Summary

Molly Yeh is a food blogger, Food Network host, restaurant owner, and cookbook author. But before she entered the food space, she spent her early career in a different industry: music. While studying classical percussion at Juilliard, she realized how much she loved trying new restaurants in New York and cooking for her friends. Soon, she launched her food blog, My Name Is Yeh, and after playing music and working on her blog for a few years in Brooklyn, she moved to her husband’s family’s beet farm in Minnesota. There, she poured herself into cooking and food writing, and her blog took off. In 2015, Saveur named it Food Blog of the Year. Today, her food network show, Girl Meets Farm, is currently in its 13th season; she’s been nominated for a James Beard Foundation Media Award for Outstanding Personality/Host; her most recent book, Home Is Where the Eggs Are, is a New York Times bestseller; and so much more.
