Excited for you to give these a try this holiday season! Don't forget to explore the description for a discount code on Heilala Products or swing by your nearest Sprouts Farmers Market! Comment below what you're baking this Thanksgiving.

I love listening to Claire give us little cooking hints while also giving us really good techniques and cooking lessons. It’s so much more than just a recipe.
-
I absolutely adore how long these videos are. So nice to sit down with snacks and just have a nice, calm moment, like when I was a kid watching cooking shows on TV,
-
claire is like the Bob Ross of baking/cooking ; she is so peaceful to have on and just listen and learn from. def a nice part of our day 🩷

My grandma used to measure her vanilla in “sloshes”. One “slosh” from her was meant to be a teaspoon, but was easily twice that. Everyone who ate her baking loved it, and I use her method in my own kitchen. I can only imagine what a slosh of that Heilala vanilla would bring to a baked good!!

Oh boy, I'll have to try this one! Quick note: Your torch is going out because the liquid propane is choking out the flame... I have the same torch and you gotta keep it at a shallower angle to not have it die on you!

In Laos and Thailand they actually make a coconut milk custard-filled kabocha that either gets steamed or baked! It gets sliced like a cake and you get a neat cross-section with orange pumpkin and golden custard.

oh my gosh--a while ago I commented talking about my dads obsession with crème brulee and now this pops up!!! We made creme brulee together as a way for me to say thanks for a hard time he was helping me get through. Now I have another recipe, or what he calls a C.C.C (claire & cait (my name) certified) recipe. Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful recipes, we've had such good times cooking and baking together from your recipes and creativity, Claire & team! (edit: every time I go over to his house he has costco creme brulee to share for dessert, last dessert person creme brulee video I shared :) )

Welcome, Ringo! What a sweetie and so thankful that Harris rescued him. Warm wishes from your home city (and my adopted city [Brentwood]) of Saint Louis!
-
life feels fucking exhausting rn, but watching claire's videos gives me a moment of calm always <3
-
Harris is hilarious, I'd make the same face if all the bacon was gone.😂
-
So delish! Make roasted lightly sugared pumpkin seeds on the side (maybe spice 'em up with ground white pepper!!!) 😊 Use the egg whites to make meringue cookies with chopped candied ginger, chopped candied orange peel, and chopped maple walnuts and/or pecans 😊
-
Those bean pods are incredible!! 😲 I'm going to need to try and get some from Heilala. All of the ones I normally buy look anemic in comparison 😮
-
So glad to see Claire using Chinese 5 spice! It is so underrated in baking and works so well in many fall/winter desserts.
-
I made pumpkin creme brûlée for Thanksgiving 15 years ago! I think I’ll make it again this year using your recipe! Thanks :) Side note: in high school, I did what Harris mentioned with the torch. My friend had her lighter on in journalism class and I thought it would be funny to spray her hair spray 🥺I was called flame thrower the rest of the year😫 *no one was hurt, but everyone in class gasped at the size of the flame! My friend was fine, but did need therapy after 😭

Claire your skin is GLOWINGGGG you’re so beautiful
-
Have you considered live streaming your Thanksgiving meal prep chaos this year? I can only imagine how awesome your Thanksgiving tables and foods must be.

Another wonderful Claire video with delightful editing - loved the wobbles! Crème Brûlée is one of the best deserts and this looks like a fabulous version!
