In the buffet setting, meat, fish, vegetable dishes are arranged in groups. Food is prepared in such a way that it can be easily taken with a fork and eaten without using a knife. And these are all kinds of canapes, tartlets, cuts.

Decoration and proper serving of dishes

In decorating the table, a measure should be observed so as not to interfere with the arrangement of dishes prepared appetizingly and decorated with taste. But even the usual cutting turns into table decoration for the New Year. And there are a few rules that will help give the dishes originality.

Products are cut very thinly with a slicer or a sharp knife.
When choosing combinations of products, they are guided by the tastes of the owners. But you should not combine too juicy and dried ingredients, so as not to let the juice change the taste.

Compliance with the color compatibility of the cutting components will allow you to create a beautiful compositional layout.

There are plenty of options for laying out chopped products. Here is some of them:

• a fruit plate is obtained from orange rounds with peel, peeled tangerines, laid in rows along the edges of the dish, the middle is given to “flowers” ​​from kiwi. The dish is filled in a circle from edge to center, alternating an ingredient of one tonality with one that has a different shade;
• taking a rectangular dish in the shape of a “turtle”, they lay out the taken products in rows on it, while one product occupies its own row. For decor, take lemon slices, cranberries, sprigs of fresh dill;
• both stuffed cheese and ham, sausages make wonderful rolls fastened with a skewer - they take food for it.

You can surprise guests by building a Christmas tree arrangement, where coniferous branches depict sliced ​​cheese, cucumber, sausage. Delicious "needles" are strung on a skewer attached to the center of the dish. Fruit "paws" of spruce are obtained from lemon, grapefruit, kiwi. Moss under such “herringbones” depicts cut vegetables and fruits, berries and pomegranate seeds of contrasting color.

Salads, more salads

In decorating salads, well-known options are used. A Christmas tree, a hedgehog, a dog, a New Year's clock are created from suitable products.

If there is no time, then the following tricks will help out:

• Cut the red bell pepper into even 2 parts and remove the seeds. On the prepared salad, each half is placed skin-side out, resulting in “bells”. "Tongues" are made from green onion feathers, the top of the lettuce ellipse is decorated with dill sprigs.
• "Clock" with arrows are made on flat surface lettuce. On its circumference, it is enough to draw the numbers 3, 6, 9, 12, the rest are indicated by olives. For arrows, ingredients that are “at hand” are selected.
• Many salads are served mixed and uneven. To decorate them, use the yolk of a boiled egg, chopped on a grater, pomegranate granules, cranberries. The salad surface is simply generously sprinkled with one of these components.

But the most accessible as a decoration for a salad are slices of products from which a salad dish is made, and greens. It is easy to make a rose from a sausage (tomato) and add a leaf of green salad. So you can decorate a separate piece of salad cake.

What's hot

As for hot dishes, you should think about the decor even before it is cooked. Especially if the food is done as a mixture, such as pilaf, roast. For a traditional oven-baked goose, papillottes on paws and apples, pears, lemons for wrapping poultry, sprigs of fresh herbs are suitable. Do not forget about figuredly chopped carrots, beets, cucumbers, fruits.

If the side dish is served separately, it is worth preparing a multi-colored mashed potato and building a slide out of it. Dyes for this will serve as natural vegetable juices. Do the same with pasta, which is better to make yourself.

Whipped cream and sour cream do a good job of decorating dishes. A "cap" of these salted products will add zest to the dish or take the place of the sauce.

Fresh fruits on a large dish (several tiers can be used), natural juice poured into sparkling transparent decanters - these products will bring New Year's serving childhood memories. And an integral part of the New Year - tangerines are good both on a separate dish and as a basis for a fruit platter.

The abundance and variety of delicious dishes and drinks is an indispensable condition for creating Have a good mood guests. Cooked meat variations and meat components in salads, sandwiches, cuts will be the priority on the table. Vegetables, fruits and small snacks will complete the picture of the celebration.

Dishes are served in the correct order. Access to them celebrating the New Year should be unlimited. Objects and food are arranged taking into account the needs of all those sitting at the table.

