There is very little time left until the New Year. It's time to think about the New Year's menu. There are a lot of ideas for you especially to make this process easier!

Truffles with pepper

Since I found this recipe for myself, I consider it the most successful. I have never eaten anything tastier! If you think this is difficult - nothing like it! Well, or involve your relatives in the process. What could be more romantic - making candy with your loved one? Or will you and the kids roll around in chocolate together? The taste of these truffles is worth it. And please note - no butter!

Fish in salt

Fish for main course is just a great option for large-scale celebrations, when the tables are full of goodies and you want to unload yourself as much as possible. At the same time, preparation takes very little time, and this is exactly what housewives need on New Year's Eve. And the fish turns out.... You can’t tell! Salt is an excellent coat that heats up very well and evenly. The fish is baked in its own juice. Delicious, no words! And useful. Don’t be afraid of over-salting, the fish has skin and will take exactly as much salt as needed.

Christmas brownie

An exceptionally basic, and most importantly quick, holiday baking recipe. Ginger and orange will give you a spicy Christmas taste, and chocolate and nuts will finish their terrible task of conquering your soul completely and irrevocably! This dessert disappears with such dizzying speed - you won’t have time to blink.

Chicken in orange sauce

Another wonderful option for oven-baked chicken. It turns out magically fragrant, with a beautiful brown crispy crust. You can take any parts of the chicken (but not fillet, it will be a little dry), if we take a whole one, then cut it in half and put it next to it. I made half, but for a whole chicken, multiply the ingredients by two.

Salad with shrimp

A wonderful and tender salad. I love him very much. For this reason, all my friends and relatives already know it, because we don’t get tired of it, and I cook it for all the holidays and sometimes just because. Once upon a time, my friend suggested his recipe to me, and since then it has firmly taken root on my table.

Herring under a Fur Coat

Of course, as many families as there are in Russia, there are probably as many recipes for “herring under a fur coat.” Therefore, I emphasize that this is the recipe used in our family. My sister-in-law taught me how to make this salad exactly this way a couple of years ago, and the recipe has stuck with me very well. Which is what I recommend to you.

Chocolate sausage

I have loved this recipe since childhood. In those days, of course, they used cocoa instead of chocolate... But now we can afford not to waste time on trifles. Otherwise, I do everything like my mother - add marmalade. The more colorful the marmalade you take, the better and more fun. Sliced ​​sausage circles look incredibly beautiful when held up to the light - the marmalade shines through like colored glass. If you want, you can replace the marmalade with your favorite dried fruits.

Pork with cider

An original option for serving meat on a festive table. I am sure that neither you nor your guests will be disappointed! Tender meat with the piquant taste of apples and apple cider is a very beneficial combination. It’s even more pleasant when you can sit at the table, while the meat cooks itself in the oven. Even the simplest side dish is suitable, because the taste is already rich.

Cake "Favorite from childhood"

Even when I practically didn’t know how to cook (only something very simple), I already knew how to make this cake, because the recipe is simple and very quick. If you want to learn how to make cakes, start here. Failures are excluded. And if you don’t like cranberries, take your favorite jam, but it’s better with sourness.

Tiramisu

An incredibly tasty and delicate dessert! I strongly recommend that you please your loved ones by preparing it for the holiday. I made it for the festive New Year's table and everyone was delighted (please note that I am generally modest). So neither you nor your guests will be disappointed.

Herring pate

This is a delicious pate! It is non-standard, but very tasty. Creamy fishy taste, delicate consistency... Many people don’t even immediately understand that it’s just from herring. It seems that a noble red fish is “involved” here. You will fall in love with this recipe, I promise. Three minutes and such a thrill.

Schisandra

As you already understand, I was drawn to nostalgia for my childhood. Lemongrass is a real holiday of childhood! When the apartment was filled with the most wonderful aroma of lemon pie filling from the oven... I can’t describe these feelings! The hardest part was waiting for it to cool down. I never had enough patience and grabbed a hot piece. At a time when we did not have access to such an abundance of desserts on the shelves and in cafes, homemade pies were more relevant than ever. And, after all, it’s seasonal! After all, buying lemons in winter is not a problem!

