Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the host of Food Network's Girl Meets Farm and bestselling author of the IACP award-winning Molly on the Range, a collection of cozy recipes that feel like celebrations.

Home Is Where the Eggs Are is a beautiful, intimate book full of food that's best enjoyed in the comfort of sweatpants and third-day hair, by a beloved Food Network host and new mom living on a sugar beet farm in East Grand Forks, MN. Molly Yeh's cooking is built to fit into life with her baby, Bernie, and the naptimes, diaper changes, and wiggle time that come with having a young child, making them a breeze to fit into any sort of schedule, no matter how busy. They're low-maintenance dishes that are satisfying to make for weeknight meals to celebrate empty to-do lists after long workdays, cozy Sunday soups to simmer during the first (or seventh!) snowfall of the year, and desserts that will keep happily under the cake dome for long enough that you will never feel pressure to share.

The flavors in this book draw inspiration from a distinctive blend of Molly's experiences--her Chinese and Jewish heritage, her time living in New York, her husband's Scandinavian heritage, and their farm in the upper Midwest. She uses seasonal ingredients that are common in her region while singlehandedly supporting the za'atar and sumac import industry in her small town. These influences come together into fuss-free crave-able meals that dirty as few dishes as possible and offer loads of prep-ahead, freezing, and substitution tips, such as:

Babka Cereal Mozzarella Stick Salad Doughnut Matzo Brei Ham and Potato Pizza Chicken and Stars Soup Orange Blossom Creamsicle Smoothies Hand-pulled Noodles with Potsticker Filling Sauce Marzipan Chocolate Chip Cookies

In Home Is Where the Eggs Are, the feeling of home starts in the kitchen; just melt some butter, fry an egg, and build a little memory around it.

Booklist Review

Food Network star Yeh (Molly on the Range, 2016) once again pairs expansive flavors and comforting (slyly healthy!) foods in her second cookbook. Fans of Yeh's Girl Meets Farm, now in its eleventh season, will smile at the playful banter and heartfelt meditations on food, home, and family that accompany the more than 100 recipes, while it's hard to imagine any reader who won't find something to enjoy here. Influences from the author's Chinese and Jewish heritage, Chicago roots, North Dakota homestead, the Norwegian American family she married into, and her life as a new mom are all over this book, which isn't devoted to "easy" recipes so much as ones in which efforts are well-spent. For every meal of the day, along with sweets and a few drinks, most recipes are over a page, with narrative instructions. Readers will find everything from a very uninvolved bread dotted with chocolate chips to several exciting versions of hotdish, like a North African-spiced chickpea stunner. And, of course, eggs, in a Persian tahdig-inspired basket of rice, in Chinese street food--style "jianbing-ish" wraps, poached on top of a broccolini soup, scrambled into sweet and savory iterations of matzo brei. Inspiring and undeniably fun fare for foodies.

Library Journal Review

Since the publication of her first cookbook, the 2016 IACP Award-winning Molly on the Range, a lot has changed for Yeh. She launched her popular Food Network show Girl Meets Farm, renovated her farmhouse in Minnesota, and added a child to her family. Yeh says she wanted her latest cookbook to reflect her new appreciation of "building family traditions and celebrating the everyday." Yet while some things have changed for Yeh, other things remain consistent in the kitchen--including the clever way she incorporates her Chinese and Jewish heritage into her cooking, and her ability to successfully mine her husband's Scandinavian family roots and Upper-Midwest food sensibilities for culinary inspiration. Everything comes together perfectly in this delightfully written cookbook that offers clear and concise instructions for a tasty array of treats (ranging from doughnut matzo brie to classic tot hotdish) as well as a new window into Yeh's life on her Minnesota farm, via entertaining asides. VERDICT If patrons are not already a fan of Yeh's cheerful culinary brand of pun-enriched and sprinkle-championing cooking, this charming paean to joys of farmhouse food and the bucolic life will win them over.--John Charles
