Sugar...

Molly Yeh likes sugar and that comes over straight away. Some very interesting recipes with sweet and sugar balanced out with tart and bitter. I could do with less sprinkles, in fact no sprinkles at all for me. But I liked how obtainable the recipes are, gorgeous photography and a user friendly layout, all set on her farm.
Recommend.

Molly Yeh is an absolute favorite of mine - I read her blog early on, and then she got a Food Network show which I always watch, I have her earlier cookbooks and frequently use her online recipes.  Therefore, when I saw her newest cookbook on @netgalley I jumped at the chance to get a sneak peak.  This book is all desserts and it is so much fun to read and to bake from.  I love her sense of flavors and ingredients and how she merges her Jewish and Chinese heritage with midwestern cuisine,  

Unfortunately now I need to buy myself another cookbook because I am not allowed to host Rosh Hashana again without the ChocolateTahini Fudge cake with a tahini whipped cream (photo in post, remembering that I am not a food influencer for a reason).  I also made Chocolate Tahini cookies for my book club and they were amazing (both will be part of my rotation now).  I did try non-tahini based recipes as well but I happen to adore tahini in all forms.  If you love interesting and absolutely delicious desserts - this is definitely a book you need on your cookbook shelf.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the cookbook ARC to review

I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but Molly’s adorable personality and creative sweet treats already have me hooked. From cookies to cakes (and more!), there’s a ton of variety and charm on every page. I can’t wait to grab a finished copy once it’s out.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Just a few flips into Molly Yeh's Sweet Farm! and I knew I was going to add it to my "to buy" list right away. Not only is this book adorably sweet, her views on cookie sizes highly relatable, and the commentary on each recipe succinct enough to be enjoyable, it's also the type of dessert cookbook where nothing about the recipes is overly traditional but they should all become instant classics. I have to admit that this is another cookbook I'm reviewing before I test any of the recipes, but with the pub date coming right up, I'm holding out my testing for when I have a physical copy of this book in my hands! Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow Cookbooks, and Molly Yeh for the chance to review this book prior to publication.

This book is super cute and has so many recipes that I can't wait to try. I love that this is all related to her family and their history in farming, but brings it all into the modern age. Molly is adorable and so is this books.

Molly Yeh's approach to cooking is approachable and incredibly fun . The photo's are amazing and vibrant and the recipes are easy to follow . Molly always has a unique spin on her recipes and incorporates her culture and love of fresh ingredients into her food. She is a delight to watch on Food Network and this. book is equally a delight to add to your collection. You won't be disappointed.

I've been following Molly Yeh since back in her blogger days when she published her memoir Molly on the Range about her move from NYC to her husband's family beet farm so I jumped at a chance when I could get a copy of her latest cookbook from Netgalley and the publisher. Yeh has become a star on Food Network with her show Girl Meets Farm and judging appearances on a variety of competitions and now owns her own restaurant. I loved the marzipan chocolate chip cookies from her second book Home is Where the Eggs Are so I looked forward to her latest cookbook Sweet Farm!

Her recipes often feel both homey and exotic with their mix of cultures from her Jewish and Chinese heritage as well as time living in the Chicago area, NYC, and her in-laws Scandinavian/Midwestern roots. We tried baking up the raspberry coconut cinnamon version of her jam bars which were very tasty. There are also two other versions one with plum hazelnut five-spice, and another with apple cardamom marzipan that also sound delicious. I appreciate the fact that Yeh isn't afraid to use floral fragrances in some of her bakes like rose essence and lavender. My Parisian grandmother always used to make financiers for Christmas; I'm looking forward to Yeh's version which adds rainbow chocolate chips for a kid friendly spin and I'm also plan trying the Nutella version of her nutbar recipe. If you are looking for fun twists on some classics sweets than this cookbook should delight. Yeh fans will also enjoy some insights into life on the farm including what it is like farming sugar beets and what sugar beet farmers do during the winter months.

