Caraway Blini

I happened to have some smoked salmon which needed using up - you know, like you do - and I wanted a new blini recipe.  The problem with blini is that by about the third, you're feeling their leaden grip in your stomach.  They stop being a vehicle for the topping and become a hindrance.  I'd had my eye on Felicity Cloake's recipe for a while now, as it's a variation on Richard Bertinet's, and I think we all know I love Richard's gallic charm (and his excellent online baking shop).

Dan Lepard's Wholemeal Soda Bread

I'm a massive sourdough girl - I feed my sourdough starter every day and have been known to take it with me if it's looking a little unwell - it really is like having a (fifth) child!

Now some people appreciate the complexity of my sourdough, on twitter there are a core few who I'll talk particulars with (the Breadmakers) - but almost universally the bread people ask me about is sodabread.  Yes.  Irish sodabread.
