On the eve of the holiday, let's talk about how best to make a New Year's menu, given the main feature of the holiday - a late and night feast.

Festive table

Receiving guests, a festive table is a particularly pleasant event, especially on New Year's Eve. However, sometimes it is very difficult to predict how many dishes need to be prepared in what volumes for the festive table.

If you are planning a wide variety of snack dishes for the festive table, it is advisable to reduce the portions of the first and second courses by about half.

Menu

The menu of the festive table, the New Year's menu, traditionally consists of cold appetizers and salads, hot dishes of meat, fish, poultry, various drinks and, of course, dessert.

Pick up appetizers and salads of your choice. Here the main rule is a variety of tastes and compositions. Try not to cook the same type of salads based on potatoes and mayonnaise.

You can diversify the festive table with canapes, fish, meat and cheese platters, pita rolls, vegetables.

With a large selection of cold appetizers, remember about hot appetizers. They will be a nice transition to the main course.

The main concern of the hostess is the hot dish of the festive table. It is better to cook it on the day of receiving guests or, in extreme cases, the day before.

It is better to cook meat for the festive table in portions if it is not served immediately after cooking.

It is best to bake it in a large piece in the oven. Beef makes excellent roast beef, veal or lamb can also be baked in a piece or stewed with sauce.

To give the meat a tender, piquant taste, use all kinds of seasonings, spicy vegetables, and sometimes just vegetables and fruits to your taste.

You can roast poultry in the oven, and serve the side dish separately cold. If you prefer fish dishes, you can boil it (choose sturgeon or salmon) or bake in the oven, but choose varieties without rib bones.

Remember, never prepare a new hot dish for the festive table. But the dish on which they tested themselves can always be served differently, changing the shape, side dish, filling, decoration.

It will be your signature dish that your family and friends will only be able to taste at your place. Do you already have a proven dish? Be sure to include it in your New Year's menu.

Thinking through the menu, choose the right sauces for hot dishes and snacks. The sauce gives the food a special aroma and taste, emphasizing the merits of cooked products.

For the New Year's holiday table for dessert, it is better to prepare jelly, cream, mousse, cocktails. Since it will be very late, after a hearty meal, these chilled dishes are pleasantly refreshing.

Fruits served in a vase always decorate the table. A nice addition to the festive table, after a break, can be a cup of tea, and light confectionery can be served with tea.

You should not cook heavy salads with mayonnaise, dishes from fatty meat, smoked meats for the festive New Year's table. Such dishes contain a whole range of substances harmful not only to the figure, but also to the stomach.

On New Year's Eve, give preference to salads with light dressing, meat baked in the oven with vegetables, fruits and vegetables.

What to remember

In the New Year's bustle, do not forget about the diet. You should not cook festive dishes all day on an empty stomach, but only under the chimes start to absorb all the dishes.

Sit at a table in bright light. Research scientists have shown that people eat less food in strong light.

Eat slowly, chewing thoroughly, enjoying every bite. Don't forget to drink water.

Concentrate not on food, but on the New Year's holiday itself: dance more, chat with friends. Then the New Year will give you only pleasant memories!

Happy New Year! I wish you success! Health! Happiness! Love! Well-being! Always be in great shape!

When thinking over the menu for the new year 2017, each housewife will plan what to cook, make a shopping list and decide in a panic when to do it all. I decided to put together for you several options for the New Year's menu with a shopping list and a clear plan for when and what to cook and how to make your life easier. And as a bonus - how to calculate the amount of food for 1 person for the New Year's table.

Perhaps you can change some menus a little to your taste. However, I tried to observe two main points: on New Year's Eve, no one should overeat and the hostess should not kill herself at the stove. Therefore, we will do most of the work on preparation and in the kitchen during the week, and on December 31 we will pay attention to hair, manicure, rollercoaster rides, and a trip to the main Christmas tree of the city. And only an hour before setting the table, you will spend in the kitchen. Each menu and shopping list can be downloaded as a separate printable file so you don't forget to take it with you to the store. In addition, the list is divided into 2 parts. The first is products that you can buy in advance, a week before the holiday. After all, these days there will be no crowds in stores. The second part is what you need to buy the day before the holiday. This part includes perishable products. I specifically do not include side dishes in the menu, because. they make the night sky much heavier. If you think you can't do without them, add them yourself. Also, I do not indicate fruit, vegetable, meat and cheese cuts. I also advise you to avoid fruit and vegetable salads, which will quickly flow and lose their appearance. Whether or not to add them is your decision. In the meantime, choose what you like and have a merry New Year 2017!

