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.

As with all of Molly’s books, Sweet Farm! will include recipes that are both homey and excitingly original, charming and funny stories of family life built around the agricultural year, and beautiful photos and illustrations. Home bakers around the country will love Molly’s peek into her life—muddy boots, sticky fingers, and all!


Molly Yeh is the Emmy Award– and James Beard Foundation Award–nominated star of Food Network’s series Girl Meets Farm. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling Home Is Where the Eggs Are and Molly on the Range, which was the winner of the IACP Judge’s Choice Award in 2016, and is the creator of the lifestyle food blog my name is yeh, Saveur’s 2015 “Food Blog of the Year.” She was named to Forbes’ 30 under 30 list and The Forward 50 for 2017 and was a Glamour Woman of the Year in Food in 2019. Outside the kitchen, Molly is a Juilliard-trained classical percussionist and has performed with ensembles around the world. She lives on a farm on the North Dakota-Minnesota border with her fifth-generation farmer husband, Nick, their two daughters, and a little flock of chickens.


Julia Turshen is the bestselling author of Now & Again, Feed the Resistance, Small Victories, and Simply Julia and has coauthored numerous other cookbooks, including the James Beard Award-winning In Bibi’s Kitchen. She hosts the IACP-nominated podcast Keep Calm and Cook On and has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and Saveur, and more. She sits on the Kitchen Cabinet Advisory Board for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, is the founder of Equity At The Table (EATT), an inclusive digital directory of women and non-binary individuals in food, and is a member of God’s Love We Deliver’s Culinary Council. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her spouse, Grace, and their many pets.
