Dessert Person Dinners! Occasionally we'll make a dinner here and there on the channel.... Let us know what dinner recipes you'd like to see for when that happens.

[@ElizabethGonzalez-tj8gl]

the crispy chickpea pantry pasta you made in the past is one of my favorite ways to make pasta now. is there more pastas you make similar to that? i’d love to see them!!

[@persondessert9366]

college dorm-friendly dinners!

[@London1869]

How about another childhood favorite?

[@buzzinginyourears6770]

Roasted chicken or chicken soup please

[@laurenschenck5355]

Childhoods favorites 🥰

[@connormack7153]

this may be odd but i think a cool video idea would be to talk about how often you food shop for produce and how you store it because something i struggle with is planning meals that have fresh ingredients and timing when to cook them/when the produce is still good. i hope that makes sense but i figured since you use a lot of fresh ingredients it would be interesting to hear your approach!

[@bluedrummajor2876]

This is not an odd idea as most of us are right there with you, Connor.

[@joaoducci]

I second this sooo hard. I feel like most of the produce I buy goes bad so fast :(

[@RegstarRogstar]

Claire is a pro cook making recipes and books and has a cooking show i dont think she manages her produce the same way a regular person would, maybe look out for home cook content creator instead?

[@kateycat968]

Yes please!!

[@NJHater]

Yes!!!! This please!!

[@_sofie]

“A woman cannot live on dessert alone” is such a layered and perfect quote.

[@dimoolia]

"Verdict: MMM" is my favorite running gag in the show. Even my fiancee knows about it, even though she hasn't seen one episode.

[@natalyamartirosyan]

absolutely! i love these videos in general but i wait for the MMM with extraordinary excitement.

[@ilariacaporali677]

As a person from Tuscany that has been eating ribollita since I was born, I want to highlight the fact that it is a “piatto dei poveri” that means a dish for poor people, made with whatever you already have at home. My granny likes to keep it vegan, since cheese was expensive in the past, after wwII. I hope whoever wants to replicate the idea keeps that in mind: don’t buy expensive vegetables and ingredients in order to make it, just use whatever is sitting in you fridge and enjoy the process! 🥬🧅🥔🥖

[@weyheyjackie]

Thank you !!!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

That's the beauty of soup. It's whatever you need at a given moment!

[@amoscreates]

Leftover soups and stews are truly my favourite, so knowing that this is one of those dishes i'm so excited to add it to my cooking catalogue!

[@karlalovato1715]

I absolutely love that! It sounds like a lovely approach to life, something you can apply to other aspects of life not just this tasty dish💕

[@ABACUStoPC]

that's interesting to hear! thanks for sharing your experience

[@future.cadaver]

The garlic clove faces are killing me 😆As for ideas, I want to see Claire grill something, anything.

[@johnnytsunami420]

I think it would be cool to use this series to give dinner ideas to pair with desserts from the book. That way we can keep the Dessert Person theme and still give variety.

[@rggiii5089]

Now we have an answer from last episode on what else to make with leftover sourdough aside from croutons. 😂

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

It's all connected.

[@ihateberwald]

The bread is always my favorite part of this dish too. Crispy-gone-soggy is such an underrated texture

[@renklav4322]

"A woman cannot live on dessert alone." I LOVE THIS QUOTE LMAO

[@PruneauYT]

I choose to take it as a challenge! JUST WATCH ME.

[@juliabishop1408]

I need that on a shirt now!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Not with that attitude you can't.

[@Debba521]

Actually paused the video to write about how much enjoy the funny little details in your videos. Always meant to do it and would forget by the end of the video. Laughed at the slight change in the theme song, but really 😂 when I saw the little faces/expressions on the garlic cloves as you were smacking them with the knife. Enjoyed the chicken cam too. These little things, the kitties making an appearance, help to make your videos unique and truly enjoyable. Thanks 👍

[@liaaca]

The faces on the garlic cloves cracked me up. Love those touches.

[@tati.l.]

new theme song - HELLO?? Amazing as always, Mike!

[@bflogal18]

The garlic expressions made my day!🧄

[@jessicaspencer4102]

That fluffy white chicken gives me the giggles everytime 🧡 so cute 😍

[@kathyearly5220]

We discovered your videos during COVID times (or should I say, 2021?!) and are so happy to have found you. I seriously cannot get over how much I LOVE this stew! Checks all my boxes - vegetarian, high in fiber, nutritious, and delicious. Thank you, Claire, for sharing your genius with us outside of desserts. I look forward to learning more from you (I'm still working on the sourdough skills - my pre-shaping and shaping needs more practice!)

[@cierrablue]

Now this is a series I can really get behind. I'm a crap baker but I gots to have dinnahhhhh.

[@laurajane10able]

The amount of joy I get from the faces on things…….

