Karpatka is also known as a Carpathian mountain cake, named after the Karpaty mountain range. The dough (in this case a choux pastry) creates the effect of mountains, and the icing sugar on top represents the snow. There are variations dating back to the 1950s and ’60s, which is the sort of time my parents began making their first return to Poland, after the Second World War (their first trip back was in 1952, and I have a memorable photograph of my mum, dad and two cousins standing outside the Teatr Narodowy, or National Theatre, in Warsaw). I like to think that, just after that photo, they went off to sit in a cafe in Warsaw to eat a slice of karpatka. The filling is a krem budyniowy (pastry cream). Make the pastry cream first and leave to chill overnight in the refrigerator covering the surface with clingfilm so that a skin does not form. For the choux, I use equal parts of water and milk. I sometimes like to add a layer of rose petal jam, but you can use any marmalade or preserve you fancy. The author of Polska, Zuza Zak, adds vanilla and cardamom to hers, which is also a lovely touch. If you can master the choux, you can go on to make eclairs!

The sweetness of a long-braised red cabbage is perfectly punctuated by the cheek-squeaky sharpness of cranberries. And, if you let this stand a little before serving, they — most desirably — help to thicken the juices the cabbage gives off as it cooks. Indeed, I always make red cabbage ahead of time: think of it as a vegetable stew, which is better, as all stews are, when the flavours are left to mellow and merge with one another. If you are following suit, then you can cook the cabbage for slightly less than its full time, as it will continue to cook on reheating. Even a small red cabbage seems to make enough to feed an army, but I can't see the point of leaving half a red cabbage lingering in the fridge. If you're feeding less than a crowd, just stash what you don't need in airtight containers in the deep freeze, ready to provide warm succour on cold winter nights.
