Polish sour rye soup built on a soured rye starter, simmered with smoky sausage and potatoes, finished with cream and halved boiled eggs — a tang no other soup quite reaches.
Steaks in a pepper crust, seared and then deglazed with cognac into a cream sauce. A quarter of an hour in total, which makes it the quickest dish in the book — and one of the most demanding on timing.
Crisp layers of filo pastry brushed with butter, filled with spiced chopped walnuts, baked golden and soaked in a hot honey-lemon syrup.
