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.
Everyone knows such sweets, and why not bake such cookies?! For a New Year’s table or as a gift?! We will please the dear children, and we will eat ourselves. To heal.
A very tasty and spectacular snack. At first glance it seems that it is troublesome, in fact it is prepared within 1 hour. The name sounds nice, but I have the usual salted pink salmon of my own salting, the most budget-friendly fish in the Far East. This dish will decorate the buffet table for the New Year.
There are few snacks here… I suggest another one – a repeatedly tested roll that can be prepared on the eve of the holiday. And since everyone is waiting for the “mouse” year, the cheese dish is very important.
Bright spicy pie is the very embodiment of winter! Almond cakes, cheese cream with spices and honey, cranberry confit, boiled with spices and zest. It’s pleasantly warm on this snowy winter day.
This delicious snack will fit perfectly into the menu of the festive table and will definitely become a favorite on New Year’s Eve! It can be served as an independent hot dish, or as a snack. Potato baskets with a meat ball under a cream sauce of cottage cheese, herbs and spices, but with a baked cheese crust! This dish will drive any gourmet crazy! And cheese lovers will be delighted!
I offer you the option of a delicious and beautiful snack for the New Year’s table – rolls of pancakes with chicken liver pate and pickles. Also, this snack is useful for a buffet.
A simple and very easy-to-prepare salad that I was preparing for the New Year. Salad with celery and apple acquires juiciness, freshness and interesting taste and aroma.
