Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Molly’s new cookbook is filled with fun recipes that look yummy. I enjoyed looking through the recipes and seeing the pictures to accompany them.

Molly Yeh's newest cookbook is a celebration of desserts in every way, shape and form. There are cookies, cakes, pies and even the delightfully named "salads" that the American Midwest is famous for. Her classic candy bar salad is one of my personal favorites.

Molly's voice really shines through in her recipes. They're all easy to make, and she provides gorgeous photographs so you can see the finished products. All in all, this book is an absolute delight!!

I received an advanced readers copy of this book from NetGalley and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Yeh tackles sweets in this latest cookbook of hers. It is very very sweet! I thought a lot of the recipes were overkill, but those who like their sweets sweet will find much to their liking. And there are definitely some new ideas here. Are you hungry yet?

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. It made me hungry as a good cookbook should.

I love everything about this cookbook, including how it incorporates farming and the author's backstory, which make the recipes seem more personal. I love baking with flavors like tahini, sesame, and cardamom, so there are several recipes that I will be trying. I also love the variety of recipes and how some of them can be customized to fit dietary preferences or what you have on hand. The pictures were plentiful and looked like they were taken in the kitchen of an actual person and not some super fancy modern kitchen. Every picture looked good! I can't wait to make the tahini cookies and the cardamom buns. I may buy a hard copy of this cookbook just to have on hand!

Sweet Farm! focuses on sweet treats from the traditional to more unique flavor components with a lot of inspiration from the midwest, and Jewish and Chinese heritage.

The Sections are
cookies
bars
salads
dessert for breakfast
cakes
pies
frozen and no bake
drinks

Each recipe has a recipe blurb, servings, ingredients, directions broken into actions (ex: in, when, working, transfer, bake, spread, store). Most of the recipes also have photographs of the sweets. The recipes are easy to follow. The one downside is the ebook is a little difficult to read with the small font.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Molly Yeh's Sweet Farm! is such a fun cookbook for baking and sweet treats. The book is aesthetically pleasing with lots of photos. I appreciate all of Molly's tips and stories throughout the book. While some of her flavor combinations may seem unusual, the recipes all feel very approachable at the same time, and are things I can envision becoming staples in my baking repertoire. The recipes feel special without being fussy. Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the eARC

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love this Molly Yeh cookbook! I have been a big fan of hers since I started watching her show on Food Network. I own a few of her previous cookbooks and I was so excited I was approved for Sweet Farm as an e-ARC. I loved the recipes in the book and loved the photos and helpful hints and tricks to baking. I can not wait to buy the book to add to my collection.

I don't watch a lot of cooking shows online these days, but I have managed to see a few by Molly Yeh. I like her approach, story and the general show. I was excited to get the opportunity to review the advanced reader copy of this cookbook. The recipes in this cookbook are sweet recipes and there is a good variety to the recipes. Overall, I found this to a nice complement to a cookbook collection for someone that enjoys Molly Yeh's recipes and is looking for a sweet treat.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

I liked this book a lot. It has wonderful recipes for sweets that I'd like to try. I liked the information about sugar beets and farming them. A very interesting cookbook.

I absolutely love this book. I was a little skeptical (salads?!), but was so pleasantly surprised by the recipes. I found myself bookmarking nearly every page due to the sheer number of recipes I was eager to try. And try I did. I am a sucker for cookies and her big sugar cookies and potato chip chocolate chip cookies were game changers for my family. While I received a digital copy of this book through NetGalley, I had to immediately purchase a copy to add to my physical cookbook collection. I am so looking forward to baking my way through this book, intruding my family to some new and exciting flavor combinations, and testing each and ever sweet.

This book is delightful. The recipes are wonderful. I have watched Molly on her show Girl Meets Farm and very happy to see this book. I found it to be very informative.





Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for providing me with this ARC.

This is a fantastic cookbook! The recipes I'm most excited to try are the Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookie,Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Rugelach,Yellow Cake Cookie Bars and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. The photos throughout are fantastic and add a charming personal touch. There is a wide array of recipes that vary in difficulty making this great for cooks of all levels. I would recommend this! Special Thank You to Molly Yeh,William Morrow and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love Yeh's other cookbooks and this one is also just as delightful. Focusing on just sweets -cakes, cookies, salads, and other desserts - this isn't as versatile as the previous books with a variety, but Yeh still brings her charm and personality to the recipes. It makes reading the backstory to the recipes my favorite part of her cookbooks including this one.

