On New Year's Eve, many housewives had the feeling that they were so tired of preparing the New Year's table that they didn’t even want any holiday. After all, not every cook has assistants. How to find a way out so that the table will please your family and guests, and at the same time not feel like a “squirrel in a wheel”?

We propose to make an option holiday table in the form of a buffet. The New Year's buffet has several advantages at once. First, it is original and unusual option. Secondly, guests will not be overfed and they will have the strength to dance, have fun, and not just sit and actively consume treats. And thirdly, the New Year's buffet is a relief for the hostess. So, what dishes will be appropriate on the New Year's buffet table?

1. Canape. These are sandwiches of a very small size, the weight of which does not exceed 50-80 g. A thin loaf or baguette is perfect for their preparation. Pate is smeared on them various kinds or put pieces of cheese, ham, salted red fish or vegetables. In order to make it convenient to eat sandwiches, they are supplied with skewers, which also serve as an additional element of decor.

About canapes, whose homeland is France, they say that they are “one bite”. They are posted on big dish, you can place several views on it at once. Be sure to take care of decorating sandwiches. For example, you can make small stars from hard cheese, salmon roses, squirrel lilies chicken egg.




2. Meat and fish cuts. So that guests do not leave hungry and dissatisfied, of course, it is necessary meat dish. But if you don’t have enough inspiration for oven-baked pork or turkey, you can buy store-bought baked pork. They will cut it there, it remains only to arrange it on plates, making half meat and half with pieces of cheese.

It will probably be very difficult to find a guest who does not like slightly salted salmon or trout. They have only one drawback: they are eaten at breakneck speed. Sliced ​​can be served on crackers. It will be more attractive than just putting it on a plate.




3. Red caviar. This is also a product that for many is an indispensable attribute of the New Year's feast. How to present it beautifully? We offer two options. The first is to buy tartlets from puff or shortcrust pastry. And you need to take them in the smallest size, for caviar - this is what you need.

If you couldn’t find tartlets, which is quite possible in the New Year’s bustle, don’t be discouraged, there is a great way out: use fresh cucumber circles as a base. To do this, you need to cut the cucumbers not too thin, then slightly remove the pulp, adding a little salted sour cream with herbs instead. Spread caviar on top - mini-sandwiches are ready.

And you can cook for the buffet for the New Year.




4. Vegetables and fruits. Now in stores you can buy vegetables and fruits not only in season, but at any time of the year. At the New Year's buffet, they will come in handy. Moreover, the festive “ikebana” laid out from tomatoes and cucumbers will become a decoration of the New Year's table. Do not forget about the greens of dill, parsley or any other to your taste.

Fruit can be served on skewers by putting together, for example, a slice of kiwi, a banana and a few grapes. This way of serving will look very attractive and appetizing. New Year is impossible to imagine without tangerines. Your guests will be delighted if you cook chocolate-covered tangerines. To do this, melt it in a water bath, dip each slice into it and put it in the refrigerator to harden. This is easy to do, and your efforts will definitely be appreciated!




5. Edible Christmas tree. Of course, on your New Year's table there will definitely be bright napkins, beautiful glasses and twigs of spruce or pine. What do you think of the idea of ​​making an edible Christmas tree? Depending on the size of the table, there may be one or more. The basis for spruce is half an apple, take raw carrots as a trunk.

You will also need a lot of toothpicks, which will play the role of the branches of our Christmas tree. They wear the most different fruits which are available. Fruits and berries of contrasting colors will look beautiful: for example, strawberries, kiwi, dark grapes. Keep in mind that many fruits (pears, apples, bananas) darken in the air, so they must be sprinkled lemon juice. So your fairy tree is ready.



As you can see, it will take much less time to prepare such a New Year's buffet table than you are used to, so the New Year's buffet table is a relief for the hostess. And after the holiday there will be no need to sit on weekly diet to get in shape after traditional Olivier and Mimosa salads, as well as baked duck with apples. We wish you a pleasant holiday!

If a magnificent New Year's feast is not the goal, if you want an active holiday with a light snack or there is no time for complex and lengthy preparations, then a buffet table is a way out. Easy to prepare and beautifully decorated appetizers will create a festive mood and decorate the table. But the most important thing is that the chef will not get too tired on the eve of New Year's Eve, and will be able to take an active part in the holiday, and not sit tired and unnoticed in the corner, waiting for the end of the festive fun, in order to quickly wash the dishes and, finally, have a real rest.

The main principles of snacks on the festive table

As taught in culinary guides, textbooks on nutrition technology and encyclopedias, an appetizer is served with an aperitif, before the main courses. She, like alcoholic beverages, should excite the appetite. But this is a classic idea of ​​appetizers, and it is acceptable for a banquet that includes first and second courses, as well as dessert. If we are talking about a buffet table, then the role of cold appetizers increases significantly, and they must be satisfying, since there are no other dishes on the menu.

