We hope that you liked the presented recipes and you have chosen what you will treat your family and guests to on New Year's Eve. With coming!

There is nothing left until the most joyful event of winter - the New Year 2018. This period will be held under the strict supervision of the new mistress - the Yellow Dog. So, it's time to talk about how exactly to please the symbol of the next 12 months, in order to be the happiest and luckiest person on the planet for all 365 days. The easiest way to achieve the desired goal is through a festive feast. To do this, on the New Year's table there should be only those treats that will undoubtedly please the Dog.

Features of the upcoming event

Since we are talking about a rather rational and loving creature that reveres simplicity, festive dishes should be tasty, satisfying and consist of vegetables or meat. Suitable drinks are: wine, coffee and tea. In fact, the Dog is far from being a picky creature, and therefore any delicacy is considered tasty and suitable for it.

To please the guests of the future celebration, you should cook a steak with berry sauce, barbecue or any other meat delicacy. The children's menu can be similar, only less greasy and steamed.

Since the coming year will pass under the supervision of the Earth Dog, the color of this period is considered yellow and brown. In cooking, these same shades should be used to select specific products and the finished result. The following ingredients fit perfectly into most dishes:

nuts;
mushrooms;
any products growing on the ground;
potato;
pepper.

The main element of the feast is, of course, bread. To make this product more fragrant and tasty, add some spices and garlic during its preparation.

Hot dishes

We figured out the basic principles of cooking for such a joyful event, which means it remains to be told what is the appropriate menu for the festive table for the New Year 2018. Depending on the taste and personal preferences of an individual hostess, you can experiment with dishes from pork, lamb, chicken or any another bird.

Meat roast with vegetables

To create such a fragrant and unusually appetizing dish, you should prepare the following list of products:

Cooking steps

We extract the seeds from the cardamom and crush them in a mortar.
Peel the chili pepper, wash and cut into small cubes.
Cut leek, ordinary onion and carrot into rings.
We collect all the vegetables in one bowl, after which we add vinegar, sauce and red wine there. We put the container on the fire and bring to a boil. In this way, the ingredients are marinated until the mixture has completely cooled.
We remove films and veins from the meat, after which we chop into small but neat pieces. Add lamb to vegetables so that it is soaked in marinade - for about 24-36 hours.
We fry the prepared meat base in ghee, trying to constantly turn each piece over so that it is well fried on all sides.
We send the meat to the oven, heated to 180 degrees for 90 minutes. Then we add the marinade there and return everything to languish for another 3 hours.
So that the finished dish does not cool down before serving, you should take the treat from the place of preparation, cover it with foil and return it to the turned off, but still warm oven.
The slurry in which the dish was prepared is filtered, combined with beef broth and sent to the fire. A little sugar and crushed gingerbread are used as a dressing. Bring the future sauce to a boil, add whipped butter and a little salt to it, then gently mix everything and give a little time to thicken.

The dish is served at the table on a beautiful plate. First, the meat is laid out, poured with fragrant sauce on top, and then sprinkled with chopped herbs.

German baked meat

In order to cook such a popular and unusually tasty European dish for the holiday, you should prepare the liver of the following ingredients:

Cooking steps

The ham should be washed, dried, small cuts should be made around the perimeter, and the whole piece should be stuffed with slices of lard, garlic and carrots. Then rub the meat on all sides with an even layer of salt.
We cut the onion in half rings, not thicker than 4 millimeters. We cover the ham with this ingredient, wrap it tightly in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
After that, the meat must be allowed to warm up at room temperature, then remove the film and onions.
We grease the form with butter, put the meat base on it and tightly wrap the entire structure with strong foil. You can send the ham to the oven for 2-4 hours, for baking at a temperature of 230 degrees (the exact time depends on the weight of the original ingredient).
When 70% of the time is up, you should take the meat out of the oven, remove the foil, pour the whole piece with sour jam, and then return to bake again.

The finished dish is served to the table both hot and cold - at the request of the hostess herself.

Snacks

The basis of the New Year's table are various cold dishes served first of all, along with salads and alcohol. There can be any number of options for such dishes, and most often the hostesses of the feast stop at sandwiches, canapes or artsy cuts.

