The drinks on the New Year's table, of course, will be alcoholic and non-alcoholic, of varying degrees of strength, as they say, according to taste and color...

I suggest preparing in advance a couple of alcoholic drinks of amazing taste, which guests will appreciate and will lavish many compliments on the skillful hostess, and one non-alcoholic one, for those who do not like alcohol and children at all.

Strawberry liqueur

A month before the New Year, it is quite possible to prepare Strawberry liqueur; for this you will need half a kilo of fresh strawberries, a glass of sugar and a liter of vodka.

Mix everything in a two-liter jar with a screw cap and place in a dark place. Every day, take out the jar and shake it to lift the sugar from the bottom. Once the sugar has dissolved, it’s done! Serve with ice cubes and dilute with tonic.

2. Place in a blender, add pineapple juice and blend.
3. Pour into glasses, insert a straw and garnish the glass with a slice of kiwi.

Where to go on vacation during the New Year holidays

Setting the festive New Year's table, of course, begins with choosing the color scheme in which the table will be decorated. Multicolor is not welcome in this matter; two, or maximum three colors, more is already a sign of unrefined taste.

The mistress of the coming year is Pig. The colors she loves are yellow, red and light green.

If you plan to set the table in red, then you need to remember that this color generally prefers the proximity of only one color, and preferably it should be white; the combination of white and red gives rise to strict harmony and solemnity.

Let's say the tablecloth is red, and the napkins, dishes and candles on the table are white. You can add a gold figurine of the hostess and yellow cutlery.

Or you can set the table in yellow-brown-gold tones, but you need to be very careful with gold so that the table does not look too pretentious and pompous. Rustic-style earthenware and ceramic serving utensils would be very appropriate on such textiles.

On a white tablecloth, green decorations will look very appropriate - napkins, a decorative Christmas tree or a spruce bouquet, green glasses, gold and silver dishes.

Well, now a few secrets:

• The textiles on the festive table should look perfect - carefully ironed, the tablecloth should hang over the edges of the table by at least a quarter of a meter.
• Napkins are always chosen either in a contrasting color or the same color, but a couple of shades darker.
• Covers on the backs of chairs to match the tablecloth will greatly decorate and add festiveness, sophistication and chic to the setting.
• A wide runner that matches the rest of the decor looks very nice on the tablecloth.
• Since the hostess of the coming year loves to eat, there should be a real abundance on the table; to save space, you can use large dishes on which several different types of cuts or snacks should be placed.
• Cutlery can be packed in openwork rustic napkins, tied with ordinary shaggy packing cord; of course, this is only possible when decorating the table in a rustic style.
• Decorate the stems of the wine glasses with rain, satin ribbons or glitter.
• When setting the New Year's table, small details that support the holiday atmosphere are of particular importance - beads and paper napkins with New Year's decor, Christmas tree decorations and even small pots with fresh flowers.
• A special place on the festive table should be occupied by the symbol of the coming year - a cute pig, and pair it with a dog - a symbol of the outgoing year.
• The surface of the salads can be decorated in the form of convex Christmas tree balls, using finely grated cheese, egg white or yolk for sprinkling and drawing patterns with mayonnaise.

The New Year holiday should be celebrated and celebrated brightly, in a circle of pleasant people and in a friendly atmosphere, then the year will be successful!

In the meantime, take my interesting and new menu for the New Year 2019 of the Pig!

Is it also recommended to cook chicken on a can on the 30th? How to warm it up later?
Is it possible to combine cooking chicken in a jar and baked potatoes according to your signature recipe?
Answer: Olga, yes, you can combine cooking chicken and potatoes. That's what I do. I cook the chicken on the 30th, store it in the refrigerator, and reheat it in the microwave just before serving.

14 adults are expected. The menu was compiled a month ago and basically everything was purchased for cooking, something is waiting in the wings, something is in the freezer waiting in the wings. I plan to boil the tongue three days in advance, prepare it for slicing and freeze it, and I’ll do the same with the breast for the salad. Home made sweets. Made coconut and truffles. At this stage I am baking gingerbread cookies. But on the Internet I found a recipe for an English Christmas cake, which is baked 6 weeks before Christmas, it is baked, and once a week I soak it in cognac. I’ve also made an Italian panforte dessert. This week I plan to bake honey cakes and nut shells – I’ll take them out into the cold.

