“In order not to feel completely tired on the 31st, I usually choose such dishes that can be partially prepared the day before — I marinate meat, cook vegetables and eggs for salads, bake eclairs and cakes for a cake, because what kind of holiday is it if we spend all our strength at the stove? Let’s always remain beautiful and cheerful — both on holidays and every day!”, – says Yulia Healthy Food Near Me. Friends, have you already made a festive menu?

Salad with herring
The most delicious herring is in Amsterdam, from there the recipe comes.
Salad “Olivier” with homemade mayonnaise
Do not be afraid to make mayonnaise at home — you need a small whisk and a small bowl, then everything will work out! As for Olivier himself, crabs are a festive option, pickles can be replaced with fresh ones, and I sometimes put capers instead of green peas.
Shrimp with ginger and honey under the grill
To prevent the skewers from being burned, they must first be soaked in water. Instead of honey, you can use maple syrup or sugar.
Christmas goose with applesauce
Yes, yes, this is a festive dish! But there must be holidays in our life! My friend from Sweden shared the recipe with me. I especially liked the combination of fried potato crust, tender meat and sweet apple puree with a sharp, rich taste. Instead of port wine, you can add madeira or sherry, and replace redcurrant jam with jam.
Salmon marinated in gin with juniper
Cut the fish into thin slices and serve with sour cream sauce. A great snack!
Beef stewed in red wine with tomatoes and horseradish
Beef, when it has good connective tissue and a little fat, becomes very tender with a long languor, if you have time, you can lower the temperature to 140-150°With and keep the meat in the oven — you won’t believe it! “not even ten o’clock! Such beef can also be eaten cold, like roast beef, that is, it is absolutely ideal when there are a lot of guests at the table for the New Year, and on January 1 they finish eating. Thyme and rosemary can be taken dry.
There are many recipes for Madeleine cakes, which Marcel Proust wrote about, but these are very special-with lemon and blueberries. To make the dough more tender and airy, some confectioners recommend letting it stand for a day, or even three days! I tried, but, to be honest, I didn’t notice much difference. Madeleines should be served warm by all means.
New Year’s Fondane
If you want the dessert to be taken out of the molds, lubricate them with butter from the inside and sprinkle with sugar, cocoa or crushed nuts. And you can also bake a fondue in a cooking ring lined with oiled baking paper.
Almond cake with raspberries
Instead of apple cider vinegar, vanilla, or white wine, or cider vinegar is suitable — the main thing is that it is not too vigorous. Before adding powdered sugar to the yolks, either sift through a sieve or mash with a spoon. If the eggs do not beat well, add a little more sugar, and if you do not have two identical forms, bake the cakes one after the other.
Nut and coffee cake “Ideal”
Strong alcohol will suit anyone. Regular coffee can be replaced with barley or decaffeinated coffee, and for children coffee and alcohol are not required at all — you can soak the cake with sugar syrup, and instead of coffee add 1 tablespoon of cocoa diluted in 1 tablespoon of boiling water to the dough.