Festive menu options:

In addition to the list that you can download for purchase, I recommend checking if you have those products at home that tend to run out at the most inopportune moment:

• Salt and sugar
• Tea coffee
• Napkins
• I also strongly advise you to buy disposable cups, my guests love to run out after 12 to launch fireworks with a bottle of champagne.

Romantic New Year's Eve menu for two

The main feature of compiling such a menu for the new year is to remember that dishes are only a small fraction of your romance. Focus on creating a romantic atmosphere, your appearance and good mood. You can safely go to the salon on December 31, do your hair, manicure, walk and enjoy the expectation of the upcoming holiday. After all, who knows, maybe today they will make an offer to you?

Cooking plan:

I tried to plan the time as much as possible so that you would not worry that you would miss something and not be distracted from the New Year's mood.

1. One week before: We buy everything we need on the first part of the shopping list. We allocate the evening and make sweets. You can safely store them in the refrigerator. Put the candies in a plastic or glass container so that they don't absorb the smell of other foods.
2. December 30th:
   • We prepare cheese cream for canapes, dry the bread. Swap the bread for a salted cracker if you like. Cooking 1/4 of the ingredients of the cream cheese recipe. 8 crackers are enough.
   • Cut the turkey fillet (chicken if desired) into two portions and beat off. Salt, pepper. We put it in a container or wrap it in cling film and send it to the refrigerator.
   • If you are using frozen shrimp, transfer them from the freezer to the refrigerator so that they thaw properly.
3. Dec. 31:
   • Cooking turkey fillet with sauce. To serve the fillet we burn, we do this. While frying the fillet, turn on the oven and heat to 180 degrees. We shift the fillet into a ceramic or glass baking dish, cover with foil and send the oven. After 5 minutes, turn off the oven and the fillet will come to readiness by itself. There it can be 20-30 minutes. If there is no oven, cook according to the recipe, but cover the finished fillet on a plate with a hot pan lid. If the fillet is cold before serving, use the microwave. And then pour the sauce over it.
   • Preparing the shrimp sauce, pour the shrimp. We cut the tomatoes. Cooking canapes. All together it will take 20 minutes.
   • Preparing the sauce for the turkey. 10 minutes.
   • Mix the salad right before serving. 2 minutes.
   • We get candy.
   • Set the table, straighten your hair, celebrate the new year!

Cooking plan:

For such a menu, it is better to allocate 2 hours for cooking on December 30th. In fact, there is not much to cook, and cutting Olivier will take you the most time.

1. December 30th.
   • Boil potatoes, eggs, breast for Olivier and eggs for fish pate.
   • Cooking a cake. We put the cake to cool, decorate and pour yogurt tomorrow.
   • Cut olive oil. We don't run Olivier!
   • Cooking fish paste.
   • We skip the meat through a meat grinder for minced meat. Saute onion and mushrooms for meatloaf. Do not mix, put separately in the refrigerator.

   The total time is 2 hours. I recommend involving children in peeling eggs and potatoes. And perhaps a husband for slicing Olivier. You will need about half of the fish pate, so you can safely use the second half for breakfast the next day (spread on sandwiches).

2. Dec. 31.
   • Let's start with the preparation of meatloaf. We will form a meat loaf, but we will not send it to the oven, but set it aside. I recommend sending it to bake an hour before the start of the feast, so that it is hot. 20 minutes.
   • We take out the cake, decorate with yogurt. I buy ready-made sugar figures in the form of snowflakes or decorate as in the recipe. 15 minutes.
   • Drain the liquid from the olives, mozzarella, make a snack on skewers. I recommend entrusting this part to the children, then you will spend 5 minutes.
   • Spread the fish paste on the crackers. We decorate. 10 minutes.
   • Cooking mayonnaise, season Olivier. 10 minutes.

As you can see, it will take you only an hour to prepare on December 31st. If you want, you can form a meatloaf in the morning, refrigerate. This will further reduce the preparation time before the holiday.

Shopping list, recipes for printing.

If you have a little more time - you can bake truffle cake. He is truly amazing. Cakes for him can be prepared 3-5 days before the holiday. If you have 1-2 more guests, pick up some more New Year's salads.

