The New Year's table is not only a meeting place for relatives or friends, it can become the highlight of the evening, help complement the festive night and show your imagination. correct serving New Year's table can cause a storm of emotions and delight in guests.

In addition, as mentioned above, you can show your imagination and show creative thinking, good taste. Table setting is an important part of any meal, and in view of new year holidays she deserves more attention. Thus, from a simple gala dinner you will be able to create a masterpiece.

Modern approach

If you want to get graceful forms, like expensive and luxurious materials, for example, feathers decorated with rhinestones, furs, mirrors and crystal, then this option is for you.

The predominant color in this composition is white. And this is natural: it is a symbol of elegance, goes well with other shades and looks quite simple. Creating any mood with it is quite simple. Goes well with white pink color, you can additionally use blue or turquoise.

To properly arrange the table, you first need to decide where the Christmas tree will be placed. If it is located next to the table, you should start with it. Pick up toys that are made in white, pink, golden colors or transparent. Gifts wrap in paper of the same shades.

Having dressed up the Christmas tree, go to the festive table. The tablecloth should be white. In general, everything should look quite simple: napkins and white dishes. At the same time, you still have a lot of space where you could show your imagination and complement the composition with creativity, elegance and richness.

To add some zest to the design, you can make small Christmas trees from thick cardboard. Decorate them in golden and pink shades.

Take transparent glass jars in which you usually store cereals. They can be placed toys, in the form of small animals. If you sprinkle toys with flour or powdered sugar, it will give the impression of snow-covered animals. Such a composition will look great in the middle of the table.

Think in advance how you will seat everyone. This will help you make another interesting move: make name cards, for example, in the form of a symbol of the coming year and fix them near champagne glasses - this will pleasantly surprise your guests.

Scandinavian style

The name itself speaks for itself. Nordic restraint prevails here, natural objects, deliberate simplicity, but with all these features, this design is quite elegant.

If you choose given style serving, you will have to use White color in combination with other natural shades: the color of the spring sky, sea wave, turquoise, etc. At the same time, there are several rules, for example, the tablecloth must be white, and guests can put napkins in gray.

In order to create the right mood, for the center of the table you will have to perform the following composition: plant edelweiss flowers in a large dish. All this beauty can be decorated using moss and Pine cones. It will turn out quite original, and spruce branches are perfect as a runner.

Plates can be decorated with images of deer or snowflakes. Candlesticks and candles should also be placed on. The material for them can be any, but glass, wood, stone, etc. are especially suitable.

Take Christmas decorations and put them between glasses for guests. Name cards can be attached to them.

Ecostyle

In this serving option, you need to show that all the items you use are made exclusively from natural materials. The basis of the design is to flaunt the natural texture. Well, if the table is made of wood, then you should not cover it completely with a tablecloth, but leave the edges in order to show the guests a beautiful natural pattern.

The rest of the items that you will use to decorate your idea can be made from fruits, shells, natural fabrics and other exclusively natural materials. At the same time, three mandatory colors must be present in the entire composition: beige, green and brown. Once again, we will clarify that literally all the items you used in the design should show their naturalness and natural origin.

With a wooden table, you may not even need a tablecloth - put everything directly on the table. The runner for such a table should be made of linen.

Giant white wax candles and branches of pine needles will look great in the center of the table. Don't overcrowd the design with too many elements: it can even be a little rough and simple. You can add decoration with bows.

Decorate napkins with burlap, and guests will love this little surprise like a little gingerbread you baked.

Classic style

For this option, you will have to spend some significant amount of money, because. this style is dominated expensive materials: crystal, silver, porcelain and gilding. This is a tribute Victorian era and the dominance of capitalism.

According to the established tradition, many housewives of our country begin preparations for the new year on the last day of the outgoing year. If December 31 falls on a working day, then there is very little time left to set the festive table. How to plan well holiday menu so that the guests are full and happy, and there are no leftovers, and at the same time the family budget does not suffer?
In this article, we will try to answer these questions, as well as compile sample menu for guests of 4-5 people. We will also pay attention to the decor of the New Year's table.

To begin with, we will decide where and with whom we celebrate the New Year, and who will be responsible for the festive table. Will it be quiet romantic dinner for two or noisy family gatherings Or maybe it will be a trip out of town. In any case, this issue must be resolved in advance. After all, the New Year's budget is planned based on family (personal) financial capabilities so that it is not at the expense of the wallet. It is also worth considering that after New Year's Eve there is a series of New Year holidays and holidays.

So, we make a list of guests, taking into account taste preferences every guest. This will be a small guide for the next steps in planning. Next, we calculate the approximate budget for spending on the New Year's table and write everything down in a notebook. It remains to decide how much time we are willing to spend on cooking festive dishes. Ideally, for any woman, it will be the best thing to dedicate yourself to your beloved on December 31, pamper yourself, do your hair, make-up, take a walk and relax a bit. We will proceed from the fact that we would like to spend no more than an hour on cooking on December 31.

