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.
Eight thin honey layers sandwiched with tangy sour cream frosting and left to soften overnight into a tender, fragrant cake.