[@erincoughlin4187]

I was today years old when I realized you can put Parmesan rinds in soup. I’m am *so* excited right now.

[@kgrindon]

Try adding them to creamy tomato soup! Total game changer in terms of depth of flavor.

[@kurtjohnson3917]

Love this dish, what a hearty supper. The added oil helps to replace a bit of the experience of a meat broth. A couple of tips for issues Claire brought up. When chopping/dicing garlic, adding salt will help it from sticking to your knife. And for the fennel, chopping it with some oil will help prevent it from flying all over your kitchen.

[@joannefowler391]

I would love to see you make shakshuka.

[@wakeupitskelsey]

Love this series already! Can't wait to see more dinners and savory food

[@LTSmash414]

Love this type of food and love Claire's savory food. So happy about this series

[@sofias.5441]

This looks so delicious! I love seeing more savory recipes.

[@itamarolmert3549]

PLEASE keep doing these... This is amazing!

[@rumbleinthekitchen_Amy]

I'm going to love this series!

[@YaelEvenyaelsyummies]

This was simply fantastic! I look forward to your videos every week! The Ribolitta looks absolutely amazing!Thanks!

[@musicismylove92]

Dinner really is just the palette cleanser before dessert 🍰 always glad to see more cooking from Claire!

[@shvat26]

@ClaireSaffitz - by accident or design, your first choice for dinner uses a baked good. You could do a whole series of savory dinner recipes using leftover bread or bread dough. Panzanilla. Savory French toast. Pizza. Breakfast casserole from different countries or cuisines. Bread crumbs and ways to use them. Croutons and dishes that use them. Lasagna with slices of stale bread instead of pasta. Soup with large crouton top. Savory bread pudding. And more that we don't commonly see or use.

[@NYsam15]

Just made this for dinner! It was divine. It’s absolutely worth it to use dried beans and make bean stock. I added some crumbled Italian sausage to the soup. Served it with a shaved fennel, apple, and lettuce salad. Wonderful. Thank you Claire!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I feel like I'm watching Claire from a parallel universe. She's the Dinner Person.

[@allistar34]

so excited for this series! i miss you doing savory recipes!

[@oliviamansour829]

my mouth is watering watching Claire put together this dish!

[@tehjaetsukada1477]

And a different theme song??! We LOVE !

[@gwenhanson5604]

enjoy this, would like a summer dinner, non dessert breakfest. enjoy your cooking. thanks

[@pegparrish3512]

An absolute favorite of mine, just not during the heat wave right now. Will definitely make it next week when the rains come! I am glad you mentioned how much the garlic flavor came through after cooking because I felt sorry for the little cuties as they were being smashed but it was all for a good cause. I hope you are up at the cabin in the woods right now, enjoying the clean air and watching your chickens, they are adorable! 😘

[@jirachytft]

The new intro is so cute! Really looking forward to this series 🥰

[@persondessert9366]

have never heard of this sooo im very excited about this new video 🥰

[@RMoore2021]

Great video! I enjoyed the alt of dinner to dessert. I cannot wait to see more!

[@danbev8542]

Wonderful video & recipe! I’m chuckling over the garlic faces! I love your teaching style. I love adding Parmesan rind to my soups. After long cooking, they soften enough for me to dice them up & put back into the stew.

[@Bjb993]

Can't wait for more Dessert Person Dinners !

[@leah-jr5gc]

I feel like I learn so much from watching your videos because you explain why you are doing stuff at every stage and I love it

[@ma3ve]

Oooh ribollita is absolutely amazing

[@jonnyvanderhorst]

Ribollita is arguably the BEST soup.

[@gamergorleren1220]

Made this the other day and it was fantastic! Thanks for the wonderful video - love this mini series :)

[@jennasmith8062]

this video feels like a warm hug ❤️🥺

[@julieblair7472]

Heavily browned mire poix is the best. So much of my cooking starts out with that. When you dont have any herbs to work with it does a lot of the work.

[@cpp8227]

Love that you've done this dinner video! I know your focus is on desserts and that's great but for those of us who lack a sweet tooth, this was wonderful! Have missed you from your Bon Appetit days.

[@alainadacosta1222]

Yum, I love cozy and hearty meals. When cooking, I find chopping relaxing so I especially liked the chopping part of the video. Soup/stew and bread is a classic combo, I didn't know there was a dish that puts them together like this. As a vegetarian, I appreciate you keeping it veggie :). Also loved the adorable faces on the garlic. More cooking videos would be great

[@mariavillasana8389]

love this new mini series 😍

[@madeleinelork2938]

Yayyy more cooking videos would be amazing!

[@peaceloveandeva]

I made your miso buttermilk biscuits the other day! Love them and have it with left over sausage and fried egg for dinner….delish!

[@thatonetwinkle5042]

Great energy!

