In her new book “What’s for Dessert,” chef and food writer Claire Saffitz shares more than 100 simple recipes while keeping in mind three things: time, space and money.

In the book, Saffitz writes, “Asking ‘what’s for dessert?’ is more than a nightly routine, it’s a personal exercise. It prompts me to imagine all the ways I can bestow myself and those around me with edible pleasures and comforts. Conceiving an answer and bringing it to life are acts of self-care and care for others.”

She joined the “Mornings on 1” team Wednesday to share more about what inspired her to write the book, as well as to taste test Pat Kiernan’s own baking.