QUESTION:
Dasha, tell me, if I cook the tongue on the 28th, cut it and put it in the freezer, will it be okay?
also with bechamel sauce for lasagna, I’m thinking of preparing it in advance and putting it in the freezer - won’t it separate?
Answer: Bechamel can be frozen, it will separate, but if you stir it again, it will be suitable for lasagna. If it’s for a salad or a main course without subsequent heat treatment, it’s better to make it fresh. But from 28 to 31 both bechamel and tongue are perfectly stored in the refrigerator without freezing.

Daria, you inspired me with your webinar. Before this, my head was a mess: I wanted to cook a lot of different dishes, but I understood that I would then die in the kitchen, and there would be no one to eat everything at once, because... Our family is small. After the webinar, I finally wrote down a list of all the dishes I was interested in and divided them into those that I would prepare for December 31st, and those that I would prepare during the holidays for various guests. At the same time, I wrote out a daily cooking plan and a grocery list. It turns out that most of the list has already been purchased.

Thank you

Answer: Aziza, there is no such thing on the website. Perhaps one of the girls on the forum, but I don’t remember that.

Elena: | December 18th, 2012 | 12:20 pm

Good day to all!
Olivier (30 min), herring under a fur coat (40 min), carrot salad 10 min (the simplest is to grate raw carrots on a fine grater, add crushed walnuts, garlic through a garlic press and mayonnaise to taste, you can also use beetroot ( beets) - only already boiled and plus you can add chopped prunes. Slicing - sausage, balyk, cheese. Sandwich with red caviar.
Hot: stewed cabbage with ribs for 40-50 minutes, it all depends on the type of cabbage, potatoes in the sleeve (20-25 minutes), meat with prunes (40 minutes) and perhaps if children come, honey wings on the grill (they can be prepared in advance, because they are also very tasty cold) – 30 min without taking into account the time for marinating.
dessert - Napoleon cake 1-1.3 hours (the day before), sweets, fruits, shock sausage.
drinks - sweet white wine - 1 bottle, sweet champagne - 1 bottle, frozen fruit compote (plum, grapes, cherries, apricots, red currants) - 5 liters (I make a large saucepan, because it’s easy “ bomb” and will go away in a day), tea or coffee - if someone wants it.

By the way, I recently attended a seminar on women’s health (about breasts). So there they drew our attention to the fact that after 45 years, women should not drink any red wines. And also from life experience - for those who have problems with their back (vertebrae) - do not drink wine, champagne, or cognac, it is better - vodka. This is if anyone is interested!!!

Answer: Thanks, interesting fact. I always thought that red wine was a healthy product, and vodka was the opposite.

Happy New Year and a magical and delicious New Year's Eve!

Instructions

First, let's decide on the general theme of the holiday. Traditional Russian hospitable feast, buffet party, ethnic cuisine (any culinary tradition that does not fit into another menu, for example Mexican, Japanese). This is the case when the golden mean will not suit you. You should not display herring under a fur coat, rolls and sliced ​​meat on the same table. And if you have chosen the culinary style in which you will celebrate the New Year, then let’s move on to the general principles of organizing the feast.

We decide on the menu.

It is advisable to have on the table:

Cold appetizers, cold cuts, sandwiches;

Holiday salads;

Hot;

Desserts, fruits;

Bakery;

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

If all categories are presented, then your guests will definitely not leave hungry. Pay attention to the fact that your dishes alternate between meat, fish and poultry. You should not make three chicken salads, cornets with chicken and chicken in sauce for hot dishes. New Year, by the way, is a great time for rare dishes, such as goose with apples or rabbit in sour cream, unless, of course, you cook them on weekends.

If you don’t have a specific idea for a particular dish, you can ask your guests about their preferences; perhaps some favorite salad was forgotten by you in the heat of searching for new recipes.

Now about the preparation. A very good option is to prepare the ingredients in advance. Anything that can be frozen, make it a day ahead and freeze it. Everything that can be boiled in advance, boil, everything that can be cut in advance, cut! This will not affect the taste of the dish, but it will completely affect your well-being and complexion.

