Half Baked Harvest Super Simple

This cookbook is great if you want good food without a lot of extra effort. Half Baked Harvest Super Simple really does make things feel easier and more realistic for everyday cooking. The recipes are straightforward and don’t require a ton of ingredients or complicated steps. There are lots of one-pot meals, quick dinners, and a few make-ahead options, which is perfect for busy nights. I also like that there’s a good mix of comfort food, lighter meals, and some vegetarian options. What I appreciate most is that the food still feels special, even though it’s simple. These are the kinds of meals you can make for your family during the week but also feel good serving to guests. Overall, this is a very approachable, practical cookbook. If you like Half Baked Harvest but want recipes that are quicker and less complicated, this one is an easy recommendation.

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.

This cookbook LITERALLY changed my life. I became a first time mom shortly before buying Half Baked Harvest last year. At the time I could barely put together a hamburger helper meal and all around felt lousy and discouraged in the kitchen. My mom gave me a few of our family recipes to learn that I knew we liked, but also insisted I should pick out a cookbook and keep trying new recipes to help get me going instead of relying on free internet searches for dinner. I bought this one on a whim because the food looked yummy and instructions not too overwhelming. AND WOW. Every. Single. Recipe. Has been a banger. The first words out of my husband's mouth are always "SO much flavor!" when he tries a bite. I know this won't be everyone's experience because I was so new to cooking, but it really made me feel more confident about learning recipes and trying new meals. The experience has opened my eyes to how fun making dinner can be. I feel like now I can actually relate to my friends who enjoy putting together a meal for their families or take pride in making food for others. I'm already planning on gifting a copy to my sister for her birthday, and to anyone else who shows an interest in learning how to cook. Thank you Ms. Gerard!!! In our little family you're a celebrity <3

The name of this cookbook speaks for itself: Super Simple. The book is my go-to when I do not have much time, but I still want to cook at home. This cookbook is perfect for you & worth every penny if you are: * new to cooking and looking for simple but yummy recepies * looking for a cookbook to use on a weakly basis * looking to feed a family but have a limited time * experinced cooks who are interested in classic recepies with a fun twist * in love with Half Baked Harvest blog I have been following Tieghan on Instagram for about a year and she shares many recepies on her blog. When I was considering buying this book, I had some debates if it was worth it, since her blog is already filled with wonderful recepies. After many days of debating, reading reviews, and going back and forth, I finally decided to get the book. What I truly love about this cookbook is that I can see myself making every single one of the dishes. There are many cookbooks you buy and you are only interested in maybe 10 recipes, the rest is just meh or way too complicated. However, it is not the case with the Half Baked Harvest cookbook. There is a very good balance of the recepies. Every section has a variety of yummy creations that you should try making. The book is so versatile it would work for any season. There was one thing that I have had some issues with is desserts. I am not sure if it is me, but every dessert that I made based on the cookbook, came out a bit off. When I was making a strawberry naked cake, my cake came out way too thick, and I had cream leftover, so I covered the entire cake with cream instead of leaving it open. The peach cobbler had way too much liquid. And banana bunt cake was a bit tough. I followed the recipe exactly and use proper measurements but it still does not come out exactly as on the picture. Don't get me wrong everything was still very delicious! My suggestion would be for more complicated recepies to have a section with what might go wrong and how to prevent it. In conclusion, Half Baked Harvest Super Simple is a book that was made with love and care. Beautiful illustration, heart-filling stories, and wide variety of recepies will submerge you in a wonderful world of Tieghan Gerard.

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.

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.

i just wanted to get into cooking more lately and i needed some simple things to start off! this has very nice and easy baked goods! i’m 18 and i love the aesthetic of the book too it makes my home!

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.