I had not heard of author/cook Molly Yeh before I read this cookbook; but afterwards I checked out her TV show. In my ignorance, I thought the title SWEET FARM referred to a sweet life. Imagine by pleasant surprise when I learned the farm in question produces sugar beets and the recipes are all sweet and amazing. There is almost no aspect of sweet food that is not covered in this book and if you have a sweet tooth (I do) just reading the recipes will create instant demand for these foods. Yeh’s recipes are creative and adventurous and the cookbook is a delight. I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley

I have been a Molly Yeh fan and since the early days of her food blog and am a transplant Minnesotan, so I am admittedly, incredibly, biased. I love, love, love all of her cookbooks and recipes. She combines flavors and cuisines in such an interesting way! I feel like it is easy to tell what a "Molly Yeh" recipe is. It's a classic done well with maybe a quirky ingredient or two and if at all possible... sprinkles. This would be a great gift for your baker friend! Or yourself. Or both.

Another note: I used to work at a cooking school and we would multiply her recipes depending on how many people we needed to feed (x2, x3, x4) and they never suffered in quality. This is specifically about her potato salad recipes, but still! I feel confidently that you could scale up any of these sweet treats, especially since baking is such a precise science, and the results would be just as good.

When I first started following Molly Yeh's blog about a decade ago, the thing that drew me in was her desserts. Her artfully designed cakes and cookies were understated showstoppers and very sweet without being saccharine. This is the book I've been waiting for from her and I'm very excited that it's finally here.

When it comes to baking books, the first thing I am looking for is usability. I love the idea of baking a wedding cake or spending 12 hours on perfectly laminated pastry, but realistically the books I am going to grab for on a regular basis is the one with interesting cookies, quick breads, and other every day sweets. This book absolutely delivers on that front while also bring a sense of play and whimsy to some very familiar midwestern recipes.

I almost gasped when I saw that the Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is in this book as that is my favorite treat from Bernie's and I can't wait to make this a flour and butter stained go to in my kitchen.

I absolutely love this cookbook! It has great stories and the recipes all look delicious! I can't wait to cook my way through this one as well

I absolutely loved this cookbook by Molly Yeh! It’s packed with a variety of deliciously sweet recipes, and on top of that, it offers an insightful look into sugar beet farming. Molly never disappoints when it comes to unique flavor combinations, seamlessly blending recipes and tastes from all over the world. I highly recommend this to all dessert lovers, and I can’t wait to add it to my personal collection!

I enjoy watching Molly on The Food Network and think she has a wonderful personality. However, Sweet Farm! did not excite me. I love to bake and struggled to find recipes I would enjoy making or eating. I understand Molly's recipes mix her Chinese and Jewish heritage, but many combinations did not seem appealing. They also seemed like they were not friendly to the average home baker, as many recipes called for specialty ingredients not easily found at a local grocery store. This cookbook was a miss for me.

I've watched Molly Yeh on the Food Network and I love how she brings her family's traditions into her husbands way of cooking. I am a traditional southern cook/baker so some of her ingredients is new and exiting for me. My favorite recipe is the "One Bowl Any-Butter Cookie Bars." I cannot wait to try the new recipes and also find new flavors to add to my baking repertoire. There are many items I want to make, so I better get cooking. This book is great for newbies where she goes in depth why we need the right tools and ingredients. yet is great for someone who has baked and wants to experiment.

This book is so much fun! Yeh’s personality shines through everywhere—even in the front of the book that talks about all the different kitchen tools and ingredients to use. You could literally read this front to back and have a great time.

I'm already a Molly Yeh fan, but if you aren't, this book will make you one. The recipes are interesting, the instructions are detailed, and most importantly look delicious.

I love Molly Yeh and this cookbook did not disappoint! These recipes all sound phenomenal and I can't wait to work my way through them.

Molly Yeh's cookbooks are always so adorably cute. Sweet Farm! is no different. I've made a number of Molly's recipes in the past from her show and all have been fantastic. This cookbook looks to be no different and I am here for it! If you like Molly's show, her fun, whimsical personality, then you will love this cookbook because all of that comes shining through.

I love watching Molly Yeh. She has a great, fun personality and her recipes reflect that. Inside you'll find cookies, cakes, and other sweet treats, as well as salads, - like a candy bar "salad" bagel chip salad, and more unique and delicious sounding. Some of these recipes are out of my comfort zone, but I can't wait to try many of them.

Sweet Farm by Molly Yeh is the perfect addition for anyone's cookbook shelf! I love Molly Yeh and have been following her along on Food Network. I was so excited to have the opportunity to read this book and was not disappointed! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy of this title in exchange for my honest review.