In preparation New Year's menu it is important to observe the measure. After all, it is still night, and we do not strive to overeat. We prefer low-fat foods. On the table, appetizers from seafood, lean meats will be appropriate. We make a menu based on 1 kg of food per person. In order to find out how much by weight to buy products, you can use the following standard data (per person):

1. assorted meat (from three types of meat or sausage) - 40 gr each
2. assorted fish - 40 gr
3. assorted vegetables (fresh or pickled vegetables) - 50 gr.
4. cheese plate(1-2 types of cheese) - 30 gr
5. bread - 50 gr
6. Olivier salad - 150 gr
7. hot - 200 gr
8. fruit - 200 gr
9. dessert - 150-200 gr
10. Non-alcoholic drinks (fruit juices, mineral water) - 0.5 l

If you want to put sliced ​​​​and peeled fruit on the table, then a set of canapé sticks is placed nearby so that it is convenient to take them. Bananas are not recommended to be cut for the festive table, as they blacken very quickly and lose their palatability.
There is also the issue of alcohol. Men, as a rule, prefer strong drinks (vodka, martini, cognac), women - softer ones (champagne, white and red wine, light cocktails). On average, they calculate 0.5 l alcoholic beverages per person.

We make a shopping list based on the planned menu, plan the dates for going to the store. Do not forget about the weekend, for which you also need to stock up on food. We also pay attention to those products that tend to end suddenly: salt, sugar, tea, coffee. We also add to the list the items and products necessary for table setting. And of course, we plan a trip to the store in advance, at least two weeks in advance, so as not to push in queues and sweep the remaining products from store shelves.

There is no need to be afraid that suddenly there is not enough food. It is enough to have some products in reserve: sausage, cheese, baked meat, as well as fruits. Even if unexpected guests come, you can always quickly arrange the cut and put it on the table. This will save you from unnecessary trouble in the kitchen, and you won’t have to give out after New Year’s Eve great amount leftover untouched food to guests and friends.

Since we don’t really want to spend the rest of the day at the stove, and we decided that we are ready to spend only an hour on cooking, we will select dishes taking into account their processing and cooking time. For example, for a salad like Olivier, you can boil, peel and cut vegetables in advance. Make it December 30th. Place everything in a container and refrigerate without stirring. Before New Year's Eve it remains only to fill with mayonnaise. If the festive table will decorate the cake of your own preparation, then the cakes for it can be prepared for the future even for a week. And on the eve of them, just soak them with cream and decorate. You can also prepare meat for hot dishes. For baking - marinate for a day and put in a cold place. Or prepare a semi-finished product and freeze in freezer. Hot garnish - at your discretion. Although for New Year's Eve, the side dish is likely to be superfluous. It will be enough to serve meat with fresh or pickled vegetables, decorated with herbs. If there are more guests, do not plan more dishes. It would be more correct to simply increase the volume of products used in the menu for the number of guests you are waiting for.

For yourself, you can paint everything on paper, indicating the time for preparing each dish. Then it is more convenient to make some adjustments and outline on which day and what you will cook. We also include time for table decor in our plan.

Everyone knows that the monkey is a lover natural products. This means that New Year's recipes should be light, contain less smoked, fatty, semi-frozen food.

Delicate appetizers, fresh vegetables, salads and fruit desserts perfect composition new year table 2016.

Remember also that the monkey is a playful animal, nimble, loving variety. Therefore, focus your attention not on the volume of dishes, but on their quantity. The more dishes, the better! Cold appetizers, dessert dishes, fruit and vegetable cuts should be taken as a basis - this is what the monkey likes the most.

Of course, you should pay attention to the design of these dishes. Usually sliced ​​dishes are not the highlight of the table. beautiful decorations, original servings, expensive salad bowls and vases - that's what will attract the attention of the monkey. The decoration of the entire table should also be at a height. Based on the fact that everything shiny attracts the monkey, let there be a lot of tinsel and compositions with balls on the table. Remember that the monkey is a herbivore, so it would be most logical to make the New Year's menu completely vegetarian, but some people may not like this solution, so focus on the lightness of the dishes.

Remember what you feed the monkeys at the zoo? This is what should form the basis of the New Year's menu for the meeting of 2016: fruits, berries, sweets, crackers.

However, the champagne would have cheered the monkey too.

But the monkey treats drunk people very badly, so it's best not to abuse it with alcohol. Children can put milkshakes, compotes and juices from fruits and berries, fruit drinks on the table.

Ideally, adults should also switch to soft drinks. New Year's table 2016 may well be decorated with unusual cocktails that a monkey would definitely appreciate.
