Can’t wait to get out of my office to start the celebrations. New Year’s Eve is definitely the worst clusterf*ck night of the year in NYC, so I’m laying low with my friends. On the menu for tonight, various cheeses and bellota pata negra ham. Followed by handmade chicken liver and ricotta ravioli, as well as goat cheese and mascarpone ravioli with scallions and toasted pignoli, topped with a roasted black olive butter sauce. For dessert, a fresh cantaloupe sherbet, and assorted chocolate dipped cookies I made last night.
