous menu with you. Recipes will follow in the next week or so.
