Buffet: when is it appropriate and irreplaceable?

It was the practical and sophisticated French who came up with the term "buffet", which means "fork". That is, all the food that is served at the buffet table should fit on one fork. A distinctive feature of the buffet table is that people are not seated at tables, but move freely around the room with a glass and a small plate in their hands, which does not prevent them from feeling comfortable and communicating with each other. Before arranging a buffet table, you need to familiarize yourself with its first rules, one might say, commandments:

• the number of dishes that will be on the tables (plates, glasses, spoons, forks and napkins) should be two or even three times more than the invited guests;

• sometimes it makes sense to buy disposable tableware, but only of the same sample and of decent quality, stylized and aesthetic;
• at the entrance it would be good to arrange a "hospitality table" with an aperitif: champagne, cognac, liqueurs or liqueurs;

• tables with treats should be located so that it is easy and simple to get to them;
• buffet tables should be slightly higher than ordinary kitchen tables: usually their height is slightly more than a meter.

Traditional buffet meals: what snacks are right?

All kinds of cold snacks are very popular on the buffet table: small sandwiches, multi-layered canapes, stuffed vegetables, and especially rolls and mini-rolls with various fillings.

Not a single buffet table is complete without exquisitely decorated cuts of meat and sausages, cheese plates, and fruit platters.

Beautifully designed tartlets with different fillings, various sandwiches, snacks on skewers, slices or chips - all this will not only become part of a wonderful menu for any occasion, but also perfect for any corporate event, business reception or a friendly party.

If you want to have a fun holiday, be sure to arrange for alcoholic drinks in advance. Basically, guests at the buffet table are offered champagne, table wines, a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

What shouldn't be served at the buffet table?

According to the rules of the buffet table, all dishes and snacks that are served on it must be "for one bite", that is, they are decorated very concisely, but succinctly and compactly. At the buffet table, they are not at all welcome:

• a variety of first courses, in particular soups, at least in their usual serving;
• traditional hot dishes - potatoes, meat, roasts, all kinds of stews and casseroles - are strongly discouraged. It should be convenient for the guest to put snacks on the plate and eat them with only one fork;

• fish should be thoroughly deboned and thinly sliced: guests should not feel discomfort when picking their hands in a plate in order to separate bones from flesh;
• puff salads in traditional salad bowls are not allowed at the buffet table: there are many other ways to serve your favorite, sauced dishes at such an event.

Cold appetizers for the holiday: a tribute to the classics

Basically, the buffet table consists of cold snacks, which should be light, unobtrusive, for every taste. At the same time, they should be portioned so that guests do not have to cut or divide the dish, trying to take a piece for themselves.

Before a buffet table, you should carefully think over the menu and serve universal snacks that will be good both cold and hot, since it is not customary to warm up food at such an event. The food should be in harmony with the drinks offered to the guests. So, we offer you several popular and proven options for buffet meals.

Hcut and rolls for the festive table

Traditionally, at the buffet table, it is customary to serve a variety of cuts: meat, vegetables, cheese and fruit platter. Sliced \u200b\u200bdishes look very nice, especially if you don't just put meat and sausages on the dish, but combine them with other products, such as olives, wrap them in rolls, or string them on skewers.

The cheese plateau looks very advantageous: several types of cheese are cut in various ways: hard cheese is cut in plates or triangles, and soft cheeses are cut into cubes.

It is customary to put grapes, honey and nuts on the dish along with cheese: these products are in perfect harmony with each other.

Cold appetizers for the festive table in the form of rolls are not only nutritious, but also very beautiful dishes that diversify and make the menu of any feast original. You can make such rolls from almost any product: lavash, cheese, fish, zucchini, pieces of meat or ham, as well as wrap all kinds of filling in pancakes, omelette and crab sticks.

The most popular rolls at buffets are:

• cheese rolls with meat or mushroom filling;
• ham rolls with "Jewish" salad and herbs;
• rolls of pita bread or puff pastry (meat, red fish, caviar, processed cheese with salmon or mushrooms are suitable as a filling);

• zucchini or cucumber rolls stuffed with pasty cream cheese;

• herring rolls with chopped gherkins or Korean carrots as a filling. This option for serving herring looks much more original and festive than a banal fillet, cut into pieces, and is eaten by guests in a matter of minutes.

Very unusual is a cheese roll with chicken and mushrooms. To make it you need:

• boil chicken fillet and one chicken egg;
• chop and fry mushrooms;
• chop all the ingredients, mix them and season with mayonnaise, adding a little greens;
• grate 500-700 grams of hard cheese, send it to the microwave or oven for a couple of minutes: the cheese should melt and acquire a viscous, pasty consistency;
• lay a cling film or parchment for baking on the table and "pour" the cheese on it, smoothing the edges with a spoon;
• after waiting for the cheese to dry out a little, evenly distribute the filling on it; \\
• roll a tight roll of cheese;
• wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours;
• nicely cut into circles and serve.

