Clayton alum, Claire Saffitz - Class of 2005 - was recently featured in TASTE Magazine and is about to release a cookbook called 'Dessert Person.' 

She is a breakout video star of the home cooking internet and has risen from Bon Appétit Test Kitchen worker bee to the magazine's senior food editor to the host of "Gourmet Makes," the insanely popular series on said magazine's YouTube channel that re-creates well-known grocery store items like Cadbury Creme Eggs, Cheetos, and Twizzlers in a home kitchen.

Saffitz was also featured in Gazelle Magazine with a special section on baking for the holiday. She will attend the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival for a bake-along on Nov. 6
