• You should not attach special importance to tablecloths, this is not the main component of the New Year's table. The tablecloth should be well ironed and distributed on the table so that its edges do not hang by more than 30 cm;
• You need to start serving with the arrangement of the dishes, and only then the cutlery;
• The colors of the napkins should play against the background of the tablecloth;
• Glasses should be placed to the right of the plate;
• Using additional decorative elements, when setting the table, it is worth considering and adhering to the general composition.

Happy New Year!

The closer the long-awaited holiday, the more the hostesses are puzzled about what to cook for the New Year's table in order to please the host of the holiday - the Fiery Rooster.

What is the best New Year's menu for 2017? The rooster is a serious bird, he is for naturalness and simplicity. Therefore, the dishes should not be complicated to prepare, and the food itself should not be heavy and greasy. There should be wooden dishes on the table, in which millet or millet is poured. Let's take a look at simple recipes that are perfect for the New Year's table in the Year of the Rooster.

Appetizers and salads in the New Year's menu 2017

When preparing snacks and salads, preference should be given to colorful foods such as:

• orange carrots, oranges, tangerines
• red tomatoes, pomegranate
• green cucumbers, peppers, kiwi
• yellow bananas, pineapple

An excellent option - everyone's favorite "herring under a fur coat" and salad "Olivier". Would you like to try cooking something unusual? For you - a recipe for boiled fish salad.

"New Year's mood" salad

This delicious and hearty salad is being prepared from an affordable fish - from blue whiting. It will take a few minutes to cook, but you can have a snack with such a salad at lunch or serve it as a light dinner. Another prohibition for the 2017 New Year's table is chicken eggs. But they can be easily replaced with quail. Or simply cut in small amounts into a salad.
