Festive table in a hurry

Recently, I had to assemble a festive table in haste. There was little time for cooking - only 2.5 hours + another 1 hour - for a quick run to the store for everything you need. I did. It turned out very tasty, the guests were satisfied.

I will tell you how you can allocate time, have time to collect the table and not get very tired. And what to cook for guests in a hurry.

What should be on hand

  • Good knives (a sharp small one and 1 large one are enough for me);
  • Cutting board (can be 2);
  • Grater (large and small);
  • Several bowls for cooking and mixing dishes;
  • Spices (which you usually use);
  • Apron;
  • Dishes for table setting (plates-forks-spoons-glasses-glasses-glasses and utensils for tea-coffee: cups-saucers-plates for cake-teaspoons), napkins, a jug for drinks (for compote, juice), tablecloth.
  • Dishes for serving dishes to the table and tablespoons (for laying out salads and other dishes);
  • Utensils for cooking (pots, pans, kettle).

In addition, the house needs clean hand towels, toilet paper, soap. Maybe slippers if you and your guests usually wear them.

I cooked in a foreign country. Therefore, I took with me: an apron, spices (dried basil) and a grater (suddenly not in the house). If you go to cook in someone else's house and are not sure if there are convenient knives there, I advise you to definitely grab your own, proven ones.

What can you buy in the store

We proceed from the fact that time is running out. Therefore, complex salads, for which you need to boil and cut a lot of different ingredients or lay them out in some special way, are not suitable for us. They can be taken, but only ready-made. Yes, I know that ready-made salads are evil, but we have an urgent men's birthday. Here - either everything from the supermarket's cooking, or we still have time to cook some of the dishes ourselves, giving the table a homely look.

With our own hands, we will only do what is prepared quickly. The principle of distribution of forces is as follows:

  1. A few homemade quick and easy meals.
  2. Some prepared food (1-2 salads, 1 meat). This is to guarantee something to feed if we do not have time to cook.
  3. Snacks - something that will be a delicious addition to dishes or diversify the table, but does not require cooking (sausage, cheese, olives, cherry tomatoes, fruits, sweets and other snacks).

I write only what I chose for a particular birthdayfor 7-8 people. And you are guided by the situation.

Shopping list

Of the spices, I had only dried basil (in cutlets and cucumbers, but you can do without it). Check if there is salt at home. Otherwise, it must be added to the list.

Ready-to-cook meals

  • Salads with mayonnaise to choose from: – 700-800 g- Olivier (almost a win-win, most of the guests love him, we bought him). Herring under a fur coat is also an option, women love it. You can take any other delicious salad that you have already bought here and are sure of its quality.
  • Meat baked / fried: – piece by piece, according to the number of guests. We took meat in French. Can be replaced or supplemented with chicken thighs or legs (baked in the oven or on the grill). Choose something traditional, beautiful and fresh.
  • Vegetable salads - 400 g(not all of them will). Instead of vegetable salads, we bought 300-400 g of pickled champignons with onions. Options: cabbage salad or sauerkraut if you like spicy: Korean salads (algae, mushrooms, pork ears), Georgian cabbage (large pieces in beetroot juice). Spicy and fresh diversify the taste sensations of guests.

Semi-finished products

  • Minced meat (we have delicious pork and beef, pork and chicken and chicken) - 700-800 g.

canned food

  • pickled cucumbers(gherkins) - 1 bank(not necessarily, we have not opened, and there are so many). You can - pickled tomatoes;
  • Mushrooms (salted are tastier than pickled) - 1 bank. We did not buy, we managed with those from cooking;
  • Olives and olives1 bank;
  • Pineapples - 1 bank(480 g). This is for a salad with cheese and garlic.

Vegetables fruits

  • Cherry tomatoes (fresh) 500 g (packing). Put a whole branch on the table. They are very well eaten between times, like grapes (you can take and / or grapes - both on a salty and sweet table). Choose those cherry tomatoes that sit firmly on a branch, they are fresh (those that have fallen off have been standing for a long time).
  • fresh cucumbers - 5-8 pieces(medium size). This is for quick salted cucumbers;
  • Potato - 2-2.5 kg(a whole cellophane bag);
  • Lemon - 1 piece;
  • Garlic - 1 head;
  • Onion - 2 heads(in salad and cutlets);
  • Dill - beam.
  • Tangerines, grapes, any seasonal fruits and berries. We had 1 kg of tangerines.

