Birthday is a favorite since childhood, a long-awaited holiday. Many people prefer to celebrate it in a close family circle. Not so often there is an opportunity to get together, heartily congratulate the birthday girl or the hero of the day, drink, eat.

It is better to discuss and plan the menu of the festive table for your birthday in advance so that you don’t spoil your nerves and don’t throw money away. A twitchy, tired hostess is unlikely to be able to welcome guests cordially, to create a warm, cozy atmosphere of celebration.

How many meals to cook?

The answer to this question depends entirely on the number of guests and the generosity of the feast. First courses (hot and cold) are usually not accepted at banquets. However, at an oriental themed party, an exotic soup with a lot of spices is appropriate. And at the traditional Russian feast - ear with pies in the cold season and ice okroshka in the heat. However, the classic birthday table menu includes salads, hot dishes and dessert.

By the way, if there are no lovers of confectionery delights in the "adult" company, cake and sweets can be safely excluded from the list, focusing on the main dishes. And, on the contrary, arrange a sweet feast: buy fruits, ice cream, various cakes for every taste. The main thing is that everyone likes the treat.

You have to figure out how much to cook. The golden rule of a hospitable hostess “works” here: guests should not sit at an empty table. Therefore, it is better to leave something. If most of the dishes are served in portions, as in a restaurant, the probability of miscalculation is reduced to zero. But during the banquet you will have to run around a lot, acting as a waitress. Therefore, the only convenient solution is to fry and steam with a margin.

Making a holiday menu

Some families have so-called "signature" dishes that are put on the festive table from year to year, for birthdays, photo recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Guests look forward to a duck baked with apples or a golden-brown fish pie. However, most women try to show off their culinary talents, surprise relatives and friends with something new.

Birthday salads and appetizers

As a birthday snack, offer your guests vegetable, cheese and cold cuts. Beautifully arrange thin slices of sausage, ham, brisket, boiled pork on a plate. By the way, a homemade delicacy is much tastier than a purchased one, and even an inexperienced culinary specialist will master a simple recipe in no time.

Baked ham at home

Pour 1.5 liters of water into the pan, salt, add black and allspice (3-4 peas each), a couple of bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then cool to room temperature. Soak the pork neck (1 kg) in brine and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Take out in the morning and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with spices and stuff with garlic: make small cuts on the meat, hide the peeled cloves in them (7-8 pieces).

Wrap the workpiece in foil and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. In 1.5 hours, the pork will be baked. Open it and “tint” for 20 minutes, pouring over the allocated juice.

Spicy Korean carrots, cabbage, eggplants will be a great addition to a birthday snack. Pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, olives, too, will not be superfluous. Rescued,. Without salads (meat, fish and vegetarian), it is difficult to imagine a festive table for a birthday: photo recipes will make your work easier.

"Caprice" with chicken and grapes

Let's start with a delicious chicken salad. Three chicken breasts (fillet) fry in vegetable oil. If you are afraid of overdrying, which is absolutely unacceptable, boil it. Disassemble with your hands into fibers. Take out a large fancy dish. Cover it with arugula. Grate two varieties of hard cheese (250 g each): savory (Gouda, Dutch) and sweet (for example, Maasdam). Lay one of them in an even layer on green leaves.

Table decoration

Matched to the tone of dishes or a white tablecloth, textile napkins are details that create a joyful mood, emphasizing the solemnity of the moment. The luxury of the banquet table will be illuminated by candles. They are placed in low or high candlesticks. And you can do it in wide glasses, half-filled with water for a greater effect.
