Half Baked Harvest Super Simple

Half Baked Harvest Super Simple is hands down one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever owned! The recipes truly live up to the “super simple” promise—easy to follow, minimal fuss, and packed with flavor. I love that Tieghan focuses on approachable ingredients you can find at any grocery store, yet the dishes come out tasting like something from a high-end restaurant. The photos are absolutely stunning and make you want to cook every single recipe. I’ve already made several dishes, and each one has been a hit with my family—delicious, comforting, and quick enough for busy weeknights. The step-by-step directions are clear, and I really appreciate the helpful tips sprinkled throughout. Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting out, this cookbook is a must-have. It makes cooking at home feel inspiring, fun, and totally doable. I’m excited to keep trying more recipes—it’s the kind of cookbook you’ll reach for again and again!

This is my go to cookbook! I cook out of it multiple times a week and gift it to others. There’s a wide array of foods and it offers substitutions. My son is allergic to dairy and I can always swap things out with these recipes. I have cooked through most of the book and I found it to be simple, but always delicious! The author offers an anecdotal story to go along with each recipe, and the actual directions are easy to follow and we well organized. I have go two recipes from this book that I cook for guests. Brussels sprouts, in the form of Cacio e Pepe, delicious soups, and quick and easy breads. You can’t go wrong.

Great cookbook. I have purchased so many cookbooks in the past with the same old tired recipes. This cookbook has given me some excitement! Simple yet fresh new recipes with great illustrations. This will be an often used book in my kitchen.

These are flavorful, but easy recipes that can either be prepared ahead of time in a slow cooker, or cooked quickly in the Instant Pot or Skillet. They will put weeknight dinners on the table that are family friendly. She uses commonly found ingredients. One of the nice things is that she has a chapter on some basics you can prep and keep (Pancake Mix, Everything Bagel Spice, lemon basil Pesto). There are chapters for every meal, and a vegetarian chapter.

“Half Baked Harvest Super Simple” is a delightful cookbook packed with over 125 approachable, flavorful recipes for everyday meals, from quick comfort foods to meal-prepped options. The photography and layout are visually engaging, making it enjoyable to browse even when not cooking. Beyond its content, the book works beautifully as a décor piece—perfect for kitchen countertops, coffee tables, or shelves—adding both culinary inspiration and visual charm. Whether you’re a home chef or looking for style and function in your cookbook collection, this book is a standout addition.

What a gorgeous book! This is the 2nd release from Half Baked Harvest (AKA Tieghan Gerard) that I’ve purchased – the other being Half Baked Harvest Cookbook: Recipes from My Barn in the Mountains. What initially got me hooked on her website, social media, and now books, are the gorgeous photographs and incredible effort put forth into each and every recipe, layout, and design. It’s the total package that makes you drool every time you peruse the pages. I’ll admit to being plant-based (except for fish… yes, yes, it’s called pescatarian, but I didn’t want the uniformed to think I was bringing religion into this discussion lol… you either get it or you don’t, it’s called a ‘dad joke’), so there are a number of recipes that do I will never eat… sorry Quick Filipino Adobo… sorry Spiced Lamb Hummus… sorry Dry-Rubbed Grilled Steak. Buttttttt….. HELLO The Meanest, Greenest Pizza… HELLO Lemon Basil Pasta with Balsamic Brussels Sprouts…. and I certainly couldn’t forget about you Black Pepper Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and your delicious ranch side sauce - get in my belly! The contents and pages are broken down as follows: The Basics (15) Breakfast + Brunch (23) Appetizers + Sides (47) Salad + Soup (77) Pizza + Pasta (107) Vegetarian (135) Pork + Poultry (165) Beef + Lamb (199) Seafood + Fish (221) Dessert (241) I do appreciate the section dedicated to vegetarians. My only real complaint is that I wish there were more plant-based options or recipes that it was easy enough to make the meat optional and this is why I deducted one star. It just seems like part of the target audience is the plant based crowd, so it would be helpful to make it slightly more user friendly for them. What differentiates this book from her other one is that this is focused on making your life slightly easier by taking the time and difficulty out of cooking. The majority of the recipes are tailored to Instant Pots/Crock-Pot, overnight, meal-prepping, and overall ease of use. I’d consider this a great companion book to pair with the first release of slightly more complicated, time intensive recipes… hence the title, Super Simple. The guidance is straight-forward, obviously the pictures are beautiful, instructions make sense, and it’s all presented/laid out in an intelligent fashion, at least in my opinion. A few of my favorites aside from the ones mentioned above are the Autumn Harvest Salad (84), Butter-Roasted Tomato Soup with Honey’d Brie Grilled Cheese (103), and the Maple Glazed Cardamom Apple Fritters (40). Check out her blog, check out her Instagram, and sign up for the emails. Get hungry, get excited.

This book helped me overcome my fear of yeast! 😂 I never seemed to make a successful loaf of bread but, the No-Knead Bread and Pizza Dough recipe was a triumph! Easy to follow, doesn't take too much time to prepare and bake. I used non-alcoholic beer as a substitute for regular beer and it turned out great! Ive probably made at least 5 loaves in two weeks. They are a hit with friends and family! The other recipes in this book are just as easy and just as delicious. Cannot recommend enough!

Love the recipes and photography. Would make a beautiful house warming gift. Only thing is that all measurements are imperial as author is US based, just adds time (& sometimes confusion) to convert.

Commande reçue en avance ! Je suis ravie

I LOVE the recipes in here, I’ve had this book for over two years and open it all the time. Yummy original recipes, healthy and something for everyone. Highly recommend

Best cooking book I ever purchases!

Lo compramos para la novia de mi hijo y ha sido un acierto. Ya han probado algunas de las recetas y son muy faciles de preparar. Ademas le ha servido para practicar el ingles.