And about preparing new dishes. Cooking according to someone else's recipe for the first time is always interesting, and most importantly, you are never sure what will happen in the end. It may not match the beautiful picture in the book or on the website. Therefore, it is advisable to practice in advance. If you don’t have the energy/time/desire/money for this, then be prepared for the unexpected.

And another option is to simplify your preparation, although very responsible housewives do not like it, but it also has its place. You can invite your guests to bring one dish each. Just agree in advance who brings what and in what quantity. This way, your guests will get into the spirit of the New Year's table, and you will have time to do your makeup or drink a cup of tea and cookies.

2015 will be the year of the Blue-Green Goat. The goat is a calm animal, and this is what they promise for the coming year. The table will exactly correspond to Eastern traditions if there are a lot of greens, vegetables and fruits on it, which the hostess of the year Goat loves. And dishes prepared with various herbs for the New Year 2015 will be a real hit! Hot fish or meat is quite acceptable. Naturally, it is undesirable for it to be a kid or lamb.

But there are no restrictions on sweets and baked goods! Whatever your culinary soul desires can be placed on the holiday table.

note

And the most important thing! Preparations for the New Year and its celebration should proceed without fuss and haste. The goat doesn't like them. Otherwise, she may buck without thinking about the consequences. Be calm and cheerful. And this year will bring you prosperity!

Helpful advice

Let's decide on the New Year's wardrobe. Dark outfits, blue, green, black, are preferable. The shades are calm, with an abstract pattern reminiscent of a goat's mane or sheep's curls. A man can choose a tie of any texture. Jewelry with stones would be an ideal complement.

The Year of the Goat is not over yet, but many housewives are already starting to think about the next winter holiday. It is important not only to feed the guests, but to appease the patron of the next year. The symbol of 2016 is the Red Fire Monkey, which has a stormy temperament, restlessness and eccentricity.

The main rule in preparing dishes for the festive New Year's table is to choose natural products. It must be remembered that the Monkey does not approve of dyes and carcinogens. Since this is a herbivore, most dishes should be vegetarian - a variety of salads, vegetable stews, grilled vegetables and diet skewers. It is recommended to flavor dishes generously with any herbs - dill, parsley, lettuce, arugula, green onions, etc. It is also recommended to use chicken eggs, carrots, peppers and onions.

It is important to remember that salads should be kept light, because the Monkey loves an active lifestyle, which requires energy. In order not to overeat on New Year 2016, it is worth organizing a buffet on which you need to place sandwiches or chips. The advantage of using such a table is that there will be no heaviness in the stomachs and nothing will prevent guests from having fun, dancing and participating in various competitions.

If it is known in advance that guests prefer meat dishes or fish, then it is recommended to serve, for example, ham on a spit, shish kebab or other dish cooked over an open fire. It is best to steam fish, but you should avoid other seafood altogether - the Monkey does not feel any attachment to them. For the symbol of the coming year, it is more important that food is subject to heat treatment as little as possible. There should not be a lot of meat on the table; you should choose only low-fat varieties. And it is best to give preference to chicken.

The table should be rich in sweets. So make sure you have a large plate with a variety of fruits, including bananas. As an additional treat, you can serve cookies, pastries or cake.

On New Year 2016, you should give preference to noble alcoholic drinks - sparkling wines, whiskey and cognac. Compotes, juices, fruit drinks or plain water are welcome. It is recommended to diversify the table with all kinds of chilled cocktails.

Tip 3: Year of the Fire Rooster: what to put on the New Year’s table

In accordance with the traditions of eastern astrological forecasts, every housewife tries to organize the New Year's table in such a way as to respect the main character of the holiday. 2017 will be held under the auspices of the Red Fire Rooster, who is distinguished by his hot-tempered disposition. How to properly set the table on New Year's holidays 2017? To do this, it is enough to know a few simple nuances.

Table setting

The rustic style is considered one of the most successful options for decorating the New Year's table, since it is in the countryside that the most roosters live. For this idea, you need to stock up in advance on tablecloths and linen napkins, wicker baskets, nests, bread bins, as well as flower arrangements consisting of ears of wheat and other dried flowers. Matting coasters, wooden dishes decorated with Khokhloma painting or exquisite Gzhel with images of various birds will look great on the table.

