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.
A tall, airy whisked sponge made with only eggs, sugar and flour, split into layers with raspberry jam, whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
