How do you celebrate the new year’s arrival? I find that people’s approaches to New Year’s Eve varies more than many other holidays, falling on a spectrum of a sparkly spectacle to simple and serene.

That can make it difficult to create one standardized menu, so naturally we went ahead and made three. Whether you’re going all out on the festivities, looking for ways to secure an auspicious start to the year or just staying in, we have ideas about how to make your New Year’s Eve meal one to remember.

Glamour. Opulence. Excess. These are all words I associate with New Year’s Eve. For those who are looking for a night straight out of “The Great Gatsby,” these luxe dishes are sure to start a party off on a high note.

Gruyere and Onion Cocktail Biscuits. These little nibbles are reminiscent of gougeres, and they’re full of flavor thanks to nutty Gruyère, salty anchovies and sweet, slow-cooked onions. They pair wonderfully with sparkling wine or your favorite cocktail. Get the recipe.

Duck Confit. This is one of those dishes that looks and tastes very impressive, but is much easier to execute than one would assume. It requires 15 minutes of active cooking time, but the rest of the magic happens in the oven. If you’re looking for a speedier option that’s still fancy, try these Scallops With Shallot Citrus Sauce. Get the recipe.

Gnocchi With Chili Crisp Sauce, Capers and Parmesan. More is more is more with this umami-rich side or vegetarian main. Get the recipe.

No-Churn Saffron and Pistachio Ice Cream. Few ingredients scream luxury more than saffron, an aromatic, brightly hued spice that adds lovely complexity to this no-churn ice cream. Get the recipe.

Champagne Cocktail With Citrus Cordial. Ring in the new year with festive fizz. This cocktail takes champagne, the quintessential celebratory tipple, and livens it up even more with a vibrant citrus cordial. Get the recipe.