Menu for a company of 8 people

If you are going to celebrate with a large company, you want to surprise the guests and not inflate the budget. So I made a relatively budget menu. The main thing with this option is not to cook a lot of dishes, but simply increase the amount of each. You can also ask for help with the preparation of one of the guests. Or ask to bring some of the salads or cake with you. The main emphasis in this menu is made not only on its budget, but also on the fact that on the 31st you only need to put the finishing touches. And you still spend only an hour cooking. I quite boldly suggest that you include a salad with barley instead of the usual Olivier in the New Year's menu for the company. And for those who do not recognize salads with mayonnaise - potato salad. It can also serve as a kind of garnish. The number of ingredients for the salad can not be increased, each guest will get it. but make boiled pork from a piece of meat at the rate of about 150 grams per person. For a sweet end to the evening, I suggest buying tangerines and sweets for the cake. According to the recipe, you will get a cake for about 8 people.

Cooking plan:

1. For 3-4 days. We bake cake layers for Pincher cake. I draw your attention to the fact that for such a large company you need to take a double portion of the ingredients according to the recipe. We are also engaged in cakes for snack mushroom cake.
2. December 30th.
   • Boil vegetables for appetizers with anchovies and salads.
   • We cut salads, but do not put onions in them and do not season them.
   • We clean the anchovy (anchovy) and put it in a glass container with a lid. Lightly drizzle the hamsa with oil so that it does not dry out.
   • We marinate the ham.
   • We make cream for the cake and prepare the Pincher cake.
   • We collect snack cake with mushrooms.

   On this day, you will spend about 4 hours cooking. Therefore, I once again recommend that you invite assistants or entrust the preparation of part of the dishes to guests.

3. Dec. 31. We'll be ready in less than an hour!
   • 2-3 hours before the feast, put the boiled pork in the oven. She will have time to cook and reach and cool a little in the oven. 10 minutes of pure time. Don't forget to set a timer on your oven or phone to turn off the oven.
   • We prepare an appetizer with anchovies / anchovies and cut bread for it. 20 minutes
   • Cut onions into salads, season. 15 minutes.
   • Cut the boiled pork and snack cake before serving.

Print the shopping list and recipes for the New Year's menu.

What else can be cooked? I think enough. You may want to make more appetizers or other salads. Make changes to the menu to your liking.

Menu for fasting and vegetarians

I combined these two menu options into one. Those who fast may not celebrate the New Year at all. But still, many celebrate it symbolically. Vegetable cabbage rolls can be prepared a couple of weeks before the holiday.

Cooking plan:

1. A week before. Cooking vegetable cabbage rolls. We stand 3-4 days at room temperature and put in the refrigerator. Stuffed cabbage rolls are prepared in general for about an hour or two, depending on your ability to twist cabbage rolls.
2. For 3-4 days. Cooking lean cookies with marmalade. Let the finished cookies cool and put them in an airtight box. The total cooking time is about 1.5 hours.
3. Dec. 31.
   • Let's start with the salad. If you use the attachments for a meat grinder, food processor or blender to grate vegetables, it will take about 15 minutes. If there are no nozzles, to speed up the process, ask your children or husband to help grate the vegetables.
   • We're making risotto. About 40 minutes. Do not forget that this is a dish that needs to be constantly stirred.

If you like, replace the cookies with a lean cinnamon and almond roll. If you can eat fish on this day or you want to replace some of the recipes, take a look at the recipes for Fasting. In the Advent Post 2014-2015, on December 31, you can eat fish, but on January 1, only hot dishes with vegetable oil. Many people believe that in addition to fish, you can eat all kinds of seafood, so perhaps you can include salads with them in the New Year's menu for fasting. And shrimp salad recipes come in handy, almost anyone can be seasoned with vegetable oil.

What will I cook for the New Year's table

Everything is simple with my New Year's menu. I will celebrate the New Year with my family - my husband, daughter, parents and our godfather. I really hope that this year he will not come by himself. As a basis for the menu, I will take the above menu for the new year for a family of 4. Just calculate the amount of meatloaf so that would be left for breakfast. For each person, I will count 200 grams of pork (raw, before processing) for New Year's Eve. + 200g*3 for brunch or rather lunch on January 1st for me, husband and daughter. Plus, I will add another salad, because. adults will be 5-6 people + 12 year old daughter. What's left of the salads will be the same for brunch the next day.

