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.
A starter, a main and a dessert, already chosen. Swap anything you do not fancy.

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.
Beef shoulder braised slowly with a great deal of onion and sweet paprika, thickened at the end into a sauce heavy enough to coat a spoon. Ninety minutes of doing nothing, and most of the flavour is made in the first fifteen.
Orange, apple, banana, kiwi and grapes with a spoon of honey and lemon. Fifteen minutes, no cooking, and the order you cut things in matters more than the recipe.
