Home is Where the Eggs Are

Home is Where the Eggs Are

by Molly Yeh

William Morrow, 2022. 337 pages. Nonfiction. Cookbook.

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.

If you're looking for a delightful and creative cookbook with recipes that can fit in with any lifestyle, this is the book for you! As a mom of two toddlers, I especially appreciated Molly's kid-friendly recipes.
