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!

Cookbook has some great recipes AND there are 3 different ways to cook so many of them; stove top, pressure cooker and slow cooker, great options. Yummy recipes with 'normal' ingredients.

“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.

I have a confession. I own a respectable collection of cookbooks. Since I enjoy cooking, I added an Instant Pot to my collection of gadgets. This cookbook came into my radar as a possible resource for Instant Pot recipes. Let me just say, this cookbook exceeded my expectations. Not only does this cookbook include recipes for the Instant Pot fan, but the recipes, themselves, offer a wide variety of tastes and seasonal delights. Don't own an Instant Pot? No problem! Gerard offers alternate methods to achieve results that will not disappoint. She presents the Instant Pot as a tool among many. Not a requirement, but an enhancement. There is something for everyone. All delicious. All easy to follow. The pictures, alone, are delicious. Wish I could give this cookbook 10 stars! Highly recommend!

Bought this for my niece, and she loved it. Very basic recipes with a little flair. Loved the basic bread dough, pizza dough, etc recipes. The pictures are so pretty that if she doesn't want to use it in the kitchen, she could set it on her coffee table!

The media could not be loaded. 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.