If unexpected guests run in, I will have fruits, sweets, something for meat and cheese cuts, pickled plums, cucumbers, tomatoes - in general, something that can be put on the table very quickly as a light snack. Because from experience - after 12 at night, guests come already from the table and don’t eat much. And I don't want to cook too much.

If you will be making changes to the New Year's menu or you need your own version of the menu for the new year, I have prepared a video on how to properly list dishes and plan a budget and action plan:

Table for calculating the amount of food for the New Year's menu

This is the approximate amount of food that one person at the New Year's table will eat. If you don’t want to calculate for each type of dish separately, focus on an average of 500 grams of food per man and 350-400 grams per woman. If there is alcohol, then we increase the number of cold snacks (I have already increased). Remember that it is night, heavy dishes will create a feeling of heaviness. And instead of New Year's fun, you run the risk of sitting in a corner on an armchair, dreaming about mezim. Dessert and fruit count separately.

Cold snacks - 100-200 gr. (cheeses, vegetable and meat cuts, fish, mushrooms)
Salads - 200 gr.
Hot dishes - 200-250 gr.
Fruit plate - 200 gr. or cake - 150-200 gr.

Despite the fact that everyone has different tastes, on the New Year's table in every house there will certainly be hot dishes, salads, snacks and desserts. But from what specific products the dishes will be prepared, it is difficult to predict. Some people like fish, others like chicken, others only eat vegetables, so opinions differ. Since the next year will be held under the sign of the Earth Pig, it is worth thinking about vegetable and fish dishes. It is undesirable to cook pork dishes, this may offend the hostess of the year. Also, do not order fast food, pizza, sushi rolls.

How to set the New Year's table, the nuances

Before the holiday, first decide on the color scheme on the table. Buy a new tablecloth, pick up napkins to match it. The main colors for the next year's meeting: yellow, gold, brown, white.

The atmosphere in which the evening will pass depends on the beautiful serving. Any little things are important: put a beautiful candlestick with carved candles on the side of the table, and use special decorative rings for napkins. Even if you are celebrating the New Year together, this is not a reason to neglect the serving, on the contrary, arrange a romantic in a beautiful environment.

Making and decorating New Year's dishes - ideas with photos

Hello readers! One of the most anticipated holidays is approaching - the New Year. We were taught from childhood that on the night of December 31 to January 1, all dreams and desires come true. And we, like children, are waiting for this moment, hoping for a brighter future. I want to wish everyone that the New Year's fairy tale comes true. And the first step is to prepare a delicious and original menu.

Now there is such a large selection of dishes that the eyes run wide. But I don't want to guess. It happens that you cook according to a recipe from the Internet, but it turns out tasteless. So that this fate does not overtake you, I have collected the best options. And they are in front of you.

I also prepared for you the top 15 most delicious New Year's salads. They are available.

First of all, I want to cook something new and interesting, since the standard Olivier is a little boring. Check out the content below and see what I offer. Click on the recipe you are interested in and go to it.

Ingredients:

• freshly frozen mackerel - 1 pc. large
• sweet orange large - 1 pc.
• seasoning for fish - 1 tsp
• provencal herbs - 1 tsp
• soy sauce - 1 tbsp. l.
• lemon juice - 1 tsp
• sunflower oil - 2 tbsp.
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking method:

1. First, the fish must be thawed. It is better to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator in advance so that the ice melts gradually. Cut open the belly and remove all the insides. Also, carefully cut out the gills with culinary scissors or a knife, lifting the gill covers. When cleaning the fish, it is important to remove the black film that is in the middle. If you leave it, the dish will be unpleasantly bitter.

Rinse the carcass well under running water and blot with a napkin.

2. Next, for a festive serving, remove the bones. To do this, extend the incision along the abdomen to the tail. Now cut along the spine, cutting through the costal bones. The fish will open. With a knife, go along the other side of the ridge. To get it, work with scissors, cutting off this large bone.

3.Now select the costal bones to leave the fillets.

In mackerel, unlike herring, there are no small bones. Therefore, it is easy to split.

4. When the fish is prepared, take care of the sauce. Wash the orange first with a brush to get a good peel. Grate the zest from half of this fruit on a fine grater.

It is important to remove only the top orange layer without catching the white part, which is bitter.

5. Cut four circles from an orange - this will be a pillow for mackerel when baking. Squeeze fresh juice from the remaining half. It is convenient to use a special manual citrus juicer. If it is not there, just squeeze it out with your hands, helping yourself with a spoon.

