Festive table setting in the New Year

A good appetite largely depends on the appearance of the dishes and the beautiful presentation. To decorate the table for the New Year, they usually use:

• glasses, wine glasses, wine glasses for drinks;
• napkins;
• tablecloths;
• runners and naperons (fabric strips laid out over the tablecloth);
• plates;
• spoons, forks, knives;
• various accessories and decorations.

First you need to decide on the color. The upcoming 2018 is the year of the Yellow Dog, therefore, the predominant shade can be exactly yellow in its most varied variations:

• citric;
• canary;
• buttercup;
• bright and poisonous;
• and even mustard.

Best of all, yellow is combined with white, black, green, brown, gray, blue. A companion color must be present in the design of the festive table, since monotony does not always look beautiful and stylish. And sometimes it's even very boring.

So, for example, you can choose napkins in two contrasting colors and fold them beautifully on or next to a plate. It will be original in the year of the dog to make figures in the form of a puppy's head from napkins using the oriental origami technique.

A shade of yellow can find its place in the chosen dishes - plates, glasses, salad bowls, etc.

It is important to use candles at the table on New Year's Eve. If you are worried about fire safety in your home, you can find various glowing figures in the form of, for example, the same dogs and candles in souvenir shops and shops.

Your guests will be very pleased to find small messages-wishes, decorated in small envelopes or scrolls, behind their place on the plate.

Some, they can move to tears of joy and happiness. Can you bake classic biscuits with predictions.

I really want Nova 2018 to bring every person on earth a piece of peace in the family, tranquility and prosperity in a variety of deeds and undertakings! May every home on earth be happy!

Winter is not far off with its cold weather, snow and ... a series of the most beloved holidays. And if the children are busy thinking about gifts and putting them on a long list for Santa Claus, then parents are hecticly preparing for the celebration, pondering presents to all relatives, relatives, friends, as well as a menu for the New Year 2018 - what to cook new and interesting in the year of the dog?

Indeed, it has already become customary to set the most luxurious tables for this night, teeming with exotic dishes. For the hostesses, this holiday has become a way to show their culinary abilities, to stand out, to receive well-deserved praise from loved ones, guests invited to a feast.

Fortunately, the times have sunk into oblivion when you had to get food to the table, buy "from under the counter", stand in kilometer-long queues. But this does not make the process of selecting the menu easier - because you always want to do something like that.

Moreover, to please the symbol of the year, and for our case it is a yellow earthen Dog, a calm, domesticated, down-to-earth, kind animal, but very much appreciating good food. Let's not upset her, but rather think over carefully the list of festive dishes!

Although the dog is considered an omnivorous creature, there are certain taboos that it builds to adhere to when drawing up a menu on New Year 2018. For example:

• dogs do not particularly like fish meat, it is better to leave dishes from it to the cat, which time will come in a couple of years, but if you want to cook fish, then you need to serve it whole - Eastern culture considers this a symbol of wealth
• fast foods of any kind are prohibited
• you cannot use short, broken noodles, its length in the East is associated with longevity
• a taboo is imposed on Korean food, because the hostess of the year herself is eaten there
• you should not decorate the table with bottles of vodka, kvass, beer or lemonade, the dog is bad for strong alcoholic, fizzy drinks.

New Year's menu 2018 - recipes for a festive table

The exception is clear, but what can you do? The dog is quite an omnivorous creature capable of eating almost everything, but still loves meat of any shape and type more, therefore the 2018 New Year's menu should include:

1. meat (pork, veal, beef, rabbit, lamb, horse meat), to facilitate digestion, it is better to bake it, stew, boil, but not fry
2. poultry (chicken, goose, duck, turkey)
3. bright steamed vegetables, steamed, boiled
4. products of brown, yellow, gold color (potatoes, buckwheat, corn, yellow tomatoes, pineapples, oranges, pumpkin, yellow figs, bell pepper).

It is clear with the basic principles, it remains to think over in detail what to prepare for the festive table. There can be a million options, but often the menu includes main dishes, side dishes, sauces, cold or hot snacks, salads, desserts and, of course, drinks. Here are a couple of ideas.

New year 2018 snacks

What is the New Year associated with? With sparkling snow, a fluffy Christmas tree, Santa Claus and gifts in his bag and, of course, with festive treats... We cannot imagine the New Year without a hospitable, plentiful table, elegant and satisfying.

The coming year of the Yellow Earth Dog is a lot of obligations and leads to some culinary reflections. Let's share some of them.

What does the Dog dislike?

The list of products that the hostess of 2018 does not like is quite limited, since the dog is not a picky animal in gastronomic terms and is almost omnivorous. But, nevertheless, its "omnivorousness" has some limits.

Some types of meat... There are no dog dishes on the 2018 New Year's table. Joke! But in every joke, as you know, there is some truth. And the Koreans, for example, were not far from her. Also, horse meat is not recommended for New Year's use. Dogs and horses are said to have a complex relationship. Better not to upset the owner of the year. We need her benevolent disposition!

Fully vegetarian New Year's menu. The main type of food for a dog, even ordinary, not even astrological, is meat. Therefore, the New Year's table-2018 without meat dishes will look strange. We will save the carrot and cabbage menu for the Rabbit or the Goat.

Fish assortment... Dogs are curious creatures and can taste shrimp and take a bite. chop bite fish, but, nevertheless, we will not mix sour with unleavened, that is, Dog and Cat, and move the fish menu aside along with mushroom delicacies.

Fatty dishes... A hearty menu does not mean fatty. Heavy food, oversaturated with fats, falls on the stomach with a non-lifting weight and attracts a magnet to the sofa. What about games? And the fun? What about slides and fireworks? A dog is a very active animal that loves entertainment and fun. There is no need to turn her into a Pig, which will determine the menu in a year. In the meantime, we meet 2018 and avoid greasy New Year's treats.