A multi-storey tiered dish will help out in case of a convenient and solemn arrangement of sweets and fruits. It will also save space on the table.

Snacks "for one tooth" are best served with skewers decorated with images of the symbol of the year.

Attach a name plate to each napkin so that it will be easier for guests to sit down at the table. The tablets on each plate (next to it) with images of an animal, the ruler of the coming year, are also appropriate.

It does not hurt to give each guest a present in the form of a miniature animal made of wood, fabric, clay. A gift wrapped in golden packaging can also be placed next to each guest's personal plate.

Decorate this plate tissue paper with the image of Santa Claus, which will remind your friends that the New Year is the time for miracles and gifts.

Tablecloth

The traditional white tablecloth will never go out of style. Ironed and starched, it always looks impressive, making any table elegant. Although today you can also find specially crumpled tablecloths that bring notes of negligence into the interior, thereby diluting the pathos of the New Year's Eve and relieving tension.

Our opinion:

Dazzlingly good tables, decorated with shiny tablecloths. If your choice fell on models with large and bright sequins, then pick up the dishes in neutral shades, even white plates and crystal glasses will do. If the tablecloth does not take much attention, then plates with elements that shade or complement it in color will look good on it.

Creativity

When decorating the table, do not forget about the traditional symbols of the New Year: snowmen, gray-haired grandfathers, deer, snowflakes and stars. Put a few figures on the table, cut out a couple of snowflakes and hang them from the ceiling above the table, put a spruce “path” of small twigs in the middle of the table. Fantasize!

Got time? Bake gingerbread houses or decorate some dishes in the form of any figures, as, for example, during the Soviet Union sculpted snowmen from cottage cheese or decorated salads in the form of hedgehogs.

Our opinion:

Fire symbolizes warmth and comfort, so candles will not be superfluous on the New Year's table. The main thing is to choose the right candlestick to avoid a fire hazard. Alternatively, place small candles in glasses or clear glasses. Candles can make your table especially solemn and homely.

Western economy and frugality in food disgusts the Russian mentality, especially on New Year's Eve. Festive table should be bursting with food. A bowl of salad roams between jokes and toasts, but appetizers are still prepared in solid volumes. This has been the custom for a long time and it is not worth changing traditions for the arrival of the White Metal Bull. But try to serve everything elegantly, for example, beautifully decorate the dishes, or even better - choose a certain style for the feast and follow its rules.

How to decorate the New Year's table in general: color, accessories, preferences from the Ox

So, we are waiting for the visit of the Bull. He will not be at the table, but the invisible presence is already felt, prompting to make plans for the near and distant future. And so that everything goes smoothly, preferably with an eye on the preferences and nature of the virtual hostess. Although I don’t believe in fairy tales, no one has canceled the ubiquitous “maybe”.

Outfits have already been chosen, gifts have been bought, definitely. The pre-holiday fuss is growing like a snowball, striving to capture all free time. Relax, meditate, and at the same time think over the serving, because the menu will be plentiful, the fun will be stormy, the surroundings will be spectacular - this is how it should be in the year of the Ox.

There are many options for decorating the New Year's table. For tablecloths, napkins, decor, Christmas and winter colors are suitable:

• red;
• white;
• green;
• blue;
• silver;
• gold.

Pastel versions are being considered - pink, ecru, light green, pale blue. All shades of yellow and brown are relevant. After all, it is in this outfit that the hostess and the queen of the ball will come to celebrate the New Year 2021.

Traditional decor:

• candles, from miniature to massive;
• Christmas balls, beads, tinsel;
• coniferous branches and wreaths;
• figurines of deer, snowmen, New Year characters.

How to combine all this into a common composition depends on the chosen style, and it must be sustained. Table setting on the principle - all the best is immediately excluded. The bull, though artiodactyl, but in the soul is a delicate little thing with good taste and a sense of proportion.

It is logical to assume that she likes the countryside, nature, gentle or brutal simplicity. This is true, but cheerful country, rough rustic, dreamy eco, shy shabby chic should appeal to you too. If there is no harmony, joy goes away.

