Each hostess strives to prepare an excellent festive dinner and serve an excellent table for the New Year. How to prepare and serve the perfect gala dinner at new year's eve 2030?

New Year 2030: setting the festive table

The perfect New Year's Eve dinner is all about matching and superbly prepared meals and served. Even the simplest dish, beautifully presented and placed on a well-served table, makes a New Year's impression and seems tastier. Therefore, serving in preparation for a festive dinner for the New Year should be given no less attention than the actual preparation of the dishes.

The table must be covered with a tablecloth. To celebrate the New Year 2030, it is better to choose a linen tablecloth, classic white with a silver border, or a gray, beige or pearl tablecloth. Napkins for guests should be made of the same fabric as the tablecloth and should be in harmony with it in color. If you use napkin rings when serving, then give preference to wood products this year.

Place a small composition in the center of the New Year's table to create a festive mood. For example, take a glass dish and fill it with pine cones, golden balls, and decorative gift boxes. You can make a wreath from a spruce branch, decorate it with beads and golden cones, and place a beautiful candle in the middle. Another option for New Year 2030: take a small tray and lay out a composition of a spruce twig, a few cones, golden glass balls, tangerines and small helium candles on it.

For each guest, on the New Year's table you need to put a substitute plate, on it - a snack bar. Another plate is placed on the left - a pie plate. Next, cutlery is laid out and wine glasses and glasses are placed. It is better to put a separate table to accommodate drinks, napkins, clean plates, glasses and cutlery. Remember that two different forks are put in front of the guests for salads and for hot meals, and before the New Year's dessert the table is completely re-served.

What should be on the table in the Year of the White Dog

The coming 2030 according to the Chinese zodiac calendar will be marked by the White Metal Dog. What to serve on the festive table to please the hostess of the year?

To begin with, this year's New Year's Eve dinner should be plentiful. And all the dishes served with it are quite simple and satisfying. And, of course, for the New Year 2030 there should be a lot of meat, among which beef or lamb must be present. This year, housewives are advised to serve several meat snacks, meat and cheese cuts, there must certainly be a hot meat dish. You can also serve fish, but certainly sea fish.

Be sure to serve vegetables with meat, and apples and oranges from fruits and add these fruits to desserts. If you want to cook pastries for New Year's dinner, then refuse products from yeast dough, giving preference to puff, unleavened or sandy.

Hot and cold snacks for New Year 2030

Any gala dinner starts with appetizers. This year, cold cuts must be present on the New Year's table. The classic cold cuts consist of roast beef, thinly sliced boiled veal, ham and boiled tongue.

TO New Year's table 2030 should also serve herring with pickled mushrooms, jellied beef or jellied fish... Complement your holiday table with eggplant, zucchini and ham rolls, stuffed eggs, assorted sauerkraut, pickled tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and mushrooms.

From salads in the New 2030 It is best to serve traditional "Olivier" and herring "under a fur coat", vinaigrette, "Capital" or salad with salmon or tuna. This choice of snacks is due to the tastes of the owner of the year - Dog. And she loves, as already mentioned, food that is hearty, traditional and fairly simple.

In addition to cold snacks, relatives and guests can be pampered with hot ones. For example, noble mushrooms stewed in cream, envelopes with meat filling from puff pastry or potato nests with eggs and ham.

"Potato nests"- this is a very tasty hot appetizer that can become a "highlight" of your New Year's table. Cooking takes about 20 minutes. Peel the potatoes in advance and boil the eggs. To create potato nests, peel the peeled potatoes on a coarse grater and salt, then put a portion of the grated potatoes in a small sieve so that a nest is formed and dip the sieve with potatoes in boiling olive oil. Remove the fried nests from the sieve and place them on a paper towel to drain off excess fat. Add béchamel sauce or mayonnaise to the center of each nest, place half an egg, chopped ham and pitted olive. The New Year's dish should be served hot on lettuce leaves. If you prepared it in advance, then you can just hold the potato nests in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Hot dishes in the New Year of the White Dog

This year we will certainly cook for hot meat dish... It is best if it is veal, beef or lamb, although you can also serve a pork dish.

Stew the lamb with prunes, the lamb ribs baked in the oven are very tasty. And if you cook lamb with rosemary and spicy spices in a roasting sleeve for the New Year 2030, after marinating the meat overnight in a mixture of dry white wine and pomegranate syrup, you will get a tender hot meal without the specific aftertaste typical of mutton dishes.

