The word "banquet" is of French origin and means a gala dinner or, more often, a dinner dedicated to some significant event. Within its meaning, the banquet assumes that everything should be at the highest level. The main place in the organization of any celebration is the preparation of the banquet menu.
Instructions
Step 1
You can create a menu for the celebration with the help of the chef of the establishment where the celebration will take place, or on your own. Typically, the banquet menu includes the following dishes: cold and hot appetizers, salads, hot dishes with or without a side dish, dessert and drinks.
Step 2
Cold snacks can be presented in the form of pancakes with caviar, canapes from various ingredients, salted, pickled, smoked fish; meat, cheese, sausage cuts; pickled mushrooms with onions and herbs; various rolls, pates, etc.
Step 3
It is considered good form if more than four types of salads are served at the banquet. In addition, it is better to abandon the banal - "Olivier" and "under a fur coat" (or present them in a new design). There is a huge variety of original and sophisticated salad recipes.
Step 4
The following dishes are perfect as hot dishes: meat or fish steaks; grilled poultry, fish, meat, pot roasts, etc. You can serve the hot dish either as an independent dish or with a side dish. Baked vegetables will be a great addition to meat.
Step 5
Dessert can be presented in the form of a cake (traditional), glazed fruits, pastries, cheese platter with grapes, Italian biscuits, fruit pies … It all depends on the taste and preferences of your guests.
Step 6
The final and extremely important stage in the preparation of the banquet menu is drinks, the choice of which should also be based on the preferences of the guests. From non-alcoholic drinks you can choose: juices, fruit drinks, compotes, tea, coffee, mineral water (must be in two types: carbonated / non-carbonated at the rate of 1 bottle per person). Alcoholic drinks in each case are selected separately, mainly vodka, tequila, cognac, whiskey, wine, champagne.
