Claire Saffitz

It seems like a lot of people's experience of the internet has been being radicalized into white nationalism. I mean, not us. Obvi. It seems like our experience has been cute animal videos, peer-reviewed scientific papers about Covid and finding cool people to talk to on the show serendipitously, and that's what today's episode is! A random google search "Can I make homemade Skittles?" led me to wonderful chef and YouTube culinarian Claire Saffitz! Claire is a former contributing editor to Bon Appetit and was the star of their online series Gourmet Makes. Since leaving them, Claire has started her own YouTube Channel and written books like Dessert Person and What's For Dessert, and on today's ep, we get THERAPEUTIC! We talk about how becoming a parent has brought up control issues Claire thought she had already dealt with, her favorite fictional therapist, problems with perfectionism, how she met her husband and SO MUCH MORE!
