Michael Pollan is a multiple award-winning American journalist who writes about the intersection between culture and nature, whether it's in our minds, gardens or kitchens. He has authored multiple books, most notably Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation, which was made into a four-part documentary series by Netflix. In it he writes, "Cooking is one of the more beautiful forms that human generosity takes; that much I sort of knew. But the very best cooking, I discovered, is also a form of intimacy."

And intimacy you will find in the carefully plated creations in Café Zoe's new dessert menu. In the viola blossoms decorating the dishes, in the hints of butter popcorn that the cream is infused with, in the odd shape of a purple-coloured sponge and in the relationship that the creator shares with each and every one of his creations.