Baked chicken legs

This is my sister Marusya's recipe. She came up with it over long evenings by conducting experiments on her husband’s taste buds. So I just took it and did it like she did. I highly recommend it! The meat turns out to be the most tender. You don’t need to work hard on cooking, you just need to set aside time for baking.

Chicken with tarragon, potatoes and young garlic

An absolutely wonderful recipe that will delight both your family and your guests. The chickens turn out to be the most tender, the potatoes (due to pre-boiling) are delicious, and the notes of tarragon, which we are all accustomed to calling tarragon, will add incomparable shades of taste... Poetry!

Veal jellied meat

On the eve of the New Year, we will continue the festive-winter theme. An extremely traditional appetizer on the Russian holiday table. It will require your time and desire to prepare it. But it will more than repay with excellent taste. You will not regret. (I'll share the turkey jellied recipe later!)

Cheese cake with strawberry sauce

For me personally, it has always been an absolutely restaurant cake. For a long time, it wasn’t that I didn’t dare to cook it, but somehow it didn’t even occur to me. As soon as I did this, I realized (as often happens) that I no longer wanted to eat it in a restaurant. It turns out surprisingly tender and creamy. And the strawberry sauce... mmmmmm!

Berry ice cream

Simple, tasty, fast, beautiful, festive, not harmful. What else is needed for happiness? Beauty! I got the idea from the brilliant Jamie Oliver. Be sure to try it! Replace yogurt with freshly squeezed orange juice and you get sorbet - for those who are fasting.

Trout in orange sauce with green salad

Again I was inspired by Belonika. Incredibly interesting marinade! The end result is a light and surprisingly tasty dish! Another great advantage is that it prepares extremely quickly. And there are few body movements. The fish marinade is also a salad dressing. In general, an ideal dinner for busy, modern, self-conscious individuals. Again, any red fish.

Creamy mousse with mango

Layered desserts in glasses or in molds always look advantageous and festive on the table. Again, very convenient - made it, put it in the refrigerator, and served it when needed. And here is an absolutely wonderful combination of creamy mascarpone with boiled condensed milk, mango and almonds.

Roll with smoked fish

I really love this snack option. It is convenient to serve at buffets or just at the holiday table. It is also great when going on a picnic or visiting, if you are asked to bring something tasty “from yourself.” This is done as quickly and simply as possible, just shhhhh! Don't tell anyone about this!

Profiteroles with mushrooms

Profiteroles are buns made from choux pastry. The dough itself is made very quickly, then the “products” of any shape (round or long, if you want eclairs) are laid out on a cold baking sheet, certainly at a considerable distance from each other, and baked in the oven, which under no circumstances should be opened! Then they will rise evenly and become golden. And inside there is a void that can be filled with fillings, sweet or not. They are very convenient to prepare for the holiday. Bake the day before, store on a board, covered with a towel, and fill with contents the next day. We will make this recipe with mushrooms - tender and deliciously tasty, they will amaze your guests. This is a great snack option for the table.

Quick carpaccio

As you know, carpaccio is made by definition from raw products, i.e. the meat must be raw. For example, I am afraid to buy raw meat in our country. Therefore, I offer you the option of express carpaccio made from dry-cured Parma ham. Delicious with arugula!

Beef stewed in sour cream

We continue the meat theme on the eve of February 23rd. This is my friend's family recipe that I love. At every family holiday we were treated to this meat. As a child, I really loved this treat. Then, as a person prone to nostalgia, I remembered this and found out the family recipe. I was even wondering whether it would be as tasty as it was in childhood or whether a sophisticated adult palate, spoiled by post-Soviet freedom of food, would not appreciate it... Friends! I officially declare it! We take note of the recipe and cook it without fail! Wonderful for guests or even just to pamper “your own.”