Lavash or omelet rolls are made in the same way. You can wrap any products in them that are in harmony with each other to taste.

Do not forget about fruit slicing: fruits and berries should definitely decorate the buffet table, and they can be served in an original and elegant way:

Sandwiches and canapes

The simplest appetizer at a buffet table is sandwiches. You can cook countless numbers of them and they will all be completely and irrevocably eaten, the main thing is to serve them beautifully and effectively, using a variety of products for cooking. It is convenient to use different breads as a basis for them:

• white toast - for club sandwiches, sandwiches with caviar, red and white fish;

• black - for sandwiches with herring, bacon and pickles;

• crackers - used to serve canapes: cheese with olives and herbs is served on savory ones, on sweet ones - sweet cream with berries.

Potato pancakes are suitable as a basis for sandwiches: any salted fish is good with them. Even simple foods such as black bread, lettuce, cream cheese, small tomatoes and olives can be used to make very effective and mouth-watering sandwiches.

Take note of a few more extraordinary ways to make canapes.

Snacks on skewers and tartlets

The simplest ones, however, are no less tasty for this, are cold snacks served in tartlets. You can bake them yourself, or you can buy them ready-made in any store. These small baskets can be filled with any salad, garnished with a sprig of parsley or a few eggs, and an original, delicious appetizer is ready.

The following combinations are great as fillings for tartlets:

• processed cheese and seafood;
• liver, carrots and pickled cucumbers;
• chicken, prunes and fresh cucumber;
• cheese with garlic and olives;
• smoked meat or chicken and pickled mushrooms.

These snacks can be served in a different way by placing them on large potato chips of the same size, or alternatively on savory crackers.

The most popular food for the buffet table is the skewer snacks, as they are very convenient to eat and very easy to prepare.

You can put any products that go well with each other on the skewers. On them you can string meat cubes, thin slices of ham and cheese, miniature pickled mushrooms and gherkins, cheese with grapes, as well as various seafood - mussels, shrimps and others.

The appetizer is very original and tasty "Taste of Italy", and it is very simple to prepare. For this you will need:

• 200 g mozzarella in small balls;
• 2 sprigs of cherry tomatoes;
• a bunch of green basil;
• a handful of dried basil.

Remove the mozzarella from the brine, dry and roll in dried herbs. A tomato, a leaf of green basil and a mozzarella ball are strung on a skewer.

Stuffed dishes at the buffet

Stuffed dishes are an excellent option for cold appetizers, because many products "lend themselves" to stuffing, the contents of which can be taken out and filled with something tasty, resulting in an appetizer with a harmonious, refined taste. An excellent option for a cold holiday snack will be:

• eggs stuffed with canned salmon and garnished with red caviar;

• tomatoes stuffed with crab salad;
• halved sweet bell pepper, cored, filled with any salad.

An original and elegant snack that will decorate any table is "Fly agaric". To prepare it you will need:

• a few cherry tomatoes, cut in half;
• 200 g ham;
• 2 boiled eggs;
• 100 g of cheese;
• 1 large cucumber;
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise or sour cream.

Stages of preparing a snack:

• in a separate dish, mix the diced ham, grated cheese and eggs;
• dressing the salad with sauce;
• cut the cucumber into rings of medium size;
• collect the fly agarics: first put the cucumber rings on a flat dish, put the balls on them, which we "roll" from the ham-cheese salad, and on the balls we place the tomato halves - the caps of our mushrooms.

In order for the appetizer to take on a finished, believable look, you need to put dots of mayonnaise on the caps of the fly agarics.

Mini baked goods: what to serve at the buffet table?

Baking is very welcome at the buffet table, but all of it should be in mini-format: if pies, then miniature, if pies, then cut into tiny portions. Eclairs with cheese and liver filling and small puff buns, which can be stuffed with any salads, are very relevant.

At the buffet table, it is customary to serve pancakes stuffed with everything you like, in several serving options:

• fold the pancake greased with filling into a roll, cut into small pieces, decorate with herbs, caviar;
• we fold the spring roll with a neat envelope;
• put the minced meat in the middle of the pancake, collect the edges to form a bag, and connect the ends with a feather of green onions.

Today muffins are very popular at buffets - miniature muffins with or without filling. Such an appetizer successfully replaces even a cake, because you can serve several options for muffins and guests will try them all.

