Claire Saffitz- a culinary goddess in her own right – is famous for Bon Appétit’s “Gourmet Makes” series where she takes on common packaged food and recreates the with her own gourmet twist. Some endeavors are more successful than others, but no matter the challenge, Claire’s not afraid to show her horror, vulnerability, and triumphs. While it’s hard to track down the first time someone said they would “die for Claire from the B.A. Test Kitchen,” it’s not hard to track down tee shirts and bumper stickers to match the iconic phrase.
