Recipe: Vadouvan-Spiced Deviled Eggs
James Beard himself wrote that no matter what you serve at a cocktail party, stuffed eggs disappear more rapidly than anything else. (He also advised to boil one or two extra eggs, because “the temperamental hen sometimes upsets your plans with a misplaced yolk.”) This New Year's Eve, we're making loads of Beard's curried deviled eggs, but with a sophisticated substitute: vadouvan, a masala-like, French–Indian spice. Get the recipe here.
On the Menu: December 26 through January 1
Here’s what’s happening at the Beard House next week:

Recipe: Blini with Caviar
Consider this classic, decadent hors d'oeuvre for your New Year's Eve party. From the pages of James Beard's New Fish Cookery, the blini are a cinch to prepare, and the gleaming caviar provides the perfect celebratory note. A clean Champagne or vodka helps it all go down.
Eat-Q: New Year's Traditions
Bubbly, oysters, caviar: these are the old standbys we love to eat as the clock ticks down to midnight. But what about revelers in other countries and time zones? We put together a little quiz to test how much you know about New Year's Eve food customs in other cultures. Give it a shot here.
