🍷 Entertaining

Reveillon on 24 December runs from mid-evening past midnight, with courses spaced deliberately. The length is the tradition, more than any specific dish on the table.

Plan your December meal by hours rather than by dishes. Decide when you want to be at dessert and work backwards. Four hours is normal.