New Year's table in different styles

Prefer asceticism, gloss, originality - act. Do not break yourself for the sake of any stereotypes. Yes, and there are none at all - the Ox will be happy with any treat. Therefore, you can choose any option for serving the New Year's table, even an intricate rustic, even a modest Japanese one. A few diverse examples will help to find the right direction.

Country

Bright and positive, with its decoration it repeats the favorite colors of Christmas - white, red, green. The red and white range dominates - tablecloths and napkins, drawings on cutlery, packaging of small surprises or Greeting Cards for guests.

Decorations - cones, fir branches, inflorescences of winter berries, candy sticks. They are placed in small groups near each plate, in the center, as a separate composition on a wooden board or a coarse knitted napkin. Candles - simple white, large enough.

The second option is soft at home. A snow-white or calm checkered tablecloth, warm linen napkins set off the coolness of white plates and glass without gilding. Carved figures of deer hid near ceramic dishes, wooden boards with snacks. And yet - it's country! A green branch twists between the dishes, white candles are in the candlesticks, brushes of mountain ash are scattered.

Boho chic

If you want to decorate the New Year's feast brightly, spectacularly, unusually - boho-chic style is for you. Elements hand made at the heart of give wide scope for imagination and self-expression. In serving are actively used crochet and in the technique of macrame napkins, paths, tablecloths.

Dishes from different sets are welcome, subject to brightness and non-standard shapes. Well, if you have preserved glasses from the last century, on a leg or ordinary ones. Tall elegant wine glasses can easily coexist with mundane brutal ones.

Decor - lively and self made flowers, compositions of spruce branches and dried flowers, original cases for cutlery. The finishing touch on the ceiling is a spectacular chandelier or low-hanging dream catchers. Any color scheme, combinations of living wood and textiles are relevant.

Minimalism and Scandi

Simple, extraordinary, concise - minimalism in decorating the New Year's table should be a continuation of the style of the apartment. Otherwise, the serving will look poor and hasty, as if covered for a quick snack. The black and white gamma is relevant, a little silver or gray linen, candles from miniature to giant, green branches. Decor may be missing altogether.

Scandinavian style is a little more loyal and homely. Combinations of white with pink, red, blue, gilding, natural wood and ceramics are welcome. The table can be decorated with carvings, the chairs can be covered with fluffy fur capes.

Shabby chic

Summer style for winter serving - fresh, joyful, unusual. Bring out retro crockery - crystal salad bowls and glasses, fruit bowls on graceful legs, plates with gold borders and flowers.

Expose all the beauty on a simple wooden or aged board surface. A tablecloth is also suitable - a thin veil, with a printed or embroidered small pattern. Decorating is quite simple - lace, flowers, Christmas balls, candlesticks in the form of lanterns.

rustic

Lots of raw wood, brutal simplicity, natural coarse fabrics- burlap, unbleached linen, embroidery in the folk print technique. Large glasses, simple cutlery, glasses and small metal accessories, candles in jars - imitation of the life of woodcutters or forest hermits gives a special romantic touch to a magical night.

Eco style

Ecological style is similar to Scandinavian. Combinations of white with grassy green, wood, live plants and dried flowers are welcome. Tablecloth - made of natural materials, linen runners, napkins, wooden or straw coasters for plates. Nuts, tangerines, dried fruits, gingerbread - for decoration, simple twine for dressing.

glamorous

A lot of gilding, refinement of forms, transparent glass on the thinnest legs, personalized places, an elegant surprise or beautifully packaged cutlery on the plate of each guest. Christmas balls in a vase, tinsel, sparkles, intricate candlesticks, sparkling deer figurines, carved snowflakes - decor with a claim to splendor is a must.

On a white, silver, gold background, colored glass looks great. Natural natural tones are combined with ceramics, delicate shades and flowered plates create a special homely atmosphere.

Stick to the general direction of the chosen style, pay attention to details, improvise, relying on your abilities. New Year's table setting can match the design of the room as a whole or be duplicated with a similar accent.

For example:

• country - an elegant cheerful Christmas tree;
• boho-chic - garlands of pom-poms on the walls;
• shabby chic - floral curtains;
• minimalism - gifts in craft or white paper.