I love Molly Yeh and these recipes are so fun. Love the sugar cookie bars. Not sure how I feel about candy salads yet but I have to try before I judge. This is a fun book with lovely recipes.

I've been a big Molly Yeh fan for years, and this latest book just makes me love her more. The recipes are fun and a little whimsical, and I love the fun tidbits and backstories here. This will be a family favorite for years to come!

I am a big fan of Molly Yeh and her recipes. We have so many favorites on repeat from Home is Where the Eggs Are, Girl Meets Farm and even her blog. Sweet Farm is her third cookbook and focused on desserts. If you watch her show regularly, you may recognize a handful of recipes. The recipe head notes are fun and chatty. The instructions are very clear and concise. I love the flavor profiles Molly Yeh favors especially cardamom, almond paste, pistachios, and rose water.

Highly recommend the stollen bars and the hawaij carrot cake. The halva was easy to make but not quite as great as the pumpkin scone loaf in HIWTEA. I love that one dough can make cardamom buns, marzipan poppy seed babka muffins, or potato doughnuts to name just a few. I can't wait for rhubarb season in a few weeks to make the roasted rhubarb and strawberries with yogurt whip, pretzel crumble, and sumac. As a New Englander I have no experience with strawberry pretzel salad but this updated version sounds delightful.

I love Molly Yeh, so I was pretty sure I was going to like this book despite not being much of a baker. And I definitely made some delicious treats and learned some things along the way! Here is what I baked (in order based on what my fiancé and I liked best because we actually fully agreed this time):

Cardamom Buns: SO. FLUFFY. I was skeptical because they didn’t have icing, but they don’t need it - they are perfectly moist without it. They are also not overly sweet which I appreciated. Will make these a million times again!

Strawberry Raspberry Elderflower Jam: I have only made jam three times in my life (because why would I when I can just buy jam?) and only Molly’s recipes ever work for me. I swear they are idiot proof. I appreciated the herbal notes from the liqueur because it made it more exciting than just a normal fruit jam

Earl Grey Black and White Cookies: I didn’t realize we were out of corn syrup, so I had to use cane syrup instead - so these are more black and tan than black and white. I also didn’t space them out enough on the pan so they came out weirdly shaped. And my glaze skills definitely need work because they are messy af. However. The cookies themselves were so soft and tasted exactly like earl grey so I’m calling them a success

Jam and Mozzarella English Muffin rolls: these were really weird but very tasty. They came out almost biscuit-like. I appreciated the nice crunchiness and the swirls of jam (I used the jam I made!), but I didn’t get the cheese - it seemed out of place

Orange Chocolate Pistachio Scone Muffins: these were the least successful thing I baked. The almond extract gave them a weird after taste and they kind of fell apart while eating them. They were also not really scone-y, so I mostly just wished they were normal chocolate chip muffins

All in all, I’m glad I branched out of my comfort zone, if only because I can now make cardamom buns anytime I want and that’s beautiful

The Sunday morning routine at my house: sleeping in, making a French press (and often breakfast), and watching Food Network in the hopes that we’ll catch a few episodes of Girl Meets Farm. So this book could have had nearly anything in it and I’d still be singing the praises of this sprinkle-loving millennial who studied percussion at Juilliard and followed a love of baking (and her husband) to live on his family’s sugar beet farm in the Midwest. But I don’t have to delude myself, because it’s just a great sweets cookbook (not just baking but drinks, frozen, no bakes, and more)! Molly’s blogging background really shines in her recipe intros, and if you’re a superfan (or looking to become one), you’ll love all the lore. And the recipes resemble classics but always have a great spin, often inspired by her Jewish and Chinese heritage and the Midwest - Miso Toffee Crackers, Black-and-White Cookie Salad, Black Sesame Babka. I’m still not totally sold on sweet salads, but I am completely sold on Molly Yeh.

I received a digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Molly Yeh's cooking show is fantastic and as expected, the new recipes do not disappoint. Lets start with the reality. I do not love to bake. It's too mathy for me, but even I could handle these. The chewy frosted tahini cookies are a recipe I will definitely make again. Not too sweet. Also I love how there are levels for all bakers, including a whole chapter on frozen/no bake recipes. The processed cheese fudge recipe is worth buying the book just for that.
