Flour Bakeries Rising

Joanne Chang '91, owner of the Flour Bakery + Cafe chain in Boston and Cambridge, who was profiled in Harvard Magazine in 2008 (along with a video showing how to make her extraordinary sticky buns), now has a new cookbook out. Written with Christie Matheson, it's titled Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Café. The Boston Globe recently visited Chang in her kitchen to learn some of her techniques; there's a video of her showing how to make superb chocolate cupcakes.
