Terra Madre Dinner 24Sept2016


Sergey and Ivan Berezutskiy, Two Faces of the Same Rouble

The most-talked-about twins on the Russian culinary scene, Sergey and Ivan Berezutskiy, are in their 30s and with talent to spare. At their Moscow restaurant, Twins, they serve ultra-traditional dishes from their country, with pre-Soviet roots, but reinterpreted with a modern twist. Their vision brings together playfulness and irony, with dishes that marry modern technology and traditional ingredients, sourced during many trips around Russia. The theme of duality, in life and in the kitchen, makes a regular appearance. Each dish highlights the similarities and differences between ingredients, in a philosophical vision of symbiosis.
