"Common Ground is an all-day joint in Stroud Green, with a wide range of baked goods including an ultra-creamy Basque cheesecake. It’s a faithful recreation of the original La Viña version, made by combining good quality cream cheese and caster sugar with yolk-rich Cacklebean rggs, a dash of vanilla, gluten free flour and a pinch of salt. It is baked until smoky and caramelised on top yet precariously wobbly in the middle, before being cooled and left to set in the fridge overnight — further improving its texture and flavour. It’s currently available weekends only, and with only 12 slices available, it’s worth setting an alarm." - Emma Louise Pudge
