What food can you order for work? Buffet at work: a holiday in the office at home

It happens that good management arranges banquets for employees, but this is on especially special occasions. You won't get anything like this on your birthday. You have to make do on your own.

The first question you should ask yourself is how many people are you going to invite. To all the counted guests, you should add another 5-10 people (unless you work in a very small company), who will certainly come to congratulate you.

Proportional to the number of guests, purchase alcohol, disposable glasses, plates, forks, spoons and napkins. You will also need a corkscrew, an opener, a sharp knife and a table cloth.

Now is the time to think about the menu

We discard hot dishes and salads immediately. There is a lot of fuss with them, it is difficult to eat at an impromptu buffet table, and it is almost impossible to bring them to work in their original form. This means that the main emphasis should be on cold appetizers.

You should start with sandwiches and canapés. The more there are, the more interesting it is for those present. Sausage, meat, fish, cheese should be cut at home, and at work just spread them on bread. It is very convenient to purchase portioned processed cheeses, which guests can combine with meat delicacies if they wish.

Don't neglect pates and eggplant caviar. They also make wonderful canapés, especially if you buy or make homemade white croutons or crispbreads.

You can fry black bread croutons at home and rub them with garlic. And at work, place the sprats on them and garnish with a sprig of dill.

It is convenient to purchase soft curd cheeses (with herbs, horseradish and garlic), which are then ideally spread on a slice of ham and rolled into rolls. You can tie this roll with green onions or a stalk of parsley.

Try offering your guests homemade spreads. For example, grind 200 g of feta cheese and 100 g of sour cream. Or finely chop 15 g of parsley, mix with 100 g of butter, adding a little lemon juice.

You can also use boiled lean pork and beef in sandwiches. Place a piece of meat on a round slice of white bread, spread with horseradish or mustard butter. Top the sandwich with butter, mustard and parsley leaves.

Make herring sandwiches for your vegetarian guests. Place a piece of boneless herring on a rectangular slice of rye bread, spread with melted cheese. Sprinkle finely chopped green onions around.

Salted and pickled tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives are ideal for snack status.

Buns, pies, cheesecakes will be a wonderful addition to the table.

Don't forget about vegetables and fruits. If possible, you should wash them at home, so that you don’t have to wander around the corridors with bags and plates. And then just cut it.

Citrus fruits do not need to be peeled, otherwise they will dry out too quickly.

Pineapples, if you decide to splurge on them, need to be cut into very thin triangular slices so that your guests don’t get covered from head to toe.

The apotheosis of a work banquet should be a cake. And even better - homemade sweet pie.

Why, you can have salads, but put them in waffle baskets, they sell like that

At work, we have developed an excellent menu for birthdays and other things: sliced ​​meat, fish, vegetables (not for bread, but just for plates, bread separately), fruits (depending on the season), olives, olives and gherkins. A great snack to go with any drink. But we don’t eat sweets, except for chocolates.

You can’t eat butter during Lent! But you can have croutons with jam or sugar (sprinkled with sugar and baked in the oven), or with garlic, onions and mushrooms. And juice.

How will vegetarians eat fish? She was alive! You see, they are strict vegetarians who do not accept either milk or eggs! What about those who are fasting now? For them, only eggplant caviar and bread not fried in butter:(((Well, saltiness, still fruit. They can’t have cake either:((.

Why is there a banquet? For example, I’m going to use the idea of ​​ham with soft cheese inside, also tied with onions and at home! Loved this recipe!

The article is very good, I completely agree with the author about cold appetizers!
I especially recommend it to young people getting a job for the first time.
I wish you success

Are you congratulating for the sake of treating yourself to pizza???? Then it’s better to just chip in and buy it for yourself! We congratulate everyone, for some we chip in if we know that the person won’t be obligated to do so (if they want to, they’ll put it in, but if they don’t, it won’t), for others it’s just flowers, sweets, tea, etc. And so it has been for many years.

At this age we went crazy: pizza, French fries, children's chicken kebab, lots and lots of liquid. They almost didn’t touch the fruit (but that depends on the children), the cake - they just blew out the candles and that’s it, we had to drag the whole thing home!!! Additional orders were placed for pizza and kebab, but children's sandwiches remained practically untouched. The menu was drawn up when the contract was signed.
My parents ordered it for themselves. The celebration started at 11 am and ended at 8 pm (even though it was planned at 3 pm).

