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!

Super excited for all the breakfast recipes! It’s my favorite meal of the day and I love trying new things.
I can’t wait for your cookbook to come! I make 2-3HBH recipes a week on average so this so exciting! I’m most excited about any new bowl recipes you have!!
This is so exciting! I love finding recipes on your blog and trying them out. I’m most excited about the new recipes and I’m looking forward to adding a few more dishes to my main meals.
I’m also excited to add a real cookbook to my shelf. As a graduate student I don’t own any cookbooks because they’re a little expensive and I don’t have a lot of space to keep them, but even if I don’t win this giveaway I will end up buying this book! Thank you so much for the opportunity and for sharing your recipes!
Congratulations Tieghan! I hope this new adventure will bring you much success and many more new opportunities to advance your career. I wish you all the best!
I have loved your blog and recipes for several years, and I can’t wait to get a copy of your new cookbook! I am planning on buying several copies for gifts as well.
I’m excited for more recipes with avocado! I love that you feature avocados so much!!
I’m so excited about your book. Around Christmas I received Cake-In-A-Crate from Bob’s Red Mill and your recipe for Maple Coconut Caramel Macaroons was inside. I can’t tell you how WONDERFUL these natural ingredient treats taste. I just had to find out more about Tieghan Gerard, the gal behind this recipe. Congrats on the book! Can’t wait to see more.
Ridiculously excited for more crock pot recipes from you, Tieghan!
(Your crock pot Sunday Sauce is one of the best things I’ve ever made. 🙂
Ever since discovering your blog through Foodgawker, I have visited your site weekly, sometimes daily, to see what amazing creations you’ve come up with.
Congratulations on the cookbook, you deserve all the success that is coming your way.

I absolutely never win in this kinds of things but it´s worth a shot to at least tell you how excited I am that you are publishing and how proud I am of you, I visit the blog daily since the beginning, I remember that I once commented that I had it set to my starting page. I´ve had short conversations with you over the comment sections and made many of your recipes, so it kind of feels very personal! And I´m very excited about the new recipes and I´m sure the photos will be gorgeous and make for an amazing book to display on my kitchen.
¡Best of luck T!
Hey Teighan,
It’s so exciting that you will have a calling card in your cookbook! I’ll be purchasing the book nonetheless, but wanted to comment on how much your recipes have changed dinner time in my household. Before I found Half Baked Harvest, we ate a lot of fried chicken cutlets and roasted potatoes.. it was quick, easy and something we were accustomed to. Since then though, I have been collecting new recipes in a binder we keep in our kitchen for inspiration and about 80% of those recipes come right from this blog. Whenever my husband tastes something delicious, he says “that Half Baked Harvest really knows how to create a recipe.” Last night we had your Chicken Cordon Bleu – it was beautiful enough to Instagram (so I did). Something that sounds so fancy and unattainable, was so easy and delicious thanks to you. Other staples of ours have been in the form of your slow cooker recipes. I never knew you could do ribs in a slow cooker, but the way they fall of the bone and that apricot bbq sauce – yum! Your one pot meals are so great for working folks like myself as well – your oven fried chicken with the honey bourbon sauce (that I keep in a mason jar in the freezer to use with everything from bbq nachos to steak) and the lemon salsa verde chicken are recipes I have shared with my sister and mom who both now make it. What’s also incredible is the ease in which to adapt your recipes to things that work in our home – you never have to BUY too many things to make the dishes. So THANK YOU for everything you have taught anew to me and my family and for bringing delicious, simple cooking into our home. Best of luck. Ashley
eeeek so exciting! the cover is beautiful 🙂
as a vegetarian, of course i’m excited for the meatless chapter…but i gotta say, as an intense lover of breakfast/brunch, i’m pumped for those recipes too!
Hi Tieghan,
This book looks amazing! I have been reading all your posts since last year and I love them. You are a huge idol for me because you do what you are really passionate about. I have just started a blog and your photos, and your excitement for the recipes are so inspiring for me. I am really excited about the desserts ( I am a sweet fanatic :D) but since I started to read your blog I am more and more into cooking too. So I am excited about the pasta recipes too but basicly I can’t wait to see the whole book!
The salmon with lemon butter sounds fantastic!
Thanks Jennifer!
I am most excited about that decadent salted caramel chocolate cookie. Oh My Gosh! Really I look forward to all the new recipes as well. The photos look amazing and the cover is enticing. I wish you all the best as you move forward with the release!
I am Very excited about the “sweet eats” chapter as I really want to learn how to perfect the home baked cake… and like you and your family…chocolate is my favourite!! But also… DYING to make the cover of cookbook recipe! Looks like my dream bowl! 🙂 LOVE your photos!
I am totally thrilled to get a hold of a copy! Love, love, love me a good cookbook! I have no doubt that it will be one of my treasured cookbooks!
