How To Make MERINGUE COOKIES At Home | Dessert People
After months of isolation, Claire is overjoyed to welcome kindred spirit dessert people -- friends, colleagues, fellow pastry chefs -- into her kitchen to bake something together. First up in this series we’re calling (what else) Dessert People? Claire's good friend and food stylist (maybe you've seen her work in Dessert Person?) Sue Li. Watch Sue and Claire attempt to make swirled meringue cookies, mostly fail, and then drown their sorrows in a comforting and delicious meatball recipe that Sue has loved since childhood. It's fun, a tad crazed, and delightful.

Dessert People! So excited for our first guest, Sue Li! Make sure you stick around to the end to catch a bonus episode featuring a delicious meatball recipe that Sue has loved since childhood. See you next week!

sue may be panicking a bit but she still has this very pleasant, soothing vibe and i would love to see her again 💙

[snowpiercer]

This is what happens when the two smart kids are together for a group project.

[reillyjt]

Whether it was intentional or not, I love this format for having a guest. Make one dessert recipe of your choosing and then one of theirs. It was nice to see Claire learn a recipe that Sue loves and is the expert of. Also Sue is just a gem.

[ElizabethGonzalez-tjgl]

this was the most “delightfully insane” way to start my morning. Sue Li was the perfect first, in-person guest on this channel! can’t wait to see who all the other dessert people will be!!

[rydrew]

_This is how you make meringue cookies_
*drum beat starts*
THE NOSTALGIA I DID NOT SEE COMING OMG

[fluffycritter]

In this episode: two extremely competent chefs have impostor syndrome at each other

[LivingMyLife]

I absolutely loved how Claire and Sue did NOT want to bake but wanted to make meatballs instead, along with Vince’s response “It’s called Dessert People…” lmao

*one of the funniest episodes, we need more of Claire and Sue together

[eppicNESSSS]

Omg Sue is a character!! There’s something insanely endearing about someones who’s so obviously talented & capable, but still so hilariously anxious. Extremely relatable 🖤

[tati.l.]

OMG, the new opening song. 🥺You guys are pulling all the stops and I love it so much.

[Trickster]

Claire and Sue playing hot potato "you do it" "no *you* do it" is honestly so wholesome

[graceho]

“Clair Fact: Acceptance is the first step to healing” IM DYING

[duchoang]

Prime example of how friends bring out the inner “I have only one brain cell” inside of each other

[SaraLim]

In case anyone hasn't seen it - Sue has a NYT caramelized onion galette video where she shouts out Claire. That recipe is also fucking delicious.

[AEP]

Sue Li was an absolute delight. Her low key "I'm stressed" was 100% relatable. And I want to make that meatball recipe!

[snowpiercer]

Sue’s long breaths are giving me life.

Claire: Why don’t I let Sue make it and I...
Sue: *sharp inhale*, ughhh. Sure.

[endtroducing]

Key point about the Pearl Meatballs: Sue is using glutinous rice (also known as sweet rice) for the pork meatballs. It's very different than regular rice - it gives that sticky plump quality in the end :)

[XtraBurntToast]

Dear Claire, we know this channel is called dessert person, but it's also cool if you make other things you enjoy not in the book. FYI It was nice change of pace to just make random meatballs lol.

[xxdeborahh]

I love the "Gourmet Makes" style at the end! It gives me nostalgia and it works really well with these more "chaotic" episodes (which I also love).
