Tvorozhnaya Zapekanka (Russian Cottage Cheese Bake)

Tvorozhnaya zapekanka is the soft, lightly sweet cottage-cheese bake that Russians remember from childhood kitchens and kindergartens. Sieved tvorog is mixed with eggs, sugar, and semolina, studded with raisins, and baked until set with a golden top. It slices like a cross between a cheesecake and a soufflé and is just as good cold as warm, with sour cream or condensed milk.

White Chicken Chili with chicken breast, great northern beans and green chiles — USA recipe

White Chicken Chili

White chicken chili is the pale, creamy answer to the red beef kind — shredded chicken and white beans in a broth built on green chiles, cumin, and oregano, thickened by pureeing part of the beans rather than by flour. Cream cheese stirred in at the end makes it velvety without turning it into soup-with-cream. It's mild enough for a weeknight, and the bowl gets finished at the table with lime, coriander, and a handful of grated cheese.

Yakitori (Japanese Grilled Chicken Skewers) with chicken thighs, soy sauce and mirin — Japan recipe

Meat Dishes

Yakitori (Japanese Grilled Chicken Skewers)

Yakitori (焼き鳥, yaki = grilled, tori = bird) is one of Japan's most beloved street foods and izakaya staples — bite-sized pieces of chicken threaded onto bamboo or metal skewers and grilled over charcoal, seasoned with either coarse salt (shio style) or brushed repeatedly with tare, a soy-mirin-sake glaze that caramelizes into a lacquered, sweet-savory coating. Authentic yakitori is cooked over binchotan (白炭), a white oak charcoal that burns at very high temperature with minimal smoke, allowing the fat dripping from the chicken to produce fragrant vapour rather than flare-ups. The two defining skewer styles covered here are negima (ねぎま) — chicken thigh alternated with long onion — and the plain momo (もも) thigh skewer. Both are grilled in multiple passes, dipped in tare, returned to the grill, and repeated until the exterior is lacquered dark and the interior is cooked through.

Meat Dishes

Zharkoe (Russian Beef and Potato Stew)

Zharkoe is a Russian stew of braised beef and potatoes in a thick gravy. The meat is browned first, then slowly simmered with onion and carrot until tender, and the potatoes go in only near the end. A spoonful of sour cream and fresh dill soften the gravy — hearty home cooking, best of all from a clay pot.
