The
acclaimed pastry chef’s long-awaited collection of
stunning-to-behold yet simple-to-make desserts for every
occasion. Most of us don’t have the time to make dessert,
and when we do, it is for holidays, birthdays, or a special brunch.
Here, selected from his personal repertoire of five thousand recipes,
are the eighty best desserts Bill Yosses has ever made, each tailored
to our contemporary lives.
|
The
Perfect Finish is playfully organized by occasion: “I’ll Bring Dessert”
features recipes easy to pack for potlucks; “Straight from the Oven”
includes fruit pies best served warm; and “Pick-Me-Ups”
spotlights
brownies and chocolate chip cookies that will brighten your day. |
For the adventurous, Bill groups his guaranteed-to-impress desserts
— including his signature warm vanilla cake—in a chapter
inspired from his days in one of Manhattan’s finest restaurants,
Bouley. Bill also demonstrates technique and unfamiliar ingredients and
explains how to store and transport desserts. This is a book for every
taste and every experience level, with color pictures of nearly all the
beautiful finished desserts.
