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.

Such delicious, simple pastries will delight you and your loved ones on cold January evenings. It is prepared simply and quickly. If someone doubts whether to bake or not to bake, do it boldly. I want to say a few words about this wonderful dessert. Once upon a time I baked eclairs, then somehow the recipe was forgotten, lost, like many other equally excellent desserts that can be prepared both on holidays and on weekdays. I’ve looked at a lot of recipes on the internet and on websites. I’ve baked eclairs three times in the last week. And all three times I came to the conclusion that these recipes do not suit me at all, the dough is too liquid, the temperature does not match, the proportions are too complex, it is not necessary to measure grams and milligrams in such a simple baking. So we need to change the proportions! I decided to act as my intuition tells me, but it’s still worth sticking to some nuances in the recipe. If you have never baked this dessert, take it boldly. Everything is outrageously simple and surprisingly fast.
