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.
A cake from Chef Goland with mascarpone cream. Hello, dear friends! I have a real cookie lit up here (without baking powder and soda). Try to cook and enjoy this dessert.
A very delicate pie.. with a layer of canned pineapples, which makes it very fresh and fragrant.. And a layer of Mascarpone cream cheese, which makes it very tender))) how to cook mascarpone at home… I showed it.. that’s the whole power, and a lot of it won’t take long.. And you can buy a jar of pineapples in any store. So, don’t be afraid of the name… Try it yourself… and treat them to a delicious treat.. family and friends)
This cake came to me under the name “Tiramisu cake”. But, as it seemed to me, this name is not very correct, so I decided to rename it. Due to the similarity of the ingredients, the taste of the cake is really similar to the taste of tiramisu. The pastry has a very delicate, moist, soft texture. An amazing option. I am sure that many people will like this cake.
I love this souffle cake so much that, of course, it’s not a pity to spend money on cream cheese. Especially now is the season of “real” strawberries (although you can save money on this), and it is impossible not to cook this yummy. Even the biggest “monkeys” are delighted with this.
I think the first association when you talk about an Italian dessert is “Tiramisu”. Of course, it’s so delicious! But sometimes you can dream up and play with tastes. I offer you a roll with a delicate mascarpone cream and a coffee-chocolate flavor.
I took the basis of the recipe for this wonderful dessert at the next master class at the Culinary Academy of Hector Jimenez Bravo. I have not yet acquired a form for boucher, because I molded it in the form of a cake (bread), but it did not affect the taste in any way… And, of course, this dish is quite worthy of the royal table, believe me? Come and treat me!!!
All children love sweets, and these cookies can complement the festive table. This is also a good opportunity to make a handmade gift and give it for Christmas, tied with a ribbon. The idea was spied in oriental cuisine, in Indian.
