New White House pastry chef is co-author of January 31, 2007

Sweetest Job in Washington
The White House has a new executive pastry chef,
William "Bill" Yosses, whose last project was helping
to open lefty Paul Newman's new restaurant in
Westport, Conn. (Dressing Room: A Homegrown
Restaurant) where the emphasis is on locally grown and
organic foods.
As the top pastry chef, Yosses will be responsible for
dessert menus for state dinners and holiday
celebrations among other events. He got a taste of the
work recently when he served as a holiday pastry chef,
and has extensive experience at New York City
restaurants.
"Chef Yosses has impressed us from the start with his
original and delicious creations. He has a light touch
with desserts, and the enthusiasm with which he
approaches his profession makes him a real asset for
all of us in the White House," First Lady Laura said
in announcing the appointment.
Not in the White House press release: Yosses is also
co-author of the cookbook "Desserts for Dummies," an
Amazon.com review of which promised: "Before you know
it, you'll start creating desserts that you've only
dreamed of." -Mary Lu Carnevale

I overcame my fear of baking February 25, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book made me feel confident and I took on more and more recipes. They all came out wonderful. My family is trying a lot of new dishes out of Dessert for Dummies, and they love them all.
Bravo! September 21, 1999

The recipes are great, beautiful, wonderful, and most importantly-just about fool proof! Try the lemon poppy seed cake with the blueberry topping. It alone I think was worth the price of the book. The only time I messed a recipe up was when I was to impatient to wait for a pan of custard to cool. Stunning recipes for a novice cook.
Great book for those just starting!!! May 31, 1999
I went to school(BICC in Baltimore)for baking and pastry and can only wish that I had had these guys as teachers. Very informative with easy to use directions. They explain every thing very thoroughly and I gotta tell you the pie dough recipe is excellent. I am no longer afraid to attempt pie making!!! If you are into desserts and want a good book with some great recipes go for this one to start your collection. You just can't go wrong.
