And at the same time, it is necessary that all dishes are not only tasty, if possible useful, but also beautiful.

Therefore, we highlight the basic principles and recipes for a good modern menu:
dishes must be tested by experience;
quite simple and not very long to prepare;

be universal (suitable for both adults and children).

So let's make an approximation holiday menu for 15 people.
Let's look at six sections:
snacks,

hot dishes,
side dishes,
the drinks,
desserts.

Let's start with snacks.

cracker,

Cut into small pieces before serving.

I love accuracy in everything, so I always make a birthday menu in advance. Even if the guests are scheduled almost for tomorrow, I will still make time for this. It is better to spend an extra 10 minutes writing a list than to go to the store twice because of something you accidentally missed.

What lists are needed?

I write several lists at once:

a list of dishes and drinks that will be on the table;
list of ingredients and purchases;
a to-do list, that is, a sequence of actions so as not to forget anything.

Example: organizing a husband's birthday at home

I will show you how I organized this process for my husband's birthday.

Initially, we decided that we would celebrate this day together in a restaurant, but later my husband said that he would just like to sit with friends and drink beer ... and this is at home ... tomorrow. Does it happen to you? In 5 minutes, the men decided that the restaurant was canceled, and long live the homemade feast. Shock? Stress? No, absolutely.

We specify the number of guests: together with us, we got 6 adults and 2 children. So the menu I counted on this number of people.

If you have more time, it means more opportunity to plan everything carefully and correctly, but if you don’t have it, as in my case, just stop for a few minutes and think about what the people who come to visit you like. I know that two of the guests do not eat liver, two more seafood, etc., so these dishes on the table are not desirable. It is probably impossible to take into account all tastes and preferences, but what guests do not eat for sure is not worth cooking. And vice versa, if you know for sure that your guests love some of your dishes very much, they always eat it first, be sure to cook it!

I don’t really bother with the compatibility of dishes, I cook what I am sure of. Just because it's a beer party doesn't mean there won't be cake or light snack. Less conventions, unless you have to meet some ambassador.

An example of a birthday menu at home

Previously, my menu did not always fit on one sheet. Three salads, three types of sandwiches, 3-4 appetizers, etc. Naturally, all this remained after the holiday and disappeared. What for? To show what a good hostess I am? This is superfluous, my guests already know it :)

I'm not calling you to minimalism, I'm calling you to be objective. Just think, would you eat so many dishes at a party? If so, you don’t need to invent anything else and add another extra salad.

Because I have little time to prepare, I chose all the recipes simple and not too labor-intensive:

Salads and appetizers

Salad with smoked chicken(satisfying)
Spring salad (light)
Tomato salad with green dressing (instead of appetizer)
Baskets with mushrooms and chicken

hotter

Rustic potatoes
Grilled chicken wings
Khachapuri homemade

Dessert

Strawberry yogurt cake

The drinks

Beer, wine
Juice, compote, tea, coffee

Additionally:

Adjika, mustard, ketchup

Recipes:

Making a shopping list

If I cook according to certain recipes, then I select all the recipes I need on the table: I print them out, take them out of folders, or put notebooks aside.

Why do I need it? So I am sure that having written out all the ingredients, I will not miss anything I need, but I will not buy too much either. Often, relying on our memory, we stand at the store counter and cannot remember how many grams of chicken we need for a salad, or whether there is cheese in this dish at all, so we always take more than we need, being safe.

I making a shopping list based on the ingredients of the recipes I need. After reviewing all the ingredients, I write out only what I don’t have at home, immediately indicating how many grams, kilograms, etc. I need one or the other. My list this time looked like this:

Tip: Take the time to rewrite your list to match the departments of the store you go to. I know exactly the location of my favorite supermarket, so I start with fruits and vegetables, then meat products, cheeses and sausages, etc. Those few extra minutes will save you a lot of time in the store. you will not rush around the entire store, but calmly go around it only once.

And one more important point. If there are products on the list that you need to go to a specialized store or market, take them out separately. With such a detailed list, you can send your husband to the store, and do other things yourself.

I think you noticed that on my list chicken wings and potatoes are highlighted in red. That's because we ordered them to be made at a beer specialty store that has a huge grill. If there is an opportunity to facilitate your preparation, and you are sure of the quality, be sure to use this. Price difference from raw foods not as big as it might seem.

We plan a sequence of actions

Important plan a sequence of actions so that before the arrival of the guests do not run around in an apron and a dressing gown, cutting food.

Everything that can be cut in the store should be cut there. Having a sliced loaf and sliced \u200b\u200bsausage for sandwiches on hand, you spend 5 minutes, not 20.

I said that I am writing a list of actions, while indicating what the husband can do, for example. And don't forget to include things like hair washing and beauty treatments on your list. You don't want to remember this half an hour before the guests arrive.

What can you do the night before

If possible, do some of the preparatory work the night before: cook compote, bake cake layers, boil eggs and vegetables. In the morning, you can start cooking directly, rather than preparing the ingredients and chilling them.

I cooked compote in the evening to cool it down, baked a biscuit, and made croutons for salad in the cooling oven. Also boiled chicken fillet and eggs. In the evening, it is better to clean the house, wash the bathrooms and wipe the dust. Tomorrow you just might not be in time.

If I cooked the wings at home, then I would pickle them in the evening too. I usually marinate the wings in a mixture of vegetable oil, soy sauce, ketchup and honey with garlic.

