"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Method:
Cranachan: Whisk the cream together with the honey and the malt whisky. Fold in the toasted oatmeal. Pile on top of fresh raspberries and serve with shortbread biscuits.
Shortbread : Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Work the sifted flour and rice flour into the creamed mixture until it forms a firm paste. Knead it lightly on a well floured board.
Roll it out until quite thin and cut biscuit shapes with the cutter of your choice. Using a palette knife, lift the biscuits onto a well buttered baking sheet.
Bake on the centre shelf at Gas Mark 5/375F until pale golden in colour. Remove from the oven and sprinkle liberally with caster (fine granulated) sugar while still warm.
Lift on to wire tray to cool and firm-up. Store in an airtight tin
