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!

This is a wonderful cookbook. There are so many recipes that I want to try and each one looks more delicious than the last.

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.

This is such a pretty book I definitely saved a number of the recipes and it was also a nice surprise to see her sweet girls in the pages.

What a classic! molly has such an interesting approach to cooking that combines respect for classic cooking but updates it in a refined way. Her recipes are innovative,fun,interesting and delicious !!! THIS book doesn't disappoint. The commentary helps provide connection to her recipes and insight into their history. She has such a unique take on cooking and this book was awesome!

The recipes in this book are accessible but clever. There are some classics but mostly these recipes are twists on sweet treats. I'm not sure how many of these flavor combinations really connect with me, but this was a really nicely put together cookbook.

Sweet Farm by Molly Yeh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for providing an eARC.

Oh my goodness! I made the Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies out of Sweet Farm today and they are soooooo good! Sweet Farm is such a cute cookbook. I love the emphasis the book places on family history and how the recipes all tie into that in different ways.

The directions are clear, concise, thorough, and easy to follow. The photos are beautiful. All of the information provided at the beginning of the book about the different ingredients and tools is very helpful. Every recipe in this book sounds fantastic. I love the unique flavors and spins on common sweets. I can’t wait to make more of these recipes.

Up next: S’mores Bars!

I love Molly Yeh and her show and have even eaten at her restaurant. The recipe for the potato chip chocolate chip cookies is enough to run out and get a copy of this book. This book is filled with beautiful photos, family friendly recipes, and stories to tie it all together. A gem of a book sure to provide hours of reading entertainment.

I have been a fan of Molly Yeh for a very long time. I was very excited about this book, and it did not disappoint. The design of this book was very fun and whimsical. I enjoyed the introduction section and found it very informative. The recipes, themselves, were fun and unique. However, the ingredients used were readily available. I love that the book solely focuses on sweets. I believe the recipes would also appeal to a wide variety of people. This book would be great for any home baker or fan of Molly Yeh alike. I also think it would make a great gift. I would recommend this book.