There are a lot of options for cooking veal or beef. If you want to serve something special to the New Year's table, then stew veal or beef with dried fruits or serve lingonberry or cranberry sauce with a roast.

This year's pork can be cooked with White Dog's favorite oranges... Offer guests, for example, pork medallions in oranges. To prepare the dish, pork medallions need to be salt and pepper, fry until golden brown, and then add freshly squeezed to the pan with meat Orange juice and finely grated zest, shallots, veal broth, a couple of tablespoons of honey and some turmeric. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This hot New Year will make guests ask for the recipe.

New Year's side dishes

The most traditional side dish for meat is potatoes. It can be simply fried with onions and spices, baked in the oven with cream and aromatic herbs, fry in an airfryer or in a boiling olive oil, and serve with the stew. And here mashed potatoes goes well with meat prepared for the New Year with dried fruits. It can be squeezed out with a confectionery syringe in the shape of a Christmas tree and baked a little in the oven. Decorate the top with a tomato star.

Oven-baked meats can be paired with a mixed vegetable garnish such as onion, bell pepper and tomato stew, or grilled vegetables. A very light New Year's side dish: Brussels sprouts for a couple or cauliflower in batter - will suit almost everything.

But with lamb, such a side dish as rice with bell peppers and beans will go well. To prepare it bell pepper and the onion needs to be chopped and fried, then add washed rice and herbal seasoning to the vegetables, lightly fry again, and then add the peeled tomatoes. Pour vegetable broth over the contents of the pan and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Then add tomato paste, canned red beans, peppers, and salt. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle the finished garnish with finely chopped parsley and cilantro.

Desserts and drinks for New Year 2030

For this year's desserts, be sure to use the Dog's favorite fruits: apples and oranges. A traditional New Year's dessert recommended for the upcoming 2030 - baked apples... They can be prepared with honey, cottage cheese and raisins, honey, raisins and nuts, with blackberries and ice cream, or with vanilla sauce... You can serve puff envelopes for dessert with apple filling, Apple strudel or marshmallow. No less New Year's desserts can be prepared with oranges. For example, donuts with oranges, charlotte, orange mousse or orange soufflé.

"Orange soufflé"- this is a very tasty and original New Year's dessert, which is served hot. To make a soufflé, make a syrup from 200 grams of sugar and two glasses of water. Then cut 6 oranges into halves, select and chop the pulp, and simmer in the syrup until transparent. Beat 5 proteins in the foam, add to the ready-made proteins orange jam and keep whisking. Then carefully add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sifted starch. Put the resulting mass in halves orange peels... Bake the soufflé in the oven for 15 minutes, serve hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

For dessert, you can also offer guests homemade shortbread, cherries with creamy mousse, wafer rolls with boiled condensed milk and curd cream... And the final chord of a festive New Year's dinner can be a light yoghurt cake or a great chocolate roll with nuts.

Choose drinks for the holiday based on the dishes that you will prepare. It is customary to serve white dry or semi-dry wines with cold appetizers, if these are fish appetizers, and red dry or semi-dry wines - with meat appetizers. To salty and spicy food chilled vodka will do. It is customary to combine meat dishes with red dry or semi-dry wines. Dessert wine served with fruit desserts, and with tea and coffee - liqueurs and vintage cognac.

From soft drinks buy several types of juices, mineral water with gas and without gas. This year, it is recommended to remember the not so long gone tradition of preparing homemade cranberry juice for the holiday. If you can find lemonade prepared according to the Soviet recipe in stores, buy a few bottles for the holiday. The hostess of the year really likes it when old traditions are observed.

All drinks should be served chilled to a temperature of 12-15 degrees. When serving, usually one glass for water, juice or fruit drink, a glass for champagne and a glass for wine are placed on the table for drinks. On the additional one, a supply of glasses for wine and wine glasses, glasses for vodka and liqueurs, glasses for cognac are displayed - they are served to guests depending on which drink they choose for a particular dish.

Last year, it was not recommended to serve poultry dishes on the New Year's table. Wondering what you can't cook for the New Year 2018 (Year of the Dog)? This and many other questions are of interest to housewives on the eve of the winter holidays. Therefore, let's find out what the yellow earth Dog does not like.

The hostess of the next year is not so picky about food, but still there are points that should be taken into account when preparing for the New Year's holiday. After all, everyone wants to be happy in 2018, and therefore you need to please the dog as much as possible.