6. Pour the orange juice over the zest.

If your fruit is sour, add 1 tsp. Sahara. If it's sweet, then you don't need it.

7. Pour dry seasonings into the sauce, also add vegetable oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly. Be sure to try the marinade so that it tastes harmonious. Let the sauce stand for 5 minutes so that it is infused and the spices open up.

8. Put the fish in a baking dish. If the form is large, then you can immediately cook several carcasses for a large number of guests. Pour the sauce over the mackerel and marinate for 20 minutes.

9. Place four circles of orange under the carcass so that the fish does not stick to the mold, as the liquid will evaporate. In addition, additional juice will be released from them, which will impregnate the mackerel.

10. Cover the form with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180º. Therefore, remove the foil and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes.

11. Transfer the finished dish to a beautiful plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. And serve hot to the table. The fragrance will spread beautifully throughout the house. So everyone will be looking forward to this mackerel. Here is such a simple, juicy dish worthy of the New Year's table.

5. Put the chopped breast in a bag or under a cling film and beat it with a hammer on both sides.

Using the film, you protect the kitchen from splashes.

6. Preheat the oven to 175º and bake the starter base for 30 minutes. The balls will rise well and be hollow inside. Do not open the oven ahead of time so that the profiteroles do not settle. Cooking times may vary. Make sure that the dough does not remain raw inside.

7. Put the baked "cakes" on the cooling rack.

Raspberry chocolate dessert in a glass

Desserts in a glass always look beautiful and are easy to prepare. This recipe contains raspberries, but you can use other frozen berries to your liking. You will need 5 cups of 150 ml.

Ingredients:

for the raspberry mousse:

• frozen raspberries - 500 gr.
• sugar - 120 gr.
• chilled cream 33% - 200 gr.
• cornstarch - 5 gr.
• sheet gelatin - 10 gr.

for chocolate mousse:

• dark chocolate - 100 gr.
• chilled cream 33% - 100 gr.
• milk - 50 gr.
• sheet gelatin - 5 gr.

Cooking method:

1. Let's start with the preparation of raspberry mousse. Soak sheet gelatin in cold water for 10-15 minutes until swelling.

2. Defrost the berries in a deep bowl and puree them with an immersion blender.

3. Rub the resulting raspberry mass through a sieve to get rid of the seeds. The output should be 300 ml of puree.

4. Mix sugar with corn starch.

5. Put the saucepan with raspberries on the fire and heat until hot, stirring constantly so as not to burn. Then add a mixture of sugar and starch. Keep stirring. Wait for the mass to boil and thicken slightly.

6.Pour the puree into a deep bowl. Squeeze out the sheet gelatin and send it to a puree. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Leave for 10 minutes for the mixture to cool slightly.

7. Pour the chilled cream into a bowl and beat them with a mixer until stable peaks.

8. Gradually add the whipped cream to the cooled raspberry puree and stir. You should get a magnificent mass.

9. In cups with a teaspoon, very carefully place the mousse in the center. The mass will spread around the edges. Take your time so as not to splash the mixture on the walls of the glass, otherwise the appearance will be spoiled. Spread the raspberry layer with a toothpick so that it lies in an even layer (about 1 cm high). No need to shake or tilt the glasses - get an uneven surface.

10. Place cups with dessert in the refrigerator to harden. Let the remaining raspberry mousse wait its turn on the table for now.

11. While the first layer is chilling, prepare the chocolate mousse. First, as with raspberry, soak the gelatin in cold water.

12. Pour the chocolate, broken into pieces, into a fireproof bowl. Pour milk into it. Put in a water bath to heat. Do not move away and stir constantly. Bring the mass to a homogeneous state.

13. Squeeze out the gelatin sheets and add to the melted chocolate. Stir vigorously until the thickener is completely dissolved.

14. With cream, we do the same procedure as for the first time. They need to be beaten to stable peaks in a separate container.

15. Gradually fold the cream into the chocolate and stir until a smooth, fluffy texture is obtained.

If you like, you can add some orange zest to the mousse.

16. Remove the glasses with the frozen first layer from the refrigerator. Pour in the chocolate mousse the same height as the raspberry mousse. Smooth the edges again with a toothpick and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

18. It remains to decorate. This can be done with fresh berries, chocolate chips, mint. In general, take what is available. You can just rub the chocolate and it will be cool. The dessert is actually not complicated, not more complicated than ordinary jelly. But very effective and delicious.
