Żurek
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.

Ukrainian Borsch
A deep beetroot soup on beef broth with cabbage and potatoes. The colour survives because the vinegar goes in with the beetroot, not into the pot at the end. Served hot with sour cream, dill and crushed garlic.

Tarte Tatin
An upside-down caramelised apple tart from the Loire Valley — dark, sticky, buttery caramel beneath a blanket of tender apples and crisp, golden pastry. Simple in theory, spectacular in execution. Serve warm with crème fraîche.
