SWEET FARM]

More than 100 recipes for sweet treats from New York Times bestselling author and Food Network star Molly Yeh’s cozy kitchen on a sugar beet (and wheat!) farm to be shared in potlucks set on the counter for family snacking or scarfed down in one sitting.Molly Yeh’s favorite childhood memories are of being in the kitchen with her family dipping into a tub of sugar to make rugelach homemade Oreos and more so it’s only fitting she married into a family who farm sugar beets. She and her husband Nick live and work on the Hagen Farm in East Grand Forks MN on the North Dakota border which has been in operation since the 1870s and farming sugar beets since the 1930s. In the decade plus since she moved to the farm Molly has spent her time completely immersed in the world of sugar both during her work hours first as a baker and now as a recipe developer bakery owner and Food Network personality and in her home life running her business and family against the backdrop of the seasonal needs of a thriving farm.Molly speaks fluent sugar so recipes for sweets come naturally—as does her drive to perfect them in flavor texture and ease of making. The recipes include a mix of church cookbook–inspired gems from-scratch versions of nostalgic sweets and new concoctions with flavors drawn from her Asian and Jewish backgrounds as well as beloved Midwestern traditions she’s adopted from her husband’s family and the local community.Sweet Farm! features cookies bars salads dessert for breakfast cakes pies no bake sweets and drinks ranging from 5-minute treats to weekend project showstoppers.