Hot dishes for a buffet table

Although the format of such a holiday as a buffet table does not imply heating food, it is necessary to have a hot meal at such an event. Ideal as hot dishes:

• kebabs on bamboo sticks from chicken or pork;

• mini-kebabs of mussels, shrimps or chicken hearts;
• julienne from chicken or seafood in portioned bowls or tartlets;

• meat rolls with various fillings (mushrooms, ham, cheese, bacon);
• as a side dish at the buffet table, you can serve boiled young potatoes, sprinkled with herbs and skewered.

For a buffet table, fondue is perfect: in a sauce container, hard or processed cheese is heated and brought to a liquid consistency, to which you can add herbs and spices. Anything can be dipped in such a sauce: small sausages, cubes of sausage and cheese, croutons, miniature potatoes, pastries.

Recipes for "trendy" snacks for buffets: modern ways of serving dishes

Over time, not only new recipes for buffet meals become popular, but also the ways of serving them are improving.

Snacks in transparent glasses : a very trendy treat for even the most sophisticated buffets. You can put everything in a glass: from thick sauces (guacamole, sour cream with garlic and dill, eggplant pulp, mashed with herbs, garlic and cheese, to creamy soups).

In such glasses, you can dip skewers with lightly salted herring strung on them, boiled or baked meat, ham, croutons with vegetables.

Surprise guests with original presentation of simple products, prepare a snack "Chinese chopsticks". To prepare it, you will need a package of ordinary straws and 300 g of red slightly salted salmon. The fish is cut into the finest slices and overlapped onto each straw. If necessary, the base of the straw can be tied with a green onion feather.

In the same way, you can serve thinly sliced \u200b\u200bham and salami, and use cheese sticks instead of straws. These sticks are served by placing them in glasses.

Club sandwiches - unusual sandwiches from familiar products. They are prepared from toast bread and any ingredients (ham, meat, fresh cucumbers, processed cheese and others). It is noteworthy that such a sandwich is a "multi-storey", closed top with bread, and cut into several small triangles. Sometimes they use tiny buns for their preparation.

And, of course, rolls are an insanely popular appetizer that has become just a trend at modern buffets.

Table design options for a buffet table

To make your buffet table unforgettable, you need to come up with imagination not only to the preparation of dishes, but also to the design of the festive table. So, here are some tips to help you create an unusual, original holiday:

• to save space on the festive table and in order to create the effect of abundance, use special multi-storey dishes, that is, put snacks in tiers so that it is easy to take them;

• for a buffet table, white or light linen tablecloths decorated with lace or classic cotton tablecloths with or without delicate embroidery are relevant: it is easiest to choose dishes for such a tablecloth, moreover, it will suit any format of the celebration;
• actively use glasses and glasses for table setting: not only for drinks, but also for snacks, in particular salads and desserts. Glasses can successfully replace plates and salad bowls, and it looks very impressive;

bbc.co.uk

Ingredients

For buns:

• 800 g flour;
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 15 g of fast-acting yeast;
• 400 ml of milk;
• 60 g butter;
• 2 eggs.

For filling:

• 400 g of a mixture of chopped dried fruits, nuts and sugar;
• 1 apple;
• 1 pear;
• 75 g chopped pistachios;
• 100 g of candied fruits;
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For glaze:

• 3 tablespoons of apricot jam;
• 200 g icing sugar;
• grated zest of one orange;
• 40 g candied fruits;
• 25 g chopped pistachios.

Preparation

Pour salt and yeast into the flour. Place the butter in the milk and heat the mixture. When the butter is melted, pour the mixture into the flour. Add eggs and stir.

Place the mixture on a floured surface and knead for about five minutes, until the dough is elastic. Transfer it to a greased bowl with vegetable oil, cover with a towel and let it rise for an hour.

Meanwhile, combine the mixture of dried fruit, nuts and sugar, peeled and chopped apple and pear, orange zest, pistachio, candied fruit and cinnamon.

Then, on a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 50 × 45 cm layer. Brush with melted butter. Then spread the sweet filling over the dough, leaving 2 cm around the edges.

Roll gently and cut off the edges. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 15 pieces. Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet to create a Christmas tree. There should be space between the buns, but very little so that, when they rise, they touch each other. Form the trunk of a tree from the remains of the dough.

Cover the tree with a clean towel and let sit for another 30–45 minutes. Then remove the towel and place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 190 ° C for 20-25 minutes, until the buns are browned. If you notice that they turn brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil.

In a saucepan, melt the apricot jam with a little water. Grease slightly cooled buns with it and leave to cool completely.

Combine the icing sugar, orange peel and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag, cut off the tip and glaze the garlands on the tree. Sprinkle with candied fruits and pistachios.
