Place herring fillets cut into equal pieces in the center of the dish. Cut the cold smoked mackerel along the main bone, separate the fillet and cut into pieces the same size as the herring. Lay out on the right and left. Add sliced fish with lemon slices, olive rings and fresh parsley leaves.

Sliced mackerel, shrimp and fish roll

Place chopped parsley in the center of a large dish, and place a purple or regular onion on top, cut like a chrysanthemum. Carefully place the sliced fish roll around. Throw in the next ring of boiled eggs, cut in half, with small caviar laid on top. Then pieces of mackerel on lemon slices, alternating them with pre-peeled and boiled or pickled shrimp.

Cold cuts will always attract the attention of guests and arouse keen interest. For this cutting, you can choose the product that you like best. The assortment is wide: pork ham, ham, boiled and smoked sausages, tongue, lard with meat layer, basturma, balyk, various smoked meats. On a holiday platter, you can complement this cut with various vegetables and sprigs of rosemary.

To keep your meat cuts thin and looking neat, use a slicer or a knife with a sharp blade. If necessary, the semi-finished product can be placed in the freezer for a few minutes (for easy hardening). After this, the pieces will definitely turn out beautiful and even!

Cut the loaf or white bread first into thin slices and then into circles without crusts, using a glass with a sharp edge or a round cookie cutter. Fold the circles in pairs, layering them with either processed sandwich cheese or a cut-out circle of hard cheese. Place a leaf of green lettuce and an assembled slice of bacon or ham on top. Stick the entire structure with a skewer skewered with a yellow or red cherry tomato.

There is very little time left before the New Year 2018. But there is still so much to do! For example, think over the New Year's menu for 2018. Our hostesses know for sure: the success and mood of the magical and long-awaited holiday depends on how well thought out it is.

It just so happened that this time, when compiling the New Year's menu for 2018, we will look at the preferences and passions of the owner or hostess of the next year. In the coming year, the reins of power are taken from the vociferous Rooster by the Yellow Earth Dog - a reliable, devoted and beloved friend of man, which means that it will be much easier to please this animal than some exotic one. The Hostess of the Year loves home-cooked food, simple and satisfying. So, this holiday will not take us by surprise. We already know how to please the Dog, and let’s start by creating the 2018 New Year’s menu, of course, with appetizers and salads.

How does this usually happen with us? “We won’t cook a lot, but limit ourselves to a couple of salads and several types of appetizers”... Be prepared for the fact that the number of amendments in this part of the 2018 New Year’s menu will grow exponentially. Well, how could it be otherwise if you want to try something new and not forget about your favorite snacks?!

Sandwiches

What would New Year be without caviar sandwiches? You simply can’t do without them! Tartlets with red caviar are what you need on the New Year's table. Or at least take sprats, the most budget option, but very tasty. It would seem that sandwiches with sprats won’t surprise anyone now. Ah, no! Add a couple of ingredients to the sprats (boiled eggs, herbs or bell peppers, fresh or pickled cucumber) and you’ll get an excellent New Year’s appetizer with an interesting taste. And I can’t describe in words how wonderful the sprats filling in tartlets looks. By the way, since we are talking about tartlets, they are a real find for modern housewives, especially since there are so many fillings for tartlets that you can cover more than one holiday table.

Snacks

Your favorite stuffed eggs should not be left out either, being rightfully one of the most popular holiday snacks. The choice of fillings for preparing this appetizer is huge, and it is they who turn a seemingly familiar dish into a bright, delicious appetizer. A little tip: if you are preparing deviled eggs in advance, before placing them in the refrigerator where they will await their finest hour, carefully place the plate with the appetizer in a plastic bag. If you don’t do this, the filling and the eggs themselves will dry out and won’t look very appetizing on the New Year’s table.

Since the Dog is very respectful of meat products and cheese, why not make ham rolls or a Christmas tree balls appetizer? And beautiful, and tasty, and original - three in one, if you want.

