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.
Dedicated to lovers of dating. For the first time I tried this canapé on the wedding table, and I really liked it.. I liked it so much that I do it at every opportunity. It seems to me that this recipe can be useful on the New Year’s table.. Perfectly combined with champagne.
Dessert canapes in New Year’s decoration will be appropriate for an aperitif with light wines, and during a feast, and as a dessert! Cooking is very easy and fast. The taste is cheesy, orange, sweet.
Lightly salted salmon fillet with lemon. In the evening we add salt, and in the morning you can cook whatever you want, or vice versa… in the morning and in the evening, the salmon is ready to eat. Salted salmon can be used to make not only canapes and sandwiches, but also various decorations in the form of roses.
Stylish canapes with fragrant pear, hot sauce, goat cheese and dried meat will become the center of attraction at any party. Such an amazing range of flavors is perfectly complemented by red wine.
While the guests are gathering, until everyone has sat down at the table on New Year’s Eve, you can prepare a small aperitif table with light drinks and canapes. Offer to make a canapé with cocktail shrimps for an appetizer, which are ideal for light wine, champagne or vermouth.
It’s unforgettable and unique! Delicate spicy pasta made of chicken liver and wine, port wine jelly with dried cranberries and pears baked with balsamic vinegar… A real taste pleasure! I suggest serving this snack with red wine.
I don’t know if this can be called a full-fledged recipe, but there are no sandwiches with such a combination of ingredients on the site. For me personally, this combination was unexpected, so I couldn’t pass by without trying. My family, like me, liked the canapes, but the dish is still an amateur. So, if you like to experiment, welcome.