If possible, then in the evening you can cook the whole cake, it will perfectly stand in the refrigerator until the next evening. If not, then start from this point in the morning.

Morning

In the morning it is necessary to do the remaining preparatory work, namely, cut the eggs and chicken fillet for salad and baskets.

I trained myself to cut the same type of food for several dishes at once, for example, all eggs for all recipes. Naturally, I take into account how many of them are needed for which dish, and I divide them into different salad bowls. It really saves time - you only wash the grater, board and knife after this product, not 3-4.

You can also do with cheese and other products. At this stage, I also cook mushrooms so that I no longer have to be distracted by snacks.

It is important to do it in advance stuffing for baskets , then you just have to lay it out in baskets and bake. cook salad with smoked chicken. Since all the ingredients are already cut, it will take quite a bit of time.

What is important to do during the day

In order to switch, and simply not to miss this moment, you need to set aside all the necessary dishes that you need for serving. I put it on a chest of drawers in my room, checking to see if anything needs extra wiping or rinsing along the way. Of course, it is better to accustom yourself to thoroughly wash and wipe the dishes after each feast, then before the holiday it will take only 5-10 minutes.

Prepare the tablecloth and napkins. Refrigerate drinks if necessary.

Whisk dressing sauce spring salad and tomato salad .

cook spring salad , for which mix 4 diced boiled eggs, sliced radish rings, thinly sliced cucumbers. Separate a third of the green tomato salad dressing, add sour cream and dress the spring salad. Garnish with quail egg halves.

Transfer the adjika to the bowl (if there is no adjika, take care of another sauce for the wings in advance).

What to do in the evening

An hour before the arrival of guests, you can start cooking sandwiches . I will share family recipe. At first glance, the combination is strange, but try them, you will definitely like them. Lubricate the loaf slices with a thin layer of butter, mayonnaise or tartar sauce, lay the sausage slices and top with a slice of kiwi. Garnish with half an olive.

How long did it take for this dish? On the strength of 5-7 minutes, because. only kiwi had to be cut. Such sandwiches look spectacular on the table, kiwi gives sourness and emphasizes the taste of sausage. In this recipe, it is best to use boiled smoked sausage.

If you decide, like me, to make khachapuri, then put the dough on the kneading. We need about 40 minutes to knead and rise. We will do the main work when the guests have already gathered.

While the bread machine is running, spread the filling in baskets . When the guests are already at the table, put the dish in the microwave for a few minutes.

cook tomato salad , it is quite simple, so it is prepared quickly.

It's time to set the table. You can put appetizers and salads, sauce, sandwiches.

It only took me a few minutes to heat up the wings and potatoes. The table is set, the guests are assembled.

If you, like me, decide to treat your guests to khachapuri, then it's time to roll out the dough. They bake pretty quickly. So the guests will not have time to deal with snacks, as you serve them with heat and heat on the table. No fuss, but no one will leave hungry.

I hope that in this birthday menu at home you will find something useful for yourself, making it easier for you to prepare for a holiday or a feast. Put on a beautiful dress, a radiant smile and meet the guests!

If you know how to bake pancakes, you can make them according to your own recipe. And for the rest, I will continue. If you have a blender, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. If not, use a whisk or fork. First mix the eggs, then add milk and all other products except flour, mix well. Then add a little flour, mixing the dough thoroughly so that no lumps form.

Be sure to heat the pan well and grease it with oil.

I think that for the holiday it is better to bake intricate pancakes in the form of snowflakes. This is done quite simply. Pour the bulk of the pancake into the middle of the pan, and, turning it slightly, let the dough spread a little.

Then you scoop some dough into a spoon and draw patterns around. You can collect the test in a small plastic bottle and draw from it. This is somewhat more convenient, but the test is spent more.

When all the pancakes are ready, cover them with a plate or cling film to make them softer.

For now, let's get on with the filling. Cut salmon into small squares. Cheese grate on a fine grater. Finely chop the pickles too. Pepper, add mayonnaise and mix everything.

In the middle of each pancake, put a tablespoon of the filling, form a bag and carefully tie with onion feathers. During this procedure, it is better to involve children or a husband, let them also take part in the preparations for the holiday.

These bags are served cold to the table, but if you are making them on the eve of the holiday, it is better to warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds so that the pancakes are not harsh.

It is better to squeeze the beets through gauze to remove excess moisture. If your carrots are also juicy, then it is better to squeeze it out.

To make a roll, we spread cling film on the table, a cut plastic bag or foil, whoever has what. Mix the beets with mayonnaise and spread evenly on the film. Cover again with clingfilm and tamp the layer well. Remove this top film. You can salt the beets a little. Try to make each subsequent layer slightly narrower in width than the previous one. We do the same with carrots, only now we smear them on beets. The third layer - potatoes with mayonnaise, is smeared on carrots, respectively. Don't forget to salt it. Next, put the onion, if you pickled it, then you need to let it drain so that it is not too wet. And the last layer is herring. It is better to lay it not over the entire surface of the roll, but with a long log in the middle. We tamp all layers in the same way with the help of cling film.

Gently roll the roll around the herring log. We tamp the edges well. We wrap in the same film. We put the snack in the refrigerator, until the arrival of guests. Before serving, remove the film and cut into portioned pieces.