[@wit6665]

The new intro song is very Renaissance Faire in my mind I like it.

[@haileywatson5822]

I love dessert person dinners!❤️‍🔥

[@SolZibanitu]

Love this addition to dessert person! I'd love to see some meals you like to cook in the hot summer months :)

[@trynottoshine]

Im really happy with this series! I don't really bake at all (except bread) but still watch Claire's videos because I just really enjoy em, but now I can finally make stuff she puts on here more often! Also she mentioned how it's regular cooking is intuitive, I love that because back in her Gourmet makes days, that's what I enjoyed the most; when she would problem solve and create this brilliant final products!

[@71suns]

Many thanks for sharing this recipe. My mouth is watering watching you prepare this! Looking forward to your new series. Thank you again.

[@rebeccabiddix6319]

Yum. I cannot wait to make this!

[@chelseaadams995]

Definitely going to make this one! Coming into winter here in Melbourne Australia, will be perfect cosy soup for dinner time! Thanks Claire 😊

[@stain12450]

So happy you are adding savoury cooking to this channel

[@preciadocr1ss]

Thanks , I learn something today!

[@Happy_Shopper]

Really like the idea of more dinner stuff! I'm going to have to make a ribollita now

[@hannahmaeponce9259]

I am so excited for this new mini-series! And that new intro is amazing 🤍

[@Talmiior]

I love the new intro music! It gives such a chill feel

[@JupiterJazzy17]

This is such an amazing recipe. I was inspired to make this for dinner and it was a winner. Looking forward to more Dinner Person 😉💚

[@JTADesigns]

this is the first meal i ever made my boyfriend one of my all time favorites!!

[@NRam-ke6cs]

I stan a QUEEN

[@Issor_Rossi]

Loving the new song!

[@paulswindlehurst6334]

This looks delicious! I've made something similar with kale. I strip them and saute the stems with the aromatics. Then add the leaves later. It works out great. Love your content, Claire.

[@Tetragramz]

I appreciate your commitment to quality.

[@Bjb993]

that was the bite !

[@miguelalonsogarcia2475]

Love you doing some Mediterranean dishes!!

[@Issor_Rossi]

Dinner with Claire sounds good

[@cynhanrahan4012]

The stew looks delicious. I'm saving this, my doctor will thank you. I also adore garlic rubbed toast. I make a very finely chopped kalamata olive/salt/olive oil paste and eat it on the garliced toast. Yummy snack.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Dinner with Clarie sounds awesome 😀

[@splugen]

I just love how the highest praise a dish can get is a very quick, very succinct "mmm"

[@jonathoncunningham]

This looks so good 🤤

[@chacallachaise]

Thanks you! Even though it was 88° (5% humidity) today, i made it for dinner tonight.

[@waheebolamilekan3486]

I love this video

[@ElizabethGonzalez-tj8gl]

unlocked a new theme song ✅ i love this idea for a new mini-series!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

The new theme song is a brilliant detail. It's just different enough with the same vibe.

[@ElizabethGonzalez-tj8gl]

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 agreed!!

[@kayleeanderson480]

the little smashed garlic faces are WONDERFUL. I think we need more of them.

[@EatCarbs]

Nice! Looked good. Thanks for the video

[@emiliamarsx]

super yummy and comforting! and feels good to eat, thank you Claire

[@Kebinwmiles]

Dessert Person Dinners! LETS GOOOO!!!

[@loleezi]

I made this a few nights ago and we are still eating it. My husband says it’s the best thing he’s had this year(!) I wish I had the written up recipe-I watched this like 100 times trying to make sure I wasn’t skipping anything!

[@davidcunningham6525]

The ingredients are listed under the video. Not really a full recipe, but it does help. I copied and pasted them, and added a few notes and link to the video. and put it in my recipe folder.

[@agyakubemsenbenson9796]

Incredible

[@ekg793]

whaaaat??!?! dinners? I'm SO in

[@jackp692]

It’s been rainy & chilly all week long, I think we’ll make this tonight!

[@chloelemenager9603]

Good soup... no seriously, one of the better recipes I've made in a while!

[@finjiii]

Yaay! I love your videos, but since I am vegan I don´t always end up making the recipes. But this one I made the day after watching it and WOW! My boyfriend now calls this his favorite soup I ever made for him and I can´t wait to make it all the time for the cold norwegian winter! Thank you Claire!!

[@PeaceRose96]

YES DINNERS ARE BACKKKK

[@civilizeddiva]

Yes! Wait, let me grab a cup of tea😀

[@JennNahrstadt]

yum yum yum!!! cannellinis changed my view on kidney beans, and now i enjoy them! this looks just fantastic.

[@jessicachukwudum]

Amazing 😍

[@Enmanuelsella]

Hope there's more vids like these with easy but delicious dishes

[@lahnaflore2621]