The conclusion suggests itself: if the hostess plans to serve jelly and aspic, Olivier and fur coats, as well as other goodies, then snack table you can completely limit sandwiches with caviar, sausage, cheese, fish and vegetable cuts.

Cocktail salads, sandwiches, canapes, bruschettas and other types of snacks are intended for a buffet table, " buffet". This way of serving is convenient when there is not enough space in the room intended for receiving guests to place tables and chairs, or, for example, the festive program consists of dances, games, competitions, and a banquet with long sitting at the table does not fit into this framework.

In this case, the buffet menu should not only consist of light, sour or salty snacks but also be more satisfying.

Of course, all gastronomic compositions must be very beautifully designed: aesthetics in cooking is half the success, and its importance cannot be underestimated. Creative fantasy is appropriate here, creating a New Year's mood: decorating dishes in the form of Christmas trees, toys and other invariable attributes for the New Year.

Simple rules for preparing snacks are much easier to follow when there are already well-established ideas. Therefore, in addition to what has been said, we attach simple recipes, which will help to quickly "build" a chic table.

If your home or office at the time of the New Year's Eve turns into an "assembly point" for a large number of guests who, as a rule, will bring their other friends with them, then the best solution for your New Year's party will be table "a la buffet"- it is covered for receptions with large quantity guests.

Initially, the reception a la buffet was invented in France. This method of organizing a ceremonial table has a number of advantages. A buffet table is a way of receiving guests, which eliminates the need to purchase additional pieces of furniture, since the main purpose of the reception is communication, not a feast.

In most cases, the buffet table is associated with the need to organize the reception of guests in a short time. The name itself can literally be translated from French as “on a fork”, which characterizes the whole process of eating.

The advantage of a buffet table is that the number of guests is not related to the amount of furniture in the house. An additional plus for the hostess is that she does not need to worry about the serving of dishes, the degree of their warmth and the filling of guests' plates.

Guests move freely around the room, gather according to interest groups, communicate freely, choosing those snacks on the table that are more to their taste. Snacks should be quite diverse: variety is the key to a good buffet!

Several useful recipes

Buffets always offer up to three options for dishes. For example, side dishes: boiled potatoes with parsley, dill and onion, vegetables, rice with saffron; meat and fish dishes : kebabs, red fish steaks, chicken breast in sauce. And as for salads, tartlets, puff sandwiches and canapes - they can be prepared innumerable.

Don't forget the meals cheese platter. Cheese- high-calorie and very delicious product. And now there are so many types of cheese on sale that you can easily lay out several plates of hard and soft varieties. And to top it off, cater to your vegetarian guests. Cheese is cut into pieces of 25-40 gr. Varieties are not too close to each other in a clockwise direction, for example: first spicy blue cheese, then soft cheese with a penicillin-like camembert crust, then a hard, mild and sliced ​​spicy. The classic addition to cheese is grapes. Pear and melon slices are combined with cheese.

Even the hostess should not forget about pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, corn on the cob, champignons, bell pepper, cauliflower, as well as olives and spicy salted herring.

Appetizers, several types of sliced ​​bread, salads are placed closer to the edge. The second tier in the depth is sweet dishes, pastries, fruits. Each dish with food should have an appropriate device with which you can put a portion on your plate.

Buffet serving depends, among other things, on the position of the table: if it can be approached from all sides, then serve buffet table u need in a circle.

Spices are traditional - salt and pepper. If sauces are required for dishes, they are placed next to the corresponding dishes.

Soft drinks when serving are poured into glasses or served in jugs. Alcoholic drinks put in open bottles groups at different ends of the table, next to the glasses. For used dishes, an additional, small table is placed next to the main table, on which guests will put the empty dishes.

There are no restrictions for the buffet menu. The only requirement concerns the convenience of the dishes. For the most part this variety of snacks which are easy to put on a plate and eat.

Since the same devices are used for table setting as for a regular feast, the dishes can be varied. The only requirement is that the dishes for the buffet should be served already cut and divided into portions - they should be in such a form that it is most convenient for guests to put them on an individual plate and treat themselves, as they say, "on the go." If it is a fish, then in the form of a fillet, if it is chicken pieces, then without bones.

Tartlets

Tartlets are small cups of dough prepared according to a certain recipe, which are filled various fillings- meat, fish, mushroom, vegetable. In some recipes, stuffed tartlets are filled with sauce and then left in the oven for a short time to thicken the sauce. Perfect for tartlets shortbread dough with the addition of an egg or yolk.

Tartlets with caviar. Delicious, beautiful, fast.
