You might know Molly Yeh as the host of the Food Network cooking show Girl Meets Farm. The American cookbook author, blogger, and foodie, is adored for her bubbly personality and candid, down-to-earth approach to cooking.
But when it comes to her kitchen, she’s also quite the innovator. Drawing from her cultural roots, Yeh, a Chinese and Jewish descendant, often blends the two kitchens together, creating what has come to be known as the Chinese-Jewish cuisine. Her recipes include, for instance, pretzel challah (which actually went viral).
Another staple in her kitchen schnitzel, claiming that “If life gives you lemons, squeeze them on a schnitzel!” And at least judging from her Instagram account, she also very much enjoys her desserts.
“I used to think that the best part about being Jewish and Chinese was that I could breeze through math class like it ain’t no thang,” Yeh told food52, jokingly, “but now I’m pretty sure that the best part is getting away with taking the best foods from each culture, and smashing them together.”
Take a look at some of her appetizing dishes in the gallery below:
