Book Signing with Chef Bill Yosses

By

Bill Yosses’ baking mantra is treat sugar like salt. It is the grace note to a great dessert — where flavor is king. As the former White House pastry chef, hired by George W. Bush and kept on through the Obama years, Yosses worked closely with First Lady Michelle Obama to transform the White House kitchen into a low-suger, high on nutrients machine and was dubbed “the Crustmaster” by her husband, President Obama. It was there that he perfected the art of baking with fresh ingredients and a focus on flavor. Now he shares his baking techniques, favorite recipes and some stories in his new book, The Sweet Spot.

Just above the bakery is a classroom that hosts a five-month long work-study program. Lolly Rivas, the director of development at Dog Tag Inc., says the program is dedicated to educating service-disabled veterans, military spouses, caregivers and translators.
