Roasted Peaches in Bourbon Syrup with Smoked Salt

One bite of this dish promises to “expand the boundaries of sensation separating your mouth from the rest of your body, and you’ll be feeling spiciness in the warmth of your hands and smokiness in the tingling of your toes,” or so says Bitterman, who won a James Beard Foundation Book Award this year for his manifesto on all things Salted. You might also try grilling the peaches—but if you do, use an un-smoked salt or the dish might taste overly smoky.