If there are a lot of games, then you need to be able to run up, quickly grab something to drink or eat and run on.

And definitely CAKE!

so to speak I report:
Made from one (large) chicken

Caesar (my mother and I really liked it, my husband doesn’t like greens other than onions in salad, so he didn’t try it)
chicken in the oven (even left for tomorrow)
a fresh vegetable salad
stuffed eggs, sliced, rice on the side (there was a pack with wild rice), eclairs (for my husband to take to work instead of sweets for the table, he bought the rest, that’s how it’s done, in general, for the first time, someone brought home-made baked goods...)

in general, thanks for the advice, the table was a success, tomorrow my husband will (probably) thank you... fell asleep today...

I don't recommend baking chicken. The people will remain hungry - four adults and a child - one chicken will definitely not be enough.
It’s better to fry the breasts and make Caesar, and make pilaf or chakhokhbili from the rest.
Honey mushrooms can be stewed with onions and sour cream. You can also make pies or spring rolls - it's inexpensive.
You can still cook borscht by buying some brisket. Also an inexpensive dish.
I wouldn’t cut them - they are of no use, but they are expensive.

Snacks and appetizers

You need: 40 balls of mozzarella cheese, 4 dozen basil leaves, 20 cherry tomatoes in two colors (usually yellow and red, but single-color ones are also used), coarse sea salt, olive oil, ground chili pepper.

• This dish will take no more than 7 minutes to prepare. The presented products will be enough for 10 servings, so if you have more colleagues, calculate the ingredients again. First, cut the cherry tomatoes into small slices. If you want juicier canapés, use whole ones;
• Prepare wooden skewers. Alternate cheese balls, basil leaves, tomatoes and alternate all prepared foods;
• Place canapés in a container in which you will carry food to colleagues. This snack will cost you quite little, the most expensive ingredient will be mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil over everything or drizzle with balsamic vinegar if you don't like oil.

Take: for 4 servings you will need 100 grams of butter, a little olive oil, 2 cups of canned pineapple, 3 pieces of chicken, 8 tortillas, 800 grams of grated hard cheese, barbecue sauce, table salt and ground pepper at the discretion of the cook, cilantro.

• Place pineapple slices on wooden skewers and fry them on a low heat grill or in a frying pan seasoned with oil;
• Cook the chicken in a frying pan, sprinkling it with salt and seasonings in advance. Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, pour the barbecue sauce over it and slice it;
• Fry the tortillas on both sides in heated oil. They should form a crispy golden crust. Next, place a little chicken, pineapple and hard cheese shavings on every second tortilla. Sprinkle them with cilantro, and then, when you remove them from the pan, brush them with sauce. Cover the filled tortillas loosely and bake in a pan until the cheese is melted. It is better to eat such snacks warm, so it will be great if there is a microwave oven at your place of work.

You need: 200 grams of leeks, 2 kilograms of fresh avocados, 3 green pears, 10 tablespoons of lime juice, table salt, 10 chili peppers, 400 grams of green seedless grapes.

• In a blender, beat the onion, chopped chili peppers, and salt. Do not turn off the mechanism until the mass becomes homogeneous. Add avocado pieces without skins to the blender in portions. Pour the lime juice directly into the container and whisk again;
• Separately, stir the pear and grapes in a blender. Mix the resulting masses by hand in a large bowl, and then transfer to a carrying container;
• A budget snack option can be supplemented with bread. This guacamole is best paired with rye or yeast-free guacamole. It is acceptable to eat guacamole with vegetables or anything at all. It is only important to serve the dish correctly so that all those celebrating have the opportunity to spread the mixture on their food.

Take: 850 grams of herring fillet, 5 eggs, 3 large round pitas, 5 slices of white loaf, white vinegar, 2.5 green apples, onion, fresh dill.