It’s hard to refuse the traditional Olivier salad and herring under a fur coat, and, in fact, there’s no need to! Get creative with them: design and decorate them in an original way: the Olivier roll appetizer and the Herring under a fur coat salad roll. Or, for example, serve it in orange roses or in glasses so that each layer is visible through clear glass, as in the “Romantic” salad. You can also prepare a new salad, the main thing is that it contains a meat component: boiled or smoked chicken breast, boiled pork, boiled or smoked sausage. And we will be happy to tell you what to combine these ingredients with. Our New Year's menu 2018 is replete with New Year's salads for every taste and budget.

Main course

Now we have reached the main dish of the table - the New Year's hot dish. What's hot to add to the New Year's menu 2018? Most of us puzzle over this question. Why torture yourself like that? The answer is simple: if you decide that there will be only one hot dish on your table, give preference to an already tried and loved dish, traditional for your family.

And what it will be: stuffed chicken or baked chicken fillet, boiled pork, meatloaf with bacon or delicious pork ribs - it’s up to you to decide. The dog will gladly approve of any of your choices, because he loves meat very much.

They say that this year you shouldn’t put fish on the table, they say, the Mistress of the Year doesn’t like it. Every dog, like every person, has its own preferences. So why deny yourself the pleasure and not cook delicious oven-baked fish? Or stuffed pike with a vegetable coat and a cheese crust?

If you still plan to prepare several hot dishes, prepare one of your favorites, and you can experiment with others - you will find plenty of ideas on the pages of our website.

Desserts and sweets

The New Year's menu 2018 cannot do without sweet dishes. For some, New Year is a homemade cake or pastries, gingerbread or New Year's cookies, pies or chocolate roll, while others cannot imagine a magical night without ice cream, fruit salads and all kinds of desserts.

The dog is a big lover of sweets, so an abundance of sweets on the holiday table is 100% success and luck, which it guarantees you in 2018!

Beverages

It would be nice to serve New Year’s drinks not only with sweets, but also with other dishes, but not carbonated ones, but homemade, natural ones: compotes, fruit drinks, juices and better. It’s better to forget about vodka this year. Everyone knows that the Dog cannot tolerate alcohol. Therefore, champagne, light wines, homemade liqueurs, cocktails are just what you need!

Many families have a tradition of taking walks on New Year's Eve. Frozen household members and guests will be warmed by the aromatic, spicy drinks you prepare, which will complement the impressions of the walk and give warmth and comfort.
When compiling the New Year's menu 2018, think through every moment, but do not forget: no matter how beautiful and tasty the dishes you prepare may be, without your smile, good mood, your spiritual care and love that you put into each of them, without your boundless faith in a miracle is just ordinary food, albeit a festive one.

Give your loved ones and friends a real culinary fairy tale! I wish you happiness, goodness and joy in the New Year!

What dishes are not advisable to cook for the New Year 2018

When creating a menu, it’s a good idea to know what you can’t cook for the New Year 2018. What shouldn’t we tease our cute dogs?

Korean cuisine. Rumor has it that these animals are used in cooking there.
All kinds of fast food.
An abundance of sweets.

The dog is more than indifferent to fish products. Therefore, it is worth limiting its preparation. If it’s fish, then it’s baked whole. This will be a sign of abundance. Don't forget that dogs don't like the smell of alcohol. So it's worth thinking about the wine list.

We must pay tribute to the symbol of the coming 2018. He doesn’t particularly limit us. So, inspiration to you when creating a menu and a happy holiday!

It is we, women, who create the New Year's mood, prepare delicious dishes for the table, and make a holiday in the house. We take care of the New Year's table in advance. There should be dishes that will not only be tasty, but will also become a real highlight of the holiday table.

If you believe the signs, then you should celebrate at a richly laid table, so that next year prosperity will not leave this house.

The wonderful recipes with photos that we have collected in one collection will certainly delight you and your guests at the festive table.

After the choice is made, be sure to write down on a piece of paper which recipes you chose, and on the back make a list of products that you should definitely buy. This will help you not forget anything when you go shopping, because on New Year's Eve the stores are so busy that you can forget everything in the world. Therefore, you need to make a list so as not to run to the store on the evening of the 31st.

We have selected several options for delicious snacks, but you don’t have to cook them all. Choose what you like best. In extreme cases, a good cut of meat will always help you out.

