Theyre 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 Mollys experiencesher Chinese and Jewish heritage, her time living in New York, her husbands Scandinavian heritage, and their farm in the upper Midwest. She uses seasonal ingredients that are common in her region while singlehandedly supporting the zaatar 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

InHome 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.
