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.

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.