Tomatoes with cheese and garlic

To make such a simple, but incredibly tasty and fragrant treat, you should have only a few ingredients in the refrigerator:

Cooking steps

We cut the cheese on a coarse grater, after which we combine it with chopped garlic and fatty mayonnaise. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed until a dense homogeneous mass is obtained.
My tomatoes, dry and cut into slices 6 mm thick. We spread the cheese mass on top of each slice, and decorate the finished snack with fresh herbs.

The dish is served chilled to the table.

Salads

No one will argue with the statement that the basis of any successful feast is an abundance of various salads, preferably juicy, tasty and satisfying. Of course, non-replaceable Olivier and herring under a fur coat are considered traditional treats of this format for the holiday, but it would be nice to be able to cook something else - tasty, popular and simple.

Salad with chicken and shrimps

Recipe for a gourmet dish suitable for real gourmets. To create something similar, you will have to take care of the presence of the following ingredients:

Cooking steps

Boil the chicken breast and chop the cooled meat into small cubes.
Shrimps should be boiled, peeled and cut, leaving a few pieces to decorate the finished dish.
Soak prunes in warm water to make them juicy, and then chop them into miniature "spare parts".
Cucumber and pepper are cut very finely.
From chopped dill, mayonnaise, sour cream and mustard, we make gravy, seasoning it with pepper and salt if desired.
It remains only to collect the salad, and since it is served to the table in portions, you need to have a few glass bowls in reserve. So, we collect the dish in layers:
- 1 - chicken;
- 2 - cucumber;
- 3 - gravy;
- 4 - sweet pepper;
- 5 - prunes;
- 6 - refueling;
- 7 - corn;

In the end, all that remains is to sleep on the finished treat with grated cheese and decorate with a sprig of dill and a couple of shrimp.

Salad "Royal"

Very tasty, but a little pricey treat, perfect for any significant event. To prepare it, you need a list of the following ingredients:

Cooking steps

We wash the squids in salted water, then pour them with boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. It is important to match the marked time, otherwise the tender meat of the aquatic inhabitant will become tough and tasteless. It remains only to rinse it from the inside and cut the prepared carcasses into strips.
Boil the eggs, peel and cut into thin strips.
Grind crab sticks.
All the ingredients of the future treat are mixed, dressed with not too greasy mayonnaise and laid out on an elegant dish with a ring. From above the dish is decorated with fresh herbs and caviar.

Sweets

It is impossible to imagine any holiday where there is not a single gram of sweet. The easiest way is to buy in the nearest supermarket something not too expensive, but quite edible and even pretty. But how can something that is cooked by one's own hands compare with an acquired, albeit popular, analogue? It is easy to please adults and children if you bake a delicious cake for the holidays.

Chocolate pistachio cake

A truly colorful and very famous cake that goes well with any drink: tea, coffee, or sweet wine. To create such an interesting and colorful confection, you will have to prepare a considerable list of ingredients.

For cakes:

4 eggs;
75 gr. flour;
75 gr. butter;
75 gr. dark chocolate;
75 gr. Sahara;
30 gr. powdered sugar.

For cream:

250 ml of heavy cream;
50 gr. chocolate-nut paste;
60 gr. milk chocolate;
50 gr. Sahara;
8 gr. gelatin;
sachet of vanilla sugar.

For pistachio cream:

30 gr. ground pistachios;
100 ml of milk;
150 ml of heavy cream;
1 chicken yolk;
30 gr. marzipan;
20 gr. Sahara;
1 st. l. skate;
6 gr. gelatin.

For glaze:

