Celebrating a birthday at work is a great way to bring people together. A beautifully decorated office will add a festive atmosphere. But the most important thing in this event is the festive table.
Basic rules for menu planning
It is worth finding out in advance if there is a microwave oven at work. After all, not all colleagues will be able to get together at the same time. Cold food may not be to everyone's taste. If there is still no possibility of heating, then you should refrain from cooking hot dishes.
Of course, you can pack food in containers, wrap them in towels. In this case, the heat can remain for several hours. The use of foil is also a great solution to the problem. The ideal solution would be to prepare various snacks, salads, canapes and sandwiches.
Next, you should take into account the dietary habits of some colleagues. For example, if there are vegetarians, then it is necessary to include salads or snacks made exclusively from vegetables in the holiday menu.
Male colleagues will like poultry or meat-based dishes with the addition of seafood, pâté. Women, however, may prefer lighter tartlets and salads with the addition of oil.
Examples of dishes
Tartlets stuffed with various salads are very popular at events of this kind. Ordinary salad "Olivier", poultry or mushroom pate will acquire an interesting taste when placed in tartlets. The dish is decorated with parsley leaves on top.
Canape is an equally simple and tasty snack. You can stuff bell peppers, ham and fresh cucumber on skewers. Olives, bell peppers, ham, hard cheese and shrimp are perfectly combined. Canapes can be prepared right at work.
Since Japanese cuisine has recently become very popular, you can order sushi. However, to impress your colleagues, it is best to serve salmon rolls. Thin plates of slightly salted fish must be spread with soft cheese, put a slice of cucumber in the middle. Everything must be rolled into a roll, which is then cut into portions. Put everything on slices of fresh cucumber.
Serving stuffed tomatoes to the table would be a safe bet. The filling can be the simplest: grated cheese with garlic. If you want to serve a more original and satisfying snack, then you need to choose a meat filling. To do this, you just need to fry the minced meat with mushrooms and onions. The tomatoes are stuffed and sprinkled with cheese on top.
Stuffed eggs, rolls with lavash are also examples of dishes for a holiday at work. Most importantly, with a minimum of time, you can arrange a wonderful feast for your colleagues.
