White House names Yosses exec pastry chef

WASHINGTON Laura Bush has named Bill Yosses as the White House’s new executive pastry chef, with responsibility for designing and executing the desert menus of events hosted by the President and his wife.

"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," Laura Bush said.

Yosses was the pastry chef at Bouley Bakery in New York City before cooking at Citarella, first as executive pastry chef and then as executive chef. Most recently he was working on the menu at the Westport Playhouse in Westport, Conn. He also owns Boi, a Vietnamese restaurant in Manhattan on E. 44th.
