And although the new year will not come soon, many already want to find out what the menu should be like on this wonderful holiday. What can be cooked?

What should be New Year's dishes in 2017?

It should be noted that the symbol of the future of 2017 will be Fire Rooster. And such a bird is quite bright, quick-tempered and impulsive, but at the same time simple, homely and quick-witted. The rooster will stand up for himself and for his wards and show who is the real master in the house, or rather, in the chicken coop.

It feeds mainly on grains, but is also not averse to eating vegetables, fruits and breads. And all these qualities and preferences of the rooster should be taken into account when compiling the New Year's menu and set the main characteristics of the dishes.

So, New Year's recipes in 2017 must meet the following requirements:

• Brightness. Yes, the rooster is bright in itself, and its fieryness should only add color. So feel free to use bright ingredients
• Ease. In any case, New Year's dishes should be as light as possible, this will allow, firstly, to respect the rooster (after all, it is a herbivore), and secondly, to prevent overeating and heaviness in the stomach.
• Simplicity. Yes, a rooster is still a village resident, so he will not tolerate "overseas" and too complex dishes on the New Year's table. But still, you should not use long-term "bored" and "hackneyed" recipes. Just ditch exotic ingredients whenever possible and rely on unusual and unusual combinations of ordinary ingredients.

What products to use?

What to cook for the New Year 2017? Before compiling the menu, you need to understand that in no case should there be chicken on the New Year's table, and birds, in general, as this can anger the patron of the year of the Fire Rooster. As a result, you risk bringing problems for the next twelve months. But this does not mean at all that the set of dishes and their composition will be few and boring!

So which products should you use?

• Vegetables. They must be present on the menu without fail, and in large quantities, different variations and types.
• Fruit. Moreover, they can be used not only for preparing desserts and for table setting, but also for creating various salads and even hot dishes.
• Greenery. What rooster doesn't like greenery? Therefore, it should be as much as possible, but it must be fresh and beautiful, and not withered. You can use it not only as an additive to dishes or seasonings, but also to decorate the festive table.
• Cereals and cereals, their patron of the year is also very fond of. Therefore, as a side dish, instead of mashed potatoes, serve, for example, rice.
• Flour products. Their rooster will also certainly approve, so feel free to put trays with sandwiches, pies and other pastries on the table. And replace ordinary store-bought bread with home-made bread, moreover, with spicy and unusual additives, such as cumin or sesame.
• Meat. If you can’t imagine a New Year’s table without it, then use lamb, pork, veal or beef. But not a bird, don't forget about it!
• Dairy dishes, such as sour cream, which can be used instead of mayonnaise to dress dishes (by the way, this is lighter and useful option). Also be sure to add various cheeses, they will complement and transform both hot dishes and salads and snacks.
