Soon there will be a New Year of 2014 - the year of the Horse. For most people this is an exclusively family holiday, so the housewives are already faced with the question: what can be tasty and original to feed the guests, and the symbol of the year while not offending - I mean, the Horse.
The most important points related to the list of possible dishes for New Year celebrations, as well as the special features of the New Year's table layout, we decided to consider in today's publication on our site "Dream House", so that many mistresses find answers to these questions.
What you can cook for the festive table for a year Horses
As you know, a horse is a herbivore, so on New Year's Eve this year it's better to give preference to vegetarian dishes. It can be vegetable salads, light snacks from vegetables, for example, eggplant rolls, stuffed tomatoes and sweet peppers, baked zucchini squash and the like. However, this is no reason to deny yourself to prepare for the New Year's traditional salad olivier.
Hot dishes can be cooked from meat. Very appropriate to the festive table will be baked rabbit or stuffed goose. Do not forget about the beautiful design of these dishes - for this purpose citrus slices, juicy apples, tomatoes, greens will fit. A round or oval dish with a baked bird or rabbit can be decorated with New Year's garlands and fir branches.
Since the traditional food of horses is oats, it is desirable to serve oatmeal cookies baked in the form of a Christmas tree, stars, horses, snowflakes for dessert. In addition, in the New Year's menu can be present and apple pie, because apples are also related to favorite dainties of horses.
From alcohol on New Year's Eve it's better to drink champagne, but other kinds of alcoholic drinks are not particularly addicting - the Chinese Wooden Horse prefers natural juices or mineral water.
Festive table setting for the New 2014
An important point is the table setting itself. Since the patroness of the upcoming 2014 loves everything natural, the table is best covered with a quality linen tablecloth. Napkins are also better to use linen, mostly white.
The table can be beautifully decorated for the year of the Horse with wooden ornaments or handicrafts made using hay or straw. Arrange on the New Year's table small figures of a horse, best of all, if they are made of wood, straw or ropes.
Near each plate you need to put on a candy or a piece of a refined sugar, because the horse is a famous lover of sweet. Then the coming year will be "sweet" for you.
When you celebrate New Year, do not forget about the smile, because a rich and beautifully decorated New Year's table will never replace a good mood!
