Molly Yeh can trace all of her professional success as an author and star on the Food Network back to journaling in a Hello Kitty notebook as a young girl.
As young as age 7 or 8, Yeh remembers writing down the names of all the boys she had crushes on in school. From there she moved to documenting her life in scrapbooks, followed by a blog that captured her adventures in New York as a college student. The concept of journaling helped her to discover her true calling.
“(Journaling) helped me find my passion for food because I realized that’s all I wanted to journal about … and that snowballed into a career in food,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful, creative outlet.”
Journaling may be part of Yeh’s remarks when she speaks at RootsTech 2022. Food and family recipes will definitely be discussed.
The bestselling cookbook author, blogger and host of the Food Network cooking show “Girl Meets Farm” will be a keynote speaker at the all-virtual family history conference scheduled for March 3-5, FamilySearch announced Wednesday.
“I love genealogy and the prospect of potentially learning more about my family history,” Yeh said.
Yeh joins actor Matthew Modine, French baker Apollonia Poilâne, Argentine singer and actor Diego Torres and African boxing legend Samuel Azumah Nelson as keynote speakers at RootsTech. Elder Ulisses Soares, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, Sister Rosana Soares, will be the featured keynote speakers at the event’s Family Discovery Day.
