It took a while for YouTube’s favorite baker, Claire Saffitz, to figure out her calling. Claire joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her early days as a culinary student in Paris, her first and only restaurant job, and how food media became her thing. Claire also shares a few tidbits about her upcoming cookbook; what she learned in the process of writing her debut cookbook, the bestselling Dessert Person; and why she considers Dorie Greenspan and Claudia Fleming her mentors.
