"Burnt, the exceptional cafe-restaurant on Askew Road, boasts a continually evolving menu of imaginative brunch dishes and dazzling small plates, but the miso, chocolate, and hazelnut cookie has been a constant since day one. This thin-stretched cookie consists of mesmerising concentric circles of rippling dough with great splashes of dark chocolate and whole smoked hazelnuts, like stones dropped into a sweet, sticky pond. While miso cookies are undoubtedly a London trend, Burnt demonstrates fine judgement of salty-sweet intensity across all of its baked goods. Anzac biscuits are lifted by brown butter and toasted coconut taken to an almost burnt edge, and a brand new tahini and lemon cookie coated in white sesame seeds delivers sweet-savoury-sharp contrast in every crisp-edged soft-centred bite." - Emma Louise Pudge
