If you want to make sure that your guests are happy on New Year’s, you need to make sure that they you serve the best food to go with the finest drinks! Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert chef to tantilize your guests’ taste buds.
Firstly, it’s always good to make sure that you have something on your tables to serve your guests while they are waiting for food. The ideal snacks include light finger foods, perhaps a couple of types of dip. There are plenty of types of dips and some great ideas include aubergine dip and tuna tip.
If you are sitting around the table and you want to serve a light starter, you could serve crumbed mushrooms, calamari, or even a couple of your favourite soups. A salad bar is also a great idea if you want to keep it light. Just be sure to set bowls out and keep extra ingredients on standby in case anything runs low. You will also need at least two different types of salad dressing as well as some plain oil and vinegar.
For your main course, you could serve a delicious roast or you could host a themed party. For example, you could host a fiesta with all sorts of Mexican food and beverages. Choose a destination on the map and make it an authentic evening by serving all the traditional dishes while also focussing on the décor!
As for dessert, you might want to go light. In most cases, you and your guests will likely be enjoying a few drinks. Heavy desserts do not mix well with more than a couple of drinks which is why you should opt for a light and fluffy cake or anything that is not particularly creamy.
Even after the meal has been enjoyed, you will want to continue serving beverages including coffee and tea. It’s also a good idea to keep some light snacks on the tables just in case anyone feels peckish later in the evening. Beer drinkers in particular will agree that salty snacks like crisps and nuts go down very well with a pint!
