Staff Pick
Molly Yeh is the queen of delicious, hearty meals that combine midwestern favorites with fresh flavors. Her latest cookbook showcases her shift from being a food-loving childless adult to a food-loving parent, and thinking about how cooking, feeding, and eating are key in building family traditions. The family food traditions I build will absolutely include her hand-pulled noodles with potsticker-filling sauce, her mozzarella stick salad, and her babka cereal. Yeh is also, crucially, fun to read — this cookbook is like your sunniest, smartest friend casually teaching you how to make showstoppingly delectable dishes while you catch up.

Synopses & Reviews
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.

Review
"[Yeh] pairs expansive flavors and comforting (slyly healthy!) foods….[This book] isn't devoted to 'easy' recipes so much as ones in which efforts are well-spent….Inspiring and undeniably fun fare for foodies." Booklist (Starred Review)