Sausage, cheese, minced meat, fish, eggs

  • Boiled sausage (doctor's) - 0,5 a small loaf;
  • Sausage Boyarskaya(type of ham) - 0,5 a small loaf;
  • Cheese Black Prince(Belarusian) - 250 g. The taste is good, traditional;
  • Cheese (some ordinary, like Russian, in a salad) - 100 g;
  • Processed cheese (Friendship or Orbit) - 1 piece;
  • Eggs - 1 ten(large);
  • Herring in oil - 1 package;
  • Mayonnaise (The dream of the hostess turned out to be quite normal) - 1 small package (200 ml);
  • Vegetable oil for frying(you need a little, maybe you have a quarter of a bottle at home).

The drinks

Remember that you always want to drink at a plentiful table and 1 glass of compote or juice will not be enough for a guest (consider that everyone will drink 2-3 glasses).

  • Alcohol: wine, martini, vodka - whatever you like. We have 1 bottle each: white and red wine (dry and semi-sweet), martini bianco. We drank a little, but everyone had a choice. Focus on your company.
  • Juice - 2-4 liters(orange, grapefruit, apple, multifruit, tomato) - whatever you like. You can - a three-liter jar of homemade compote.
  • Mineral water - 2 bottles 1.5 liters each.
  • Tea - package. Perhaps coffee (we got by with regular Ahmad tea);
  • Sugar - package lumpy (refined) or 0.5 kg of ordinary bulk.

Hercules or semolina- it lies right next to it (you will need a couple of handfuls in cutlets). I took a package of hercules, then the owners will cook porridge from the leftovers.

Sweet

  • Cake - 1 piece(we had 800 g of honey and sour cream, the most common, similar to homemade).
  • Candies - 500 g. I bought by weight, 3 types - Gulliver (cool, large), Mishka (good) and some ordinary ones. You can just a box or do without sweets.

Bread

Take everything in slices, remember that we have no time.

  • Black or custard - 1 loaf / loaf;
  • White bread or loaf - 1 piece.

What dishes were on the table (menu)

  • Cutlets (cooked) - 12-14 pieces came out (depending on size);
  • Meat in French - 7 pieces;
  • Salad Olivier - a large salad bowl;
  • Pineapple salad with cheese and garlic (cooked) - 1 medium salad bowl;
  • Stuffed eggs - 2 plates, Jewish cream cheese salad with garlic (cooked);
  • Sliced ​​(sausage 2 types and cheese) - 2 plates;
  • Olives and olives;
  • Herring with onions;
  • Pickled champignons;
  • Mashed potatoes). I did it with olive oil, there was no cream or sour cream at home. It came out delicious.
  • Cherry tomatoes;
  • Korean-style tomatoes (cooked in advance).

Procedure

    Stewed cutlets

    Hard boil eggs- Cook 9 pieces, the tenth raw - in minced meat. Put in cold water, bring to a boil, cook for 10-12 minutes. Cool in cold water.

  • Prepare minced meat for meatballs: Break 1 egg into minced meat, add oatmeal (1/2 or 2/3 cup), grate a couple of garlic cloves (fine grater) and 1 onion (large grater) into it. Add a pinch of basil. Salt. Knead. Let it stand while we peel the potatoes - just the flakes will swell, absorb excess moisture.
  • Salted cucumbers cook and then peel potatoes(put in water, set to boil 40-50 minutes before the guests arrive). Quick preparation of salted cucumbers in slices: wash, cut off the tips. Cut each cucumber in half and rugs into 4 slices. Slices (as they are cut) are thrown into a container or jar and salted on top. A few sprigs of dill and 2-3 cloves of garlic - chop, add to the cucumbers. Close the lid and shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes. Then leave at room temperature until serving (under a tightly closed lid). You can shake it periodically (when you remember them - shake them, they will be better salted).