What should be mandatory on the festive table

According to experts in oriental culture, the Yellow Earth Dog is a kind and completely non-greedy animal. At the same time, she does not like squandering and window dressing. On the festive table should be exactly as much as you can eat in one evening. Do not stand at the stove for a long time and cook many dishes to amaze your guests. It is better if the food is straightforward. For example, baked chicken, turkey or duck, or one large piece of meat, no matter pork or beef. Bones must be present in the meat. Perfect option baked pork ribs.

Not only potatoes can be used as a side dish. Duck can be stuffed with buckwheat, and chicken with rice. Vegetables are also suitable: cabbage of all types, stewed eggplant, bright bell pepper. Salads are best served in the form of dog faces, sprinkled with yolk or canned corn to best match the totem animal. As you understand, the dog loves meat in any form, so the table must have:

smoked meat cuts;
different kinds sausages;
all types of meat, preferably processed over an open fire;
game cooked in any way;
jellied meat, aspic;
pates;
meat salads of all kinds.

A variety of breads should be present, preferably homemade or on the wood. After all, a dog is a pet and loves everything natural.

The table should be served and fresh vegetables and fruit, preferably yellow color: bell peppers, oranges, tangerines, pears, apples, bananas.

You can add fresh berries, dried fruits, bright candied fruits to the dessert. As for sweets, then it should be limited, because such products are contraindicated for the hostess of the year. Better if on the festive table appears cottage cheese casserole or other milk products with the addition of nuts, dried apricots, etc.

In general, in order to please a dog, there should be plenty of everything on the festive table, but without any special culinary tricks. Nor will she understand the vegetarian New Year's Eve.

What you can't prepare for the Year of the Dog

The hostess of the year doesn't like fish. She is contraindicated in varieties where there is a lot small bones, therefore it is necessary to exclude from New Year's menu any river fish: carp, pike, etc. She will not like the tastes familiar to us, "herring under a fur coat." Salads with caviar, salmon and other red fish are best postponed until better times. It is also necessary to abandon the now fashionable sushi and rolls.

When preparing cold cuts, make sure that there is no horse meat or horse sausage... As you know, dogs do not like this breed of animals.

We hope you are not an avid fan. korean food and you won't have exotic dog meat dishes. Just as Feng Shui experts say, you need to exclude broken noodles from the menu. It turns out that longevity depends on the length of the noodles. You should not tease the dog with food such as hot dogs and other fast foods.

As for drinks, it is undesirable to serve: kvass, beer, lemonade. Cook regular compote or make fruit drink and juice. The hostess of the year will not welcome spirits either. You have probably seen in life how a dog reacts to drunk people.

It is better to finish the preparation of dishes by lunchtime, so that by the New Year you have time to relax and look fresh and cheerful. The hostess of the year will not like it if you are overwhelmed and cannot celebrate the holiday cheerfully and carefree.

As a rule, dogs don't like cats, so try to keep them away from the holiday table.

In general, the dog belongs to active animals, so it will not really like it if you do not constantly sit at the festive table. Come up with fun activities, games, contests to please her to the maximum.

What else will the symbol of 2018 like?

The heroine of the year can rightfully be called a village animal. She will surely like simple and uncomplicated things in everything:

Dishes	It must be natural. Emphasize country style. Place earthenware jugs of drinks on the table. Place wooden spoons in salads. Only ceramic dishes can be placed on the table. When using dessert, put a samovar with a bundle of bagels on the table.
Decor	Decorate the octa with natural linen curtains. This material is perfect for napkins, tablecloths and chair covers. When choosing a decor, pay attention to the favorite colors of the totem animal: yellow, orange, beige, brown, gold, etc. When choosing decorations for the Christmas tree, you should also adhere to the same trend. Among the toys can be wooden, clay figures of dogs, stars from twigs, garlands of dried citrus circles.
clothing	The New Year's outfit should be chosen based on the Dog's favorite colors (see above). As for the style, you should prefer loose styles so that nothing bothers you to have fun. The dog will like it, because it is a mobile animal. Among the jewelry, you can choose yellow and orange jewelry. The best option there will be beads or a necklace made of natural stones with wooden elements. No doubt the Dog will also like amber jewelry.

