If you salt the salad in advance, then the vegetables will release a lot of juice, and this will affect the taste of the salad. Therefore, it is better to salt just before serving;
Salads and vinaigrettes should also be seasoned immediately before serving;
Try to remember which of your guests and what exactly they like for a snack. It will not be difficult for you to correct the planned serving plan, and they will be pleased;
It is better to undersalt and undersalt cold appetizers, salads, and it is better not to experiment with spices - the guest may not like it. It would be correct to simply put a salt and pepper shaker, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish and a dish with various herbs on the table;
Salad potatoes are best cooked without peeling and peeled after cooking. When cooking, unpeeled potatoes lose 20% of vitamin C, and peeled - 40%;

Julien in our country is already a well-known and beloved hot appetizer. But the fact is that we call it quite wrong. The dish comes from France.

Again, what is good for the holiday - you can make preparations in advance, and just put them in the oven with guests.Roll with smoked fish

Then they evenly rise, become golden. And inside, a void is formed, which can be filled with fillings, sweet or not. They are very convenient to prepare for the holiday. Bake the day before, store on a board, covered with a towel, and fill with the contents the next day.

chief editor of the site "M.Vkus"
Here comes the New Year 2018! With what the editors of the portal "M.Vkus" cordially congratulate you, our dear readers. We believe that you have already moved away from the meeting of the New Year, slept well and are making plans for a long vacation. In fact, there is not so much time left - only a week, so we suggest not to waste time in vain and plan everything carefully. For example, numerous visits of guests - girlfriends with children, husband's friends, mother-in-law, relatives ... So that such a pastime is not a burden for you, but only brings pleasure and joy, why not turn it into an exciting entertainment? To make it easier for you, we have come up with 9 themed culinary house party ideas for your inspiration!
1. Adults + Middle School Children: Fondue Party
This variant of a themed culinary party is perfect when you are waiting for your friends with their schoolchildren to visit during the holidays, and you are too lazy to bother with food. Ask guests to buy fresh fruits along the way - bananas, apples, pears, tangerines and others. Get a supply of milk chocolate, a bag of marshmallows and long wooden skewers from the cabinet. Lubricate the fondue bowl with butter, break the tiles into pieces into it and place it over the fire. In 15-20 minutes you will have a whole bowl of melted hot chocolate. It is enough to cut fruit into pieces, put on wooden skewers along with marshmallows and dip in chocolate. Both children and adults will be happy with such a delicious dessert while watching good cartoons or family comedies.
2. Adult couples: wine tasting with light snacks
If friends are coming to visit and you plan to sit and chat about the latest news in each other's lives, why not have a wine tasting meeting? Ask each guest or couple to bring one or two bottles of their favorite wine with them. Organize light snacks yourself - garnished with grapes and walnuts, canapes, small sandwiches, Italian biscotti cookies, salted crackers. Prepare more glasses so that the wine from each new bottle is poured into a fresh one. By the way, you can arrange a blind tasting. Just wrap the bottles in parchment and write the number on top. At the end of the evening, let each of the guests name the number of the wine that he liked the most.
3. Friends of the husband: a buffet table with hearty finger foods
It does not matter for what purpose your husband decided to invite his friends over the holidays - to watch a sports match or a car race, play a role-playing computer game on a console, or discuss creating a new business project. Boys always remain boys, and nothing pleases them more than a set buffet table with hearty high-calorie snacks and cold beer. It’s not worth trying especially to impress your husband’s friends with your culinary talents: it’s unlikely that they, carried away by a match, a game or a discussion of a project, will appreciate your complex dishes that you pored over for a couple of hours at the stove. Keep it simple - a couple of large salad bowls filled to the brim with potato and corn chips, a couple of bowls with spicy tomato and cheese sauces, a bowl of popcorn, cold cuts, a couple of plates with simple and understandable sandwiches. With complex decorations, too, you should not bother too much, as well as with a large number of plates and appliances. Men are more likely to eat with their hands, grabbing snacks they like from the table. So if you don’t want to return home to find the entire living room in greasy fingerprints, make sure that there are enough dry and wet wipes around the table.