• Fill three medium slices of bread with drinking water until it completely covers the bread. Then get to work peeling and chopping the apple and onion. Half of the apple should be used for decoration, so cut it in advance so that the flesh does not become dark;
• Pass the fish through a meat grinder. Add onions, apples, boiled chicken eggs and squeezed out swollen bread to the minced fish. Add white vinegar to the mixture and then stir by hand. You need to place the mincemeat on the pita quarters. You can decorate the dish with sprigs of dill, as well as pieces of ripe apple. But it’s best to start decorating on the spot: during transportation, everything can get ridiculously mixed.

Sweets and baked goods

You need: 2.5 cups of premium wheat flour, 250 grams of butter, 7 chicken eggs, a pinch of salt and 750 grams of drinking water.

• This delicious menu item will take up to 60 minutes to prepare. Start cooking by boiling water. Add salt and pieces of butter to it. It is better if they are small, so cut the butter in advance. When everything is dissolved, reduce the heat. Pour the sifted flour into the saucepan, stir, but do not remove from the heat;
• Transfer the dough into a deep bowl. Add broken raw eggs to it. Beat until the mixture becomes smooth and shiny;
• Place walnut-sized pieces of dough on a greased baking sheet or baking paper. Watch the shape of the baked goods. This is what they will look like when the heat treatment is finished. Bake profiteroles at 200 degrees for half an hour. Pierce the finished ones with the tip of a knife to release hot air. Before packing into a container, sprinkle the profiteroles with powdered sugar.

Take: 3 fresh persimmons, 400 grams of butter, 10 tablespoons of cane sugar, 900 grams of rolled oats, 8 tablespoons of wheat flour.

• Using a spoon, remove the pulp from the persimmon. Separate the skins and seeds, as well as inedible parts of the fruit. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. When it starts to boil, add oil and persimmons to it. Stir everything until the mass becomes homogeneous, and then stop heating;
• Add rolled oats and sifted premium wheat flour to the mixture. Mix the stripe dough thoroughly and start heating the oven. The temperature in it must be brought to 170 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and pour the dough into it. If that doesn't work, start spooning it out and spread it evenly over the surface. Place the baking sheet with the stripes in the oven for half an hour. When baking is finished, cut the dish into strips. Can be served either warm or cool.

You need: 960 grams of butter, a glass of dried cherries and peeled green pistachios, 10 glasses of wheat flour, 4 tablespoons of vanilla extract, a glass of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of table salt. These ingredients are for 4 people, so pay attention to the number of people you are serving.

• Using a mixer, beat the melted butter and a glass of powder. You want them to become creamy. Add vanilla and table salt, cherries, crushed nuts and flour to the container. Now you will have to stir by hand;
• Form ovals from the viscous dough and place on a baking sheet greased with butter. Bake the sweets for 16-20 minutes (watch the color of the baking gingerbread cookies), the oven temperature should be 180 degrees. Cool the cherry gingerbread cookies for 10 minutes, and after baking, roll them in powdered sugar. Transfer the baked goods to parchment paper and cool completely. Subtle notes of dried cherries will create an extraordinary contrast with sweet pistachios and yeast-free dough.

Take: 2 cups of premium wheat flour, 350 grams of white grated chocolate, 750 grams of mascarpone, 10 tablespoons of heavy cream, chicken egg, 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. You will need fruits (it is better to use canned ones).

• Mix flour, broken chicken egg, oil and sand. Knead the dough with clean, bare hands, and then roll it into a pancake and cool for 10 minutes. Cut out circles from the dough and place them in special molds. You want the cakes to resemble tartlets after baking. To prevent the dough from puffing up in the middle, press it down with a piece of parchment paper. Bake the dough for 10 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees. After this, remove the paper and let it heat for another 5 minutes;
• Melt white chocolate and about 125 grams of mascarpone in a water bath. Mix the resulting liquid and viscous mixture with the rest of the cheese. Beat the mixture until smooth, then add cream to it and beat again;
• Let the cream-filled baskets stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Then decorate the cakes as you wish. We recommend trying peaches, raspberries and strawberries. But remember - originality and an author's approach are important in cooking.

Don't be afraid to try new things, and you'll be sure to surprise your colleagues with your culinary talents.

A person spends most of his adult life at work, where there are routines and rules that apply to all areas of life. The corporate ethics of each private company has its own characteristics of holding holidays.

