The final countdown is here - well, for this year at least. With only days to go until we welcome 2025 into the fold (now doesn’t that sound futuristic?), plans are afoot of what to wear , what to drink , where to go and, perhaps most crucially of all, what to eat. Once Christmas is over and you’ve coasted through the weird inter-festive period that is Betwixtmas, it’s thoughts of New Year’s Eve that will start to stir in our minds.
We’ve been through enough New Year’s to know that staying in is almost always the superior option. It’s warm, you’ll like everyone else there and you can do it in your PJs if you like. You can also enjoy a slap-up restaurant quality meal without fighting to the death for a table booking by ordering a recipe kit instead.
A hangover from pandemic recipe kits, we’ve come to see them as a New Year’s Eve staple. Prepped and often cooked to within moments of being finished, there’s just enough effort involved to make you feel smug about your achievements, but crucially, not enough skill needed to risk cocking it up. Typically packed with special treats, fresh ingredients and a bottle of Champagne for good measure, these luxury recipe boxes from the best restaurants and companies around will help you ring in 2025 in style.
Send out the invites to your favourite people and consider the countdown on..
