Cranberry&Nut Pie

I think cranberry is real winter berry. In a duet with sugar or icing sugar it can become a pleasant treat for children and grown-ups, and the whole berries will decorate even the most ordinary pie just like scarlet beads.

Sugared cranberry is a sweet which I remember from my childhood. Although its sweetness is a moot idea. I like the contrast of the flavors: sweet at the beginning and pleasantly bitter when the berry splits.

Another perfect combination is cranberry, nuts and dark chocolate. Especially if it is on the spicy shortcake. A piece of such cake will be good addition to morning coffee or evening tea. And I don't mind having it at lunch.

Chocolate cookies with white pepper

Sometimes you haven't got any mood. No good, no bad, may be depressed mood? I can't express more exactly. Only kitchen saves me at such moments. Not eating tenth chocolate sweet, but cooking. Maybe even sweets. But I get special pleasure while baking pies, cakes and cookies. At first making dough, then wearisome waiting, working with the dough and finally long-expected result. You treat your family, take a sample by yourself, share the recipes - and get much pleasure. You feel happy.
Do you have such moments?
