Every time an exciting and happiness-bringing holiday. An event that we wait for long before it occurs. Filled with childhood dreams and hopes, we expect that this new year will be memorable for us. And someone will really remember it, because the Nativity Fast falls on New Year's Eve, which means you need to prepare a special table so that the holiday is a success and the fast is not broken.
Only at first glance it may seem that it is impossible to create a varied table from a limited number of products that could bring joy into the New Year. But in our kitchen arsenal we will have fish, fruits and vegetables.
It is customary to start holiday meals with appetizers, since there will be plenty of fruits and vegetables on our table; we can limit ourselves to slices. Or show your imagination and do something extravagant.

How to prepare delicious Lenten dishes for the New Year?
Firstly, the Advent calendar is not the strictest (like Great and Dormition Lent) and provides much more opportunities for preparing all kinds of delicious dishes. The reason is simple - it is allowed to eat fish. So, you can serve both fish and seafood at the New Year’s table - both hot and as part of cold appetizers. By the way, for those who like it, you can also prepare “meat” - soybean.
Secondly, it is not at all necessary to give up salads, without which we can no longer imagine the New Year's table. Don’t you know any recipes other than the usual “Olivier” or others, which necessarily include meat or sausage? No, it’s worth rummaging through your memory (and cookbooks), and such recipes will definitely come to mind. It’s just that before, until you fasted, you didn’t think about whether you were preparing lean food or not. By the way, below we will definitely give some tips on preparing “Lenten Olivier” for the New Year’s table. Imagination and hard work work wonders!
Speaking of salads: you've probably noticed that many stores sell mayonnaise without animal fats. This is what we will need for New Year’s salads.
Thirdly, do not forget about the golden rule, which, in essence, guides every experienced housewife. Experiment with familiar products, design them differently. Even ordinary boiled potatoes will appear in a completely different light if you supplement it with fried mushrooms and herbs. If you find it too everyday food, cut the herring into pieces and soak in vinegar, and then mix these pieces with onions and green peas, add a drop of sunflower oil. You'll like it! And this way you can transform any boring or too “everyday” dish.
