Joanne Chang

Harvard Book Store is thrilled to welcome local baker-extraordinaire JOANNE CHANG as she discusses her new book of recipes from her popular Flour bakeries in Boston and Cambridge, Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery and Café.

Every day 1,500 Bostonians (and now Cantabrigians!) can′t resist buying sweet, simple treats such as Homemade Pop-Tarts, from an alumna of Harvard with a degree in economics. From Brioche au Chocolat and Lemon Raspberry Cake to perfect croissants, Flour Bakery-owner Joanne Chang′s repertoire of baked goods is deep and satisfying. While at Harvard she discovered that nothing made her happier than baking cookies—leading her on a path that eventually resulted in a sticky bun triumph over Bobby Flay on the Food Network′s Throwdown. Almost 150 Flour recipes such as Milky Way Tart and Dried Fruit Focaccia are included, plus Joanne′s essential baking tips, making this mouthwatering collection an accessible, instant classic cookbook for the home baker.
