Pleasant chores

Preparing a variety of dishes for the festive New Year's table is a very labor-intensive task. And at the same time pleasant. I want everything to go perfectly. If you satisfy the needs and whims of the Fire Rooster, then he will gratefully accept all efforts and will be friendly throughout the year.

In the pre-holiday bustle, they devote a lot of time to choosing gifts, decorating their home, and begin to plan an outfit for the celebration in advance, and they do all this, taking into account the features and requirements of the symbol of the upcoming New Year.

This is not to say that the table receives little attention, but when purchasing expensive products, housewives often focus on the preferences of their family, and from year to year they prepare their favorite dishes, but the same ones. This is a big mistake. Special attention should be paid to treats when celebrating the New Year.

What to put on our beautiful table?

When deciding what to cook for the Year of the Rooster and what menu to choose for the New Year, we will take into account the preferences of the future symbol - elegance, simplicity, naturalness. To appease the Fire Rooster, remember that this is a bird that cannot be called greedy. That's why The main wish for the New Year's table is prosperity, not excess. Don’t try to be sophisticated in culinary delights - dishes should be understandable, not too pretentious, but offer a choice for a wide variety of tastes.

The traditional set - appetizers, salads, cold cuts, sandwiches, main course and dessert - will provide a tasty and plentiful feast worthy of a fiery representative of birds.

What doesn't belong on the table

In order not to upset the proud bird, think about what dishes on your menu the Rooster would not be happy about. The answer will come immediately - prepared from its relatives!

1. Rule No. 1 for the New Year's table 2017: no chicken! If you really love roast poultry, it’s better to cook some kind of poultry competitor: duck, goose or turkey.
2. The Rooster, who is responsible for his offspring, can be wary of overly openly served egg dishes: stuffed, jellied, or used whole in a salad, for example, in the form of mushrooms or snowmen. At the same time, eggs may well be included in other dishes: it is no secret that chickens willingly feast on them.

Preferred products for New Year's dishes

When thinking about creating a menu, choose products that suit the taste of your family and guests, while not contradicting the symbolism of this year.

1. A maximum of vegetables, a wide variety, preferably multi-colored ones, especially “fiery” shades.
2. Fish and other seafood: a representative of Eastern culture (the Chinese calendar!) will certainly please this.
3. Side dishes are always to the taste of the feathered symbol. Of course, cereal dishes may seem rustic for the New Year's table, but the same rice can be prepared in a very unusual and festive way.
4. Salads should not be too complex, with a large number of ingredients: the Rooster loves “understandable”, simple, traditionally loved tastes. Make your family's favorite holiday salads.
5. For dessert, take care of the baking, because the grains from which the flour is made are the first treat for the Rooster, and then there will be such delicious crumbs left! It is better for the dishes to be prepared with your own hands, rather than bought ready-made: poultry will appreciate the invested family energy and increase it. A very good option is painted gingerbread cookies hung on a Christmas tree. The country bird will also be delighted with curd desserts like cheesecake.
6. Don't skimp on the greens: what could be better for a rooster than fresh grass? Use it in salads and also when decorating dishes.
7. When choosing between homemade and store-bought ones, give preference to more natural products. For example, homemade mayonnaise for salads is much tastier than store-bought, and milk for custard certainly should not be powdered. You need to put your hands on this New Year's table: believe me, the result will be worth it!

Chicken meat can always be replaced with turkey or any other meat, and chicken eggs with duck or quail eggs.

The Rooster does not have any special requirements for drinks, but still, as a male representative, he will like stronger options, although he should not refuse traditional champagne when the chimes strike.

Hot dish. What main dish to choose for the Year of the Rooster

There are two options: either traditional chicken, or quail, duck, or goose prepared in the same way. They will be inferior in taste to chicken, and maybe guests will like them more.

You can also prepare a beef roll or home-style roast with pork as the main dish. It doesn’t hurt to bring the dish to a crispy crust during cooking, and decorate it brighter when serving.

We offer a few more New Year's hot dishes to choose from.
