Half Baked Harvest Every Day: Recipes for Balanced, Flexible, Feel-Good Meals: A Cookbook

Beautiful photos; interesting, delicious food
I own too many cookbooks. For real. But I’ve moved a few off my kitchen bookshelf to make room for this one and her other one too. Most of the recipes are relatively simple, weeknight friendly cooking. In the first week I made the spicy noodles (definitely something I’ll keep in the rotation), the gyros (using leftover lamb but following the rest of the recipe) and the banana chocolate chip pancakes with maple cinnamon butter (an over-the-top family breakfast for sure)..but I have post-it notes on many more recipes that I want to try. Both the noodles and the gyros were just as delicious leftover as they were the night I made them. The photos are inspiring, the recipes always have interesting twists even when they are more traditional dishes. The roasted garlic tzatziki (for the gyros) was amazing. No really exotic ingredients, although a few have things I don’t usually keep in my pantry, but will start to from now on…so basically new “discoveries” for me that I am enjoying.

I love Half Baked Harvest!
I have been following Tieghan on Instagram for a few years. I heard of her after being sent her recipes by friends on multiple occasions. I’ve made several of her dishes and some I have on repeat in my kitchen. My husband loves when I cook one of her specialties! They are so good and comforting. I love her flavors and combination of meat and vegetarian recipes. There is a good mix of dishes, some rather simple and some complex or time consuming which is awesome since I’m human and don’t always want to cook and sometimes I want to go all out. Some of the recipes are brand new and others variations of what I’ve seen on her site. I appreciate this because sometimes it’s a bit deflating when you get a new cookbook and zero recipes peak your interest or just seem too out there or complicated to start. Having a handful of her classic Half Baked Harvest dishes with a twist on these beautiful pages makes all the difference. It just hits different cooking dinner with a beautiful book and inspiring image on your countertop rather than on your tiny iPhone that you have to unlock every 10 seconds with dirty hands because the screen just has to go black when you’re mid cooking haha. Tieghan is also a beautiful photographer (and videographer!!) and food stylist so this cookbook will not disappoint with its delicious recipes and beautifully inspiring accompanying images!!

So many Great recipes!
I have only had this cookbook a handful of days, yet everything I have made from it has been spectacular! Tonight was Coq au Vin blanc meatballs- so much richness of flavors. Made a simple side salad to go with it and we were all full and very satisfied and enjoyed it immensely.Made sheet pan French toast yesterday, and even my husband, who is limiting his carbs, enjoyed it greatly.Did the double apple durch baby for a dessert a couple of nights ago, and it was almost crepe like in its delicacy and so flavorful.First day I received this book, I made the saucy garlic peanut noodles. Talk about delicious! Even my grand child, who normally likes basic stuff, said it was very good.I really like her ingredients- such as raw honey and maple syrup in place of sugar. ( small amounts used of them ) and the use of veggies and combinations. ( case in point, the peanut noodles ). She explains that if you don’t have a certain ingredient, you can easily substitute it. But most ingredients used are what people have on hand in their pantry or fridge. I really am enjoying her recipes thus far and so is my family. I am even thinking of getting a couple of extra copies as gifts!

Pictures accompanying pretty much every recipe. Everything looks delicious and cooked the first recipe from here last night which didn’t disappoint. Love how the book structured with meal suggestions but then also main food category (chicken, beef, vegetarian,, fish etc)

This is it. This is the cookbook. I have a rich collection of recipe books, and this one outshines the majority of them. It’s everything I could want in a cookbook. These recipes are creative, simple but with the perfect amount of complexity, healthy and most importantly, flavourful. They are very well-balanced and I’m thrilled that she has more so I can purchase those as well.
