Talks & Entertainment

From the host of “Girl Meets Farm” on the Food Network comes Sweet Farm!: More Than 100 Cookies, Cakes, Salads (!), and Other Delights from My Kitchen on a Sugar Beet Farm, a mix of nostalgic sweets and new concoctions drawn from Yeh’s Asian and Jewish backgrounds as well as adopted Midwestern traditions.  

Yeh’s favorite childhood memories are of dipping into a tub of sugar to make rugelach or homemade Oreos, so it’s only fitting that she married into a family who farm sugar beets. Since moving to the farm, Yeh has immersed herself in the world of sugar as a baker, recipe developer, bakery owner, and TV personality. She speaks fluent sugar, so recipes for sweets come naturally—those in Sweet Farm! include chewy frosted tahini cookies, rhubarb rose bars, black sesame babka, and sprinkle cake 2.0. 

Yeh is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Home Is Where the Eggs Are and Molly on the Range. She will be in conversation with Carey Polis, a freelance food editor and consultant, and the author of the “Cheese, Book, Restaurant, Thing” newsletter on Substack.
