OK… So New Year’s eve always have to be fancy.. More champagne, fire power, cooler suits, bigger cigars and more food than last year… Actually, I kind of hate New Year’s Eve. People always have super crazy expectations and it never really turns out to be as crazy and awesome as everybody wished for. I always find myself drunk off my ass, running around in an unknown capital city, surrounded by an inferno of fireworks and booze, with frozen feet and a bottle of champagne (which is no longer fizzy) and a cigar, which I don’t really like anyways. Therefore I decided to do everything a bit different this new year. I celebrated the evening with a few very close friends and proposed that I would come up with a six course menu, which would be New Year’s eve worthy. I will not yet give any recipes, but will let you all see the pictures of the courses. Coming Thursday I will be on Danish TV cooking, and will show how to cook the first course. I might upload the recipe afterwards.
Enjoy the pictures and please comment!
