Drawing up a festive menu for guests on their birthday is a very responsible task, since any hostess wants to please each of her guests, show off her culinary talents and even surprise with new and original dishes.

However, not everyone can afford an unlimited budget. And yet, even with the most modest family budget, you can not limit yourself to the same long-bored salads and a standard set of snacks.

If you wish, you can show your imagination by making the festive table tasty, unbanal and not go broke at the same time.

How to make the right menu for a festive dinner

First of all, it is important to make a list of guests, because the amount of products that you need to buy will depend on their number, and besides, it will immediately allow you to determine the approximate amount that you will have to spend.

When preparing a menu for adults, you need to rely on the fact that in a few hours of a feast each guest can eat from a kilogram to one and a half kilograms of various products: snacks, sandwiches, salads take up at least 60% of the total amount eaten, hot 30%, desserts about 10% .

Select appetizers and salads

Snacks are good because they do not require a lot of time and skills to prepare them, while guests eat them very willingly until they are served hot.

They are served on separate flat plates, thinly sliced ​​into neat equal segments on their own or using store-bought cuts. You can put boiled pork, carbonate and other meat delicacies, sausage, ham, tongue and other meat and poultry products on a meat plate.

Cheese and vegetables can also be served on plates, combining varieties and combinations of different types of cheeses and fresh or canned vegetables. The presence of even a small amount of each type of snack on a plate with a variety of choices provides a feeling of a rich festive table.

For each person you need about 200 grams of meat and cheese snacks.

It is very good if there are blanks and marinades in the house. Pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, squash and zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers and sauerkraut, homemade marinated salads never go unnoticed by guests.

When planning, you need to lay 300-400 gr. for one adult guest. fresh and (or) canned vegetables in snacks.

Salads help out any housewife, because they are quite satisfying and not very laborious. Everyone's favorite classic set of salads, such as vinaigrette, Olivier, Mimosa, salads with crab sticks, Caesar, herring under a fur coat, fresh cucumber and tomato salad, of course, is unlikely to remain unclaimed.

But if you replace even one of these salads with a new and original one, the guests will be very surprised. It can be a simple but tasty and original salad with ham or chicken and pineapples.

Sea cocktails of mussels, shrimp, squid, salted red fish or caviar are a wonderful table decoration. It is very good if the salads are presented in such an assortment that will satisfy both vegetarians and people on any diet.

Cuts and salads quickly lose their appearance, dry out, turn sour and deteriorate, so they are cooked in moderation, no more than 300-400 grams of the total mass of all snacks per person, so as not to have to throw away the excess.

In addition, with too many snacks, there is a danger of overfeeding guests to satiety already at the initial stage (after all, the main course and dessert are ahead).

The nail of the feast - the main course

Hot is the highlight of the festive table. First of all, decide whether to cook fish, poultry or meat for the main course. However, it is better to remember that not everyone likes fish, so if there is only one hot dish, it is better to opt for meat or chicken. Chicken meat is quite simple to prepare, and besides, it is the most budget option.

Pork or beef, fried in the form of medallions or chops, also does not require much time.

If you want to treat your guests with an unusual dish, choose veal, rabbit or duck. For several hours of a feast, one guest can eat about 300 or 400 grams of a hot dish along with a side dish.

Sweet Conclusion: Dessert

The easiest way is to use a cake as a dessert, and it doesn’t matter if it’s purchased or cooked on your own.

If there is only one cake, complement it with sweets and fruits, and if there were a lot of main dishes, then limit yourself to light portioned desserts from fruits, yogurt, cream or pudding.

Take no more than 100-150 grams of sweets per person.

Summer is the time for nature trips and picnics. Such a holiday is associated not only with fresh air, trees, a river, but also with delicious food.

However, summer is also the time when the risk of poisoning is highest. The scorching sun can quickly ruin even freshly prepared meals. They need to be selected with special care for a picnic.

The choice of dishes for a picnic is huge. What to cook - depends on individual preferences, as well as whether you plan to build a fire and cook something on the spot, such as barbecue or ribs.

On a picnic in the summer, you should not take perishable foods - pates, soft cheeses, curds, cakes, raw eggs, salads with mayonnaise and chocolate. Owners of portable refrigerators can skip this rule, but only if the food will not be exposed to air for a long time.

If you plan to cook barbecue outdoors, then a bowl of meatballs, cabbage rolls and other dishes will be out of place. Appetizers and sandwiches will be very useful to you, they will allow you not to die of hunger while waiting for the main course. It is desirable that the picnic food is not too greasy and heavy. Consider the most popular products that are suitable for outdoor recreation.