Special attention should be paid to the color scheme of decoration. The Year of the Fire Rooster is symbolically associated with colors such as red, white, yellow, gold and blue. All these shades can be safely used when choosing design options, but you should not overdo it, since the rooster is considered a bird with a difficult character. The optimal combination is no more than two colors, for example, red and white or gold and blue. This of course depends on your individual preferences.

What to put on the table?

This issue requires careful preparation and thinking through the menu down to the smallest detail. The most important rule in this case is a complete refusal to eat chicken meat. It is better to focus your attention on a variety of light salads, including vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, etc. These dishes can be seasoned with low-fat sauces consisting of a combination of spices and wine vinegar.

Don’t forget to put on the table dishes from cereals, nuts, legumes, as well as all kinds of preparations for the winter. The fiery rooster will appreciate this menu. Meat dishes can be replaced with seafood or, as a last resort, tender rabbit meat can be prepared.

As for alcohol, it is better to give preference to red wine, champagne or a cocktail, which in English means “rooster tail”. You can finish your New Year's meal by serving desserts in the form of chicken eggs or including egg cream.

• What should be on the New Year's table in the Year of the Rooster

When thinking about the New Year's menu, do not let the whole thing take its course, thinking that everything will work out on its own, as in past New Year's feasts. Better think carefully about all the smallest details. If you carefully take care of each item on the holiday menu in advance, then the Cockerel will favor you all year.

Instructions

The Fire Rooster prefers naturalness and simplicity, but at the same time he likes everything beautiful and colorful - after all, he himself is one! Accordingly, dishes should not be intricate and take several hours to prepare, but should be bright and colorful. Vegetables and herbs must be on the table. Moreover, it is better to place plant products (even if they are pickles) on a large plate, and serve meat and sausage cuts in the form of canapés in combination with grain bread and vegetables. When compiling a menu for the New Year's table, keep in mind that it is poultry, so you will not at all please it with standard dishes of chicken and other poultry!

Main main course

A good option for the main hot New Year's dish would be "Lamb in English". Here's what you need for it: half a kilo of lamb, 700 g of potatoes, 300 g of onion, 10 g of tomato paste, 4 g of cumin, 2 bay leaves, 60 g of fat, salt, pepper, garlic. Cut the meat into small pieces, add salt, pepper, and sprinkle with crushed cumin. Place the first layer of lamb on the bottom of the dish, sprinkle with chopped onions, and place potato circles on top in an even layer. Repeat layers like this. Place a few cloves of garlic on the last layer of meat and sprinkle with herbs. In a glass of hot water (boiling water is ideal), dilute the tomato paste and pour this “tomato juice” over the meat. Simmer the dish for two hours over low heat - the dish is ready.

Snack

Serve "Shrimp with Creamy Sauce" as the second dish on the New Year's table. A dish of Chinese cuisine will surely delight many of your guests. To prepare this delicate dish you will need the following quite affordable set of products: a kilo of shrimp, 250 g of cream, a couple of cloves of garlic, a piece of butter, parsley, salt. If you prepare in advance for the cooking process, it will go very quickly and you will have time for other equally important matters. What is meant by preparation: remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens sufficiently. Now the cooking process itself. Heat a frying pan on the stove, add soft butter, pour in the cream, throw in the chopped garlic (you can crush it with a press, grate it, or use a garlic press), bring to a boil. Next, reduce the heat to low and add the shrimp (if you bought shrimp in the shell, peel them first) into the creamy garlic sauce. Simmer the entire contents for ten minutes, stir, sprinkle with chopped parsley, stir again. Remove the shrimp, put it on a plate, and leave the sauce on the fire - it should thicken. When this happens, put the shrimp back in the pan and simmer in the sauce for five minutes. After this, you can turn off the stove, put the dish on a plate, and serve it with rice or spaghetti.

