The Burnt Food Museum is a glorious celebration of when cooking goes wrong, badly wrong. It is a really quirky website and offers you a feel-good affirmation that your cooking is not all that bad.
What makes this site work is that it is not just a collection of burnt food, but that time and creativity have been put in to ensurie that the text accompanying each image really rocks.
I have a particular soft spot for the piece entitled the Chorizo Of Truth, but it is the text accompanying the burnt pizza toast that really stands out. See it below.