    Pickled cucumbers

  • fry cutlets- heat the oil in a frying pan, form cutlets and fry them on both sides until a small crust appears. Fried - put in a pan, at the bottom of which a layer of oil is poured. When all the cutlets are in the pan, add 2/3 cups of cool water, cover with a lid (or slightly open it if there is no steam outlet in the lid so that the water gradually evaporates) and simmer over low heat until cutlet smells appear (30 minutes) . Be careful not to burn.
  • Eggs stuffed with salad

    Stuff eggs- Peel hard-boiled eggs, cut in half. Take out the yolks, mash them with a fork. Add finely grated: processed cheese and 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped onion (1/2 head). Mix. Season with a little mayonnaise. Stuff the eggs with the resulting salad (in 1 egg - 1 teaspoon with top). It is not necessary to tamp, let them be with a slide. I decorated with dill and a piece of sweet pepper (yes, we didn’t buy it, I found it in the owner’s refrigerator, but this is not necessary). 4 eggs fit on a dessert plate (7 halves in a circle + 1 in the center), I had 9 (18 halves), the extra was squeezed in somehow. Before serving, each plate can be placed in a plastic bag (so that the bag does not come into contact with the eggs from above, let air in). And refrigerate until serving.

  • Cut sausage and cheese. I cut the sausage loaf lengthwise into 2 parts and then into thin semicircles across the loaf. You probably cut the same way. Put the cuts on plates, insert them into bags and also put them in the refrigerator so that the cuts do not deteriorate and do not get windy.
  • Making Pineapple Salad. Put pineapples in a bowl (pieces or cut rings into slices), grate cheese (hard, like Russian) there - a coarse grater, garlic (2 cloves) - a fine grater. Closer to serving, mix, season with mayonnaise.

Along the way, you need to set the table - entrust this to someone from home or run around yourself in between cooking. Set a table, cover with a tablecloth, arrange plates, lay out napkins (put additional ones in a napkin holder), forks. Put glasses and glasses. Bring drinks to the table. Put the bread on a plate (cover with a napkin or also put it in a bag for now).

  • Assemble the table: gradually lay out all the prepared dishes in salad bowls and plates and transfer to the table. You can immediately put bowls with olives and olives (they will not deteriorate); pickled cucumber-tomatoes; put the herring in the herring box, add the onion cut into semicircles to it (half of the stuffed eggs remained). Cutlets will just reach, potatoes will be cooked (drain water, salt, add oil, ceiling). I also cut a lemon for tea (I sprinkled the circles with sugar to make it tastier, but - whoever likes it). Remove salads and cuts from the refrigerator right before guests arrive so that they do not spoil.

Everything! Bon Appetit!

Quick holiday table in haste.

We were lucky to be among those invited to a real village wedding! Enjoyed a lot! It felt like we were back in the dashing nineties! Firstly, this event was celebrated not in a cafe, as is now customary, but at home, in a hut specially built for this purpose, which was a huge tent with tables and benches inside. Secondly, almost all local residents were invited to visit. Restless cooks, racing with each other, rushed from the kitchen to the tent, bringing more and more new dishes, which already stood on the tables in two tiers. What was there just was not even counted! And how delicious! “This is our signature salad, it is prepared for all events, in every home,” a woman sitting next to me whispered in my ear. "You should definitely try it," she added, which we, in fact, did. Honestly, the salad is so tasty that it is very difficult to stop eating it, moreover, all the necessary products for its preparation are almost always at hand, in every home. Interested? If so, come on in and enjoy!

If the holiday "caught by surprise" and it is not possible to spend a lot of time preparing a variety of culinary masterpieces, you can always use a number of quick and delicious recipes for holiday dishes. It is worth adding such recipes to your culinary "arsenal" - and you will always be "fully armed" for any holiday.