Of course, the first thing guests see and what should be on the table for the New Year 2019 is serving and cold appetizers. Don’t skimp on pleasant little things and think over the color scheme of napkins in advance and make sure that the dishes from which you will eat are from one set or at least two, but in no case are they made from different sets that are not similar to each other. As appetizers and table decorations, all kinds of canapés on skewers are welcome, which can be made from almost any product that is suitable as an appetizer. You can also diversify the menu with tartlets in which you can put salad or pate.

We all drink on New Year's holidays, some a little, some a lot. A snack is a must when drinking. These can be the already beloved tartlets with filling or just sliced cucumber, sausage and cheese. Or you can cook something truly mysterious and new. For example, you can prepare shrimp canapés. It's very original and tasty. And for those who like seafood, this will be the best dish on the holiday table. There are many types of shrimp canapés. You can choose according to your taste.
For the first type of shrimp canapes you will need:
- king prawns;
- pitted olives;
- lettuce leaves;
- cucumber.
The shrimp need to be thawed and cooked. Then clean the shrimp by removing the head and shell. Slice the cucumber and tear the lettuce leaves. Next, use your creativity. You can place the ingredients at your discretion. But here's an interesting option if you don't want to get fancy: first pierce the shrimp, then pierce the olive and the other end of the shrimp. Stick in a piece of lettuce; to do this, bend it in several layers and complete the structure with a cucumber.

Canapes with cheese

For the second type you will need:
- shrimps;
- pitted olives;
- lemon;
-cheese.
First, boil the shrimp and peel them. Cut the cheese into cubes, the size should not be smaller than the shrimp, but not very small. Approximately 1*1 centimeter. The lemon also needs to be cut into triangular slices. Follow. Make sure the slice is not too big, otherwise the appetizer will be too sour and it will spoil the whole taste. We put a shrimp in two dreams on a skewer, then a lemon and an olive. The olive should be pricked across the long side. And then we string on a piece of cheese.
There are many such options, you can arrange it so that the snack is sweet and sour, it will be very piquant and unusual. For example, a very interesting combination is cheese and kiwi. Just imagine.

Christmas tree snack

Preparation:

A piece of 600 grams makes two rolls. You need to cut it into two parts, and cut each part almost to the end, leaving one cm. Beat both pieces one by one, covering them with cling film. You need to beat it thoroughly so that the meat is as thin as possible, but neat.
Season the chopped pieces with salt, pepper and sprinkle with meat seasoning on both sides. Cut peppers and cucumbers lengthwise into thin slices, leeks diagonally into thin rings. Place a few slices of pepper, cucumber and 2-3 onion rings on the edge of the chopped meat. Roll both pieces into rolls and tie with twine or thread.
Fry the rolls in a saucepan on all sides, then pour in brine or broth, add soy sauce and simmer covered for 30 minutes over low heat. During this time, the rolls must be turned over several times. Alternatively, the fried rolls can be baked in the oven, topped with broth and soy sauce mixed with the juices obtained from frying. Cover with foil and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
Place the finished rolls on a plate and remove the thread. The liquid remaining after stewing is used to prepare the sauce. To do this, you need to heat it almost to a boil and add starch diluted in a tablespoon of water. Stir, remove from heat and pour into saucepan.
Cut the roll into portions and serve on a common platter, garnished with herbs. The sauce is served in a gravy boat or poured over a sliced roll.

The appetizer is prepared very quickly - only 15 minutes, and the dish turns out to be unusual in appearance and delicate in taste. For cooking you will need the following products:
- pasta in the form of large shells;
- lettuce leaves;
- any cheese, preferably with blue mold;
- Cream;
- walnuts.
You need to start by boiling the shells in very well-salted water, then place them in a colander and pour cold water over them. Place the walnuts on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes. After this, the nuts need to be cut with a knife, but not very finely. For the sauce, whisk the walnut oil, olive oil and wine vinegar. Salt and pepper everything.
The cheese for the filling needs to be crumbled, it is advisable to use a fork for this. Whip the cream into a thick foam, and then mix the cheese and cream. We put the resulting filling into the shells and pour over the sauce.
To make the appetizer look beautiful, you need to place it on lettuce leaves and sprinkle more nuts on top. You need to serve immediately, otherwise the taste will dull a little.
Attention! When choosing cheese, you need to take into account that in the end it should form a homogeneous mass with the cream.

