ICONOCLAST’S
Favorite Flan Recipe
The composition Flan is Like a
Woman (Paradise CD, Track 21) was inspired by our passion for flan.
Its polyrhythmic intensity conveys our cravings. While on tour in Europe
we indulge in all varieties whether it be flan, crème brulee,
crema catalana or crème caramel. We even finished one tour with
flan ice cream in Madrid at 4AM!
Enjoy!