Delicious side dish

A side dish for the New Year's table in the form of boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes is already outdated. Instead of this boredom, it is better to serve your guests “Flavorous Baked Potatoes”. The recipe is simple and the cooking process is quick, but guests will still appreciate your culinary skills and praise your dish. So, what do you need for this: eight large potatoes, two egg whites, dry spices and olive oil. For baking, potatoes are cut into slices. Beat the egg white until fluffy, pour it over the slices and stir. Sprinkle the spices generously over the potatoes and toss again. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and evenly place the “pickled” slices into it. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and bake the contents of the pan for half an hour. Stir it every seven minutes.

New Year's salads

Well, how can you do without salads on the New Year's table! You can stick to classic recipes, but it doesn’t hurt to add a little twist to them. For example, instead of the standard “Herring under a fur coat,” serve your guests the salad “Tender herring under a fur coat.”
fur coat." The recipe is the same, just something added and something replaced. So, here is the composition: large herring, 2 beets, 2 potatoes, 2 carrots, 4 eggs, onion, 100 g hard cheese, 80 g butter , sour cream (instead of mayonnaise for coating the layers), herbs. Boil the vegetables and eggs. To make the vegetables easy to peel, put them cool in the refrigerator for several hours. Process the herring (gut, peel, remove the bones) and cut into small cubes. Chop the onion. Vegetables , grate the eggs and cheese on a coarse grater and place them in different plates (for convenience). Grease the bottom of the salad bowl with vegetable oil and begin to “assemble” the salad: a layer of onions, a layer of potatoes (coat with sour cream), a layer of herring (grate butter from the refrigerator on top of it on a coarse grater), a layer of carrots (brush with sour cream again), a layer of eggs (brush with sour cream), a layer of cheese, a layer of beets (fry with sour cream) and decorate with herbs (you can sprinkle with chopped, or you can decorate with leaves or twigs). Thanks to the trick of replacing mayonnaise with sour cream, the salad will be less high in calories, which will greatly please the female half of the guests, and due to the addition of cheese and butter, it really turns out to be very tender.

Don't limit yourself to just one salad. Add to it the “Pearl” salad with red caviar and red fish. You definitely can't go wrong with this recipe! The composition is simple: 200 g of lightly salted salmon, 2 tablespoons of red caviar, 50 g of olives, 5 boiled eggs, boiled quail egg, 50 g of cheese, 1 orange, mayonnaise, green onions. Separate from the yolks and grate each ingredient into separate bowls. Cut the salmon into small slices. Peel the orange and cut it into cubes. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and cut the olives into rings. The “Pearl” salad, like “Herring under a fur coat”, is laid out in layers: half of the proteins mixed with mayonnaise; salted, peppered and mayonnaise-smeared yolks; half of salmon coated with mayonnaise; layer of olives, second half of salmon (without mayonnaise); cheese greased with mayonnaise; layer of oranges; the second half of the proteins with mayonnaise. All that remains is to decorate the salad and you can take it to the table. Decorate it with caviar on top, and place half a quail egg in the center. Place olive slices along the edges of the caviar layer, and scatter the chopped greens around the salad circle.

Stuffed eggs

Now all that’s left is to prepare the appetizer and move on to preparing dessert. A simple appetizer called Deviled Eggs. The composition of the recipe couldn’t be simpler and the appetizer is prepared in a matter of minutes, but what a divine taste it produces! You will need: a dozen eggs, 100 g of cheese, 5 champignons, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and green onions. Boil the eggs hard and remove the shells. Finely chop the mushrooms and fry in a frying pan for 15 minutes, add finely chopped green onions in the last minutes. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and mix with mayonnaise. Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks, which need to be grated on a fine grater. Mix the yolks, mushrooms and cheese and fill the white halves with this mixture. Place the filling in heaps. Sprinkle the appetizer with herbs and serve.

Can't do without dessert!