Stuffed pike

If there is stuffed fish on the table, there is definitely a holiday in the house. This dish has occupied a place of honor for a long time, both in holiday and New Year's menus. To cook stuffed pike, the first thing you need to do is clean it and remove the skin. To do this, we make cuts in a circle near the head, without touching the giblets. This way, by simply pulling the head, you will pull out all the giblets without suffering and without spoiling the skin of the pike. Gently remove the skin with your fingers. Near the fins, you can help yourself with a knife, only so as not to damage the integrity of the skin. Separate the fish flesh from the bones and make minced meat from it. Add minced meat (preferably fatty) to it; its volume should be approximately the belly of the stuffed fish. Finely chop 1 large onion and sauté in sunflower oil until golden brown. Also take a large carrot, peel it, grate it on a medium grater and lightly fry it. Mix the minced meat, onion, carrots, loaf and season everything with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the pike as well as the head, having previously removed the gills. Sew the head to the body of the stuffed pike. Grease the fish with sour cream for a beautiful and tasty crust, then bake the pike in the oven at 180 degrees for about 2 hours. Place the finished fish on a dish next to the greens and paint mayonnaise on top when it has cooled completely.

Snacks using salted red fish are very popular now. They are tasty, salty and tender. To prepare our snack you will need:
— lightly salted salmon fillet;
- fresh cucumber;
- cream cheese;
- thin lavash;
- greenery.
You can either buy salmon or cook it yourself. The main thing is that it should turn out lightly salted. Cut it into slices. Depending on the thickness of the slice, you will get a different amount of snack: the thinner, the more.
The cucumber should be cut into thin and long strips. If the skin is hard, it needs to be removed. Whether you can add greens or not is a matter of taste; you can also choose the type of greens yourself.
Let's start with the actual preparation. We spread the pita bread to its full width, grease it with cheese, paying great attention to the edges. Then you need to put pieces of salmon and cucumber in it, and then roll up the pita bread so that nothing spills in. The result is a long tube, which we cut into pieces with a sharp knife (a dull one will simply break the pita bread and flatten the contents).
Greens can also be placed inside the pita bread before adding the fish and cucumber.

Balls with crab sticks resemble snowballs and are perfect as a New Year's snack. To prepare you will need: a glass of boiled rice, two boiled eggs, 150 - 200 grams of crab sticks, mayonnaise, tomatoes and lettuce. Mix rice and grated eggs, add salt and season with mayonnaise. Roll this mixture into balls of equal size. Grate the crab sticks and roll each ball in this shavings. Place lettuce leaves on a plate. Wash the tomatoes and cut into circles. Place tomato slices on green salad. Then place a ball on each tomato. Now the snack is ready.

The salads that will be on the New Year's table this evening should reflect the New Year's mood and it is better if they are decorated accordingly. You can also put any of your favorite salads (and the same Olivier salad) in the shape of a Christmas tree and sprinkle chopped herbs on top, thus delighting yourself and everyone else with the unusual presentation of the usual salad. Well, if you haven’t decided what salad to prepare yet, then read our recipes.

Salad "Citrus and shrimp"

Shrimp go wonderfully with citrus fruits, and in our case there will even be several types. So, we will need:
— boiled-frozen shrimp;
- grapefruit;
- orange;
- tangerine;
- salad;
- Cherry tomatoes;
- bell pepper;
- hard cheese (preferably Parmesan).
Salad takes more time to prepare than the cooking process itself. It will take about 1.5 hours in total.
Shrimp should be defrosted at the time of cooking. Fry them in oil, sprinkled with your favorite spices. We do this for a short time – a few minutes.
Place lettuce leaves on a flat dish. Peel the citrus fruits and divide them into slices, remove the film. The orange pulp should be cut out with a knife, and the remaining juice on the skin should be squeezed into a container. We will still need it.
Place the slices on the salad. After that, cut the tomatoes into slices, and the peppers into small cubes, and place them on top of our citrus fruits. And on top of all this we lay out the prepared shrimp.
Orange juice should be mixed with olive oil, salt and pepper and pour over the salad. And we can decorate and add flavor with the help of grated cheese. Serve immediately after preparation.

