Original snacks
If you have asked yourself the question: how to set a festive table so that it is both beautiful and inexpensive and you think that combining the incompatible is simply impossible, we will answer: a tasty and beautiful table does not have to be expensive, you can meet the minimum budget by presenting maximum culinary skills and a wide range of dishes. It all depends only on your creativity and enthusiasm.
So, the most versatile and popular dish on the New Year's table are snacks. Their list is wide, from original salads to light canapé sandwiches. Let's look at the most acceptable options.
Sausage in dough
This simple, but very tasty dish gives us the answer to the originally posed question: how to inexpensively set a festive table. In addition, this dish prepares very quickly.
To prepare we will need:
- A kilogram of sausages;
- Thin pita bread;
- Green;
- Peas;
- Cheese (can be processed).
Boil the sausages (you can fry them as you prefer) and put them aside for now, we will need them a little later.
Now take thin pita bread and cut one sheet into 6 equal parts. Make sure that the pita bread does not tear, it is very fragile, this is its only drawback.
Some people think that wrapping the sausage in pita bread will be enough, but it won't be as tasty as it could be. Now, with utmost attention, let’s reveal the secret of this snack.
Wrap the sausage in pita bread, add a teaspoon of peas, chopped herbs and a slice of cheese, and place the wrapped envelope on a hot frying pan. Fry the pita bread in vegetable oil until crispy. Now you know what to cook inexpensively for an idle table. But let's move on.
Mushroom salad “Assorted”
An inexpensive menu for a holiday table can be decorated with Assorted mushroom salad. Ingredients:
- Can of canned red beans;
- Mushrooms;
- 2 eggs;
- Sour cream (100 g) and mayonnaise (20 g);
- Salt, garlic, spices to your taste.
Fry mushrooms with onions and carrots.
HELP: Mushrooms will be much tastier if you add a little butter when frying.
Then boil the eggs and mix all the ingredients. Sprinkle herbs on top as a decorative garnish for the dish.

Herring under a fur coat
So, our task is to set the festive table cheaply and tasty. Then you simply cannot cross off such a simple and at the same time colorful dish as herring under a fur coat from the list. It is done simply.
We will need the following ingredients: 10 medium-sized potatoes; herring; bulb; carrot; beet; 3 eggs; mayonnaise and sour cream, as well as salt.
Boil vegetables and eggs, grate (grind in a blender). We clean the herring from bones. Now we lay out our dish in layers: a layer of chopped herring, a layer of potatoes, carrots, beets. The top layer is egg, sprinkled with herbs. Colorful, beautiful, tasty and healthy.
Hot dishes and meat sauce
Any inexpensive holiday table will look ordinary and dull without hot dishes. There is also a wide range of products available here, from which every housewife will choose something of her own.
To treat your guests to a tasty and inexpensive dish, you can serve meat sauce. It is made simply: boil any meat, beef or chicken.
REFERENCE: A very original taste is obtained by mixing chicken meat, gizzards and liver. When the meat is ready, throw in the potatoes.
IMPORTANT: There should be more potatoes than for a simple soup. Based on a three-liter pan, this is approximately a full bowl of peeled vegetables.
When the potatoes are almost ready, add a can of canned beans and fried onions and carrots. Let the sauce simmer for two minutes and turn off. Serve hot.
Fried potato pancakes and wings
A cheap holiday table looks more colorful if you serve potato pancakes. This is a Belarusian national dish, the second name is “potato pancakes”. It has gained great popularity among admirers of original hot dishes due to its unique taste and the warm, cozy atmosphere that is created in the house by the aroma of hot potato pancakes.
They are made simply: grate or chop a bowl of potatoes in a blender. A glass of yogurt or kefir is poured into the resulting mixture, the soda is quenched in vinegar (1/5 teaspoon of soda), a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp are added. spoons of sugar, add flour.
IMPORTANT: It is impossible to say exactly how much flour is needed for pancakes. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream and be neither thicker nor thinner. Only such dough will fry well.
HELP: To make potato pancakes softer, you should mix yogurt with kefir. In addition, a large part of the success lies in the strength of the stirring. Stir the dough until air bubbles form. This is the main indicator that the dough will be soft and the dish will be impeccably tasty.
Even a cheap holiday table should include meat dishes. If you don’t indulge in gourmet excesses, but give preference to chicken, then the table will indeed be quite economical.
We buy a pack of chicken wings at the supermarket and place them on a hot frying pan. Fry under a covered lid in vegetable oil over low heat for 10 minutes, then turn over, add a little water and salt. The important point here is to add a small amount of ketchup and mayonnaise, they will make the wings softer and more flavorful.
A drop of ketchup and mayonnaise on each wing is enough. Simmer under closed lid until done. Serve hot. If desired, you can sprinkle with herbs and grated cheese.
For dessert - fruit salad and anniversary cookie cake
What to prepare for the holiday table inexpensively and tasty from the category of desserts? Here too we have a choice.
Fruit salads look bright and colorful. They will appeal equally to both adults and children.
For the salad we need:
- 5 bananas;
- Raisin;
- Peanut;
- 4 apples;
- Cream or thick yogurt.
We cut the fruits and season with cream (yogurt). You can sprinkle coconut flakes on top for decoration or garnish with berries.
For many, a holiday is unthinkable without sweets. But, if buying a cake in a store is too expensive, and for some reason it is not possible to cook at home, then you can give preference to a cake made from cookies, which, if you do not know its composition, cannot be distinguished from the real thing, purchased.
We prepare the following list of products:
- A kilogram of anniversary cookies. It is the cheapest in stores, costs about 70-80 rubles. per kg.
- Half a kilo of curd product or curd mass;
- Sugar;
- Condensed milk (not necessarily whole condensed milk, a simple condensed product is also quite suitable);
- Milk.
