Spagos pastry chef to the stars and author of the James
Beard Award-winning SECRETS OF BAKING shares the recipes
that propelled her to the top of her profession. Night after
night at Spago in Beverly Hills, Sherry Yard dazzles the
powerful, rich, and famous with incredible desserts. Her
marvelous confections have won over patrons from Madonna to
Frank Sinatra. Now the countrys premier pastry chef reveals
the recipes that have made her a star in her own right and
won her two coveted James Beard Awards. Desserts by the Yard
begins with inspirations from Yards childhood, such as My
Favorite White Birthday Cake with Chocolate and Butter Fudge
Frosting, and culminates in the spectacular creations she
makes every year for the Academy Awards. Included here are
some of Yards most famous recipes: the slinky crème brûlée
she perfected when she worked at New Yorks Rainbow Room, the
coffeecake that made Campton Place Hotel San Franciscos most
popular breakfast spot, and the souffléed crème fraîche
pancakes with strawberry sauce she learned in Vienna. Dont
miss the chocolate caramel tart that Hugh Grant loves,
former President Clintons favorite oatmeal raisin cookies,
or the treat that made actress Suzanne Pleshette exclaim,
Bitch! Youre gonna make me fat! Desserts dont get easier
than Yards No-Bake Cheesecake, more decadent than Chocolate
Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Gelato, or more
holiday-perfect than Triple Silken Pumpkin Pie. In sidebars
to each recipe, Yard shares tricks and techniques along with
hilarious anecdotes that show her pluck, determination, and
generosity.
