If the question "What to cook for Shrovetide?" Can be considered rhetorical (it is clear that the pancakes), on Valentine's Day, which has recently become a holiday for Russian lovers, it is customary to give all kinds of hearts biscuit, marzipan, chocolate, etc. . I suggest several ideas that will help decorate the table in the style of "valentines" Bake a heart-shaped cake is really not difficult. Similarly, the notches in the form of hearts, you can cut out cookies or small cakes. And you can cut heart shaped tartinki from thin slices of bread or a loaf, stick them into a toaster or oven and use it to make canapé sandwiches. And to smear such sandwiches you can do anything: from caviar and pates to whipped cream and fruit desserts. Thus, you can cover and the entire festive table. True, this idea is more suitable for men or young girls, not experienced in the subtleties of culinary art. For those who in the kitchen feel like a "fish in the water" and are not afraid to mess with the test, we offer the idea of ​​"hearty cheesecakes". Her charm consists also of a possible variety of fillings. Two hearts are cut from the puff pastry: one solid and the other with a recess in the middle, stacked one on the other (this heart with bumps is obtained), the top surface is gently smeared with egg (make sure that the egg does not get on the side surface, otherwise the dough will not rise) and cheesecakes are baked in the oven. In the middle you can put mushrooms stewed in sour cream, fish or crab salad, meat pâté. You can stuff them with cream, fill in jelly, beautifully lay fruit, whipped cream. By the way, to decorate cheesecakes you can cut hearts from a slice of tomato, cucumber, pepper, lemon, apple, oranges. Next thing is your fantasy.
