About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know I come from a big family. Crazy as it may be, my family recently grew, and I’m now one of EIGHT kids! My littlest brother, Oslo, arrived in 2020, and he is the greatest thing that came out of that whole year. While most of my siblings are scattered all over the place now, I’m still up in the mountains of Colorado. I live in a renovated log horse barn steps away from our separate studio barn, where I cook and shoot photos and generally stay busy. A lot of days, I’m on my feet all day cooking and testing new recipes. Other days, I race against the setting sun to get photographs of the finished dishes. And then there are the days I huddle in front of my pizza oven to keep cozy while catching up on emails and calls.
I do all this with my family just next door, which I love. They LOVE food, always have, and they are what started my cooking and keep me cooking—if only because they are constantly hungry! My little sister, Asher, and my brothers (whenever they roll through town) are constantly popping into the studio looking for something to eat. Somehow, no matter how busy I am, I can’t resist stopping what I’m doing to make them their favorite foods—that’s just what you do for the people you love!
But when my schedule overfills and stress sets in, taking care of myself is usually the first thing to go. And I bet the same is true for you. But it doesn’t have to be! No matter what else is going on, we all need to eat—every single day.
Food is, quite literally, fuel for life. So sometimes you need a quick sheet pan meal thrown together from whatever’s on hand, while other times you can leisurely enjoy both the cooking process and the meal. Sometimes you crave a clean, light, nutrientpacked dish, while other times you just want a big plate of something comforting. For me, the days are all different, but one thing is constant: I always want to be sure my loved ones and I are eating well.
To me, “eating well” means not only sustaining your body but also giving yourself what you feel you need. I am definitely NOT an expert on any sort of healthy eating. What I have learned, though, is that I care about how food makes me feel, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time stressing about it. I want to know where my food came from, what’s in it, and who made it. I want to feel good about what I eat without sacrificing flavor or overcomplicating the process. And that’s the approach I take in my cooking every single day: I aim to make food that is delicious, usually healthy, sometimes decadent, and always satisfying.
what “balance” means to me
We’re always hearing about the importance of “balanced meals.” I don’t disagree, but if you’re looking for rules and regulations on health, I’m afraid you’re in the wrong place. I’m not a nutritionist, and I would never want to tell you how you “should” be eating. For me, feel-good food is not about caloriecounting or restriction. But it IS about lots of flavor and satisfaction. That means cooking with plenty of good fat, reducing sugar when possible—or using natural sweeteners like honey, dates, and maple syrup—and, most important, using non-processed ingredients that are whole and real. The other piece I feel is equally important is to give my body what it wants. Some days that’s a heaping plate of hearty, well-seasoned, yummy vegetables, and some days it’s a bowl of cheesy, buttery, gooey noodles. That’s what balance is for me.
I set out to create a book that embodies the way I eat. I also wanted to give you guys more of what you’ve been asking for: the “healthy-ish” recipes I usually share on the blog at the start of each year. You—and I—want to eat those sorts of meals throughout the year, too, so I wanted to share more of them here. But my biggest hope is no matter what you’re looking for on any particular day, you will find something here that works for you. Whatever you’re feeling, that you can flip through the pages and find something super satisfying. And, of course, that some of these recipes will be on repeat in your kitchen!
I’ve organized the recipes by types of meals and ingredients. Some dishes are lightened-up versions of old favorites. Others are heavy on superfoods. If you’re all about clean living, that’s here. And if you just NEED chocolate cake, that’s here, too. (Spoiler alert: it’s really good . . .) Whenever possible, I’ve indicated where you can make a choice of ingredients. There’s tons of flexibility here, and you should feel empowered to make the decision that works for you. I do a lot of cooking “research” on my family—some of my most popular recipes have come from Creighton’s insane imagination or whatever Red is craving. They are all picky in their own ways, and believe it or not, so am I. So it’s very important for my recipes to be flexible and fun. Maybe the way I prepared a dish isn’t exactly how you want to eat it that day—that’s okay! You can leave out the cheese, use gluten-free pasta, add in more greens, or do whatever else sounds good. I’ve also given multiple options for how to cook some things, especially when it comes to the slow cooker and pressure cooker, since I know we don’t all have them (but those of us who do LOVE them).

About the author

As one of seven children, Tieghan Gerard grew up in Cleveland, Ohio before moving to the mountains of Colorado in her early teens. From a young age she dreamed of moving to LA and becoming a fashion stylist. But when Tieghan was fifteen, her only sister was born. Ever determined to rein in the chaos of her big family…and have dinner on the table before midnight…Tieghan began doing the cooking. She eventually discovered a new found 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, which she has made into her home, high up in the snow capped mountains.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024Great hostess, housewarming or Christmas gift. All of her recipes are great and easy to follow! She also always has a video of the recipe on her TikTok which is nice if I have questions. Her recipes are different from traditional cookbooks and offer a little something different to your table!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022I 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!!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025I love this cookbook and all of the balanced meals that are offered. I usually try to pick 2-3 new recipes to try each month and this book has everything from appetizers to breakfast to dinner and dessert. My favorite is how she writes personal anecdotes for each recipe :)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025I found myself eagerly adding items to my shopping list and adding recipes to my weekly menu plan. This is a book you'll want to keep.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025Excellent dinner/brunch/lunch ideas, some appetizer, soup and dessert options as well. The only minus would be the high calories of the dishes which did not correlate with the title of the cookbook ‘feel good meals’. Overall highly recommend to extend your home cooking to new horizons
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024So she has four books out now. A few years ago, I chose not to get the first one, just didn't like what I saw in the preview. So I got the second one. I did not care for it once I got it. With a subtitle including the term "Simple", I did not find the recipes simple at all. And did not like the book. But I liked the apparent sophistication of the recipes with the pics, and I really wanted to try something of hers that would actually be simple and fairly quick. So, more recently, I looked up her three other books. I did not like what I saw in the newest one. Supposedly "quick", the dishes just did not appeal to me. So I ordered the third one. I have not been disappointed. I have not made any of the recipes yet, but I have marked a good number of the recipes to try.
A few things that others are saying: "Repeats other recipes".. Mmm some, but then only slightly slipping in some other ingredient, but she switched out other ingredients as well. I did not see a lot of overlap with the 2nd and 3rd books. Perhaps she just made some of the recipes more simple? But overall, I didn't see this all that much.
"Too many photos of herself - as many as 27"... Again, didn't really see that all too much. No more than any other "celebrity" cook. There are, indeed, only 12 photos of her, and these are almost all on the (chapter) title pages. It seems more like an agent/marketing/publisher decision than her own, per se. For comparison, I have a Jamie Oliver cookbook that has 17 pics of himself in it. So, no big deal to me. I don't see it as an issue at all.
Now, it seems like she overcomplicates some things.. like using several pans when she need only remove something as simple as grilled onions, to a plate, and use the same pan for whatever comes next. I also find it strange that she has bread recipes and several things - from scratch - yet, calls for "canned tomatoes" in many of the dishes. Why? Why would I use canned tomatoes when I can use fresh tomatoes? I don't care if it's for the "juice" even, that's just GROSS! Every single recipe calls for "Pink Himalayan salt", again, why? I'm sure if someone wanted to use it, that they would. They don't need her to specify PHS for them. It doesn't matter if they use table salt, Redmond salt or Himalayan. Just put... "salt". We get it. We have a choice, stop pushing it. (I have, and use PHS, by the way. I just think it's stupid to specify it's use for no reason other than that's what she prefers). It's almost like she's trying to create healthy recipes. But there really is nothing healthy (or very little), in this book.
Overall though, I like a lot of the recipes. Despite all the weirdness.
