Making a festive New Year’s menu is not an easy task, sometimes even for an experienced cook. So many delicious salads, unusual snacks, impressive desserts and spectacular hot dishes! It seems that it is simply impossible to cook them all. But it’s worth trying, the main thing is to approach the issue thoroughly!
In almost all families, a lot of attention is paid to the preparation of festive dishes for the New Year and Christmas feast. Chefs want to show all their skills and serve the best treats to the festive table.
Recipes for the New Year and Christmas table differ from each other. By the New Year’s Eve, you need to flaunt all your culinary talents and surprise guests with fancy and incredibly delicious treats. Aspic with beautifully carved vegetables, French-style meat, homemade pates, delicious snacks of vegetables, meat and fish, salads with products that seem completely incongruous at first glance – preparing a New Year’s table is a great opportunity to show imagination in the culinary field.
It is customary to prepare lean dishes and lemonades for the supper on Christmas Eve. Vegetable broth, buckwheat porridge with mushrooms, cabbage pies, fish dishes, stuffed cabbage rolls with rice filling and many other goodies can be created in any cook’s own kitchen. Be sure to give your household a traditional lemonade (compote made from a mixture of dried fruits and berries) according to old recipes.
How to Make a Homemade New Year’s Menu?
According to experienced chefs, there will be enough for 6-7 guests: 1-2 hot dishes, side dishes, 3-4 types of salads, several types of snacks, hot and cold, dessert and fruit. This average menu can be varied depending on the circumstances, for example, if there are children among the guests.
One of the secrets of a successful New Year’s menu is to cook several new dishes every year. At the same time, you should decide what you would like to make the main bet on: someone prefers to invest time and effort in preparing a complex hot dish, and someone – in a variety of snacks. If, instead of traditional olives and caviar sandwiches, you offer your guests glazed duck with grapes on skewers, your guests will remember for a long time how refined and unusual your festive treat was.
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with having only traditional dishes on the New Year’s menu, without frills.

The New Year holidays are about to come and of course I want to cook something delicious. Julienne is a creamy mushroom dish, very tasty, and it can be served not only in cocots, buns, but also in profiteroles. It turns out very festive and unusual.
Julienne, familiar to us, looks very original with baked vegetables. In addition, with vegetables, this dish becomes more useful. If you can’t find round zucchini, take ordinary, oblong ones, cut into five-centimeter cubes, remove the pulp and fill with cylinders for julienne. This dish looks spectacular on the New Year’s table.
A delicious fish dish. It is prepared simply and quickly and is the most important of the available products. I often cook this dish for a festive table. And a glass of white wine with this Julien will reveal his taste even more. All my guests are delighted.
Once I tried julienne of white bread in a restaurant. I liked the recipe because the filling inside turns out juicy, and the bread becomes crispy when baking. I decided to try to cook this dish at home. What I want to say is that the result exceeded my expectations. I share this recipe with you and invite you to try this interesting dish!

Julien takes pride of place on any festive table, but what to do when there is no cocotte, and guests really want to please Julien… It is convenient to take it with you on a picnic, Julienne in tartlets, delicious, crispy baskets of dough and creamy mushroom filling in cream sauce – mmmm… what could be tastier? I want to offer you a budget version of Julienne on milk.
