A hearty Slavic soup built on beef broth, three kinds of smoked and cured meat, pickled cucumbers, olives and capers: sour, salty, smoky and very filling, finished with sour cream and dill.
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.
Squares of plain sponge cake dipped in a thin chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut, so every side is coated in a snowy, textured crust around a soft crumb.
