The borscht with nettles sound intriguing. I have to consider using nettles in cooking, too.<br />Your idea of a joint venture cooking challenge sounds absolutely great to me. Just let me know some more details about it. You can drop me a message or a mail and we can talk about it over a cuppa.Chris Halfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575278721135723556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291967246759135121.post-90278278225034197672014-03-01T15:39:21.433+01:002014-03-01T15:39:21.433+01:00A great round-up!

As an "expert", if you don't mind me saying the second batch of blini with smoked salmon looks more authentic than the first one, though I am sure they were both delicious. Syrniki as I know them, are not typically cooked in trays, they are shaped by hand or cut with deep cookie cutters, but that would be nit-picking on my part. Your borscht looks great, and I think I am going to cook some soon, as I have seen tiny nettles appearing in the garden. That's just the right season for cooking borscht with nettles while they are baby size and delicate. The Russian doll party looks very festive! Kulich is fab as well, I am going to bake some closer to Easter.<br />Chris, I have an idea of making a cooking challenge together with you, would you be interested? Like Dom and Choclette did last month, a joint venture?Galina Varesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113049600313050157noreply@blogger.com
