Buttery brown sugar caramel flavors this ice cream, with an added boost from bourbon.

The defining characteristic of this chile sauce is the crispness, and in my version I’ve included old-fashioned rolled oats and coconut flakes for extra crunch. You will find me adding it to pasta, eggs, jook, pizza and, of course, roasted vegetables. 

Esqueixar means “to shred” and that’s what’s done to salt cod in this traditional Catalonian cold dish. Trout is used in this dish instead.
