Description
125 of your new favorite recipes, featuring maximum flavor, minimum fuss, and the farm to table style that turned Half Baked Harvest from a beloved blog into the megahit cookbook series “Recipes veer from Braised Pork Tamale Burrito Bowls to Crispy Buffalo Quinoa Bites with no logic other than flat-out good taste.”— Epicurious Tieghan Gerard grew up in the Colorado mountains as one of seven children. When her dad took too long to make dinner every night, she started doing the cooking—at age fifteen. Ever-determined to reign in the chaos of her big family, Tieghan found her place in the kitchen. She had a knack for creating unique dishes, which led her to launch her blog, Half Baked Harvest. Since then, millions of people have fallen in love with her fresh take on comfort food, stunning photography, and charming life in the mountains. While it might be a trek to get to Tieghan’s barn-turned-test kitchen, her creativity shines here: dress up that cheese board with a real honey comb; decorate a standard salad with spicy, crispy sweet potato fries; serve stir fry over forbidden black rice; give French Onion Soup an Irish kick with Guinness and soda bread; bake a secret ingredient into your apple pie (hint: it’s molasses). From Korean Beef, Sweet Potato, and Quinoa Bibimbap to Healthier Slow-Cooker Butter Chicken to Addictive Salted Caramel–Stuffed Chocolate Cookies, a striking photograph accompanies every recipe, making Half Baked Harvest Cookbook a feast your eyes, too.

Crave-able bold flavors, approachable recipes, gorgeous photos and story
This cookbook is a great resource for any home cook, both for those who already know HBH and those discovering Tieghan for the first time. I stumbled across HBH a few years ago looking for a beer bread recipe and have been following Tieghan's blog ever since. I've enjoyed everything I made off her blog, so I pre-ordered this hoping to find more of the same amazing, crave-able, doable variety plus great photos of every dish. Unsurprisingly, Teighan exceeded my expectations. The HBH cookbook contains the same mix of healthy and decadent offerings, ranging from meat-y and cheese-y to vegetarian, as the blog does. At first glance, I thought there were a number of recipes that overlapped with the blog, but actually they've all been tweaked (updated? improved?) a little. That 5-ingredient beer bread which first won me over is here, in a different (and better) iteration as a honey beer bread. It tastes even better than the original. The cheesy quinoa bake from her blog is here but again, slightly different (and possibly a little healthier). Similar story for the French onion soup (now Irish French onion soup). The only obvious exceptions are items like the butter chicken, which is on her blog to feature this cookbook release. So far, I've made that beer bread, the amazing corn and blueberry salsa, the BBQ short ribs, the ginger-miso eggplant, and the miso beef and ramen noodle stir-fry (I didn't cook my steak quite as long as she cooks hers). Everything has been exceptional, well-balanced, and totally approachable for any one interested in cooking at home. You'll need some pretty standard spices, and perhaps a bit of patience for long and slow cooking, but otherwise there are no fancy ingredients or expensive kitchen items required to pull these recipes together. Tieghan has a great voice, and interesting story, and shares recipes full of bold flavor that have been clearly well-tested.

Beautiful photos and delicious, well rounded recipes
This is such an amazing cookbook! I've followed Tieghan's blog for a few years and always enjoyed her recipes and this cookbook is no exception. I've cooked 5 or 6 of the recipes so far and they've all turned out great. The butter chicken actually tastes like it came from a restaurant; I usually find that homemade indian dishes never have quite the same spice taste. One of my favorites is the Wild rice and Havarti stuffed acorn squash. It is to DIE for and really quite easy to put together. We will definitely be eating this again. The pizza with the brie was a combination I did not think I'd like (it sounded weird), but it turned out really well. I already have the ingredients to cook it again. I made the Earl Gray muffins for a brunch and got so many compliments on them! There is a nice range of vegetarian and meat recipes as well as some sea food recipes that look pretty good (I'm not a huge seafood fan). I will say the desserts are mostly chocolate based so that may or may not be a plus for someone. Every recipe has the most beautiful photos to go along with it. There are some nice little excerpts before the recipes that talk about the ingredients or the inspiration for the dish. Many of the recipes suggest substitutions for meat or ingredients or alternative cooking methods. I look forward to cooking more recipes and hopefully seeing another of her cookbooks in the future!

RUN! Don't walk to buy this cookbook!
After having pinned and tried multiple of Tieghan's recipes on Pinterest, I decided to splurge and buy one of her cookbooks. I tend to avoid buying cookbooks because (1) they take up space and (2) I tend to only use one or two recipies in the book or not use it at all. Let me tell you - I have made about 20 of the recipes in this cookbook and they come out PERFECT EVERY TIME. If you're looking to elevate your tradtional weeknight dinner, serve something impressive for guests, or just try something new and scruptious for desert, this is really the cookbook for you. Tieghan's recipes are fun, approachable, DELICIOUS, and anyone can make them. Some recipies look intimidating, but that's just because they're just so darn gorgeous you assume they have to be hard. Trust me, they're not! This cookbook makes me look like a 5-star chef when in reality, I'm just an amateur SAHM cook that values good taste and fresh ingredients. Some ingredients can be expensive (vanilla beans, specialty cheeses), but they can be easily subsituted for something similar if you can't find it or don't want to spend the money. Love, love, love! I definitely have a few more to try before I buy her next one!
