How did Molly Yeh become famous?
Yeh studied percussion at Juilliard, where she met her husband, Nick Hagen—and she fell in love not just with Hagen, but also with food, which she found to be her true passion.
After graduating and spending some time together in Brooklyn, they moved to Hagen's family's farm on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, where Yeh devoted more time than ever to her food blog. Her photos became a hit on Pinterest, which generated more attention for her food blog, My Name Is Yeh. In 2016, she released her acclaimed debut cookbook-memoir, Molly on the Range: Recipes and Stories From an Unlikely Life on a Farm.
Two years later, Yeh released her second book, Yogurt, a staple that she calls "the duct tape of dairy products." Her third cookbook, Home Is Where the Eggs Are: Farmhouse Food for the People You Love, was published in 2022.
While she was very well-known in the food world, her Food Network show, Girl Meets Farm, which premiered in 2018, made her a household name. Audiences immediately connected with her farm-fresh Midwestern fare infused with influences from her Chinese and Jewish heritage. The show has aired more than 140 episodes to date—with plenty more to come.
