As one of seven children, Tieghan Gerard grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, before moving to the mountains of Colorado in her early teens. 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 reign in the chaos of her big family, Tieghan found her comfort zone in the kitchen, discovering a newfound freedom and a creativity she hadn’t known existed. She began chronicling her fresh takes on old favorites and coupling them with her styling skills—only this time on tables and cutting boards—on her blog Half Baked Harvest. Since then, millions of people have fallen in love with her unique recipes, stunning photography, and charming life in her barn, high up in the snowcapped mountains.
In HALF BAKED HARVEST COOKBOOK: Recipes from My Barn in the Mountains (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; September 12, 2017; $29.99; Hardcover), Tieghan gives us her version of comfort food by adding brightness, texture, and fresh wholesome ingredients. Each recipe has a little something extra: 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). Tieghan showcases the creativity that’s become her signature on her mega-popular and award-winning blog with more than 125 all-new recipes, each one joined by a striking photograph. Recipes include:
- BREAKFAST: Fancy Toast, Eight Ways; Sesame Bagels with Avocado, Burrata, and Raspberries; Croque Madame Breakfast Pizza; Salted Brioche Cinnamon Rolls
- APPETIZERS & SNACKS: PB & J Grilled Cheese; Provolone and Salami Phyllo Rolls; Guacamole 101; Grilled Corn and Basil Salad