Usually it all comes down to congratulating the boss and employees, as well as a mini-banquet. There are institutions in which, dating back to Soviet times, the custom of celebrating holidays on a grand scale has still been preserved. Every day appears All more opportunities to make your holiday extraordinary and interesting even during the working day.

How to celebrate a birthday at work?

First what needs to be done is notify management and employees. Try to give everyone personal attention by inviting them personally.

Options for celebrating a birthday at work

If you don't have office parties, you can bring cake, desserts or seasonal fruit. By treating everyone, you will not distract anyone from the meal, but at the same time you will symbolically celebrate. Fruits can be arranged in vases, which will be placed around the office and offered to everyone.

If your bosses are against celebrating during working hours, you can get ready for lunch. In this case, it will be suitable as a treat pizza or other light snacks. Alcohol is not allowed, the minimum dose is a glass of champagne.

The next celebration option is gatherings after the end of the working day. In this case, the table can be plentiful, with the necessary amount of alcohol and competitions.

With enough money you can arrange a small corporate event in a nearby cafe or restaurant.

Features of birthday celebrations in the office

Knowledge of traditions. If you decide to celebrate your birthday in the office, it is better to immediately find out all the traditions that have developed in the team, rather than introducing your own rules. Find out from your colleagues how everything is going, what is being prepared and how management feels about it.

Office Birthday Invitation. It’s better if someone from your team does this, he goes around the entire office, announces an invitation to the upcoming holiday and collects a specific amount of money from everyone. Afterwards, the envelope is handed over to the “boss” and he will present it to the hero of the occasion as an unexpected and pleasant gift. In some groups it is not customary to give money, so they choose a gift by elimination.

When do we go for a walk? It is better to worry about the time of celebration in advance, plan working hours and the event itself. Find out from management in advance what times they are less busy so that you can start the holiday without any problems.

What to cook and how to behave at the table. All organizational issues except the table itself are resolved fairly quickly. Not everyone has the goal of making their holiday perfect, but you cannot choose the menu irresponsibly, since there is etiquette for how to behave with employees.

Menu strategy. To compile it, you can use tips from any culinary sites where recipes for such events have already been developed. Decide on two main courses, then select appetizers and salads to go with them. Spicyness and convenience when serving salads can be achieved by serving it in tartlets. Long-tired sandwiches and cold cuts can be easily replaced with original canapés. Don’t forget about dessert, you can be original here too. Now in almost every store you can buy small, but very beautiful and tasty cakes.

Taboo. Regardless of your relationship, do not forget that you are not among your friends, but among your colleagues. It is this fact that imposes some restrictions on topics: personal life, family problems, political issues and issues relating to other employees.

How to make a birthday party at work feel festive and stylish

set yourself in a positive and festive mood;

buy bright disposable tableware;

come up with a light musical accompaniment;

compose a beautiful speech that will be the answer to all congratulations;

Buffet in the office

On the one hand, the scheme is simple: at the end of the working day, gather everyone and eat treats with great pleasure, listening to wishes and congratulations from employees. On the other hand, to don't be corny you need everything think through to the smallest detail.

Beautiful table- already half the success of the event. First, figure out the serving if you use disposable tableware, which is quite comfortable, try to choose colored so that it matches with each other and do not forget about tablecloth and napkins. In this case, you will avoid the feeling of a cheap snack in the “gateway”.

The treats should be to the taste of all guests, pick up some treats for people who drink alcohol, and also keep in mind that among the employees there may be adherents of proper nutrition. The same goes for alcohol, there must be some choice, if the team is diverse. Don't forget about juice and mineral water.

You can organize a small feast on your own for any occasion and quite often (anniversaries, New Year, February 23 (I advise you to look at the ideas), March 8, successful completion of affairs, and so on).

Read on if your team loves and knows how to cook...

I tried to choose proven and easy-to-make snacks, so bookmark the article so that this cheat sheet is at hand at the right time! My ideas will help you organize a holiday quickly and inexpensively.

What to cook for a buffet at work?

I'm not advocating making all these snacks! Choose!

“For one tooth” - collection “100 canapés”

The first thing that comes to mind is small, elegant snacks (canapés). I’ve been collecting all these ideas in pictures for quite a long time and add them regularly, so you’ll definitely find suitable options (evaluate the time and financial costs).