1. Meat

Meat is at the top of the list. It can be prepared at home. Fried chops, chicken legs, which can be cooked in crackers or batter, and baked chicken are suitable for a picnic.

A good option would be lazy chops. Cooking them is simple: take 1 kg of any minced meat, break 3 eggs into it, add spices to taste, salt and pepper. Stir and put the minced meat with a spoon on a frying pan heated with oil, forming small "chops" and fry them on both sides. If the stuffing comes out thick, add another one to it. From minced meat, you can form chops with your hands, and dip in flour, then in an egg and fry.

For nature, the best option would be meat on the coals. Both for grilling and barbecue, it is worth picking up meat with fatty streaks. From pork, loin, rump, brisket and neck are recommended. For grilling - tenderloin, brisket and loin on the bone and ribs. From beef - the inner region of the hind leg, rump, sirloin and tenderloin. From lamb - shoulder blade, ribs and back leg. From chicken - wings and legs.

It is better to marinate the meat at home - this will prevent it from spoiling and allow it to marinate. A traditional marinade is a mixture of oil, acid and onion. You can use any oil, without a pronounced aroma, it will cover the meat with a film that will not allow it to dry out during frying, so it will remain juicy. Dry wine, vinegar or is used as an acid. The onions will enhance the taste. You can use spices.

1. Sausages, sausages

Sausages are useful for making sandwiches and as a snack. And if they are cooked on coals, they will serve as the main dish.

If you do not plan to build a fire and fry on it, give up boiled sausage, because in the open air it quickly becomes weathered and unattractive. For sandwiches, it is worth buying ready-made cuts.

Sausages and wieners are ideal for charcoal cooking. They can be cut and fried, laid out on a grill or put on a skewer.

1. A fish

Fish can be cooked at home. Better take the fillet - this will save you from fussing with the bones. It can be made in batter or breading.

Grilled fish comes out delicious. Catfish, cod, carp, mackerel, catfish, sturgeon, trout, salmon and salmon are suitable for grilling.

It is better to marinate fish at home. No fat is needed for pickling - lemon juice, soy sauce or white wine, and spices are enough.

1. Vegetables and fruits

Ideal foods for nature are vegetables. They can be eaten raw, used in salads, or grilled over charcoal. Wash them well before taking them on a picnic.

Potatoes can be taken raw and then baked in coals, cooked on a skewer, or boiled in their jackets at home.

Cabbage, onions, herbs, cucumbers, radishes and bell peppers are suitable for making salads. Delicious mushrooms, eggplants, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes are obtained on coals. They can be cooked on the grill or in the form of kebabs.

1. Grilled or grilled vegetables

Grilling vegetables is easy. Make a marinade at home by combining olive oil with a little wine vinegar, salt and black pepper. For a picnic, chop the vegetables, toss them with the marinade, and let sit for 1/4 hour. Oil the grate and fry the vegetables. 7 minutes is enough for each side.

Vegetables may or may not be pickled. If you are cooking eggplants, they should be chopped, salted and left for 20 minutes to get rid of bitterness. Sprinkle pieces of vegetables, fry, put in a dish and season with sauce. You can choose the sauce according to your taste. A mixture of balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic and olive oil is combined with vegetables.

To prepare it, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp. olive oil, the same amount of lemon juice and Italian herbs.

Canned food is not a mandatory option for nature, but you can use it if you are not going to cook over a fire. You can take canned fish, seafood and peas with you.

1. Bread and pastries

Many cannot do without bread, so it must be taken. Take at the rate of 1/2 loaf for 1 person. Flat cakes and pita bread are suitable for a picnic. You can take hamburger buns, hot dogs and stuff them on the spot.

Closed meat or cheese pies will also go. Children will love sweet pastries - cookies, biscuits without cream and buns.

1. Water and drinks

Water is useful not only for quenching thirst, but also for washing hands. You can take a thermos with coffee or tea, juice and compote for a picnic.

Other products

In nature, you need salt. Vegetable oil and sauces will not hurt - you can cook it yourself or buy ready-made ones and spices.

To protect yourself and loved ones, get a thermal bag or make one like it. To do this, freeze water, mineral water or other drinks that you plan to take on a picnic in plastic bottles. Before collecting a bag for nature, line its bottom and sides with a thick cloth or towel, place bottles with frozen liquid, and put food on top. When it's time to sit down at the table, you will get not only fresh food, but also nice cool drinks.

Picnic salads

Most picnic salads are best dressed on site. Some of them are worth cooking in nature, for example, tomato salad. This will preserve the freshness, taste and appearance.
