What animal to cook for the New Year. Dishes for the New Year of the Dog (2018)

On the eve of the New Year, housewives have a lot of reasons for headaches. You need to buy gifts for family and friends. Think over a festive menu. Serve the New Year's table. Choose an outfit. Take care of your hair ... And it is also advisable to do all this in accordance with the tastes of the new mascot - in this case, the Yellow Earth Dog. Well, we'll talk about gifts and outfits another time, but today we'll talk about what to cook for the New Year 2018 of the Dog and how to organize a feast so that the guests are full, the oriental hostess is happy, and you don't get knocked off your feet, slipping between kitchen and living room 5 minutes before the chimes.

What to put on the New Year's table 2018

It is not difficult to please the yellow guest. The simple-minded Dog, inclined to traditional values and simplicity, will not demand from you either venison on skewers, or fried seal sides, or other culinary delights. Most likely, she will not appreciate the less exotic consommé and squid with mushrooms. It is easier to please an earthen dog by putting a piece of meat on the table, but more: a whole leg of lamb, a shank, a weighty piece of beef with prunes and spices ...

Do not like meat, cook poultry, the Dog will appreciate it. But better - a whole carcass, and more appetizing, and more spectacular, and quite in the spirit of tradition.

The four-legged mistress of the year respects fish less, but on occasion she does not mind eating it too. Jellied pike perch, salmon rolls, trout steaks on a pillow of vegetables will go with a bang, if only it all looks attractive and smelled seductive.

Also, be sure to take care of the cold cuts. Moreover, the more components it contains, the better: let your guest's eyes dazzle and salivate at the sight of ham, boiled pork, basturma, jamon, dried chicken breast, smoked and boiled sausages, laid out on a dish with neat fans and decorated with bright greens.

The most educated dog will not resist meat

The dog loves abundance and hates hoarding, so it is advisable to organize a table that breaks under the weight of the dishes put on it. It will be difficult, and expensive, and unhealthy to do this with the help of meat dishes alone, so use a variety of side dishes and salads more boldly. Fortunately, they do not have to buy expensive products for them - an unpretentious Dog will be completely satisfied with mashed potatoes or in a village style, the most traditional Olivier, herring under a fur coat.

Use yellow and orange more widely. Put a snack of chopped vegetables on a flat plate, among which the yellow bell pepper will take the leading place; boldly use carrots as a decoration for hot dishes, put on the table a vase with pickled squash ... A pumpkin garnish or corn salad will be an excellent bright touch.

Finally, take care of the dessert. Here it is worth focusing on the delicacies made from cottage cheese and milk, which will please the Dog, and on a variegated fruit assortment. Two or three types of apples - red-sided, yellow and greenish - will help create a sense of abundance, tangerines will play the role of bright color spots that attract attention, and grapes, bananas and large pomegranates will create a sense of abundance.

The choice of drinks remains entirely at the discretion of the owners. The main thing is that at the table there is something to quench their thirst for adults, children, and convinced teetotalers.

Treats for the Yellow Dog: what exactly is better to cook

Salads. They should be simple, no frills or exotic ingredients. And above all, give preference to dishes with meat ingredients and yellow vegetables. Suitable for you:

merchant salad with pork;
wood grouse nest with beef and quail eggs;
puff salad with ham and mushrooms;
caesar with chicken;
string bag with tongue;
crab salad...

... and just any colorful mishmash of your favorite vegetables, herbs and spices.

The brighter and more varied the salad, the more the Yellow Guest will like it

Hot. If your financial situation and your culinary skills permit, throw the Dog a bone! Baked shoulder or brisket, ribs, chicken legs and drumsticks should be on the New Year's table. Well, if none of the above does not appeal to you, turn your attention to fish dishes. What the Dog will like:

Vepr's gall - breathtakingly juicy and tasty ribs in a Czech honey-mustard marinade;
pork legs in Bavarian style;
brisket roll;
barbecue royally;
chicken stuffed with oranges (Dog's favorite color is orange);
meat in pots;
stuffed fish in a bacon crust;
Japanese gyoza dumplings with duck and ginger (a big plus - they can be prepared in advance);
original served hot dogs - "hot dogs".

Shish kebab is good both in nature and at the festive table

Snacks. Here again, meat comes out on top. But if the beloved delicacy of the yellow guest is not in your family's honor, use mushrooms, eggs, cheese and similar mouth-watering products. Pay attention to:

pita rolls stuffed with feta cheese and greens;
Italian-style tomatoes with garlic, mayonnaise and cheese;
canapes made from bread, ham, purple onions, olives, cheese and whatever you wish;
mushrooms stuffed with chicken and cheese;
aspic from the tongue and jellied meat;
eggplant rolls with nuts;
tartlets with any filling;
halves of baked potatoes stuffed with salmon and cottage cheese.

There are countless options for fillings for festive rolls

Side dishes. Enough has been said about them today, so let's just list the most, in our opinion, suitable dishes for meeting the Yellow Dog:

carrots in a spicy marinade with orange, lemon and coriander - ideal for meat;
fried zucchini with cherry tomatoes;
cauliflower in batter;
Idaho potatoes - an original variation on the theme of French fries;
garnish of pumpkin baked with garlic, cheese and nutmeg.

Yellow, crispy, healthy - just what you need!

