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…

A few things to note…
…there are a total of eight chapters: breakfast, snacks & appetizers, pasta & grains, poultry & pork, meat, seafood, (mostly) meatless, and desserts.
…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!

Hi Tieghan,
My friend Susan turned me on to your site about a week ago and I am hooked. Love the site and the few recipes I have already tried to my husbands delight. Seems you have a southern sensibility which is part of my great food heritage. You’ve gotten me excited about cooking again even though we had hot dogs and beans tonight. Tomorrow…..lobster and tomatoes! Then back to keto! I will be ordering your book now!
Thanks so much and I look forward to witnessing your continued success!
Patti M
Thanks so much for your kind message and making so many recipes Patti! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
Your recipes inspire me. I come from a family of Sicilian and Arabic all of which can cook amazingly well. I am a pastry chef, but I never fail to make recipes that make me happy. I am well versed in spices and flours as well as pots and pans etc. I recently went on a rave for Korean foods and could not stop buying ingredients. I also like breads, especially the Irish breads or loaves (amazingly high). So your cookbook will definitely whet my appetite. Thank you for offering. Looking forward to it!
Thanks so much for your kind message Carolyn! I hope you love the recipes and everything you make! xTieghan
I would be honoured to have one of your cookbooks. With most cookbooks I might have one recipe that I continue to make…so far out of the 8 recipe I’ve tried of yours I’ve remade 4 or 5 of them…that’s definitely the sign of good recipes.
Cheers happy cookin!
Diego
Thanks so much Diego!
I absolutely love the creativity behind these meals, the practicality and equally important the flavor of these meals. I have not met a recipe I have not liked. Thank you for bringing back culinary creativity to my kitchen!!
Thanks so much for your kind message Christina! xTieghan
So excited for your cookbook. I find your recipes so good and relatively easy. My husband has become a huge fan of HBH.

Where can I find nutritional information for the recipes?
Hi Nikki! I do not have the nutritional information for my recipes just yet, but am working on adding them! Some online food calculators work great at giving you an estimate of the calories and fats. I am so sorry about this!
Oh my the Assistant Principal at the school left this open on my computer knowing I like to eat healthy. So many ideas and recipes I will be trying. Thank you,
That is so great! Thank you!
I am looking forward to your wonderful sweets in the new cookbook. Also your photos are amazing! you make everything look so delicious.
Thank you so much Laura!

Just pre-ordered; I can’t wait to get it! I’ve been following and making your recipes for a long time and this is the icing on the cake 😉
Awesome! Thank you Maia!
Your recipes are always so flavorful and delicious…not to mention the pictures are GORGEOUS! I can always find new inspiration on your page and actually find something my picky husband will fall in love with. The one pot moroccan chicken with goat cheese and chickpeas is a favorite in my house. SOOO YUMMY! I can’t wait for your cook book!
Awh this is such a nice comment Emily (: So happy you can always find inspiration and something to make! Thank you so much Emily!
