In Dessert Person, fans will find Claire’s signature spin on sweet and savory recipes like Babkallah (a babka-Challah mashup), Apple and Concord Grape Crumble Pie, Strawberry-Cornmeal Layer Cake, Crispy Mushroom Galette, and Malted Forever Brownies.
But to Claire, being a self-described “dessert person” is also an attitude; it’s about embracing cooking and eating as fundamental sources of pleasure. This book empowers reluctant home bakers to bake with more confidence and approach food with greater joy, because anyone can be a dessert person — even people who think they’re not.

“I’m not a dessert person.” All (outlandish) claims that food editor, writer, YouTube personality, and baker extraordinaire Claire Saffitz has heard, and adamantly argues in her just-released cookbook, Dessert Person. Baking may be more exacting and less forgiving than cooking, but it should not be seen as less creative, according to Saffitz.
