FROM OUR KITCHEN
"For NYE dishes, these are little flavour bombs to get the party started. The green chilli, coriander and lime vinaigrette are a little different but go so well with oysters and a glass of bubbles! The taramasalata or fancy fish dip is something a little different again, but a great way to start the evening with some grilled bread or chips on the side. Kingfish crudo I have been making for years is a light, but fresh little canapé again great with a glass of champagne." - Chef Kim Brennan

Beverage Pairing
FOR BEVERAGE PAIRING, SOPHIE FROM THE WINE MERCHANT HAS SUGGESTED THE FOLLOWING:
“Has to be Champagne. Probably a Blanc de Blancs. The Laherte Freres BdB is delicious and has a very pretty label! It’s zero dosage so it’s crisp and dry with loads of mineral character.”
Linen Tablecloth and Napkins Amara Stitch in Forest Green, Flou. All other props stylists own.
