At Arta Atelier, a Harley-riding chef serves up boutique French pastries
Begovic, who rides his beloved Harley-Davidson to work when he can, also whips up buttermilk scones, frangipane tarts, madeleines and two kinds of chocolate-chip biscuit and larger-scale celebration cakes to order. He creates chocolates with flavours ranging from raspberry pistachio to lime and toasted coconut, and bakes limited runs of excellent meat pies, sausage rolls and burek. The burek, which Begovic makes within 10 minutes of ordering, is outstanding – its rolled and coiled spinach and cheese-filled pastry is buttery and pull-apart soft. He says it's inspired by his grandmother's recipe. Camden has plenty of pastry shops and bakeries (the best bakery is B85 Artisan Bakery over the road) but Arta Atelier's cakes, tarts and desserts are pure art. Ponder their beauty and restrained sweetness, then wolf them. Three other French-style patisseries to try Dear Florence Originally helmed by Irish chef Aoife Noonan, Dear Florence's range of brooch- and cloud-like cakes and tarts – including coffee, pecan and Japanese whisky, and citrus, yoghurt and orange-blossom honey varieties – are treasures in a hushed haute couture-like space.

Leicester City complete the signing of Asmir Begovic
Leicester City have signed veteran goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on a one-year contract. Begovic was a free agent after being released by Everton earlier this summer and had interest from several clubs before choosing to sign for Leicester. The Bosnian's move to Leicester will see him reunite with Marti Cifuentes, who previously managed him at Queens Park Rangers, where Begovic featured in 45 Championship games during the 2023/24 season. 'I feel really excited,' he told 'It's a pleasure to be here and a big honour to join such a great club. I can't wait to get going. It's not every day that a club of this stature gets in touch about joining. 'Hopefully we can have an exciting season where we can challenge at the top of the table and get the Club back where it belongs.' Having featured for Chelsea, Stoke City and Bournemouth in the past, Begovic brings a wealth of experience to Leicester City's goalkeeping department and will be expected to provide competition and mentorship. Begovic is Leicester's first signing of the summer window, but more arrivals are expected as the Foxes prepare for life back in the Championship following last season's relegation from the Premier League. Leicester are resigned to losing the likes of Wilfred Ndidi and Bilal El Khannouss and will need to replace them properly. The East Midlands outfit have one final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina to navigate this weekend before getting their Championship campaign underway at home to Sheffield Wednesday on August 10.