Alexander Gushchin

I can’t vouch for the taste, but it will be hot :)

Content

With the onset of December, every housewife begins the process of traditionally choosing recipes for the New Year: unusual holiday appetizers, bright desserts, simple salads and hot dishes. You have to spend several days, if not weeks, on creating a menu in order to take into account everything - the wishes of the guests, compliance with the symbol of the coming year, the desire to introduce something new both in the design of dishes and in the matter of their composition.

What to cook for the New Year

You should think over the menu after determining the composition of the guests: if you are celebrating together with your significant other, there is no need for the table to be laden with food, but for a noisy feast, a couple of salads with a bottle of champagne will not be enough. Delicious dishes for the New Year must be chosen taking into account the preferences of those to whom they will be offered:

• children more fruits, sandwiches, desserts;
• for those who are fasting - a vegetarian menu;
• young people - cocktails and snacks.

Festive menu for children

For a child, not only the taste of a dish is important, but also its visual quality, so New Year’s recipes for the children’s table should have an interesting presentation. Decorate the salad in the shape of a Christmas tree, make multi-colored jelly in layers as a dessert, prepare small “ships” for a snack from halves of a boiled egg with a sail in the form of a cucumber slice. Fruit salads, bright canapés on colored skewers, and spicy cookies with bright icing would also be a great idea.

Lenten food for the new year

For those who observe fasting and for those who watch their figure, there are a lot of vegetarian recipes that will not let your table look empty on New Year's Eve. In this category you can find not only salads and appetizers, but also hot dishes and desserts. The most successful recipes:

• stuffed zucchini with tomatoes, olives and brown rice;
• eggplant stew;
• chickpea-cabbage cutlets.

How to create a New Year's menu

In view of the main belief about the New Year - as it begins, so will it pass - housewives try to make the festive table as satisfying and varied as possible. Be sure to serve a hot dish, a couple of side dish options, 3-5 types of salads and appetizers. Desserts come out last, accompanied by light cocktails, if you plan to sit all night - they can also become your holiday breakfast.

Original snacks

The New Year's feast begins not with meat, but with light dishes. If we talk about cold appetizers, the leaders in this category will be sandwiches and canapés - you can put red caviar, slices of fish or cheese on small toasted pieces of baguette, alternating with slices of vegetables. Lavash rolls filled with vegetables will be no less interesting. The following can be served as hot appetizers:

• mini pizzas on puff pastry, cut into 10*10 cm squares;
• Shrimp skewers with pineapple pieces on skewers.

Delicious salads for the New Year

Classic Olivier, like herring under a fur coat, does not leave the holiday tables of Russians, but besides it you need to have other salad recipes for the New Year in stock so that you have something to surprise your guests and family. Experts suggest trying these simple but delicious ideas:

• With crab meat, boiled eggs, corn and green apple - the combination is festive, nutritious, with a pleasant sweet note.
• A pile of chicken, mushrooms, eggs, cheese and pickles under grated walnuts is a very satisfying composition with a piquant taste.
• An appetizing mixture of shrimp, olives, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and slices of hard cheese, seasoned with balsamic sauce, has the classic taste of Mediterranean cuisine and is liked by ladies for its lightness.

Hot dishes

The main menu, even on New Year's Day, is always hot. Mostly housewives opt for meat dishes, since they are as satisfying as possible and there are more such recipes than vegetarian ones. Particularly popular on New Year's Eve are:

• stuffed poultry - duck, turkey, chicken: satisfying, attractive, but time-consuming;
• grilled meat/fish steaks – basic recipe and several sauce options to suit guests’ tastes;
• meat rolls stuffed with fresh vegetables.

Side dishes for the holiday

Along with the main hot dish, you must also serve a side dish on a common plate, which, if desired, can only be combined with an appetizer if you want a light meal. Since food sits on the table for a long time on New Year’s, you won’t be able to use pasta as a side dish - it’s better to do:

• fluffy rice with spices (try Indian curry recipes - they are universal);
• grilled vegetables - zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants;
• baked sliced ​​potatoes with herbs.

