By the time I had read the first few recipes, I knew this was a book I wanted to purchase and keep in my kitchen. Molly has such a down to earth charm on top of having gorgeous recipes. This book featured a handful of ingredients I've never baked with before, and wouldn't have thought to use, but Molly makes them seem like must-try desserts.
Everything about this book was lovely. Every photo had me gasping and going 'wow, I need to make that.' My house smells like coffee cake as I type this, and it's just the first of many of these recipes I plan on making. (The lavender lemon loaf is next up. Or the orange chocolate pistachio scone muffins. I can't pick yet.) The entire design of the book is really beautiful and bright and enjoyable to flip through.
I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone with any level of skill or experience.

This was my frist introduction to Molly Yeh and I loved loved loved this!! Molly Yeh is so so good at giving directions even for the most intricate recipes. I've already made several items (any nut butter bars, rosemary potato loaf and peanut butter cake) but my most favorite has been the smores bars! they were incredible, kept well in the fridge and were easy to put together. I can't wait to make more recipes from her.

Super cute book with really unique recipes. I like that all the recipes are things that you do not normally see in cookbooks. I can't wait to try some of these with my kids!

I love Molly Yeh! Her show is so fun and personable and you can hear that in her voice throughout this cook book. And I am honestly learning so much from reading this that I feel like I can bake anything!
The history and back story at the top of every recipe is my favorite part and hearing how she developed what we get to make is so fun.
And learning about harvesting is incredibly cool and really makes you see how small farms can change the world and how we eat.
I would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are a beginner baker or experienced, you will learn how and the pictures help so much as well. Love love love. Can't wait to buy a copy!

I lucked out by being selected for an arc copy of this book! I love watching Molly on the Food Network channel. All of her recipes look so tasty. Thought I haven't had the chance to make anything from this book yet, I've jotted down some recipes I'd like to make in the near future. I'll probably end up buying the book anyhow.
So many fun recipes with bright photos! Love it all.

This book is loaded with fun and unique dessert recipes. I was bookmarking so many pages to come back to. Most have approachable ingredients that already live in my pantry, some have a few things I'd have to source (e.g. Halva). The imagery is beautiful, the storytelling is lovely, I really enjoyed this cookbook. It'd make a great gift for the baker in your life.

When I saw this book I immediately knew that I had to have it I absolutely love Molly Yeh I've watched her for a couple years now on the food that work and she is one of my favorites I think she is so sweet and her food always looks so delicious and through this cookbook I have found some really amazing recipes some really interesting recipes I feel like this is an all inclusive cookbook where there's literally something for every single person I also tried a couple of the different recipes and they were all super delicious super easy to make the directions for them all were super easy to follow I definitely recommend this book

I am so grateful to have been chosen to preview this cookbook before it’s officially released to the world next March. This makes me excited to get back in the kitchen and whip up some sweet treats. I loved learning more about Molly and her husband’s families’ background and their life on a sugar beet farm. I will refer to this book often when I need dessert inspiration!

I have read Molly's other cookbooks including "Short Stack: Yogurt" so I was happy to be approved for the advanced reader copy of Sweet Farm! I enjoy learning more about Molly's live living on the sugar beet farm in Minnesota. If you are a fan of Molly's easy recipes with interesting ingredients you will love this cookbook.

Sweet Farm includes 100+ recipes for cookies, bars, salads, desserts for breakfast, cakes, pies, frozen and no bake, and drinks. The cookbook begins with an introduction and ingredients and tools to have. Next are the recipes. Every recipe has an introduction, ingredient list, and directions. The directions are written in paragraph format, which is a bit more difficult to follow than numbered directions. However, the recipes do include a photo, which I appreciate. That said, it would be useful if the recipes listed the prep and bake times at the start so you can easily see how long the recipe takes without having to read through all the directions. As far as the difficulty level of the cookbook, many of the directions are a page long, so I recommend the cookbook for those confident with baking in the kitchen and are looking for new baked goods to try.

I have borrowed and read most of Molly Yeh's cookbooks so far, and I have made and tried a lot of her recipes from those books, from Food Network Magazine, and from her social media posts. Although the odd recipe calls for something I don't have handy, for the most part, the ingredients are staples in my pantry (or easy to source and useable for more than one recipe) and her recipes are really easy to follow with enough detail for someone who isn't an experienced cook or baker. My favourite biscotti recipe is one of hers and I always get complements on it.
When I saw that she had a book that was all about the sweet stuff - the baking stuff - I was ready to dive in and test it out. I found so many great recipes and some that I have already tried for other Yeh sources. Everything turned out great that I tried, and there were no complaints from my family as I was taste testing and recipe testing this book.
The anecdotes about Yeh and her family and her husband's farm that are interspersed sound and feel like watching Yeh on her Food Network show; and her instructions for each recipe are also told in that conversational way.
If you are looking for some easy to follow recipes that turn out well, this is a great baking book to add to your recipe book collection. Sure, you may have to go find a few ingredients, but only if you really want to make that recipe. There are enough recipes that use what you likely have on hand that you can tuck in right away and get baking.

