Half Baked Harvest Cookbook: Recipes from My Barn in the Mountains

This cookbook is a great resource for any home cook, both for those who already know HBH and those discovering Tieghan for the first time. I stumbled across HBH a few years ago looking for a beer bread recipe and have been following Tieghan's blog ever since. I've enjoyed everything I made off her blog, so I pre-ordered this hoping to find more of the same amazing, crave-able, doable variety plus great photos of every dish. Unsurprisingly, Teighan exceeded my expectations. The HBH cookbook contains the same mix of healthy and decadent offerings, ranging from meat-y and cheese-y to vegetarian, as the blog does. At first glance, I thought there were a number of recipes that overlapped with the blog, but actually they've all been tweaked (updated? improved?) a little. That 5-ingredient beer bread which first won me over is here, in a different (and better) iteration as a honey beer bread. It tastes even better than the original. The cheesy quinoa bake from her blog is here but again, slightly different (and possibly a little healthier). Similar story for the French onion soup (now Irish French onion soup). The only obvious exceptions are items like the butter chicken, which is on her blog to feature this cookbook release. So far, I've made that beer bread, the amazing corn and blueberry salsa, the BBQ short ribs, the ginger-miso eggplant, and the miso beef and ramen noodle stir-fry (I didn't cook my steak quite as long as she cooks hers). Everything has been exceptional, well-balanced, and totally approachable for any one interested in cooking at home. You'll need some pretty standard spices, and perhaps a bit of patience for long and slow cooking, but otherwise there are no fancy ingredients or expensive kitchen items required to pull these recipes together. Tieghan has a great voice, and interesting story, and shares recipes full of bold flavor that have been clearly well-tested.

Love this cookbook. Every recipe I’ve tried has been delicious. I bought this one as a gift. The recipient was so excited to get it and is looking forward to trying the recipes.

This is such an amazing cookbook! I've followed Tieghan's blog for a few years and always enjoyed her recipes and this cookbook is no exception. I've cooked 5 or 6 of the recipes so far and they've all turned out great. The butter chicken actually tastes like it came from a restaurant; I usually find that homemade indian dishes never have quite the same spice taste. One of my favorites is the Wild rice and Havarti stuffed acorn squash. It is to DIE for and really quite easy to put together. We will definitely be eating this again. The pizza with the brie was a combination I did not think I'd like (it sounded weird), but it turned out really well. I already have the ingredients to cook it again. I made the Earl Gray muffins for a brunch and got so many compliments on them! There is a nice range of vegetarian and meat recipes as well as some sea food recipes that look pretty good (I'm not a huge seafood fan). I will say the desserts are mostly chocolate based so that may or may not be a plus for someone. Every recipe has the most beautiful photos to go along with it. There are some nice little excerpts before the recipes that talk about the ingredients or the inspiration for the dish. Many of the recipes suggest substitutions for meat or ingredients or alternative cooking methods. I look forward to cooking more recipes and hopefully seeing another of her cookbooks in the future!

Love this cook book.

Love the look of these cook books. They are durable and easy to read and use. The page quality and book is very nice. . But to be honest I haven't made anything from this book it's more of a dust collector or decorative piece for me lol

First off this is a beautiful cookbook! The photos are gorgeous! This book features amazing recipes that are easy to follow and practical for the every day at home cook. The recipes also feature fresh, whole ingredients that are easy to come by. The contents of the book is divided up by Breakfast, Appetizers, Pasta and Grains, Poultry and Pork, Seafood, Beef and Lamb, Meatless Meals, and finally Desserts! I appreciate that the author begins her book "The Beginning" which explains a bit of her history and how she got started. There is also a section with kitchen tool recommendations which is nice. An added bonus is in a lot of a recipes there is a little "note" which has extra tips for the reader such as being short or time, or an alternate meat, ect... I hope that this author comes up with a part 2 to this book as it has quickly become a staple to use and a pleasure to read! If you are on the hunt for a new cookbook this is defiantly one you should look at.

Love this cookbook. This cookbook has one of my favorite and most desired features when I'm purchasing a new cookbook: Each recipe has its own full-page sized photo of the dish to accompany it. Looking at food presented in beautiful and interesting ways is what makes me want to cook the dish for myself and this book truly delivers. This book is filled with unique and modern recipes that I truly want to try and hope to try in the future, especially when my garden begins to produce this summer. So far I've only made the Sunday Meatballs and they delivered both on ease and flavor. Just a pet peeve on this one though, instructions say to use a 9X13 dish but the photo shows it made in a skillet, please show it as instructed in the directions or change the directions to use a skillet. What I'm not a fan of though is that I don't see any estimated cook times on any of the recipes. When I'm flipping through a book trying to plan something for dinner I'd like to know about how long it is going to take me to make without having to read the entire recipe and do the math for myself. Also, lack of calorie counts, its one of those use your best judgement sort of situations, more cookbooks are going to this and I'm not on board with it.

Tieghan's recipes are next level. For each recipe, the list of ingredients is surprisingly short but is packed with real, pronounceable ingredients that you can find at nearly any grocery store. Her food is so flavorful and she manages to sneak at least one type of cheese into every dish (a girl after my own heart!). There aren't any new or advanced cooking techniques, but you may find yourself learning a new way to apply the tricks you already know. The photography is gorgeous as well - this book is pretty much on display in my kitchen at all times and our guests have been known to sit down and flip through just to look at the mouthwatering photos. While not every dish is suitable for a quick weeknight meal, many can be prepped in advance so actual assembly and cooking is fairly quick. It would be nice if there was an estimated timeframe at the top of the recipe, but I ended up reading through each one and simply writing in the prep/cook time info myself. This is a cookbook that I reach for time and time again - whether for regular weeknight dinners or special occasions, everything I have made from this cookbook gets rave reviews. Check out her blog (by the same name) as well; you won't regret it.

I purchased this for a friend and they absolutely love it. Kind of want to buy it for myself now.

Das Kochbuch hat wunderschöne Bilder, sieht sehr hochwertig aus und ist daher ideal als Geschenk meiner Meinung nach. Die Rezepte sind sehr kreativ und dabei gesund. Alles was ich bisher nachgekocht habe, war super lecker
