New Year’s Eve ideas

[Ahna65]

Hello all

Hosting dinner for 4 on NYE and hoping for some inspiration! Probably a main and dessert with just posh nibbles to start. We like cooking but have small kids so won’t have totally hands free time to prepare - so anything that can just sit on the hob is a bonus! No dietary requirements.

for dessert I was thinking maybe panettone bread and butter pudding which is a failsafe for me this time of year, but maybe it’s a bit stodgy if we are planning to stay awake for midnight (in itself a challenge :-) )

thanks in advance!

similar idea to PP I have been eyeing up this prawn lasagne for a while as I have heard rave reviews. I love Ixta for entertaining as I find her food indulgent and interesting, but still accessible both in preparation and flavour profiles.

Oo thanks lovely ideas!! Love the twist on lasagne which we make a lot. Hadnt come across Ixta belfrage but wow loads of her stuff looks yum! Wondering if habenero chilli is hard to get but could just do flakes.

and @Forgottenmyphone you’ve reminded that good housekeeping has a ton of good recipes!

@SummaLuvin thanks again for the tip - went with the Ixta Belfrage prawn lasagne and it was so so good!! I'm now eye-ing up her book.

glad it worked for you. I have her book and I love it! sadly there aren't many recipes from it available online
