Just in time for Rosh Hashanah, one of our favorite Jewish food celebrities (Molly Yeh) has collaborated with one of our favorite stores (Anthropologie) on an adorable apple-heavy line of cookware.
“I am so sooo thrilled to introduce a line of pieces that I hope you will gather around, cherish, and pass down to generations to come,“ Yeh wrote on an Instagram post announcing the new line. “My dream is that you’ll use these pieces for cozy fall meals with your favorite humans: braised beans, french toast casseroles, round challah and honey, apple pies, last-of-the-garden-tomato cobblers, and… literally anything with butter so you can use the butter barn.”
Yeh, whose impressive resume includes a Juilliard degree, four cookbooks, the cooking show “Girl Meets Farm” on The Food Network and a restaurant in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, frequently develops recipes inspired by her Jewish and Chinese upbringing.
“Out here on the farm, I can’t walk out my door down the street to Zabar’s and pick up matzah ball soup,” Yeh told Kveller in 2022, referring to the farm on the Minnesota/North Dakota border where she lives with her husband and two daughters (one of whom she announced on Instagram with a photo of a babka that resembled a sonogram). “If I want Jewish food or Chinese food, I’ve gotta make it. If I can help another Jewish or Chinese person who lives in the middle of nowhere cook up some of their comfort food, I’ll feel like I’ve done my job.”
The Anthropologie line perfectly synthesizes the whimsical, colorful yet still classic and grounded style that’s part of Yeh’s appeal. We desperately need the apple shaped honey pot for our Rosh Hashanah tables, and the stoneware braiser has us excited for fall cooking — maybe the preserved lemon brisket from Yeh’s 2023 Rosh Hashanah episode of “Girl Meets Farm”?
Our favorites from the line are below. Should we all just wear our new scalloped apple aprons to Rosh Hashanah services?
Can we ask? Keep Jewish joy accessible to all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you help us meet our year-end goals? (We'll love you forever.)
