ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An honors graduate of Harvard College with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Economics, Joanne left a career as a management consultant to enter the world of professional cooking. After working at Biba, Bentonwood Bakery in Newton, and Rialto restaurant in Cambridge, Joanne moved to New York City in 1997 to work in the cake department of the critically acclaimed Payard Patisserie and Bistro. Returning to Boston a year later, she brought her French and American training to Mistral where she was the Pastry Chef until summer of 2000.
In 2000, she opened Flour, a bakery and café, in Boston's South End. Flour features breakfast pastries, breads, cakes, cookies, and tarts as well as sandwiches, soups, and salads. In 2007 she opened a second branch of Flour in the Fort Point Channel area. She and her husband Christopher Myers opened Myers + Chang in the South End neighborhood in the fall of 2007. In June of 2010 she opened a third branch of Flour in Central Square in Cambridge.
An avid runner, she has competed in every Boston Marathon from 1991 - 2006. She hopes to follow up Flour, her first book, with a Chinese/Asian cookbook featuring the top dishes at Myers+Chang.
