Bill Yosses Hits the Sweet Spot with Dessert Recipes

maple apple tarte tatin recipe, Photo Copyright © Evan SungYou don’t need cup after cup of granulated sugar to make your desserts shine. Former White House pastry chef Bill Yosses shares recipes from his new baking cookbook, The Sweet Spot: Dialing Back Sugar and Amping Up Flavor. We’ve got Bill’s Maple Apple Tarte Tatin, Almond Cake with Elderflower Cream, and a Poached Whole Pineapple (yes, it’s a centerpiece dessert!) Plus, Faith and the gang share ideas for light appetizers and a big, bold, beautiful red wine from France—Gigondas—for the holidays. If you’ve ever wondered how to walk in the door with a gift wine, we’ve got ideas, and our wine experts tell you how to store wine for up to two years (give or take) if you don’t have a dedicated wine fridge. You might be surprised by their suggestions.
