Southern DE Chefs Share New Year’s Day Brunch Recipes
On New Year’s Eve, most people celebrate the passing of another year by partying with friends at your favorite restaurant or bar; or attending a blowout bash at the beach… but the morning after it all is all about comfort and the food.
Inviting everyone over for New Year’s Day requires some menu planning. Kick off your new year with the festive flavors of this fancy brunch menu that includes a fresh Citrus Juice and Bloody Mary Bar (served with or without alcohol) and your first 2014 Signature cocktail, too. Hangovers are to be expected, so scrumptious spreads, decadent breads and crispy morsels are a must! So read on, our favorite chefs have shared some great recipes to start off the New Year.
