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.
Canapes made of puff pastry with baked cheese and red caviar. An appetizer for unintentionally descended guests and a rescue wand during the long New Year holidays. It is important to stock up on food!
Do you think that everything is said about the canapes with fish? I hope not. Try my version! The taste of this snack is fishy and tender at the same time. I recommend you try to cook
The basis of our canapes with cheese and olives on skewers on the festive table, unlike most other recipes, is not bread. I put hard cheese on the bottom of the snack. It holds its shape well and gives the canape the necessary stability.
A bright festive snack immediately sets you up for a positive mood! It looks and tastes good! And don’t be afraid of an unexpected combination of products – it’s really delicious!
Everyone knows what a canape is – this small French snack has gained popularity in many countries. Weighing no more than 80 g on the basis of dried bread or on a substrate of hard vegetables with a variety of fillings, mainly prepared for the festive table and buffets. Later they began to use skewers, but not for beauty, but in order not to get their hands dirty while eating. Today I offer you 2 types of canapes: with goat cheese and canapes with red fish, I have smoked salmon! Easy preparation and decoration of any table!
Simple, but delicious and spectacular canapes in Christmas colors. It can be prepared as a snack or as a dish decoration. The taste is delicate, grapefruit, olive. It’s worth a try.
Classic sandwiches on a festive table are boring, hackneyed and uninteresting. But these canapes with juicy meat and apples will make a splash among the guests!
The recipe for these delicate canapes with an unusual taste was found in a magazine. After cooking them, I was pleasantly surprised by the harmonious combination of tender trout, creamy softness of cream and exotic notes of soy sauce. I highly recommend this snack to fish lovers!
Two options for serving fish with sauces that set off its taste amazingly. Even the most inexpensive fish, such as cod or hake, will get a festive taste with such a margin. If you don’t have enough small plates to serve these snacks to all the guests, just make crispy toast, smear them with sauce (it’s thick enough) and put a piece of fish on top.