Pour warm milk over the cookies and leave to soak for 30 minutes. Then, carefully, so as not to break the cookies, place them in a layer on a flat plate. Then add a layer of curd product mixed with condensed milk. Next, we lay out as many layers as you need and decorate the top of our cake in any known way: coconut flakes, grated chocolate, chocolate icing, berries, peanuts.
IMPORTANT: And now the main point of preparing the cake is to put the cake in the refrigerator for three hours (put it on the highest shelf). When it freezes, it will be very tasty.
So we told you how to set a delicious holiday table. Happy holidays to you and may every day be a small celebration of love, hope, faith and joy!
Holding a holiday at home is not only joyful, it is also troublesome, and therefore many people prefer to organize a holiday in a restaurant or cafe. Now everything is possible, you can just rent a hall and bring all your prepared equipment, or you can just come visit for your own or family holiday, where everything is inclusive. Of course, this will have an impact on your pocket, but if you take into account the pre-holiday organization of this event in the house, and it is even more painful to think about cleaning the house after the guests leave, there is something to think about. But if you still decide to spend the holiday at home, then the tips and recipes below are for you!
The nature of the reception depends on how and what to serve. If this is a party with the participation of close friends, then you can set the table both before the guests arrive, and all together. At the same time, guests can bring some alcohol with them to a friendly party (having previously agreed with the owner who will bring what). At a friendly party, you can invite people to the table without waiting too long for latecomers (15-20 minutes). If just acquaintances, work colleagues, etc. are invited to visit, then the table should be set before the first guest arrives.
If you have invited guests for a “cup of coffee”, then you can start treating them immediately after the agreed time. Latecomers join as they arrive. At such a party, it is customary to serve sandwiches, dry wine, and vermouth. For dessert, they serve cake, pastries, etc. You can also put fruit on the table. For dessert, you can serve tea with jam, poured into separate small cups. It is customary to serve coffee with liqueur, cognac, rum, and brandy.
Both tea and coffee are served already prepared and poured into cups. In a small company, the party organizer is obliged to inquire about the tastes of each guest and prepare coffee (tea) according to his taste. It would be good to serve tea with lemon, already cut into thin rings, on a separate plate.
The cutlery at such a party includes dessert plates, forks and spoons. Sweets are served in separate spoons. The table can be covered with either a large tablecloth or several separate napkins. Guests at a friendly meeting can be seated on the floor by making a low table (this is especially common at youth gatherings).
At an evening with a large number of guests, dinner should begin with hot dishes (first and second). Usually hot food is served 30-40 minutes after the first guests arrive. During this time, as a rule, all the guests have already gathered, talked a little and are completely hungry.
When serving hot dishes, approach each of the guests from the left side. If there are a large number of people at the table, it is permissible to pass the dish to each other one by one. If the table is large enough, then the same dish should be placed at opposite ends of the table.
Stewed meat or poultry can serve as a hot dish. Hot potatoes must be present on the table (they neutralize the effects of vodka on the body well). Salads, ham, meat, herring, jellied fish, and meatloaf are served with hot dishes. In addition, you can serve hot mushrooms and spaghetti. Before serving hot food, you can offer guests an aperitif, as well as a light snack.
Chilled vodka (never cognac) is served with appetizers. You can also serve dry vermouth or dry white wine. White semi-dry wine is served with fish, poultry, and veal; for duck and goose - dry red wine; for lamb, beef, pork and game - dry red wine or beer; for dessert - red or white semi-sweet or sweet wine; Balsam, rum, cognac, brandy, and liqueurs are served with coffee or tea.
White wines should be served chilled; semi-dry and dry red wines should be at room temperature; sweet and semi-sweet red wines – slightly chilled; vermouth and beer are served cold, and liqueurs and cognacs are served at room temperature.
For white wine, use large glasses with a long stem; for red wine - wide glasses with a short stem. Wine is poured into three quarters of a glass. For cognacs, wide, squat glasses are used, which are filled to a third or a quarter; For vodka and liqueurs, small glasses are used, filling them almost to the brim. When filling glasses or glasses with alcohol, you should remember that it is rude to pour “through your hand.”
After hot dishes, tea, coffee and dessert are served. Dessert can be hot (for example, charlotte) and cold (cake, fruit pie, etc.). Before serving dessert, everything that touched the “hot” part of the dinner is removed from the table.
The host or hostess should not be the first to finish his dish. Wait until the guests do this. It is indecent to serve the next dish on the table while one of the guests has not yet finished the previous one. Guests, in turn, should not force those who have already finished their meal to wait too long.
Soups are served in deep soup bowls.
Ham, ham, boiled pork, and sausages are served sliced. If you decide to serve game to your guests, then you need to cook it in such a way that the meat separates from the bones as easily and freely as possible.
When serving fish to the table, each guest should be given a small plate - especially for the bones.
Salads are served in a large dish with a common spoon, with which the salad is placed on plates.
Along with the crayfish dish, each guest is served a small bowl of clean water for rinsing their fingers.
Red and black caviar are served in special vases or a dish with ready-made sandwiches is immediately placed on the table.
Next to the salt shaker there should be a special spatula, with which you should take the salt (if there is no such spatula, you can use a knife, taking the salt on its tip).
Fruit is served in a fruit bowl. Grapes - in clusters, cherries and cherries - with stems. Watermelon and melon are cut into slices before serving.
Beer is served chilled, poured into beer mugs or glasses. A special cardboard or wooden stand is placed under the glass.
Note: A palette of delicious colors for salads
By mixing different “paints” you can get many different colors and shades. Of course, the range of possible culinary “colors” is much wider than those indicated here - include all the amazing richness of your unbridled creative imagination.
