We've only just met, but I'm confident Claire Saffitz and I will be friends 

Claire shares the challenges of baking and life in general. She's a star in a new era of food writers who are experts in their knowledge, passionate about their craft, rigorous about their work.

Claire majored in history and literature at Harvard, then one day, almost by accident, she became the host of her own cooking show.

She has written two cookbooks, Dessert Person and What's For Dessert, both New York Times bestsellers.

I've come to New York to meet Claire - we have a lot to discuss.

This episode of Ruthie's Table 4 is made in partnership with Moncler.
