Gordon Hamersley – Tips from a Top Pastry Chef

If shows like Top Chef or Next Iron Chef are to teach us anything, it’s that even the most accomplished chef may still be stymied when it comes to desserts. To help him puzzle through the sweeter side of the menu, chef-owner and cookbook author Gordon Hamersley of Hamersley’s Bistro turns to fellow Bostonian and baker extraordinaire, Joanne Chang, the mastermind behind not one but three locations of Flour Bakery & Café. Luckily, she’s sharing some of her signature moves in her just-released cookbook, Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Café. Pick up a copy and put it under the tree for the budding baker in your life.