With the main courses and appetizers done, you can move on to dessert. Prepare the currant cake. The cake turns out light and incredibly airy - just what you need after tasting all the delicious food you’ve prepared. List of ingredients: 100 g butter, 150 each sugar, flour, currant juice, soda (on the tip of a knife), a teaspoon of lemon juice, 250 g currants, a bag of cake filling, 16 g gelatin, an egg, a bag of vanilla sugar, half a kilo of cottage cheese , half a liter of cream (30%). Knead the dough from: flour, butter, 1/3 sugar, lemon juice and soda; Wrap it in film, put it in the refrigerator - half an hour will be enough. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, place the dough in a baking dish and place in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Defrost, rinse and dry the currants. Set aside some berries for decoration. Dilute the cake filling in 50 g of juice and water, put on fire, bring the mixture to a boil. After this, add currants, remove the filling from the heat, and cool. Soak the gelatin. Separate the yolk from the white, grind with sugar, vanilla sugar, cottage cheese. Dissolve gelatin in warm water and slowly add it to the curd cream. Next, beat the egg whites with 2/3 of the whipped cream and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Place the finished cakes in a springform pan and place the berry mixture on top. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Now take the almost finished cake out of the refrigerator, spread the curd cream on it and decorate with whipped cream and the berries you set aside earlier. It remains to keep the cake in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
As you can see, the New Year's table will turn out to be very rich and colorful - the symbol of the New Year 2017 will definitely be to your liking!

The coming year according to the eastern calendar is the year of the dog. The symbol of 2018, the Yellow Earth Dog, loves meat very much and does not favor fish, so it is recommended to put meat on the table as the main dish.

It is better to give the central place to fish and seafood another time, for example, at a festive feast in the year of the Tiger. For those who cannot imagine their New Year's table without fish and seafood, they can be included in appetizers or salads in the New Year's menu.

The dog may not like Asian cuisine, in particular Chinese and Korean. There are two main reasons: firstly, dogs do not like spicy and sweet and sour dishes, and secondly, in Asia they often eat the mistress of the year herself.

The dog is simple and unsophisticated, so he will enjoy a simple holiday table, with natural products and not too complicated dishes. Considering the devotion of a dog’s nature, the owner of 2018 will prefer familiar, proven recipes for the New Year’s table.

When the meatballs are ready, assemble the canapes in layers onto a skewer. For variety, the pepper in the appetizer can be replaced with any hard cheese.

Salads are dishes in which you can “hide” fish, mushrooms, and seafood. Salad recipes for the holiday table may include:

• Layered salad with fish.
• Salad with boiled tongue.
• Salad “beloved husband” with smoked meat and mushrooms.

Please note that any salad can be laid out in the shape of a dog's face or a bone. Not only the guests, but also the Yellow Earth Dog 2018 itself will be delighted with such an idea.

Which hot dish to choose for the holiday table?

A dog is a predator, so when deciding which hot dish to choose for the 2018 New Year's table, give preference to meat, game or poultry. Housewives should take a closer look at the following types of meat:

• rabbit meat,
• mutton,
• beef,
• pork,
• bird.

The dog also loves to indulge in bones, so you can surprise your guests with meat dishes on the bone:

• baked rack of lamb with Provençal herbs,
• pork ribs in the oven,
• pork chops on the bone,
• beef with prunes.

Desserts for New Year 2018

When choosing a menu for the table, do not forget about desserts. The sweet table can be set separately, since few people “get” to the dessert dish on New Year’s Eve. In addition, New Year's gifts, toys, and candles can be placed around a free-standing sweet table. A festive sweet table should be bright, varied, and memorable, so you should pay attention to treats, for example, the following:

• tartlets with butter cream,
• homemade “craft” truffles,
• gingerbread cookies or houses made from gingerbread dough,
• fruit canapes.

When choosing dishes on the holiday table menu, it is important not to forget about table setting, shiny New Year's attributes, and decorations for the room. In combination with delicious dishes, this will create an extraordinary magical atmosphere, and the New Year 2018 will be remembered for a long time!

Eastern sages take the change of year and how to greet its new owner very seriously, so it is better to rely on some principles when choosing dishes to the festive table:

Because the dog- a simple, domestic, good-natured animal, she prefers food that is easy to prepare and preferably made from natural products;

It would be nice to cook home baking, for example, bake your own bread with interesting additives (seeds, onions, dried fruits);

For appetizers, basic canapés with meat, cheese and pickles (to your taste) are quite suitable;

There must certainly be fresh vegetables and herbs on the table;

It is advisable to prepare drinks yourself, for example, mulled wine for adults and dried fruit compote for children and non-drinking guests;

In main dishes, you should avoid too fatty and spicy foods, and it is better to prepare sauces yourself.
