Claire Saffitz's Pistachio Pinwheel Cookies | NYT Cooking

[@diana.h-e]

I would die for Claire Saffitz from her home kitchen

[@tiacho2893]

I would kill for a really good oven./range I think the red knobs point to a "pro-sumer" model that is probably not in my budget.

Claire, Gaby and Carla had their own KZbin channels. Check them out!!

[@DESTINASITV]

So glad to see Claire still cooking and sharing recipes on KZbin

I hope since then you found her channel.

New York Times POACHED Bon Appetit

[@tiacho2893]

They also hired some of BuzzFeed's NYC production crew.

[@Paulxl]

@@tiacho2893 I hope this channel takes off. They're making a lot of good choices with this content.

[@bekind3931]

I don’t know about poached. I think they just provided a welcome mat.

[@biggdaddy202003]

She was a contributor meaning she can create content for whomever. No poaching just a place to post her content as she has a following.

[@tiacho2893]

IIRC, she went freelance while writing her book and Claire has been working on it for a couple years at least. That's why you didn't see her in the background of BA's videos like everyone else. She would only come back for specific videos like Gourmet Makes and I remember one video where she mentioned being out of the test kitchen for weeks before shooting "day 3".

[@jgilpinj]

Competent, prepared, to the point. NYT is getting better at this, though still some sound issues. Adding Claire's narration where she's doing but not talking, that works where they did it here.

[@llaughridge]

It's like the editor selected the wrong audio track before exporting... she was wearing a lav mic but the poor audio here is clearly from the in-camera mic.

[@NYTCooking]

Glad you liked the video! And yes, Claire's lav mic was unfortunately not cooperating that day - the joys of remote shooting! 😅

[@Paulxl]

[@ralphibrahim9325]

Bold of Claire to declare that she doesn’t do chocolate work when we’ve all seen her suffer with the abomination that is tempered chocolate on Gourmet Makes

[@tiacho2893]

I think every home cook has a couple tools that they bought with really good intentions like mini tart pans and a manual cherry/olive pitter.

[@Paulxl]

That's the reason she doesn't make any chocolate work. It's a pain in the ass for her.

[@PRDreams]

She hates working with chocolate, specially tempering it.

[@mirandazanca5312]

I came straight to the comments when she said that

[@VotteyDaily]

Hi

[@tosht2515]

If you don't know by now Claire has a new channel. Just one recipe demonstration so far but hopefully she'll start cranking them out weekly.

[@garrettpreszler7857]

Either in that video, or one of the other preview videos on her channel, it says it'll be weekly :)

[@zrobeast]

I think she said videos will be uploaded every Thursday, which I'm okay with (especially since the comment sections for bon appetite's new videos are more toxic than a nuclear waste dump unless they have some of the people like Brad who stayed behind).

[@garrettpreszler7857]

@@zrobeast I think it was Thursday as well. Thursday mornings. And yeah, the comments section has been tough. And it’s not the fault of any of the chefs doing the videos either, which is the shitty thing. They’ve had some great new people, and the comments just shit on everything.

[@J_Kwan]

Yeah KZbin’s been recommending it hardcore xD

[@Maria-kj9yv]

Please check out Carla and Gaby’s channel too

[@OMGIGILY]

i forgot how WWEEELLLL claire explains a recipe. perfectly. absolutely perfectly. simple, easy, i love seeing and hearing her shes so intelligent and well spoken. and cool.

[@jamesonnmusic]

I don't think I've ever clicked on a video faster in my life! I've missed watching Claire, so happy to see her on a different channel.

[@Paulxl]

She has her own. You should check it out. She is making recipes from her cookbook.

[@GustavoSlaaash]

Both Claire and her kitchen give off such a conforting vibe. You know when you had just an awful day, bad things happening, and you need a place to go to and spend a few minutes and get a hug? That's the place

[@iamunknownperiod3355]

The fact that they probably filmed this when Claire's channel still had less than 10k subs but now it has surpassed this channel's sub count with just one video...

[@gillianfeeney2047]

"This is a tool for chocolate work....um,, I don't know why I bought it., I don't really do chocolate work." Claire really did have war flashbacks to tempering chocolate for a second

[@rabideasterbunnies]

I’ve already made these and yet I’m still watching this just to get some Claire content

[@annabella7285]

May I ask if they are soft or crunchy cookies? They are beautiful and I love pistachios. Thank you.

Does anybody else wanna click on bon appetit videos when you see Claire but don't and it's so hard

[@irenel1119]

I've been boycotting BA (and CN) completely since Sohla exposed their racism and sexism, even their website which has some good general cooking info. BA videos got me through the first phase of lockdown and I'm sad that all those test kitchen friends won't be together in the same way again...on top of all the racism/sexism. I love how those who left are flourishing in new places!!

[@JCasR3]

@@irenel1119 they hired on all new POC and something about that doesn’t sit well with me. The oddest thing to me is that the few that stayed don’t surprise me. Not that they’re bad people, just I’m not shocked and I’m a little disappointed.

[@EchoBravo370]

@@JCasR3 If you look at the new BA videos you will find out that people who stayed like Brad and Andy have been integral in helping to assemble the new team - so they have been part of the solution. So good on them. I think people like Claire, Molly and Carla will be disappointed they bailed so quick.

[@rafaelmanzo9497]

@@EchoBravo370 . are you joking? Zero regrets. Sohla exposed how Chris was actually problematic. I heard about Brad too. As for Andy... IDK... I think, like the other two, he chose to keep his position & money; unlike our queens Carla, Claire, Molly, who left in solidarity with Sohla, Rick, Gaby, & Priya! +the many POC staff like Jesse & Ryan

[@iwillsinganewsong]

I made these and they are delicious! My grocery order came with roasted salted pistachios with the shell ON not the ones I ordered I’d like Claire used so had to removes shells to proceed with the recipe. The dough came together very easily. Used vanilla extract instead of almond. Her tip of folding the parchment paper up around the edges worked great to have an even, smooth almond dough slab. My cookies started browning too quickly so had to turn the oven down a bit. Crunchy with light pistachio flavor - Demerara sugar adds nice added sweet crunch. 💚

Just made the pinwheels with Claire's video help. Unfortunately forgot to press the roll into the Demerara sugar, but they're still very good. I have to admit that we were worried that the pistachios wouldn't be green enough, so used a teeny drop of green food coloring. They turned out really pretty. Thanks Claire, I really missed seeing you also. We should all have her personality.

Quick tip? Take the pistachios (peanuts, any nut with a skin that needs to be removed), toss them onto a kitchen hand towel, fold over and rub for a minute or so. Remove the nuts, shake the towel over the sink or off the back deck, and drop it in the washing machine.
