ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Dessert Person" by Claire Saffitz is a baking book that seeks to empower home bakers through detailed recipes and explanations of fundamental baking principles. The recipes are modern takes on classic dishes, designed to show just how versatile and flexible baking can be. The author offers a range of recipes, rated by difficulty from very easy to very challenging, making it accessible for bakers of all levels. The book emphasizes that baking is not an exact science, and the recipes act as guides, offering descriptive indicators to signal the end of a step rather than relying on strict timing. The aim is to help home bakers understand the underlying processes of baking and build intuition, so that they can become more confident in the kitchen.
