Home Is Where the Eggs Are

“The home in Molly Yeh’s brilliant Home Is Where the Eggs Are is a place where Seedy Halva Fairy Toasts play nice with Tahini Monster Cookies, last night’s pizza party becomes today’s chopped salad, and kimchi tops an inside-out cheeseburger called Jucy Lucy! In short, eggs get broken and Yeh whips up a joyfully delicious Chinese-Jewish-Midwestern omelet that shows us how cooking can be funny and fancy, silly and serious, and that the kitchen is always where the heart is.” — Cal Peternell “Molly Yeh’s work has always felt like it couldn’t come from anyone else—it’s specifically her, full of heart and personality. This new book extends that feeling into her home and family and is so warm and lovely.” — Julia Turshen “Home Is Where the Eggs Are sparkles with Molly Yeh’s signature sunnyside-up joy, warmth, and humor. Every recipe and story reminds us that there is magic to be found in everyday mealtimes, and that cooking for our family should be simple, nurturing, and utterly fun.” — Helly Lui McKinnon “Molly Yeh brings herself to every recipe, giving each dish a unique spice ingredient and twist! She’s a human surprise and delight, and her food is brilliant!” — Drew Barrymore “What a joyous cookbook. Molly Yeh’s energy, charming storytelling, and tremendous range of recipes make this well worth the wait.” — Deb Perelman Best New Cookbooks for Fall. “Yeh’s Jewish and Chinese heritage, and her husband’s Midwestern Scandinavian roots, inform recipes like salami matzo brei, moo shu chicken, and weeknight lefse; there’s also a stellar brown rice bowl with smoked salmon that makes ingenious use of Ritz crackers.” — Eater Best Cookbooks Publishing in Fall 2022 “A collection of low-fuss, low-maintenance meals that draw from her own Chinese-Jewish heritage and her husband’s Scandinavian roots” — Forbes “[Yeh] pairs expansive flavors and comforting (slyly healthy!) foods. . . . Fans . . . will smile at the playful banter and heartfelt meditations on food, home, and family that accompany the more than 100 recipes. [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) “This delightfully written cookbook . . . offers clear and concise instructions for a tasty array of treats . . . If patrons are not already a fan of Yeh’s cheerful culinary brand of pun-enriched and sprinkle-championing cooking, this charming paean to joys of farmhouse food and the bucolic life will win them over.” — Library Journal (starred review)