The cutest book for any sweet and delicious treat! I think the recipes are perfect for any girls night-in with your besties, or for any occasion where sweets are welcomed! The photos included in the book were also equally sweet and fun to see! I loved the overall character of the book and all the tips and details added! I am so excited to bake every recipe in the book!

As a long time follower and fan of Molly Yeh, I was incredibly excited to get a first look at Sweet Farm!
I’m intrigued by stories of immigration to America and really enjoyed learning about Nick, Molly‘s husband‘s, ancestors history and how they began farming sugar beets, and would later pass the farm down through many generations. I’m also most embarrassed to say that I knew nothing about sugar beets, and certainly did not know how much of America’s sugar is a derivative of sugar beets.
Also at the beginning of the book, Molly has a large section about ingredients which I found absolutely eye opening. I love that she gave store-bought generic versions when applicable and explained when it was best to splurge. I even learned a thing or two about butter - namely, went to use salted butter (something that has perplexed me for far too long).
I really do not need to drone on about how my stomach was growling while reading through Molly’s delectable recipes - but oh my. I’m not sure where to begin, but I will certainly be making a cookie or two or three this weekend. The Miso Toffee Crackers look exactly like my grandmothers Chocolate Toffee Matza, and I also have a freezer full of Grandmas Mandel Bread that I may just have to enjoy as cereal.
♥︎ Many thanks to NetGalley, William Morrow Cookbooks and Molly Yeh for the ARC of Sweet Farm!

As always-Molly puts together such an amazing spread of recipes that make me so excited to get back to the kitchen again. She sprinkles a bit of her culture and her personality that her take on a classic recipe stand out. Love love love this one!

I received an e-copy of this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
This was a fun cookbook! I loved the history behind the farm/family, and I too didn't know about sugar beets haha. If you are looking for some fun and zany recipes, look no further than Molly Yeh - its colorful, the recipes are unlike anything else, and they all feel very intentional. I am looking forward to trying recipes such as: earl grey black and white cookies, blueberry cream cheese bagel chip salad, jam and mozzarella English muffin rolls, and Hawaij carrot cake with orange blossom cream cheese frosting!

I received an ARC of this cookbook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a wonderful cookbook. There are so many recipes that I want to try and each one looks more delicious than the last.

This cookbook is amazing! The beautiful photography makes you want to eat everything. I love how there is a back story with each recipe!

I really like Molly Yeh so I was excited for her new book. There were recipes that I've seen featured on her show and some new stuff. Everything looked delicious. I didn't realize that this was just a baking book but I wasn't disappointed. Plenty of recipes that I want to try. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because some recipes seemed overly complicated for no reason, but I think this will be a big hit among bakers.

Molly Yeh is so fun to watch cook as she is engaging, down to earth and seems to always have a smile on her face; rainbow sprinkles are perfect to describe her cooking style! Creating a cookbook that focuses on the sweeter things in life with a large selection of desserts is a perfect fit for Molly making me very excited to read and cook from her new cookbook, Sweet Farm!
As a North Dakota farm gal myself the only complaint I have ever had with Molly's books is there are a lot of recipes that I know will never end up at a normal Midwest potluck. The ingredients just aren't as common or available in some of the old-time farming communities. That said, as an Oregon transplant for the last 30 years I appreciate that I can reach for recipes that have the comfort of home with a unique and different spin on them. Sweet Farm is no different. There are the standard bars and cookies that you would expect to see alongside some unexpected and interesting ingredients that won't be found in a church social cookbook.
The photography and layout of the book is beautifully done. The couple of recipes I have tried were easy to follow and enjoyed by friends and family. All in all, a solid dessert cookbook without the pretentiousness that is often found in these types of collections

Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Sweet Farm! by Molly Yeh in exchange for an honest review. I love this book of recipes and background info on Molly Yeh. My great great grandparents also came here from Norway and moved to the Dakota's. I was raised with lots of German, Norwegian and American cooking. Some of these recipes are familiar from family or Molly Yeh's show. I've always wanted to try a bunch of them and can't wait to get started.