Attention! All words in red

Consistently study my articles:

I liked the idea of ​​serving canapés on a shaped mirror. An unusual tray, it looks festive, and there are twice as many snacks :-). Take note!

The sandwich will taste better if...

...if you butter the bread prepared at home mustard oil(for 200 g of softened butter - 1 tablespoon of ready-made mustard from a jar)

… prepare cheese cream(in a blender, beat 150 g of hard cheese, 150 g of soft cream cheese, 2 cloves of garlic and several sprigs of herbs, 1/2 cup of cream 20-22%)

... put a piece of sausage or boiled pork for tartar sauce(add 30 g of finely chopped pickled cucumbers, 1 tablespoon each of chopped capers and green onions to 150 grams of mayonnaise, cool for 30 minutes, pour in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste).

As a rule, more than one person prepares a buffet at work, so you can distribute in advance among colleagues who can do what at home in advance. Approximate design of sandwiches on the picture:

Sandwich meat It's better to do it yourself. Believe me, your colleagues will highly appreciate a natural homemade product, it just takes a little effort! The meat is prepared simply.

... just decorate with a sprig of greenery:

Herring oil(beat one herring fillet in a blender with 200 g butter) or minced meat(scroll through a meat grinder the fillet of one herring, a green apple without peel, a small onion, a boiled egg, 70-100 g of butter, season with black pepper) they will only require a small decoration from a slice of cucumber and a sprig of dill. Figured bread can be made using cookie cutters.

Homemade chicken liver pate on a slice of bread with thin strips of bell pepper - a great appetizer for a buffet table at work. Recipe: Put carrots and onions in a saucepan with water, boil until tender, add 500 g of chicken liver to boiling vegetables. Boil everything together for 15 minutes, remove from the water and beat with a blender while hot, gradually adding the broth in which the products were cooked until a homogeneous mass is obtained, similar in thickness to sour cream. Let cool slightly, add 150 g of softened butter, salt to taste. This is a very cheap but festive snack!

Cheese cream with garlic on bread toast. I already wrote about how to make it in this article a little higher (it can be used as a “pillow” for boiled pork and sausage). But the cream itself is incomparably tasty and beautiful if you put it on a leaf of lettuce using a pastry syringe.

Pies and pancakes

Small pies made from yeast or puff pastry with the most traditional fillings (meat, cabbage with egg, potatoes with mushrooms) are a constant success. They fly apart first! I won’t describe it in detail, for now I’m just throwing out an idea for a holiday in the office. The most important - small size, also “one bite”.

Another good appetizer for an office buffet, which you can prepare at home and eat cold - spring rolls. Also tiny, of course. With red caviar or lightly salted salmon, for example. Look for a skilled person in the team, someone will definitely be able to handle it :-)!

Buffet at work: are salads appropriate?

Yes, I say boldly, since there are several ways to present them in an original way!

If you chop your usual salad (Olivier salad, crab salad, etc.) a little smaller than you are used to cutting for a regular feast, you can put it on a slice of bread or in a basket. Sometimes for salads they use disposable glasses or the most ordinary glass glasses (Martini glasses, bowls). Here's what it looks like:

By the way, you can put it in cups and I decided to throw in a very cute idea here! I saw it in a magazine and immediately scanned it for you :-). It will look very original (if your buffet at work was organized on New Year’s Eve) or just a “tree of happiness” made from candies if you are celebrating something else.

As a birthday approaches, every person thinks about how best to spend it. I want everything to be at the highest level, so all the details of organization and preparation are thought through. After all, a birthday is a special day that remains forever in everyone’s memory. A special role in the organization is played by the choice of dishes that will be present at it. They must be nutritious, healthy, tasty and look beautiful at the same time. So, delicious birthday recipes for work.

Soak the bottom cake with cherry juice and place in a round springform pan. For the top layer you will need pastry cream. They need to be beaten well and mixed with cottage cheese. Dilute gelatin in a small amount of warm water and add to the curd mass. Place chopped bananas, apples, kiwis and oranges on the biscuit soaked in juice. The layer of fruit should not be more than 4 cm. Next, lay out the curd mass, smooth it out and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Thanks to gelatin, the curd mass will harden. Decorate with grated chocolate and fruit.
