Banitsa
Coiled filo with a filling of brined white cheese, egg and yoghurt, baked until the outer spiral shatters and the inside stays soft. Best eaten warm, in the hand, with a glass of ayran.

Uzbek Plov with Lamb
Lamb, a great deal of carrot and rice cooked in one pot until every grain is separate and stained gold. The technique that matters is the zirvak — the base that the rice steams above but is never mixed into.

Poires Belle Hélène
Pears poached in vanilla syrup, covered in hot chocolate sauce as they are served. The pears can be poached the day before and lose nothing; the sauce is made at the last minute.
