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.

Cheddar and Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies

There is a special charm in December. The sky is coldly-blue and serene. The air is fresh and frosty, gives a reddish glow to our noses and cheeks. And snow... it falls by pretty snowflakes on the hair. The ashberry shows red, Christmas fairs are at their height. They invite us in a fairy-tale and approach magic Christmas holidays.

It's so cozy at home: favorite rocking-chair, warm plaid, a cup of hot cocoa and pies!

Pie with fish, spinach and pomegranate seeds

If you are going on a picnic this advice is for you: take delicious food as much as you can because great appetite suddenly appears outdoors. The best variants for a snack are pies, patties and tartlets. You can eat them with great pleasure while the main course is being cooked on the fire.
