Crafting a Luxurious Appetizer with LAFCO’s Feu de Bois

The glow of LAFCO’s Feu de Bois candle, reminiscent of a cozy fireside, can elevate any gathering to an event of understated elegance. This fragrance, with its deep, woody notes, wraps the room in a cloak of luxury and warmth, making it the perfect backdrop for an intimate holiday celebration.

This season, let the Feu de Bois candle be the silent guest of honor at your table, complementing a dish that mirrors its sophistication: rye blinis topped with smoked salmon, a dollop of crème fraîche, and the crown jewel, golden Osetra caviar.

Each element of this dish is a nod to the candle’s allure—the smokiness of the salmon pays homage to the smoldering wood notes, while the silkiness of crème fraîche reflects the smoothness of the candle’s burn. The caviar, with its luxurious texture and depth of flavor, parallels the complex layers of the Feu de Bois scent.

Here’s how you can bring this sensory harmony to your table…

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Additional butter or oil for cooking
  • Smoked salmon
  • Nutmeg
  • Creme fraiche
  • Golden osetra caviar
  • Chives

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add buttermilk and melted butter. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each blini. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
  7. Serve the rye blinis warm with smoked salmon, creme fraiche with fresh nutmeg, caviar and finally top with chives and dill. Enjoy.

As your guests partake in this culinary creation, they’ll not only savor the flavors but also be enveloped by the Feu de Bois fragrance, creating a dining experience that is as unforgettable as it is luxurious. Enjoy this perfect pairing as a start to a holiday meal that promises to be as warm and inviting as the candlelight itself.