Cooking steps

To begin with, we prepare the cakes. To do this, we separate the whites from the yolks. We cool the first half of the eggs in the refrigerator, and then beat with sugar until a steep foam forms, and add the second half to the chocolate melted in a water bath with butter and powdered sugar. So that the yolks do not boil, we introduce them into the dough only after it has completely cooled.
Add the protein mass to the chocolate base in several portions, gently mixing all the ingredients.
The turn of the sifted flour has come - it should also be introduced little by little, while kneading the resulting result.
The finished dough is poured into a mold greased with butter, and baked in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15 minutes. The baked cake cannot be pulled out of the hot air immediately - let it cool right there.
After complete cooling, cut off the top crust from the cake and soak the base of the cake with sweet syrup: a mixture of impregnation and cognac.
The base for the cake is ready, so you can move it to a special form with high walls.
It's time for the pistachio cream. To prepare it, mix milk with yolk and sugar in a saucepan, and then send the resulting workpiece to the fire. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a thick state.
Before starting work, soak the gelatin in water, and when the cream base has cooled down a bit, add the setting ingredient to it. At the end, it remains only to lay out the cream and a little cognac.
The resulting mass is combined with pistachios crushed in a blender or a special fragrant cream, as well as marzipan rubbed into powder.
All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and continue to remain in a water bath until the cream becomes sufficiently homogeneous and thick.
The finished cream base is placed on top of the already soaked cake, after which you can remove the blank of the future confectionery masterpiece in the refrigerator.
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting. Mix softened chocolate, vanillin and nut paste in one container. Warm cream is also sent here, after which all the ingredients begin to mix thoroughly.
Pour the softened gelatin into the still warm base, then mix everything well again and set aside to cool.
Beat the remaining cream with sugar until fluffy, and then add it to the chocolate cream.
Pour the finished sweet “sauce” on top of the cake and hide everything in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours for full impregnation. After the stated time has elapsed, all that remains is to remove the cake from the mold and pour it on all sides with chocolate icing.
To make a fragrant "gravy", it is necessary to allow the gelatin to swell in 50 ml of water. Then we mix sugar, with honey, cream and water, and then bring the resulting composition to a boil. It remains only to add chopped chocolate and gelatin to the cooled mixture. Ready glaze can be used only after cooling to room temperature - it is poured over the cake.

On top, you can make an interesting decor using whipped cream for the inscription.

Beverages

Usually, not a single New Year's celebration takes place without various alcoholic treats. Most of them are freely available at the nearest supermarket, but why not try to create a delicious and flavorful drink on your own.

Punch

To prepare a real alcoholic drink on your own, and even so fragrant, you will have to take care of the following ingredients:

Cooking steps

Pour boiling water over tea, and then add cinnamon and cloves to it. We insist the learning drink for 5 minutes.
We filter the liquid into a small container, add wine and sugar here, mix all the ingredients and send the saucepan to the fire.
The future alcoholic masterpiece must be heated to 60 degrees, and then add orange and lemon juice to it.

The finished drink is poured into a beautiful decanter and served chilled. For the purpose of an interesting design of wine glasses, their walls are decorated with fresh mint, lemon slices or cherries that are familiar to everyone.

Festive cocktail "New Year's"

Another very tasty drink, perfect for guests of any age and gender. To prepare it, you should prepare the following ingredients:

Cooking steps

We put a small amount of ice in a glass, pieces of canned peaches, cherries, and then pour three main liquids in any amount, trying to adhere to the following rule: 2/3 of the glass should be filled with brandy, liquor and juice.
We fill the glass with champagne to the very edge.
The advantage of this drink lies precisely in the preparation: if desired, it can be made stronger, or vice versa - to reduce the level of intoxicating speed.

You can serve a treat to the table ready-made, or simply put all the ingredients necessary to create a drink on the bedside tables, and then surprise guests with the ability to create such a popular and tasty drink.

In conclusion, it remains only to add that for such an important and responsible event as New Year's Eve, you can cook a variety of treats, based solely on personal preferences or based on the generally accepted norms of a state. The main thing is to find out in advance the recipes of the dishes you like, to understand whether they can be prepared for the holidays, based on your own financial capabilities, and try to make them as an experiment a little earlier - what if it doesn’t work out, or the finished result turns out to be not so delicious?

New Year's table setting basics

The main solemn attribute after the Christmas tree, of course, is the New Year's table. Its design should not only be beautiful, but also have maximum convenience.

Tablecloth and decorative elements

It is best to choose a plain canvas made of dense natural material. Woolen or linen fabrics are perfect.

The dog will like the following colors:

Brick;
Chocolate;
Beige;
Yellow;
Khaki;
Sand;
shades of brown;
Green calm tones.

Napkins are also better to choose fabric. They are recommended to be decorated with ribbons, rings made of metal or wood.

Candles will help create special comfort and magic. They can be placed near each guest or combined in the center of the table, creating a "hearth". In the decoration, you can also use garlands and Christmas toys. This will create an incredible magical atmosphere that young children will especially enjoy.

An ideal place in the decor will be occupied by figurines of dogs and bones placed around the perimeter of the tabletop.

