Home Is Where The Eggs Are by Molly Yeh

I know I have been slacking on book reviews.  Things have been bonkers in these parts of late.  This will be review 1 of 2 today.

I LOVE Molly Yeh's cooking shows.  And Mr. Kent asked me to update some of our holdings to inspire our culinary students.  So this seemed like a no-brainer purchase I'll be donating today.  

Molly Yeh is Chinese American and Jewish.  She grew up in NYC.  Her husband is a Scandinavian farmer from the North Dakota-Minnesota border. That's quite a culture clash.  They have two toddlers and a flock of chickens all named Macaroni.  So meals must also be kid friendly.  

Each recipe begins with an introduction as to its inclusion.  Yeh states you can Google a recipe for just about anything now, so if she's going to include it in a book, there must be a reason.  I really enjoyed reading how she adjusted to life outside the city, to incorporating her and her husband's traditions in their daily lives, and to creating meaningful meals when ingredients widely available in NYC aren't in rural farmland.  I almost want to shelve this in memoir rather than cooking.
