How To Stress-Bake with Claire Saffitz

Are you sick of sourdough? Stress-baking the same chocolate chip cookies every week? Our listener Daniel understands—he's been baking like crazy during this pandemic, but is feeling tired and uninspired lately. On this episode of How To!, we bring on Claire Saffitz, pastry chef, beloved host of Bon Appétit's "Gourmet Makes" series, and author of the new cookbook Dessert Person, to hack Daniel's kitchen pantry and find new ways to use familiar ingredients. As Claire and Daniel make miso buttermilk biscuits together over Zoom, Claire not only shares tips for all the amateur chefs out there, but also opens up about how baking helped her learn to manage her anxiety and adapt to difficult situations. These days, we need the biscuits and the lessons. Check out the full recipe. If you liked this episode, check out "How To Cook One Perfect Meal." Do you have a problem that needs solving?