Dishes

Usually for the holidays it is customary to use beautiful and rich dishes. A dog is an unpretentious animal, so kitchen utensils should be simple and no frills. Priority should be given to items such as:

Semi-porcelain;
Tree;
Thick colored glass;
Porcelain;
Clay;
Metal.

Colors should not be too dark or bright, but should create an effect of warmth and please the eye.

It is unacceptable to use plastic or disposable tableware, things with damage, chips, cracks or an indistinct pattern. A great option would be to place plates and glasses with images of dog faces or footprints on the table.

Video: Recipe for New Year's Salad "Dog"

The last week of the year has begun. Conscientious and responsible hostesses are looking for new and interesting recipes for the New Year for their home. What should be on the New Year's menu 2018 - recipes for the festive table? Here is a fresh selection of new, simple, light, original and interesting dishes. Get it and share with your friends.

It is not a problem to assemble and organize a festive table, so that everyone knows the popular New Year's dishes (appetizers, salads, hot dishes, desserts) and their recipes - many people know what should be on the table for the New Year.

Damn, so everything traditional and classic looks dreary and dull, but I want something new and interesting! Let's try to figure it out and choose something for our New Year's menu 2018 that suits both our hostesses and relatives and guests.

New Year's menu: how it was the old fashioned way and what recipes are still popular

Every time when the time was approaching the main winter holiday, many people had a question: what to celebrate the New Year in, what gifts to give, what menu to make for the festive table?

Very often, a set of dishes was already known ahead of time. Our ancestors didn’t really care about this - before them, all New Year’s recipes had already been invented. It remained only to stock up on groceries, find the time and desire. And forward to work at the kitchen table.

What do you think I will talk about now? About the classics of the culinary genre, about our favorite, never outdated recipes of old dishes. The classics will always stay with us.

Herring under a Fur Coat

This is my favorite dish at all festive events. Herring under a fur coat will always remain one of the main salads on the New Year's table. At least for today, because the generation of our mothers and fathers still found those times when herring was available, compared to boiled pork or smoked sausage.

This salad consists of several simple layers and it will not take much effort to prepare it. In short, the first layer of a fur coat will be potatoes boiled in their skins and grated. The second layer is finely chopped herring fillet. Then onions, chopped eggs, grated carrots and the last - beets. Lubricate each layer with a mesh of mayonnaise.

Salad Olivier

Authentic Christmas Salad

The second most common New Year's menu is the classic Olivier salad. The old French recipe was modified in Soviet times. Instead of grouse meat, and in the original recipe it was the main product, our parents began to use the most ordinary boiled sausage.

So it turned out a simple New Year's salad, which was used "for both cheeks" by all Soviet people, and we still do.

The recipe for its preparation is not complicated at all, and the ingredients are easy to find on store shelves. Boil eggs, carrots, potatoes. Peel and cut into small cubes, about the size of a medium pea.

By the way, the main piquant product in the classic Olivier is canned peas. We will add pickled gherkins and, again, boiled sausage to it (I say that in Soviet times it was she who was a popular meat product).

Mimosa salad

In the past, canned fish was always available. Just the same, they made up the main part of the classic Mimosa salad recipe. How to cook? Yes, very easy!

All similar products, as in previous salads: vegetables, eggs and onions. Cook, cut and layer. First - potatoes (half of the total), then - fish, onions, the rest of the potatoes, carrots and the last layer - boiled egg whites (finely chopped). Use the yolks as decoration.

Salad of crab sticks

Crab salad is in demand for seafood lovers. When crab sticks appeared on grocery store shelves, culinary gourmets rushed to use them in all sorts of dishes.

A classic recipe for salad with crab sticks has appeared. At first, it included: boiled rice, a canned jar of corn, onions, eggs and pickles. This was already after, they began not to limit themselves and add various new products - mix and improvise.

What else was included in the New Year's menu?

Salad Stolichny, Fish aspic, red caviar, or rather caviar sandwiches, eggplant caviar, herring appetizers with onions. Necessarily sprats, cutting: smoked sausage. Soviet champagne and soda like lemonade. And yes, pickles are preparations for the winter: cabbage, mushrooms.

And more than one New Year's or holiday table could not do without fruit. Especially tangerines and oranges. There were plenty of apples and pears.

On hot served, who is much - and chicken baked in the oven, and fish or pork cooked in the same place. And for a side dish, of course, any potatoes: fried, mashed or boiled in their skins.
