About
More than 100 recipes for sweet treats from New York Times bestselling author and Food Network star Molly Yeh's cozy kitchen on a sugar beet (and wheat!) farm, to be shared in potlucks, set on the counter for family snacking, or scarfed down in one sitting.
Molly Yeh's favorite childhood memories are of being in the kitchen with her family, dipping into a tub of sugar to make rugelach, homemade Oreos, and more, so it's only fitting she married into a family who farm sugar beets. She and her husband, Nick, live and work on the Hagen Farm in East Grand Forks, MN, on the North Dakota border, which has been in operation since the 1870s, and farming sugar beets since the 1930s. In the decade plus since she moved to the farm, Molly has spent her time completely immersed in the world of sugar, both during her work hours, first as a baker and now as a recipe developer, bakery owner, and Food Network personality, and in her home life, running her business and family against the backdrop of the seasonal needs of a thriving farm.
Molly speaks fluent sugar, so recipes for sweets come naturally-as does her drive to perfect them in flavor, texture, and ease of making. The recipes include a mix of church cookbook–inspired gems, from-scratch versions of nostalgic sweets, and new concoctions with flavors drawn from her Asian and Jewish backgrounds as well as beloved Midwestern traditions she's adopted from her husband's family and the local community.
Sweet Farm! features cookies, bars, salads, dessert for breakfast, cakes, pies, no bake sweets, and drinks, ranging from 5-minute treats to weekend project showstoppers. Favorite recipes include:Chewy Frosted Tahini CookiesRhubarb Rose BarsBlack Sesame Babka Blueberry Cream Cheese Bagel Chip SaladSprinkle Cake 2.0Saffron and Cardamom TiramisuMarzipan Soda
As with all of Molly's books, Sweet Farm! will include recipes that are both homey and excitingly original, charming and funny stories of family life built around the agricultural year, and beautiful photos and illustrations. Home bakers around the country will love Molly's peek into her life-muddy boots, sticky fingers, and all!
"Sweet Farm! is as sunny and inviting as Molly's glorious smile. It's a big, generous, warmhearted book, chockablock with the kinds of sweets we home bakers love to make and share." - Dorie Greenspan
"Molly Yeh always finds the sweet spot: that magical combination of things that are as fun to make as they are to serve and eat. Not only are these recipes inspiring and joy-inducing, they're craveable and doable, too-and all sprinkled with her signature style. I truly love seeing the kitchen through Molly's rainbow-colored lenses." - Erin McDowell
"Oh boy, I've been waiting for Molly to write this book! The thing I love about Molly's food is that it's absolutely adorable and super creative and all her recipes actually work because she truly knows her stuff. My family and I were on a cross-country road trip and stopped at the beet farm (which is a deliciously magical place). Molly made us the absolute best snack basket I've ever received. No hyperbole. The best. And don't let the Salad chapter scare you. I'm a convert. Molly showed me the light of the cookie salad, and I haven't looked back." - Duff Goldman
"I've loved and trusted Molly Yeh's recipes for years, and Sweet Farm! is such a joyful and heartwarming love letter to all things sweet. Molly's recipes are consistently so creative and approachable, and she's still the only person who can get me truly excited about marzipan." - Benjamina Ebuehi
"We are so lucky to live in a world where Molly Yeh is creating the cookies, cakes, and sweet salads of our dreams! Everything from the supersize pistachio sandwich cookies to the playful rainbow chip financiers feels distinctively Molly, beyond whimsical, and yet 100 percent doable. Sweet Farm! is the sweet treat we all need on our
