Have a delicious New Year!

As everyone already knows, the upcoming 2019 Year will be held under the sign of the Yellow Earth Pig. And therefore, according to the already established tradition, we began to take this fact into account when preparing for the solemn day.

We are trying to find out better what to expect from the coming period. We read horoscopes, trying to figure out how the Symbol of the next 365 days can affect our lives. And of course, we first of all prepare for the celebration, considering what the Master of the Year loves! To placate him, and to help make the next segment of our life successful in all respects for us!

And for this we select the appropriate festive outfit for ourselves. We purchase necessary and beautiful gifts for friends and relatives, and of course we set a beautiful festive table.

And there is not a single hostess or host who would not ask himself the question "What to cook for the festive table?" After all, this question is by no means rhetorical. We will all put on aprons on December 30, 31 and settle down in our kitchen for a long time. After all, you need to have time to prepare appetizers, salads, main dishes and desserts.

And in order not to forget anything, and not to cook anything superfluous, it is necessary to draw up a menu in advance. It will help you plan what you need to buy. Purchase in advance what can be stored for a long time, and buy perishable food the day before.

When drawing up a menu for the Year of the Yellow Pig, it is necessary to take into account some peculiarities. Let's consider the wishes for the holiday menu.

• Firstly, Pig is omnivorous, which means we will cook completely different and delicious dishes.
• secondly, the Boar is not against different types of meat, and he will be happy with beef, lamb, chicken, fish and seafood. Do not forget that we are not serving pork in any form this evening.
• thirdly, the image of the Master of the Year in the design of dishes will be very useful.
• fourthly, the bright, colorful design of the dishes will delight Piggy. Who will refuse when such a holiday is arranged in his honor?
• fifth, the dishes should be homemade, tasty and cooked with love. It is always more pleasant to deal with a calm domestic pig than with a hungry angry boar.
• sixth, do not abuse strong drinks. And then by chance you can fall asleep at the table, burying your face in the salad. And then everyone will not compare you with the Pig in the best way !!!

However, it is possible to carry out the outgoing year with dignity. To say thank you to the owner of the passed segment of life - to thank the Yellow Dog for all the good that she did for us. Therefore, it can be carried out by making a small salad with her image.

Here are the basic wishes for the menu. If you manage to comply with them, then it will be just great! The Boar and the Pig will not disregard this. They will understand that we show this respect and respect to them.

Well, that's good for us too. We also want our festive table to be beautiful and tasty "home-style" set. Therefore, in this, our desires coincide with him!

Let me offer you options for dishes, from which you can create an excellent menu for your table without much hassle and long searches.

Happy New Year! And let your festive table be the best!

There are only a few weeks left until the main holiday of children and adults, and if you have not yet begun to prepare for it, now is the time to think about how exactly you will celebrate the New Year.

The festive atmosphere does not appear on its own - you need to apply both imagination and your golden hands to it. And in order to enter next year with luck in your pocket, you should arrange the table on the eve of 2017 in accordance with the “preferences” of its patron.

The symbolism of 2017 of the Fire Rooster and the basic rules in decorating the New Year's table

In the coming year, the Fire Rooster reigns. And the design of the table (and the house as a whole) should be carried out based on the "specifics" of this symbol.

The key colors in which we choose the decor for the holiday are all shades of red, orange and gold.

Do not spare shiny things - more sparkle, contrast and brightness!

As for the choice of dishes - here the Rooster is modest and unpretentious.

Dishes can be prepared simple and unpretentious (we turn on the imagination exclusively on their design), and, of course, exclusively natural:

• Light meals, more cereals and vegetables.
• Pickles and herbs laid out on a tray.
• Slicing on mini sandwiches.
• Homemade baked goods.
• Liqueurs, aromatic wines, berry liqueurs.

The Rooster should not be pissed off black and gray shades in decor - we exclude them completely.

The ideal option is to decorate a place of celebration rustic, with embroidered tablecloths, linen napkins and wicker baskets.

However, the choice of style is yours. The main thing is not to forget the basic rules.

DIY decor and decorations for the New Year's table 2017

In the year of the Rooster, any decorations made from natural elements can become decorations on the festive table, handmade.

Particular attention is paid to the pine elements that represent longevity.

Holistic compositions will be effective (size - in accordance with the size of the table) from branches, berries, fruits, pine / spruce paws, Christmas balls etc.

Do not forget about ribbons and rain, decorative snow, cones, ears of corn and branches, bells, nuts, candles and candies, toys and other improvised materials.

We place the largest composition, of course, in the center of the table.

You can fix the elements of the compositions with a stapler, wire, special glue (using a "gun").

