Perhaps every culinary site has already noted this material. On New Year’s Eve, the theme of the festive table is one of the most relevant. Foodandmood will not stand aside either, we also decided to offer our beloved readers our vision of the festive table.
Just want to remind you of the main prohibition on this New Year’s Eve – there should not be pork on it. It is up to each of you to adhere to this rule or not, but astrologers strongly recommend not to tempt the symbol of the next year – the Yellow Earth Pig and not to remind her of how ruthlessly people treat her.
Choosing a tablecloth
Since the pig is Yellow and Earthen, that is, the following options for tablecloths:
- Tablecloth in all shades of yellow. The property of this color is to whet the appetite and cheer up, which means the holiday will be very positive, will take place on a friendly wave.
- Tablecloth olive, brown, warm gray, soft smoky gray, green. These colors are more difficult for the tablecloth, more unusual and, perhaps, if you choose them for your table, it will be incredibly sophisticated. The main thing is the correctly selected dishes, napkins, decor.
But it is better not to lay a white tablecloth, since the Pig may decide that you are pointing out to her that it is imperfect in terms of cleanliness.
Main courses and side dishes
Let’s start with the main dishes. The following options seemed to us the most suitable for the New Year’s table-2019:
- unshakable classic – Duck with apples
- unusual and promising combination – Beef with oranges
- beef or veal can be used to cook delicious Greek-style meat
- gourmets will appreciate such a dish as Duck in cherry sauce
- and, of course, the classic – Boeuf bourguignon
As for the side dishes, we have collected the most suitable for the festive table in the article “Delicious side dishes for the New Year’s table”.
A special word is salads!
These are decorations for the New Year’s meal, which should be both tasty and elegant. It is better to cook at least 3 salads and it is desirable that they all be different. We have collected the most spectacular New Year’s salads in the article “5 best New Year’s salads”, and also our editors are imbued with special love for salads with oranges – spicy, tasty and elegant.
But I would also like to highlight a gorgeous salad with red caviar “Princely Luxury”. And to draw the attention of dear readers to the new Olivier recipe from Evgeny Klopotenko – from baked vegetables.
Snack time!
Of course, you cannot do without meat and cheese slicing, which is traditional for every festive table – just we advise you to decorate it creatively.
A good recipe is the “Marble Meat” appetizer, made from chicken breast and looks impressive in the cut, so that the guests will like it.
For a sumptuous table, we recommend preparing snacks with red fish. In the selection of New Year’s snacks with red fish, we shared 6 delicious and non-trivial recipes at once.
By the way, if we talk about non-banality, then here is another recipe that stands out for its originality – the Favorite Sandwich Cake.
Sweets on the New Year’s table
Many people cannot imagine a New Year’s table without sweets. Here we also carefully selected the best recipes. You will find them in the materials “5 recipes for delicious desserts for the New Year” and “Cake for a special occasion”. But we consider the chic “Bump” cake to be the most New Year’s.
Pour!
What drinks to serve for the New Year’s table – this question is asked by everyone who sets the table for the holiday. This, of course, champagne and all sorts of interesting cocktails.
And in order not to go too far with alcohol and not fall asleep before the president’s speech, we advise you to prepare invigorating hot chocolate according to the Aztec recipe or the still trendy armored coffee.
Let your New Year be delicious, fun and memorable!
