Tieghan Gerard grew up in the Colorado mountains as one of seven children. When her dad took too long to get dinner on the table every night, she took over cooking for her family--at age 13. A rule-follower by nature, she realized that the kitchen was the one place where she felt free to play around and express her creativity. She found a true knack for creating interesting flavor combinations.

Now, in The Half Baked Harvest Cookbook, Tieghan showcases the creativity that's become beloved on her mega-popular blog with brand-new recipes that are flexible, feel-good, and simply yummy. She turns comfort food on its ear by bringing brightness, texture, and fresh ingredients to it. As Tieghan does, these are the dishes readers will want to share with their loved ones time and time again.
