Claire Saffitz's Dessert Person is a comprehensive baking book featuring over 100 recipes with detailed guidance for home bakers of all skill levels. Through clear instructions, troubleshooting tips, and Saffitz's approachable style, the book demystifies everything from simple cookies to elaborate layer cakes. More than a recipe collection, it becomes a baking education that builds confidence and encourages experimentation.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Saffitz treats home bakers like intelligent adults who want to understand why techniques work, not just follow instructions blindly. This book reminds us that baking is both science and art, and that confidence comes from understanding, not just repetition.
