Half Baked Harvest Cookbook Recipes from my Barn in the Mountains

DISTINCTIVE. DOABLE.

DELICIOUS.

ONE OF SEVEN CHILDREN, TIEGHAN GERARD grew up in Ohio and then moved to the Colorado mountains with her family before high school.

When her dad took too long to get dinner on the table every night, she started doing the cooking at age fifteen.

Ever-determined to rein in the chaos of her big tamily, Tieghan found her comfort zone in the kitchen. Usually she stuck to the rules, but behind the stove she found freedom and creativity. She started chronicling her fresh takes on old favorites on her blog, Half Baked Harvest, and since then millions of people have fallen in love with her unique recipes, stunning photography, and charming life in the mountains.

While it might be a trek to reach Tieghan's barn-turned-test kitchen, her creativity shines here: dress up that cheese board with a real honeycomb; decorate a standard salad with spicy, crispy sweet potato fries; give French onion soup an Irish kick with Guinness and soda bread; bake a secret ingredient into your apple pie (hint: it's molasses). A striking photograph accompanies every recipe, making Half Baked Harvest Cookbook a feast for your eyes, too.
