Aunt Melissa’s Granola w/ Zoë François

The Flaky Biscuit Podcast

Host Bryan Ford is joined by award winning author and pastry chef Zoë François. Zoë is the author of Zoë Bakes Cakes, co-author of the best-selling Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day series and is working on her 10th cookbook, Zoë Bakes Cookies. She is the host of Zoë Bakes on the Magnolia Network, and her work has been featured in many publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Better Homes & Gardens and more. Less known about Zoë is that she grew up in communes and cults, which is where today’s recipe comes from— Aunt Melissa’s granola.
