"There are no 'just cooks' out there, only bakers who haven't yet been converted. I am a dessert person, and we are all dessert people." - Claire Saffitz
Claire Saffitz is a baking hero for a new generation. In Dessert Person, fans will find Claire's signature spin on sweet and savoury recipes like Babkallah (a babka-Challah mashup), Apple and Concord Grape Crumble Pie, Strawberry-Cornmeal Layer Cake, Crispy Mushroom Galette, and Malted Forever Brownies.
She outlines the problems and solutions for each recipe – like what to do if your pie dough for Sour Cherry Pie cracks (patch it with dough or a quiche flour paste!) – as well as practical do's and don'ts, skill level, prep and bake time, step-by-step photography, and foundational know-how.
With her trademark warmth and superpower ability to explain anything baking related, Claire is ready to make everyone a dessert person.
