Pirozhki
Pirozhki are traditional Eastern European hand pies, particularly beloved in Russian cuisine. These small, portable delights feature a soft, pillowy yeast dough wrapped around savory or sweet fillings. Classic savory versions contain ground meat with onions, cabbage with eggs, or potato with mushrooms, while sweet variations might feature fruit preserves or sweetened farmer's cheese.
To make pirozhki, a yeast dough is prepared, allowed to rise, then divided into small portions. Each portion is flattened, filled with the prepared filling, sealed into an oval or crescent shape, and then either baked until golden or fried until crispy. They're perfect for meals on the go or as comforting appetizers.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
