How to set the New Year's table 2018

The Yellow Earth Dog loves its color, so choosing the main color of the interior and the New Year's table should be from shades of yellow. The most winning option is gold. Of course, one should not think that all devices must be made of precious metal. Gold goes well with white, so use both colors together. But it is not recommended to mix gold with silver (gray) - this will immediately ruin the effect of solemnity.
A snow-white tablecloth with an unobtrusive gold ornament can serve as a symbol of your taste and restraint.

You can use almost any dishes: from bright yellow shades to muted and noble brown. An option for white plates with gold edging would be appropriate. You should choose napkins either to match the color of the tablecloth (it’s good if they come with the set and harmonize) or to match the color of the service, although the latter option is quite difficult. Golden candlesticks will complement the beauty of the New Year's table decoration.

Vegetarian New Year's dishes

If you or one of your guests, for some reason, does not currently eat meat, then it would not hurt to come up with one or two dishes to satisfy such tastes.

Vegetarian vegetable lasagne

Puff pastry – 1 package (you can use thin pita bread);
Carrots – 1 pc.;
Bell pepper – 2 large pieces;
Olives (you can use olives) – half a jar;
Water – 150 ml;
Tomato paste – 2 tbsp. l.;
Bechamel sauce - 200 ml;
Salt – 1 tsp;
Sugar – 2 tsp;
Spices: coriander, pepper, turmeric, herbes de Provence.

To prepare this New Year's dish, fry the spices in oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped carrots and chopped peppers. After a few minutes, add tomato paste to the mixture and simmer until all ingredients can be easily pierced with a fork. When the stewing is complete, sprinkle the mixture with ground pepper, add Provençal herbs and leave to infuse under the lid. At this time, prepare the dough/lavash. Rub the baking dish generously with oil and spread the sauce over the surface, place a sheet of dough on top and place about a third of the stewed vegetables on it. Top with sauce again and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat this with each layer until you run out of filling. Decorate the last layer with olives and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees.

Every housewife strives to prepare an excellent festive dinner and set a magnificent table for the New Year. How to prepare and serve the perfect gala dinner on New Year's Eve 2030?

New Year 2030: setting the festive table

The ideal New Year's dinner consists of dishes that go well together, are perfectly prepared and served. Even the simplest dish, beautifully decorated and placed on a well-served table, makes a New Year's impression and seems tastier. Therefore, when preparing for a festive dinner for the New Year, you need to pay no less attention to serving than to 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 tablecloth in gray, beige or pearl colors. Napkins for guests should be made of the same fabric as the tablecloth and harmonize 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 fir branch, decorate it with beads and golden cones, and place a beautiful candle in the middle. Another option for the New Year 2030: take a small tray and place on it a composition of a spruce branch, several cones, golden glass balls, tangerines and small helium candles.

For each guest, you need to place a placeholder plate on the New Year's table, with a snack plate on it. 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 place a separate table to place drinks, a supply of napkins, clean plates, glasses and cutlery. Remember that for salads and main courses, two different forks are placed in front of the guests, and before the New Year's dessert, the table is completely re-set.

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

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

Let's start with the fact that this year's New Year's 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 recommended to serve several meat appetizers, cold cuts and cheese, and there must also be a hot meat dish. You can also serve fish, but definitely sea fish.

Be sure to serve vegetables with meat, and for fruits add apples and oranges and add these fruits to desserts. If you want to prepare baked goods for New Year's dinner, then avoid products made from yeast dough, giving preference to puff pastry, unleavened or shortbread.

Cold and hot snacks for the New Year 2030

Any holiday dinner begins with appetizers. This year, the New Year's table must include cold cuts. The classic cold cuts consist of roast beef, thinly sliced boiled veal, ham and boiled tongue.

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

From salads in New 2030 year, it is best to serve traditional “Olivier” and herring “under a fur coat”, vinaigrette, “Stolichny” or salad with salmon or tuna. This choice of snacks is determined by the tastes of the owner of the year - the Dog. And she loves, as already mentioned, hearty, traditional and quite simple food.

In addition to cold snacks, you can pamper your family and guests with hot ones. For example, noble mushrooms stewed in cream, envelopes with meat filling made from puff pastry or potato nests with eggs and ham.

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

Hot dishes for the New Year of the White Dog

This year we are definitely preparing a meat dish for main course. It is best if it is veal, beef or lamb, although you can also serve a pork dish.

Stew lamb with prunes; lamb ribs baked in the oven turn out very tasty. And if you cook lamb with rosemary and spicy seasonings in a baking bag for the New Year 2030, marinating the meat overnight in a mixture of dry white wine and pomegranate syrup, you will get a tender hot dish without the specific taste typical of lamb dishes.

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

This year’s pork can be cooked with the White Dog’s favorite oranges.. Offer your guests, for example, pork medallions in oranges. To prepare the dish, you need to salt and pepper the pork medallions, fry until golden brown, and then add freshly squeezed orange juice and finely grated zest, shallots, veal broth, a couple of spoons of honey and a little turmeric to the pan with the meat. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. This hot dish for the 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, fried in an air fryer or in boiling olive oil, and served with stewed meat. But mashed potatoes go well with meat prepared for the New Year with dried fruits. It can be squeezed out with a pastry syringe in the shape of a Christmas tree and baked in the oven for a little while. And decorate the top with a tomato star.

Oven-baked meat dishes can be paired with a side dish of mixed vegetables, such as onion, bell pepper and tomato stew, or with grilled vegetables. A very easy New Year's side dish: steamed Brussels sprouts or battered cauliflower - go with almost anything.

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

Desserts and drinks for the New Year 2030

To prepare desserts this year, be sure to use the Dog’s favorite fruits: apples and oranges. A traditional New Year's dessert, which is recommended to be served in the coming 2030, is baked apples. They can be made with honey, cottage cheese and raisins, honey, raisins and nuts, with blackberries and ice cream, or with vanilla sauce. You can serve puff pastries with apple filling, apple strudel or marshmallow for dessert. 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 prepare the soufflé, make syrup from 200 grams of sugar and two glasses of water. Then cut 6 oranges into halves, select and chop the pulp, and boil it in the syrup until it becomes transparent. Beat 5 whites until foamy, add prepared orange jam to the whites and continue beating. Then carefully add 2 tbsp. spoons of sifted starch. Place the resulting mixture into halves of orange peels. Bake the soufflé in the oven for 15 minutes, serve hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

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

Select holiday drinks based on the dishes you will be preparing. It is customary to serve dry or semi-dry white wines with cold appetizers if they are fish appetizers, and dry or semi-dry red wines with meat appetizers. Chilled vodka goes well with salty and spicy snacks. Meat dishes are usually combined with dry or semi-dry red wines. Dessert wine is served with fruit desserts, and liqueurs and vintage cognac are served with tea and coffee.

For non-alcoholic drinks, buy several types of juices, sparkling and still mineral water. This year it is recommended to remember the not so long ago tradition of preparing homemade cranberry juice for the holiday. If you can find lemonade prepared according to Soviet recipes in stores, buy several bottles for the holiday. The Mistress of the Year really likes it when old traditions are respected.

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