Guide

New Year's Eve recipes for buffets and long evenings

New Year's Eve's dinner should often work side by side: finger food, appetizers, dips, salads, small hot dishes, desserts in the glass or a soup for later fit better than sensitive dishes.

It is important that recipes remain stable for several hours or can be refreshed quickly. Crispys, dressing and herbs should remain separate until served.

Prepare party dinners cleverly

  • Keep portions small: This way guests can try without setting themselves straight.
  • Serve dips separately: Pastries, nachos or vegetables stay good for longer.
  • Plan a hot dish for later: A soup or a hot tin dish fits well around midnight.

So the food accompanies the evening, instead of determining it organizationally.

Quantity and selection for a New Year's Eve buffet

Plan four to six well-combinable dishes rather than many individual mini-projects. Depending on the duration and additional main dish, several small appetizers are useful for each person. Bread, dips, salads and a warm component catch different preferences.

Raclette ingredients, cheese, fish, meat and creamy dips must remain cool until use. Put out smaller portions and fill if necessary. For a late meal are suitable One-pot dishes or soups that can be heated in proportion.

So the buffet remains appetizing

  • Crispy: Do not combine crackers, puff pastry and bread with moist layers early.
  • Cold food: Don't leave the whole evening uncooled.
  • Refill: Small plates look fresher and can be replaced more easily.

Thus, the food remains safe over a long evening, varied and without constant cooking.

FAQ

Keep moist coverings, sauces and dressings separately and stock bread or pastries just before serving. Fritted and puff pastry should not evaporate densely covered.
