New Year's Eve
With Style And Ease

ILENE SPECTOR SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

ntertaining at home for
New Year's Eve becomes
easier every year. Remem-
ber good food never has to
be fancy. It's much more impor-
tant to welcome friends and
family with a relaxed attitude.
My daughter has a vegetarian
New Year's celebration and each
person is assigned a different
vegetable to use in a dish. Not
everything needs to be home-
made.
I recently attended a gather-
ing where a deli sandwich tray
was the main course. The host-
ess was creative in ordering. The
open-face sandwiches were all
mixed — turkey with chopped liv-
er, corned beef with salami, and
roast beef with pastrami. The col-
orful combinations were surpris-
ingly delicious. The sandwiches
were served with a wonderful
cheese-less Caesar salad using
store-bought cut-up salad greens
complemented by homemade
dressing.
Another friend invited guests
for a make-your-own-pizza Sun-
day night dinner. She had the
shells (bought from a quality
pizza restaurant) lined up along
with a variety of sauces and top-
pings. Again a beautiful salad
with homemade dressing and
croutons made a great meal. Her
dessert was made in advance —
individual cups
out of filo dough 9,
baked in large
muffin tins. She
served them
with assorted ice
cream and yogurt topped with a
delicious hot chocolate sauce.
If you're organizing a cocktail
party, suggest a recipe for each
couple to bring.
There are even some drinks
that can be made ahead and suc-
cessfully frozen. I've used the
Orange Blossoms below often. By
the way, if you're wondering how
much wine to buy: Figure two to
three glasses per person for a
stand-up party, three to four for
a sit-down dinner.
So whether you are the host or
guest, here are some recipes that
will help ring in 1995 in a deli-
cious way.
