Table setting for New 2017

The main colors of the Fire Rooster are crimson red, scarlet and bright yellow. Therefore, when thinking about what to cook for the New Year 2017, do not forget about how to decorate the table for the New Year: choose exactly these shades. Crockery, tablecloth, New Year's drinks 2017 - everything must match the Rooster's favorite colors.

Table decoration for the New Year of the Rooster is, first of all, glass or porcelain dishes, but not plastic ones! If you have an elegant service, for example, with a Gzhel painting, it's time to put it as a table decoration for the New Year of the Rooster.

A very important part of table setting for the new 2017 is candles. It is very beautiful when they are placed next to each device. If you do not want so much living fire, put at least one beautiful candle in the center of the table, this will help solve the question of how to decorate the table for the New Year 2017.

Table setting for the New Year 2017 can be done in a rustic style - linen tablecloth, dry bouquets, fruit decorative compositions, spikelets, bundles of straw, bundles of bagels, onions and red peppers ...

How to decorate a table for the New Year? There is a simple and effective move: put a beautiful vase in the center of the table, and in it - a couple of spruce branches decorated with red toys. Another successful table decoration for the New Year of the Rooster is cute scarlet Christmas trees that can be placed near each device: guests will be pleased!

Thinking over the table setting for the New 2017, remember: the tablecloth is not at all the main attribute, so it should not draw attention to itself. A simple white tablecloth is enough - clean and ironed, the edges of which hang down by 20-40 cm.

Napkins can become a real table decoration for the New Year of the Rooster if you choose them in a contrasting red color: it will look bright and tempting!

When deciding how to decorate the table for the New Year, involve children in this activity. Perhaps, together with them, you will decide to lay out beautiful gift mittens or socks with New Year's symbols near the appliances.

But, of course, the main secret of a cheerful holiday is still not a rich table and not even original recipes for the New Year 2017, but a good mood, hospitality and a lot of music!

So it's time to do what you love - to prepare a selection of recipes for the New Year's menu. It is better to think over everything in advance, make a list of dishes, purchase ingredients, so that later you do not hang around for hours in queues.

This time, the selection of photo recipes will be interesting, since 2017 is the year of the fiery rooster, and this obliges us to something. I will not say that I earnestly believe in all sorts of such signs. Rather, it's just a game - to create a menu for the New Year's table that, no, no, yes, and will help you spend the coming 2017 happier, luckier and more fun!

And everything disposes to that. Let's see what kind of Fire Rooster he is, that he loves and pamper him and ourselves. Let's check which gastronomic moves Petya doesn't approve of. This year we'll have to pretend we don't eat chicken. Yes, I really won't cook chicken, turkey and traditional duck with apples.

In the casting of recipes for the 2017 New Year's menu, I checked whether the dish falls under these simple requirements:

• The dish should be bright and elegant, like the rainbow plumage of a bird.
• The recipe should be simple and accessible - after all, the rooster is not an exotic bird, dear
• No birds on the menu
• Mandatory - a dish of cereals (pie, cake, beans in salads, etc.)
• More recipes with vegetables.

These were the requirements that the "year of the rooster" dictates. Now I will add a couple of wishes from myself as a cook:

• All recipes should be simple, since you don't want to smoke at four burners all day.
• If possible - without expensive ingredients, here I agree with the cockerel one hundred percent.

So, if you approve of such "introductory data", read on my selection of photo recipes for celebrating the New Year.

A few simple New Year's salads

A logical continuation - what to do with a fur coat? I think this year - to be a fur coat! Inexpensive, bright, beloved by everyone and does not fall under the sanctions of the Rooster, since there is no chicken meat. By the way, there is no ban on chicken eggs, right?

I have one interesting recipe for a fur coat. I was recently given a very sensible salad variation by friends. It differs in that it contains a minimum of mayonnaise and has an apple. Now I will briefly describe the layers. All ingredients, except for herring and onions, are grated and laid in layers in the following sequence:

1. Boiled potatoes
2. Diced herring or salmon
3. Finely chop the onion (pre-scald with boiling water)
4. Drizzle with some refined vegetable oil
5. Boiled potatoes
6. Light mesh mayonnaise
7. Apple
8. Light mesh mayonnaise
9. Boiled carrots
10. Light mesh mayonnaise
11. Beet.

Note that mayonnaise is only at step 7. I recently tested this fur coat recipe and everyone loved it. The apple fits perfectly, makes the salad spicy and juicy. This is probably my favorite version of the main winter salad now.

New Year's table snacks

The first step is to think about how we can fit the beans recipe on the table. And therefore - just "must have" (English - "must be") on the New Year's table. The recipe meets all our requirements without exception. We take ready-made beans, which significantly speeds up the cooking process. By the way, this appetizer is suitable for both fish and meat feasts.

We will be responsible for the brightness and conviviality. Check out a selection of 15 of the easiest recipes I've personally tested. Buy bright skewers in advance, they will come in handy.

Hot meals

If you have made your choice in favor of fish for the New Year's table, I recommend this simple recipe -.

Here is also a cool thing - the same salmon, but already. The same 15 minutes for cooking.

If you decide to pamper yourself with a main meat dish, then I advise you to draw your attention to this simple one, and at the same time. The main task here is to get the right meat. There is time to search ☺ Lamb is cooked immediately with a side dish, which again saves us from unnecessary standing at the stove.

But I already told you about this luxurious dish - what a new year without?

For dessert

Desserts are usually laborious. For the new year, I would like to do something tasty and quick. I associate the New Year not only with the aroma of tangerines, but also with an apple-cinnamon combination. I found a cool recipe. It cooks very quickly and looks delicious. With a cup of black coffee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it's just a song.

From festive simple sweet recipes, I can recommend this white as snow
