In this limited series, Chef Yosses will walk you through the presidential families' favorite recipes...while spilling all the most glorious presidential tea. In our fourth episode, Bill shows us how to make Michelle Obama's favorite Red Velvet Cake—a staple of Obama family birthdays.

I love what they said! “Theres no healthy dessert but there’s a healthy lifestyle with dessert”

[robitussinbrohan]

I love how this man cooked/baked for two opposing presidents. He doesn’t seem bias to one or the other. I have absolute respect for this guy.

Seriously considering a presidential run for the sole purpose of strong-arming this man back into the White House and forcing him to prepare all desserts. Every single one that exists. I haven't really figured out my platform yet, but it probably involves a lot of cake and ponies.

It should be noted that the president pays out of pocket for all personal food for him and his family. Only state functions come out of the taxpayers pocket.

You can tell he really loves them and truly enjoyed working there while they were there. It’s so sweet. Literally 😊

[erikapayne]

I worked for CPS and there were very very very healthy foods served, this was probably the healthiest foods the children ate during the day. The children loved all the fruits and vegetables Thank you First Lady 👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾

[vrishankpandey]

The president & first lady sure had some good taste in foods, I also loved how they treated the workers like there own family, that probably motivated them to make such great food, respect to them!

[emilychen]

Can we please have more of this series!!

[seekittycat]

I love how this food is so simple and so classic. Red velvet and Apple pie. So comfy and something you can make at home. Desserts take love and is a special treat but it doesn't have to be expensive or overly complicated.

[thebatmary]

He’s like the Mr. Rogers of pastry. I love him.

[nisviv]

I love with how much admiration he talks about both the Presidents and their family.

[kennedystarr]

Imagine having your own PASTRY chef?! My dream. Forget the other foods.. sweets please!

[cyberqueen]

I like that way of thinking. A healthy lifestyle that does include dessert. Moderation is key. If you're gonna have dessert, then make it a high quality one where you can enjoy every bite. Oh, that red velvet cake looks so tempting, it's almost evil. And dessert is something I'm the best at in my family.

[julianosvonskingrad]

I, a nutrition scientist, agree with Michelle. It is okay to eat a classical dessert. Cake with butter and sugar and cream. But eat it less frequent. And do not eat half of the cake. He is right, when he says, "there is no healthy dessert, but there is a healthy lifestyle that includes dessert".

[DylanHopo]

Is this the guy that Barack Obama said "he must put crack in his pies" because he used to be so addicted to them? lol I want that recipe!

[naldotoeat]

I love that he said: "I believe there's a healthy lifestyle that includes dessert." I agree wholeheartedly! Moderation in all things.

[kaylawashington]

i absolutely adore him..more of Bill please its what the people want!!

[vincentprice]

The psychological boost of eating desserts is worth it, as long as you have a healthy lifestyle.

[stevewebber]

I think this guy needs his own you tube channel