On a note: also do not zealous with sugar, salt and spices. The Dog has a keen sense of smell and a flair for success and luck. Don't blunt it!

What do we feed the Yellow Earth Dog with?

Meat! In all its forms - rolls, cutlets, jellied meat, chops, steaks, kebabs, steaks, stews, goulash, roast beefs, shanks, cuts, sausages, pies, stews, carbonates ... And many other yummy meat. Please the Dog! And she will answer you with mutual love and devotion. She's good at it.

The dog loves bones. You will please her very much if you choose a meat dish on the bone for the New Year's table: a rack of lamb, for example, or a Kiev cutlet.

Root vegetables... Do not forget that the Dog will not come simple, but Earthy. To emphasize this feature of it, we put on the New Year's table root crops in various modifications and what ripens in the ground - peanuts, for example. Of course, the most obvious and common Russian root vegetable is the potato. He has a place on the New Year's table as a side dish for meat. Turnips, rutabagas, carrots, radishes can also take part in the 2018 New Year's meal.

Yellow and orange fruits... The dog is expected Yellow. We put on the table a vase with fruits - yellow apples, apricots, oranges and tangerines, amber melon and tender pineapple. Great new year dessert- easy and useful!

Conclusion: the main concept of the New Year's table-2018 is nourishing, simple, abundant and varied, with an emphasis on meat dishes.

Now let's put together a simple but delicious New Year's menu for the Yellow Earth Dog.

Snacks

Snacks are an important part of the festive table. They dispel appetite, prepare guests for a hot main course and form the first impression of the table. Let's not deceive the Dog's expectations and give her what she loves the most - meat in the form elegantly served cold cuts... Boiled pork, smoked sausage, carbonate, ham, thinly sliced, rolled into rolls and appetizing roses, delight the eye and whet the appetite.

Tip: Use a wide knife or slicer to prepare cold cuts. The thinner the slice is, the more variation you will have for creating voluminous compositions on a plate.

Check out our recipes for delicious hot and cold snacks for the New Year's Eve menu for the Year of the Dog.

Chicken rolls with egg and olives

Delicate, melting in your mouth, beautiful and easy to prepare, these rolls will no doubt impress the hostess of the year and will be the first to disappear from the plates of the New Year's table.

We will need:

• chicken breast - 2 pieces of medium size;
• chicken egg - 2 pieces;
• pitted canned olives - 1 can (the color and size of the olives does not matter);
• cheese - 100 g (it is better to buy packaged cheese, already cut into thin slices or sticks);
• mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• flour - 2 tablespoons;
• parsley or dill greens - for decoration.

Method for preparing chicken rolls with olives.

• We cut the chicken breasts in half - "little book", that is, not to the end. We need a wide and flat piece so that later there is something to roll into a roll. We beat off the received piece - without fanaticism! Chicken meat, in itself, is quite tender and does not require as much effort from a hammer as pork.
• Pepper the beaten chicken fillet, salt, grease with mayonnaise and leave it alone for a while - marinate.
• Break the eggs, beat, add flour and fry a thin omelet cake. There is one "zest": in order to give the omelet a certain piquancy - cut some olives into a beaten egg.

Important: do not combine eggs! 1 egg + 0.5 tablespoon flour = 1 scrambled eggs.

• Let's start assembling. Put the omelet cake on the beaten off chicken breast. Attach a stick of cheese from the edge of the breast. If the cheese is sliced, then put slices of cheese on top of the omelet.
• Roll the resulting composition tightly with a sausage. We fix it with a toothpick so that it does not turn around. As a result, you should get 2 rolls - one from each breast.
• Frying is the final stage. Dip the rolls in flour and fry in sunflower oil in a preheated pan. Fry over low heat and under a closed lid - for a more even heat treatment... On each side - 15 minutes, that is, only 30 minutes.

You can replace the roasting stage with baking. In this case, the oven temperature should be 180 °, the cooking time should be 30 minutes.

Serve: wait for the rolls to cool down and cut them into 3-4 cm thick rings. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.

God! What a scent! The dog is already scratching at your door!

In this recipe you can use a cheese mixture from feta and cream cheese.

The main dish of the New Year's table is hot recipes

Before proceeding with the recipes for New Year's hot hits - 2018, let's outline the general concept.

1. Of course, the centerpiece of the Year of the Dog dish should be meat. It's great if yellow fruits or vegetables join the meat - a tribute to the Yellow Dog.
2. Excellent if it is not a simple civilized chicken, but, say, wild duck or a rabbit. Game is a canine specialization by definition.
3. Double pleasure for the Dog, if the meat is on the bone - it's a delicacy squared! And finally, full compliance with the New Year's concept-2018 - meat with a potato side dish - a vegetable that has grown in the ground. This is already a culinary curtsey towards the Earth Dog.

So, it's time to decide what to cook hot and tasty for the New Year 2018.

Kebab in the oven

This recipe is for urban kebab lovers who couldn't get out of town on New Year's Eve, closer to the barbecue. The recipe is simple, but the result is decent. Rate it!

We mix everything well so that the meat is saturated with additives. We cover the container with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• While the meat is marinating in the refrigerator, turn on the oven and prepare a baking sleeve - we tie it at one end.
• Put the pickled meat in a sleeve and tie it at the other end. Place the sleeve on a baking sheet. For steam to escape, we make several holes in the sleeve. The baking sheet is placed on the middle rack of the oven and left for 1 hour at 200 °.

Like this! You can cook an excellent barbecue without leaving your apartment and treat it to the hostess of the year.
