Honestly, I cannot believe this day is actually here…I finally get to reveal the cover, and even a few details, about The Half Baked Harvest Cookbook!
I do realize that the book is not even out…yet, but today’s the day I can actually show you guys, not only the COVER, but also a sneak peek inside, plus all the preorder details! I am SO excited it’s not even funny! I am also SO super nervous for everyone’s feedback. But I think I’m more excited than anything else.
As a lot of you know, this book has been almost two years in the making now. Yes, it takes a while to create a cookbook, and I had no idea how much work would be involved. But like I have mentioned, I could not be happier with how it is shaping up. The recipes are in…and have been tested over, and over, and over, by not only me but also my amazing recipe tester, Peter. The writing is complete and the photos have all been turned in. And while I don’t love each and every photo, the book would never be ready for that to happen. All in all, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. So all that’s left now is to prep for the books release, which is September 12th, 2017! Just six short months away! 🙂

What I love most about this cookbook is that there is a little something for everyone. Everything from the super healthy to the super indulgent, to everyday easy dinners, to weekend pastas that are worth the extra time! Count on finding plenty of easy crockpot recipes along with recipes that take just thirty minutes start to finish! There are plenty of breakfast options, appetizers to please a crowd, pasta and pizza galore, and even some veggie heavy recipes. And yes, there’s an entire chapter on desserts. Some are a chocolate lovers dream, some are super fruity and a handful are even healthy…ish.
The Half Baked Harvest cookbook is truly a refection of what you see on the blog. The recipes in the cookbook are the best of the BEST, my most favorite creations. Recipes I have saved on my computer over the last four years for when the time came to put them into a cookbook. These recipes are what I am calling the HBH creme de la crumb recipes, they are my most treasured recipes. With each recipe there is also a photo, and for some recipes there even two. As you guys know, I LOVE photos and one of the most important things to me was that each recipe have at least one beautiful photo to accompany it!
OK, so let me give you a little sneak peek inside…

…the breakfast chapter is huge and full of both sweet and savory recipes.
…there is plenty of pasta…and pizza. Obviously.
…plenty of appetizers and snacks.
…a whole chapter on (mostly) meatless meals…or mostly meatless and even some vegan recipes. 🙂
…there is a photo and a story with every recipe, just like here on the blog.
…all of the recipes are brand new and never before seen!

I am really looking forward to your cookbook coming out as I am under the firm conviction your food is more beautiful and scrumptious than any out there. I haven’t bought a cookbook in eons because I am able to look recipes up online but this one I will be adding to my existing collection.
I am beyond thrilled for your cookbook and the new recipes to come!!!! You inspire me to want to eat clean and healthy and even more you inspire me to want to cook, which I didn’t always make the time for! I love when my family says, “Are you going to be making something from your girl tonight?!” We love your recipes and you! Keep shooting for the stars!
I can’t wait to have all of these awesome recipes in one place!
Can’t WAIT for that breakfast chapter!!!
My daughter got me hooked on HFH and we’re constantly sending each other direct messages, “Did you see that recipe?” Or, “I want one of those cupcakes now!” It’s a fun way for us to connect, but I’d love for her to have a copy of HRH so SHE can make ME some of the dishes! Lol. Either way, we’ll get it, but it would be fun to win a copy. We love the fresh foods and (relatively) simplicity of your recipes and your carefree spirit! Cheers!
I must say Tieghen you are the most dedicated mountain country girl ever your pictures your writings just about the best Ican never wait to go on your blog everyday
to see what you have surprised us all to see your work is excellent I congratulate you
with great honors I hope I can be the one to get that beautiful copy of your first cookbook I would be honored to use always and add it to my own kitchen.

I love recipe books and am so happy you’re making one! Yes, the internet is great but there’s just something about flipping through a cook book, choosing a recipe and preparing it with the book propped on the kitchen counter!
I’m not sure if I’m most looking forward to your beautiful photography or to your creative food and flavor combinations. Let’s just say it’s a tie!!
What can I say? From the very first image I discovered on your blog was a beautiful cherry tomato tart. I thought… “I could make that. It may not be as pretty as the picture, but it looks so good. Organic. Fresh. Homemade.” I haven’t looked back since. I’ve cooked dinners using your recipes for my parents who can’t cook for themselves much anymore. I cooked appetizers for parties with friends and desserts for holidays. Every time I cooked one of your recipes and presented it there would be no less than 3-5 people asking where I got the recipe. And my response is always: halfbakedharvest.com
One of my friends is a singer who struggles finding good vegan and gluten free meals. I showed her your website. When I take pictures to show my other friends I credit your website for the recipe.
Your blog changed my life for the better and made me enjoy cooking for my friends and family. I don’t touch fast food anymore. I rarely use anything processed. And I feel more energetic after I eat instead of sluggish and sad.
I cannot wait for your cookbook and many more to come!
Man, I’m so excited about every part of your cookbook! As a 23 year old foodie and aspiring baker, I am so encouraged by your cooking journey. I took a leap of faith after graduating college and chose to focus on my love of food instead of my assumed career path. All of your recipes are incredible, your photography is gorgeous, and your writing is authentic. We share a love of all things chocolate, Gilmore Girls, and Harry Potter and I’m constantly cheering for you! Congratulations on this great thing!!
Congratulations! It looks great! I agree 100% that cook books needs lots of pictures, I’m looking forward to ordering yours! I hope the transatlantic mail is quick! 🙂
I’m most looking forward to your combinations of different fruits and vegetables which always inspire me on your blog!
Congrats! I love your blog and it’s been wonderful seeing it grow. I’m most excited for the Sweet Eats:)
I must say, I love the cover of this book! the colors of the food are amazing. I believe that food should not just taste good, but look good as well!
I am looking forward to the desserts, and the appetizers. I also like the fact that it appears to have a vast variety of meals as I am always looking for different and healthy recipes for my family!
I’m so excited for you– such an amazing accomplishment! I’m excited for the new recipes- you have what I consider a “real life” range of recipes… healthy to decadent, veggie to meaty, etc. So this book will be a welcome addition to my kitchen.
Brand new recipes!? I can’t wait to try some of your sweet eats. I have absolutely loved everything I’ve ever made from you. It keeps our weekly meal planning from getting stuck in a rut.
Huge huge HUUUUGE congrats Tieghan! The cover looks incredible and so do all the other photos you’ve posted (I am so excited for those toasts!)
I am excited for the whole cookbook, to be honest. You’ve worked so hard and so long on this, I just know it’s going to be incredible!
But if I had to choose one section, I will go with the meatless chapter. I’ve reduced my meat intake and your recipes have really helped, they’re all amazing! Can’t wait for more.
Aaaah I cannot wait for September!