Beverages. It seems that there is no point in recommending you buy champagne for the New Year's table, this or that wine or something stronger: you will perfectly figure it out yourself, focusing on the tastes of the company you are planning to gather at your place that night. But if you want to surprise your guests with dog-themed cocktails, mix for them:

Salty Dog;
"Red Dog";
"Black Dog";
"Stray Dog";
"Dog six".

Well, for those who do not accept alcohol, prepare mineral water, juices, fruit drinks and soda.

Make sure that everyone has a drink to their liking

Desserts. What would be so original to surprise both eaters and the Dog? May be…

German Pie Cold Dog with cookies, coconut butter and cocoa;
sour cream with yellow bananas;
curd soufflé with chocolate chips;
milk jelly with fruit;
peach parfait;
homemade ice cream;
with candied orange and lemon peels?

Abundance on the New Year's table will attract wealth to the house

But form the fruit table as you wish. The main thing is that it is varied, cheerful and full of bright yellow-orange spots of tangerines - the most New Year's fruits.

Three important prohibitions

We, of course, do not live in Korea, so the danger cannot be calculated and we are not in danger of accidentally serving a dish made from the main symbol of the year to our guests. However, astrologers warn: the shaggy talisman will react negatively to all kinds of salads and buns in the form of dog faces. After all, you are going, no less, cut into portions and be able to portray the new mistress of the year! If you really want to fantasize with the shape of the dishes, give them the appearance of a bone, so adored by the Dog, or a booth. Both fun and safe.

In addition, you cannot cook horse meat for the New Year 2018 of the Dog. For some reason, a peaceful pet hates the Horse, so it is better not to organize a meeting for them at the New Year's table. No horse sausage or other exotic horse delicacies!

Since vegetarians have not yet been seen among Dogs, it is safe to say that the completely lean menu will not be to the beast's liking. If you don’t eat meat in principle, put at least a couple of sliced dishes on the table for your meat-eating friends who will surely be in your company. So the principles will not suffer, and the furry patroness will be satisfied.

The recipes are delicious and interesting

Now comes the fun part. We choose what will treat guests on New Year's Eve. Moreover, both real and "virtual", with four paws and covered with yellow wool.

How to treat a dear guest like that?

A little about serving

In the Year of the Dog, everything should be simple, casual and fun. This is not the time for crunchy starched tablecloths and perfectly rolled envelopes and napkins! Go for a rustic New Year's table 2018 - with dishes in pots, linen napkins, wicker bowls for sweets and breads, ceramic dishes and dried flower bouquets. It will be interesting to look at a patchwork path thrown across the table, pieces of rough linen under the plates, hand-made crafts.

If you prefer something a little more sophisticated, show your respect to the Dog by keeping the table setting in yellow, gold and warm browns. Dishes with gold rims, a glittering tablecloth, dark napkins with contrasting yellow or golden thread embroidery will add chic to your feast just in moderation, so as not to scare off the shaggy guest with excessive pretentiousness.

Do not forget about the figurines that remind you of the symbol of the New Year. Figurines, soft toys, postcards with the image of the Dog - all this should be enough.

The only thing that really matters in the Year of the Dog is company and fun. It is not so important what color the tablecloth will be on your table, as who will sit at it. Surround yourself with loved ones and friends, prepare records with rhythmic music for dancing, think over entertainment that will be interesting for everyone. You can meet the four-legged patroness both in the palace and in the forest by the fire, if only it is fun, with sincere smiles and joyful laughter. Then she will definitely not pass by your friendly company.

New Year's holidays are a special time loved by all people. During this period, a magical unique atmosphere of warmth and family comfort is created. There are only a few days left before the festive celebration, so you need not only to start decorating your home, but also to think about what to cook for the New Year 2018. After all, a festive celebration without a beautifully laid table and delicious aromatic dishes is simply impossible.

The coming year will be held under the auspices of the Yellow Earth Dog. In this article, we will tell you what dishes to cook for the new year 2018 and how to properly set the table in order to win the favor and support of this loyal and friendly animal.

New Year's table setting basics

The main festive attribute after the tree is undoubtedly the New Year's table. Its design should not only be beautiful, but also have maximum convenience.

Tablecloth and decor elements

It is best to choose a plain canvas made of dense natural material. Woolen or linen fabrics are perfect.

The dog will love the following colors:

Brick;
Chocolate;
Beige;
Yellow;
Khaki;
Sand;
Shades of brown;
Calm green tones.

It is also better to choose cloth napkins. It is recommended to decorate them with ribbons, rings made of metal or wood.

Candles will help create special comfort and magic. They can be placed next to each guest or combined in the center of the table, creating a "hearth". You can also use garlands and Christmas tree decorations in the decoration. This will create an incredible magical atmosphere that young children will especially enjoy.

Figures of dogs and bones placed around the perimeter of the tabletop will occupy an ideal place in the decor.

Dishes

Usually, for the holidays, it is customary to use beautiful and rich dishes. A dog is an unpretentious beast, so kitchen utensils should be simple and no frills. It is necessary to give priority to such materials as:

Semi-porcelain;
Wood;
Thick colored glass;
Porcelain;
Clay;
Metal.

Colors should not be too dark or bright, but should create a warm and eye-pleasing effect.

It is unacceptable to use plastic or disposable tableware, items with damage, chips, cracks or an unclear pattern. A great option would be to place plates and glasses with images of dog faces or footprints on the table.

Festive food

Many housewives are already beginning to think over the menu and decide what to cook for the New Year of the dog. The "mistress" of the coming year is very fond of food, so the variety of dishes will be a big plus. Main products:

Vegetables;
Fruits;
