A simple and very easy-to-prepare salad that I was preparing for the New Year. Salad with celery and apple acquires juiciness, freshness and interesting taste and aroma.
Almonds are almond, tender, fragrant and crumbly cookies. A delicious addition to New Year’s gifts. Simple in appearance, easy to prepare, but its unique almond aftertaste tempts you to eat another cookie again and again.
The taste of the cake turned out great. The appearance is decent. This dish can be served as a hot or cold appetizer. It turned out delicious, satisfying and very fragrant. And besides, the aroma of tangerines, which are part of the dish, is a very New Year’s fragrance.
