Steps:
- Use a food processor to finely pulse and crush your arrowroot biscuits into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them back into their packaging bag (after removing the plastic tray), seal the open end and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Transfer biscuit crumbs into a large mixing bowl along with the desiccated coconut and lemon zest. Give a quick mix until roughly combined.
- Pour the condensed milk and milk over the crumbs and mix roughly with a spoon, then use your hands to get all the ingredients evenly incorporated. The texture should be nice and sticky, and hold if you squeeze it in your hand. Keep it nice and loose so you can pour it into the baking tray. Note: If the crumbs seem too dry to hold their shape, add an extra 1 tbsp milk and mix well. The extra moisture should help it come together and set nicely.
- Press most of the mixture out firmly into a baking tray lined with baking paper, reserving a handful in the bowl. You can then use the leftover crumbs to fill in any uneven areas of the base. Tip: Use the back of a dessert spoon to get it nice and flat (the pointier end will help you get right to the edges).
- Pop into the fridge to set while working on the icing.
- Mix the icing sugar, butter, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth. You want the icing thicker than normal, as it will set better as a topping. Too thin and it will run when you try and cut it. Tip: If it's too thick, add a little more juice. If it's too runny, add a little more icing sugar.
- Carefully spread the icing out over the biscuit base. You can use a fork to spread it out initially and get it right out to the edges.
- Then use the back of a hot metal spoon (dunked in hot water) to smooth out the icing, or leave it rougher for a more rustic look. Optional: Garnish with a light sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
- Slice into pieces (either 9 large slices or 36 small bites) and store in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

PASTA WITH FRIED LEMONS AND CHILE FLAKES
You probably already have a favorite pantry pasta dish that you habitually whip up when there's nothing in the house for dinner. Next time, try this one instead. It has all the usual players - olive oil, Parmesan, flaky sea salt - along with fried lemons for brightness and chile flakes for heat. Don't skip the step of blanching the lemon slices before frying. It may seem fussy, but it eliminates any bitterness in the lemon pith and takes only a few extra minutes. Then dry the lemon slices well before adding them to the hot oil; this helps them brown more deeply.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely zest 2 of the lemons and set aside. Trim the tops and bottoms off the other 2 lemons and cut lengthwise into quarters; remove seeds. Thinly slice the quarters crosswise into triangles. Blanch the lemon pieces in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a dish towel. Blot dry.
- In the boiling water, add pasta and cook until just barely al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. Add the dried lemon pieces and season with a pinch each of salt and sugar. Cook until the lemons are caramelized and browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Melt the butter with the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the chile flakes and zest of both lemons; cook until fragrant. Whisk in the reserved pasta water.
- Toss in pasta, juice of 1 lemon, cheese, pepper and the remaining salt. Cook until pasta is well coated with sauce. Toss in the caramelized lemon and the celery leaves and parsley if using. Taste and add lemon juice if needed. Serve, topped with a drizzle of oil, more cheese if you like, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
