BEN'S COOKIES

This international chain, founded in 1983 by a cookbook writer, Helge Rubinstein, has become a worldwide success. Long gone are the days of her first stand in a covered market in Oxford where she sold her first cookies. It was also her son Ben who inspired the name and who was sketched by Helge's friend: the famous illustrator Quentin Blake. The secret? Everything is made on the spot. Impossible to choose your taste among the 18 different cookies, chocolate or not. You have to take 2 or 3, and eat them warm!