4. BFFs: Beauty bachelorette party with smoothies and diet snacks
After you have put the apartment in order after the visit of your husband's friends, it is time to send him for half a day to his mother (along with the children, of course), and you devote time to your beloved. Invite your best friends over and have a beauty bachelorette party. Face masks, eye patches, Sex and the City or Desperate Housewives as a backdrop. Food for such a themed party is not the most important thing. After New Year's Eve, most women are trying to restore their waists to their former harmony, so berry smoothies and smoothie bowls, light greens and fruit salads are the perfect food accompaniment.
5. Mother-in-Law's Visit: Nautical-Themed Dinner Party
During the New Year holidays, many will have to go through a rather serious test - the visit of relatives to visit. Often such an event unsettles for a long time and spoils the mood, especially if the mother-in-law arrives. You will probably be remarked that the apartment is not clean enough, that the child looks tortured and you are overloading him with lessons, and you have clearly gained a couple of kilograms, but of course it suits you ... To survive such an event, we suggest you leave with your head in the form of lunch. For example, make it in a marine style. Cover the table with a blue or blue tablecloth, decorate it with shells, ask the children to make boats out of paper and paint them in different colors. The menu should be made exclusively with seafood and fish - with them you can cook a lot of very cool and delicious appetizers, salads, soups and hot dishes. Even if your mother-in-law does not appreciate your efforts, your husband and father-in-law will definitely like them.
6. Company of any composition: gatherings with homemade pizza
If on vacation you invited a crowd of friends with children of different ages to visit, then here is the perfect format that everyone will definitely like - a pizza party. Not ordered in the delivery service, but at home. Prepare the pizza dough in advance (you will find different dough recipes), grate more mozzarella and ask your friends to bring 3-5 types of their favorite products with them. As soon as the guests gather, start creating - roll out the dough (you can not in a circle, but in the shape of a baking sheet), lay out the ingredients brought by the guests, sprinkle with cheese - and into the oven. After that, try everything together and choose which of the guests had a mix of favorite products that turned out to be tastier. By the way, you can not make dessert separately. As a sweet, the same pizza, for example, is perfect.
7. Children apart from adults: a special buffet
If there are a lot of children and they are already old enough to leave them alone, allocate a separate room for them, where they set the table with special "children's" snacks. A stock of cartoons or console games and a table of curly sliced cheese and ham, crackers and savory biscuits, fruit pieces and marshmallows. We guarantee that with such a table and multimedia entertainment, children will not remind adults of themselves for a couple of hours at least.
8. Company of any composition: grill party
This party format is ideal for happy owners of an electric grill. For example,
Tefal Optigrill XL GC722D34. With its help, you canwelcome any guests. Hungry men fry steaks and burgers. D girls who are worried about the figure, fish fillet or chicken breast without oil. For children - to fry fruit - it will definitely amaze their imagination and delight them. Most importantly, such a grill party is a pleasant memory of the summer, warm July evenings, when you and your friends gathered at someone's dacha and grilled meat and fish.
9. Elderly relatives: tea drinking in the English style
Perhaps, not only friends, but also various relatives, relatives, cousins and second cousins grandmothers and aunts, will want to visit you during the holidays. Our advice to you: if there is no particular enmity between them (well, you never know), invite them all together and arrange something bright and beautiful for the sake of such a meeting. For example, gatherings in the spirit of the English five-o-clock tea party. The classic format suggests that there will be small sandwiches, soft scones, a variety of mini-cakes, pieces of cake and sweets on the table. A beautiful tea set and fragrant tea will complete the picture. Treat your relatives , give them hot tea and patiently listen to all their complaints and stories, because the main thing they lack so much is your attention.
We hope you find our ideas helpful. It is logical that you will not follow them completely, we just wanted to inspirenot to receive guests according to the usual program,
and come up with something original. Who knows, maybe a new format of gatherings you will like it so much that you will repeat it in the new year and meet friends much more often than in the past.
