Blini with caviar: a sophisticated way to spoil yourself
From our US edition
We three brothers are proud of our country upbringing and origins but with both parents chefs and living on a vineyard, there was a fair degree of decadence in the kitchen. We can also stake claim to having a Russian grandmother and although she departed a long time ago, the legacy of Blini, smoked salmon, caviar and Champagne is difficult to quit. We are of course loyal to the English sparkling wine we make ourselves at Nutbourne but Richard has proposed a couple of alternative wine pairings to give you choices to pair with this perfect New Year’s Eve canapé. Of course you can buy them ready-made these days but they are never quite the same. And it’s a shame to buy them when they are such a simple but sophisticated dish to master at home.
