St. Louis On The Air

At La Pâtisserie Chouquette in south St. Louis, Juneteenth is a time for celebration and stories. Simone Faure, pastry designer and co-owner of the James Beard-nominated bakery, shares the inspiration behind the bakery’s Juneteenth menu this year, which includes items with Gullah Geechee influences and backstories that involve genealogical research and an international recipe exchange.