Quick hot recipes for the holiday table

Of course, no festive feast is complete without hot dishes. But what if the guests are already on the doorstep, and there is simply no time to cook the same, for example, traditional fried chicken? The answer is simple - there are a surprising number of quick hot pot recipes that will literally take 20-30 minutes. These are, for example, unusual "pancakes" of spaghetti with mushrooms, herbs and cheese - the dish looks appetizing and is prepared extremely simply. In case of force majeure, you can store a pack or two of egg noodles in the kitchen cabinet, which is prepared very quickly: in this case, an original Asian-style dish can be served at the festive table. A quick recipe is good not only because it takes 15-20 minutes to cook, but also because when preparing such a festive hot dish, you can fantasize endlessly, adding any greens that are in the refrigerator, utilizing any the remaining pieces of meat.

Quick and delicious sweet recipes for the holiday

Something, and all kinds of desserts for the festive table can really be cooked in haste - there would be only the right ingredients. And first of all, such an option for quick sweet dishes on the festive table is all kinds of cakes without baking. For most recipes for such cakes, even ready-made cakes will not be required - just ordinary cottage cheese, sour cream and cookies and some frozen berries or jam will be enough.




If ready-made “shop” cakes are at hand, it’s absolutely wonderful: in a matter of minutes, you can prepare a quick and tasty cake with the most delicate coconut cream for the festive table. However, ready-made cakes for making truly delicious homemade “pseudo baking” are not needed at all - you can use, for example, the most ordinary gingerbread. The finished "gingerbread" cake turns out no worse than the "store" one. If time allows, then you can prepare a chocolate-coconut roll without baking in advance for the holiday: it is made quickly and simply from the available ingredients (cookies, coconut, chocolate), but until ready, a delicious dessert will have to be “frozen” in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.




If you show a little imagination, then without baking you can cook not only a birthday cake, but also a great many desserts. So, for example, the Delight dessert will become an excellent table decoration without any effort and time: in the “baskets” of chocolate chip cookies there is an airy and very tender mass of cottage cheese and strawberries (berries can be used both fresh and frozen). From the same chocolate cookies and condensed milk, you can also make the well-known Potato cakes. If there is nothing at all at hand except cottage cheese, eggs and sour cream, you can serve an original cottage cheese casserole to the festive table, for the preparation of which neither flour nor semolina is required. Simple and very tasty, this casserole resembles a classic cheesecake in texture and taste.

Quick Holiday Dinner Recipes

In order for the festive table to abound with a variety of dishes, it is not at all necessary to spend the whole day in the kitchen - it will be enough to use a couple of recipes for quick holiday snacks. Treat your gathering to miniature pâté canapés, cream cheese and herb rolls or Raffaello cheese with walnuts and garlic, perfect with wine and other festive spirits.

Of course, the more original the appetizer will look, the better - after all, it is the design of the festive dishes that differ, first of all, from the “every day” menu. Even the most ordinary sprat sandwiches can be a great option for a holiday snack if you spend an extra 5 minutes decorating them. The appetizer with the speaking name “Tomato Salad” also looks very nice - the most remarkable thing is that it only takes 10 minutes maximum to prepare. And in the same 10-15 minutes, from the leftovers that are found in the refrigerator, it will be possible to cook a traditional quick snack - stuffed eggs (the main thing is to find something to stuff them with).

Not only snacks, but also salads can be prepared literally from everything that you can find in the kitchen - if there is no time left to go to the store, you can cook, for example, the original warm buckwheat salad. And if there are any canned fish in the house, the number of available options for holiday salads immediately increases tenfold. A salad made from a jar of canned tuna with eggs and cheese will turn out to be very tasty and festive. In addition, from any canned fish, if time permits, you can quickly prepare a variation of the classic holiday salad “under a fur coat” from potatoes, gherkins, beets, chicken eggs.




If the holiday really “caught by surprise” and there are no ingredients at all for preparing some festive snacks or desserts at home, “lazy” pies with minced meat will be an excellent option - for example, the original meatball pie or a hearty and delicious lavash cake “Men's Joy” ". And even if the list of available products is limited to the same pita bread, sour cream, milk and eggs, it will be possible to prepare a quick “lazy” pie with cheese filling for the festive table.
