For the last few years our holiday cocktail party has turned into a tradition. It’s not too many guests - our place is small - mostly neighbors. Inevitably each year I go through the same thought process which is mostly ‘what will I serve?’ And inevitably after searching and thinking I usually land on the same thing year after year.

This year I’ve decided to share the party plan with you. Partly because then I’ll have it for myself all in one place next year. But also because you may be going through the same thing?

So here follows a video of a party from a few years ago, along with the list of things I’ve served/will be serving.
