There are enough reasons for celebration in our life. These are general holidays in the calendar, and birthdays, and anniversaries of various events. And who needs it, he can generally organize a festivity from scratch. Let's figure out how to make a festive birthday dinner. Keep this cheat sheet always at hand.

General Principles

1. It's not necessary to come up with a themed party, but if you decide to do it, everything should be in the chosen style, including the color of the tablecloth and accessories on the table.
2. A birthday dinner should consist of approximately this number of dishes: 3 salads, 2 appetizers, 1 main course and dessert.
3. On the table to expand the range, you can also add olives, herring with onions, sauerkraut with lingonberries. These appetizers are prepared in minutes, and the appearance of a rich table is provided to you.
4. Try to please the guests. Therefore, do not season all salads with mayonnaise. One should be vegetarian, and hot is better to make it universal. No need to cooklobster if you don't know how all your friends will feel about it.
5. A birthday dinner must be hearty. Therefore, cook a dense hot dish, a lot of side dishes, and make two out of three salads quite high-calorie. It's hard to imagine how you feed adults, including men, carrot and Chinese cabbage salads.
6. Don't cook anything new on this day. Leave the experiments for next time. Surprise guests with long-familiar, but proven dishes.

Dealing with dishes

As already mentioned, a birthday dinner is not complete without a couple of salads. It is better to cook what you will definitely eat. Let's say Capercaillie's Nest salad: with smoked chicken, eggs, pickled cucumbers and chips. It is done quickly, and it will never remain on the plate. If you want bulky and inexpensive salads, then make anything with cabbage. Alsatian salad is suitable: in addition to cabbage, it also has boiled potatoes, parsley and fried bacon. Salad, which includes cabbage, fresh tomatoes and boiled chicken fillet, is also a good option. A birthday dinner is not complete without a couple of appetizers. And here their choice depends on the type of alcohol on your table. If you drink wine, then skewers with strung cheese and grapes will look good and appropriate. For stronger drinks and snacks, you need the appropriate ones. If there was no money for sandwiches with caviar, take ordinary pollock caviar and mix it with soft butter - you geta budget option. Tomatoes with cheese on black bread toast are also a very cheap snack. It is always better to cook meat from hot. Bake pork with potatoes and mushrooms under cheese. Of course, good fish will cost you much more, but it is also more difficult to spoil it. So, trout in foil cooks in 40 minutes, remains juicy and tender for a long time.

Let's get sweet

Often we don't have the energy for dessert after all the preparations. But if you are preparing dinner for your husband’s birthday, then making him happy with homemade pastries is your sacred duty. Here you can offer you an option that will save your time and effort. Prepare profiteroles from custard dough in advance. You can even 2 weeks in advance, because they freeze well in the refrigerator. Before your birthday, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw. Fill with stuffing and spread with sour cream. The Ladyfingers cake is ready with little effort!