Potatoes are found quite often in salads, and fish is often used. Try this tasty and memorable dish. It includes:
— fillet of cod or other white fish;
- garlic;
- potato;
- onion;
- lettuce and other greens.
The fish fillet should be cut into pieces and placed in a flat container. Grind the garlic on a fine grater, mixing with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Pour this sauce over the fish and leave in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Meanwhile, mix olive oil with mustard and a small amount of the marinade used for fish.
We cut the onion into half rings, tear the salad with our hands, and finely chop the other greens. Cut the potatoes into medium-thick slices. All this needs to be mixed and poured with mustard dressing. The cooked fish should be placed on top of the resulting dish.

New Year's salad

We make the salad in the form of a New Year's wreath. To do this, place a glass or jar in the center on a flat dish, around which our wreath will be. We take 2 large pieces: beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs. Boil the food until done. We also prepare 200 grams of smoked chicken, a handful of walnuts and mayonnaise. Let's start assembling the salad, where we grease each layer with mayonnaise. Cut the chicken into cubes and place it on the dish as the first layer. Next, grated potatoes, followed by chicken eggs and beets. Sprinkle nuts on top and decorate the salad as in the photo or as New Year's inspiration tells you.

New Year's salad "Candles"

This salad can be prepared not only for the New Year, but also for other Christmas holidays. Its appearance seems to conduce to coziness and warmth, which is symbolized by candles.

Hard-boil 4 eggs and grate them;

200 gm. Fry the mushrooms with onions, salt and pepper;

250 gm. cut fresh cucumbers into strips;

Fried mushrooms + chicken fillet + cucumber + eggs. After each layer you need to draw a mayonnaise grid. Sprinkle everything with grated cheese on top and decorate as in our photo, where the candles are cut out of peppers and the lights are made of carrots.

Salad with ham and pancakes

What's a New Year's table without salads? There are a lot of posts on the Internet that New Year without Olivier is not New Year. Is it really? Of course, we have a whole tradition of preparing this wonderful and easy-to-prepare salad. But everything gets boring over time. Olivier is no exception. If in your house this salad is no longer considered anything special, then you need to think about it. Maybe cook something newer? For example, salad with ham. This very tender and delicious salad is very easy to prepare. In addition, we can say with confidence that ham in a salad is very tasty and inexpensive, since sometimes you don’t have a lot of money for meat, but you can always replace it with ham or sausage.
To prepare the ham salad you will need:
- 200-300 grams of ham;
- 2 medium onions;
- pancakes that we will prepare ourselves;
- greenery;
- mayonnaise.
For pancakes you need:
- 2 chicken eggs;
- 2 tbsp. starch (corn or potato);
- 2 tbsp. flour;
- spices or herbs;
- vegetable oil.
Let's start preparing the pancakes. To do this, beat the eggs with salt with a whisk, then add starch and flour, add herbs and spices if desired. Set aside the dough for 10-15 minutes, when the flour swells a little, fry the pancakes.
While the pancakes are cooling, cut all the ingredients. Cut the onion into half rings. To make the salad softer, try to cut it as thin as possible. Choose salad onions, they are less bitter. After the onion is chopped, pour boiling water over it, drain the water and squeeze the onion with your hands.
Cut the ham and pancakes into strips, but not too thick. The simplest thing remains. Combine all ingredients, salt, add ground pepper and season with mayonnaise.
Before serving the salad, sprinkle some herbs on top. This salad is also called “Riddle” because guests immediately begin to curiously ask what is in this dish. If you really want to surprise all your guests, then be sure to prepare an exquisite salad with ham for the festive table.

— hard cheese 50-70 grams;
- 1 clove of garlic;
- 1 medium sized tomato;
- dill and green onions;
- mayonnaise;
-salt.
The chicken must be boiled, drained and cut into small cubes. Then you need to grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Now add cheese to the chicken. You need to chop the green onions and dill and add them to the cheese and chicken. There is no need to scald the tomato. On the contrary, try to leave as much moisture on the board as possible, otherwise the salad will be too watery, we don't want extra moisture. Squeeze a clove of garlic there, you can also grate it on a fine grater. Don't forget to salt the salad and season with mayonnaise.
The salad turns out quite light and tasty. It's perfect for the New Year's table.