New Year's cocktails

Not the last place on the menu of any holiday, including New Year, is occupied by drinks: simply putting champagne or wine, even very good one, is not as interesting as making a cocktail. Which of their recipes for the New Year will be the most successful? Try the following:

• Sparkling – peel 2 tangerines, beat with raspberries (500 g), add 100 ml pomegranate juice, 50 ml cranberry juice and 400 ml champagne. Cool.
• Pina Colada – mix 6 ice cubes, white rum, Malibu syrup and pineapple juice in a 2:2:3 ratio in a shaker. Refrigerate until serving. Design options can be seen in the photos of professionals.

Sweet table - what to serve for the New Year

If you are planning a long holiday night or there are children among the guests, you cannot do without desserts. Traditional recipes for New Year's treats are mainly spiced cookies, of which there are especially many varieties in Italy. However, besides it, there are also cold desserts, including ice cream, cakes, pastries, muffins, rolls - all this is found in New Year's recipes.

Goodies for the New Year

Pepper cookies or Piparkukas are a traditional Christmas and New Year pastry for some countries, characterized by a bright, spicy taste and lack of special sweetness. The base for the cookies is shortbread, but with molasses, and the zest is given by a mixture of cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. The New Year's recipes for the sweet table don't end there - it's worth trying:

• Coconut balls are soft cookies made from butter, honey, flour, condensed milk and prunes in the center, rolled in coconut flakes. The recipe will appeal to Raffaello candy lovers.
• Pignoli are Italian cookies made from almond flour, sugar and egg whites, to which a little wheat flour is added. Pine nuts are used for decoration. Pignoli are baked in the form of small pressed balls.

Sweet pastries and cakes

Dessert recipes for the New Year are not only about cookies with spices - cakes, pastries and muffins can also appear on the festive table. If you have a lot of culinary experience and have some free time, make a Croquembouche: a French dessert in the form of a large mountain of round profiteroles with custard. Those looking for simpler sweet recipes for the New Year will like these options:

• Pancho cake is a chocolate sponge cake broken into pieces, placed in a heap on a round cake layer and layered with sour cream. The top of the cake (visually similar to lady fingers) is also covered with cream and poured with melted chocolate to create thin drips.
• Brownie is a dessert made from melted chocolate with butter, sugar, eggs, crushed nuts and flour, which is baked in a mold to form a rectangular cake about 5-8 cm high. Before serving, it is cut into portion squares.

New Year's desserts without baking

A simple recipe for a holiday sweet that does not require heat treatment is a cake made from store-bought sponge cakes: cream of whipped plums is placed between them, berries or chocolate chips are placed on top and the dessert is ready. A couple more similar recipes for the New Year:

• Tiramisu - Savoyardi cookies soaked in strong coffee and mascarpone cream with heavy cream are laid out in layers, the dessert is cooled before serving.
• Soviet “sausage” is a mixture of broken shortbread, butter, nuts, cocoa and a couple of spoons of milk, which is boiled until thick and cooled in the form of a wide short loaf.
• Ice cream made from heavy cream, egg yolks, brown sugar and raspberries, garnished with mint leaves - a stunning New Year's dessert for children and adults.

New Year's recipes for the festive table

The only difference between the dishes you prepare for your birthday and those you plan to serve on the Christmas/New Year’s table is in the design: even the classic recipe for jellied fish can be given a new twist for each holiday.

What should be on the New Year's table 2019

Some people, when choosing recipes for the New Year, focus on the eastern calendar, trying to “appease” their patron animal. The Yellow Earth Dog - the symbol of 2019 - needs nourishing food, so you should definitely prepare meat: sliced ​​meat, steaks, aspic, kebabs, etc. It will be supplemented with plant products - side dishes of cereals, herbs, vegetables, preferably brown or yellow.

Italian pasta salad

Cold pasta salad is a classic banquet dish, popular all over the world - from the USA to Italy. It is best to choose medium-sized pasta for this salad: fusilli (spirals), farfalle (bows) or perline (small shells). Pasta of different colors is perfect.

Salmon and lavash appetizer

Red fish and winter holidays seem to be made for each other! A delicious salmon appetizer - an excellent replacement for sandwiches.
