You may recognize her from Bon Appetit or her many features on NY Times Cooking and Vice, but to me, Claire Saffitz is recognized as my baking hero, or baking mom – if you will. Gone are the days of looking up dessert recipes on AllRecipes (no hate if you do). Dessert Person has challenged me to use ingredients that I would’ve never previously baked with, like tumeric and cardamom, while also teaching me baking techniques so that I now know why my meringue doesn’t get fluffy. Better yet, Queen Claire now has her own YouTube cooking channel where you can view a live demo of some of her recipes (for those visual learners). -Cat, Head of People at The Brew
