Delicious recipes for second courses in a hurry or for a festive table are infinitely diverse. Simple recipes with photos will help even novice cooks in cooking.
The second course to the table is traditionally served after the soup – in other words, the main ones are the “second” dishes that are familiar to us, which are the central element of the meal. Most often, the main second course is prepared from meat, poultry, fish and seafood, to which cooked or raw vegetables, legumes, cereals, pasta and mushrooms are necessarily served as a side dish.
Fish or meat main dishes are the most satisfying, nutritious and large in volume. For every day, modern chefs, as a rule, serve simple main dishes that are easy to prepare. Cutlets, meatballs, schnitzels, sausages, cabbage rolls, fried fish or fish in batter, which do not require much time for heat treatment and serving. On the occasion of the solemn events, a festive main dish is being prepared, which should surprise the guests and become the culmination of the banquet. Here, each cook is already trying to show her culinary skills, choosing from the most delicious recipes of the main dishes what suits the tastes of the guests and the budget of the hosts.
Here you will find a rich selection of photo-recipes of main dishes – bean rolls with cheese, white fish meatballs, rabbit in orange marinade, pork stuffed with prunes, chicken with peaches and Scottish eggs. The main dishes prepared according to our recommendations will definitely become the star of the dinner party!
It would seem that there is nothing unusual about meat and potatoes? And an unusual way of cooking, which gives the dish a unique taste. After all, the dish is baked in the oven, on a “pillow” of hay, which is mixed with fragrant thyme and filled with white port.
New Year is not only New Year’s Eve, but also long holidays when it is necessary to feed our household. I want to offer you a delicious, simple and quite interesting meat dish. It is prepared on the basis of the famous oriental dish called Kibbe. It’s usually made from lean lamb, but we’re going to cook it from pork, so for obvious reasons.
Turkey thigh roll stuffed with spicy stuffing is a delicious and beautiful snack for any occasion. Meat loaf always looks bright and presentable on any festive table. This roll can be served both hot and cold. Tender, juicy turkey meat, soaked in the aroma of prunes and spicy spices. To complement the turkey roll, you can use a healthy and bright side dish of ginger carrots. In general, the dish turns out to be light (in composition), bright and festive!
I suggest the option of cooking dumplings, which will be an excellent hot dish for any holiday. Dumplings can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, and on the right day just bake them in cream and serve to the table.
New Year is a family holiday. And there are always children at the festive table. And they are, as you know, fastidious and terrible conservatives!

Try on the role of a fairy! And there will be no whims at the table!