The New Year's cleaning should be completed before sunset, so as not to accidentally sweep family happiness out of the house.
On the eve of the holiday, do not lend money and return the borrowed money yourself.
Choose an outfit and jewelry that will appeal to the totem. They should not be pretentious and match the color of the year.
If you want to have a strong family, then do not be lazy and tie the table legs with a thick rope.
For entertainment, refrain from playing cards. This will protect you from unnecessary excitement for the entire next year.
Choose simple and inexpensive natural stone or wood presentations. This will drive away mercantile people from you.
When the chimes strike, throw a coin into the glass and make a wish, and then carry it constantly with you in your wallet. The desire will certainly come true.
If you want to get rid of something (for women), throw a light shawl over your shoulders. At the last chiming chime, throw it off, and you will forever forget about what prevented you from living.

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 holiday 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 fastidious 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. And therefore, the New Year's table-2018 will look strange without meat dishes. 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, lies with a non-lifting weight on the stomach 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, cold cuts, sausages, pies, stews, carbonates ... And many other yummy meat products. 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 just an ordinary one, but an Earthy one. 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. An excellent New Year's dessert - light and healthy!

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 whet the appetite, prepare guests for the main hot course and form the first impression of the table. Let's not deceive the Dog's expectations and give him what she loves the most - meat in the form elegantly served cold cuts... Boiled pork, smoked sausage, carbonate, ham, thinly sliced, rolled up in rolls and mouth-watering 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 delicious hot and cold appetizer recipes for the Year of the Dog New Year's Eve menu.

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 for decoration.

A method of preparing chicken rolls with olives.

We cut the chicken breasts in half - "little book", that is, not completely. We need a wide and flat piece, so that later there is something to roll into a roll. We beat off the resulting piece - without fanaticism! Chicken meat, in itself, is quite tender and does not require as much effort from a hammer as pork.
Repulsed chicken fillet pepper, salt, grease with mayonnaise and leave alone for a while - marinate.
Break the eggs, beat, add flour and fry a thin omelet cake. There is one "zest": in order to add some piquancy to the omelet - we chop 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 on 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 closed lid- for a more uniform 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.

drying - 0.5 kg;
chicken egg - 1 piece;
cheese - 200 g (fat content does not matter);
mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon;
salt and spices to taste;
lettuce leaves - for decoration.

Cooking method

We bring the minced meat to perfection. This means making it more aromatic and tasty - add salt, spices, mayonnaise and an egg to the minced meat. Mix everything well.
We start drying. Put the minced meat brought to perfection inside the dryers. On average, 1 teaspoon of minced meat with top is placed in one dryer. But don't be greedy! Put the minced meat with a slide, otherwise the Dog will think that you feel sorry for the minced meat.
We bake. The filled "nests" are sprinkled with grated cheese on top, laid out on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of parchment paper, and sent to the oven. With an oven temperature of 200 degrees, the nests will be ready in 25 minutes.
Serving. Lay the leaves on a flat plate fresh salad and on them already - "nests", ruddy and terribly appetizing.

Cooking a fragrant filling. Parmesan is finely grated, olives are cut into small pieces, basil is chopped and chopped, pepper is cut into small squares. Combine this "crumb" with curd cheese and stir. It turns out a white mass with multi-colored blotches.
Creation of a "Christmas tree". Put the finished filling-mixture in an even layer on strips of pita bread and roll it up with a tight roll. This stage requires accuracy... We make sure that the cling film does not get inside the roll.
Next, we give the roll with our hands a triangular shape and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Cut the cooled roll into isosceles triangles 3-4 cm thick. Pin a piece of olive to the base of each with a toothpick or skewer.

Everything! The Christmas tree is ready! We put our coniferous forest on a plate and send it to the New Year's table!

We put middle layer... It will be almond egg. Sprinkle with chopped roasted almonds first. Then, on top of it - boiled eggs grated on a coarse grater.
The second layer can also be greased with mayonnaise. But you can also skip this step.
We make the finishing layer - cheese. Grated cheese is laid on top of the eggs and leveled with mayonnaise.

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.

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.

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.

the presence on the table of the heroine of the holiday in any modification: in the form of a cute figurine of a lop-eared puppy or his "photograph" on a plate with salad;
cold cuts, laid out in a special way;
active use of New Year's symbols: a Christmas tree - from dill, a star - from tomato or red pepper, New Year's beads - from corn and pomegranate grains, cones - from almonds, snowmen - from boiled chicken and quail eggs fastened with a toothpick;
funny cupcakes in the shape of shaggy dogs, butter cream very convincingly plays the role of coarse wool.