For example…

• We fix the tinsel around the perimeter of the New Year's table. At the corners of the table we attach bows with unbreakable Christmas balls or bells. We observe the same style in the design!
• We place thematic figurines on the table (tiny snowmen, for example, chickens or cockerels, small but bright decorative eggs), add romance with the help of candles.
• We install cards made of gold cardboard with their names at the places of "landing" of guests. For each set of dishes - a gift box.
• Place the main composition in the center of the table. You can create it from fir paws and cones covered with artificial snow, a couple of thick candles and fir balls.
  
• The highlight of the 31st to 1st table is cereals, feathers and, of course, flowers. Therefore, if possible, put a composition or a vase with dried flowers, feathers, wheat ears. If you cannot find such elements, you can pour cereals into small bowls and decorate them with spruce branches.
• "Nest". Such a composition must be present on the festive table as a talisman. We replace the grass in the nest with green threads or ribbons, create the nest itself from ribbons or take a ready-made basket without handles, put boiled eggs painted in "gold" or in bright red color into the nest.
  
• It is recommended to put a yellow coin under each plate so that in the year of the Fire Rooster, financial stability accompanies you in all areas of life.
• It's great if you have a samovar! We polish it to a shine, decorate it with a bunch of bagels, set it on an embroidered napkin.
• Do not forget about bunches of sweet onions , wheat ears or hot red pepper.
  

How to decorate and how to decorate cutlery and dishes on the table in the New 2017 Year of the Rooster?

The main rule when decorating a table is to maintain a single style. Remember that the table is not a tree, and keep to the golden mean.

We choose only real dishes! There should be no plastic on the table. The ideal option is Gzhel porcelain, bright antique sets, wooden bowls and ladles, clay dishes.

Every little thing should be special and match a single style, including straws in glasses and skewers.

Decorating the New Year's table 2017 and the room with candles

One of the most important attributes of a festive table is, of course, candles. They always add mystery, romance and celebration. And this year - even more so, because the Fiery Rooster requires a "fiery" design.

What kind of candles and how can you put on the table?

Don't overuse candles! Do not clutter the table space with them. Candles should only emphasize the "very" atmosphere.

Decorating dishes on the New Year's table 2017 Year of the Rooster

How to treat your guests and household members for the holiday - everyone decides for himself.

But you need to proceed from the fact that the Rooster prefers simple and light dishes. Therefore, do not get carried away with delights and overseas dishes - everything is your own, dear, simple and, of course, beautifully designed. The rooster loves braided buns, bagels with tea from a samovar, pies, bundles of onions / peppers, etc.

How to arrange dishes?

It doesn't matter what kind of salad you have in your vase, it is important how it is decorated. And, as you know, there are no limits for fantasy. Therefore, we take ideas from our heads, from the Web, from magazines, etc.

The main thing is that not a single dish is left unattended.

Whatever you cook, decorate with love. And, of course, with the children. More fruits / vegetables, cereals and cereals on the table - Rooster is not a big fan of meat.

And remember, the owner of the next year does not demand anything from us - he himself brings good luck, love and monetary stability.

But they are not forbidden in salads, and in the form of snowmen with skewers (see photo) are quite appropriate. To please the Rooster completely, you can replace the chicken eggs with quail eggs. And for the main course, it is better to take less fat and oil. Snacks with vegetables, herbs and lean meats look great. And you should not overdo it with sharpness.

Pedantry is what distinguishes the owner of the upcoming 2017. He likes the classic, he loves simplicity and appreciates elegance. But no, no, and something extravagant will flash in the usual course of events. So there must be a "zest" on the table!

Quail eggs instead of chicken eggs!

Side dishes, vegetables, cuts, fruits - there should be as many of them on the festive table as possible. And salads are the place! The Rooster does not like heavy meals. Not for him, and fried with salty, and strong alcohol. A good idea for a feast is sushi. No meat is needed, so the owner of the year is happy. He loves rice and fish dishes. It is wonderful to decorate the table with dishes from shrimp and other seafood. And stews, casseroles, and fresh vegetables wonderfully harmonize with them in taste. And the jellied fish will not be superfluous.

And for the traditional "Herring under a fur coat" you can make homemade mayonnaise. And to give originality to the dish by serving in the form of a roll or a Christmas tree, put in portions on plates and decorate with herbs.

If you can't do without meat, for example, you are planning a celebration outside the city, in nature, then pots with lamb and vegetables are perfect. Beef and pork are not prohibited. Why not cook a Viennese schnitzel instead of the usual duck or chicken? The rooster may not be too shocked and angry with chicken dishes, but it's better not to risk it.

And there are no prescriptions for desserts. It is only important to take into account that heavy food, like strong degrees, interfere with concentration, and this the future owner of the year will not tolerate.
