H<\/span>ave you seen the new cookbook<\/a><\/span> by Tieghan Gerard? Order it; it’s fantastic! I started following her blog Half Baked Harvest a while ago., and it’s now one of my favorite blogs.<\/p>\n

What drew me to the blog initially was her exquisite food photography. She’s masterful at making you want to try the recipes she creates. Each recipe whether it’s a classic or a new creation, has a twist to it which raises the bar and adds a deliciousness to it.<\/p>\n

As soon as I saw it was available, I grabbed it. Inside, Tieghan tells her story of how she became a foodie and blogger. But you’ll find more details about her, including her barn renovation and family life, on her website<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Accompanying each recipe is an antidote to what inspired her to create it. She includes childhood memories, family recipes, and insight into her cooking style. Of course, being a book blogger, I wanted to try the Apple Pie recipe, which referred to the Harry Potter Book series. \u00a0Now I plan on making it for Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

\"Half<\/p>\n

However, it’s not only desserts. This book has a broad range of recipes to choose from. It’s divided into sections, making finding a recipe in each category easy. There’s Pasta & Grains, Beef & Lamb, Seafood or Appetizers & Snacks, to name a few. The Breakfast section looks amazing!
There’s also a section called “How to Cook with This Book.” Here Tieghan gives suggestions on cooking tools and how she stocks her pantry.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

So, let’s talk about the Salted Treacle Butter Apple Pie recipe I tried. One word — Outstanding!<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Check out my pictures because this is the best-looking apple pie I’ve ever made. Not that I’m a pie connoisseur, but I have baked a few, and this one gets an A+ for presentation.<\/p>\n

With this cookbook, Tieghan inspires you to have some fun in the kitchen and use your creativity.<\/p>\n

She does assume you have some cooking experience but will give you an easier alternative when necessary. With the apple pie, she includes directions for a homemade pie crust or using a ready-made one. She also gives you a recipe for homemade ice cream, but of course, I skipped that one and went for the store-bought! I’m sure the homemade was over the top.<\/p>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this cookbook. \u00a0It would make the perfect gift for your foodie friends and family! I look forward to trying more of Teigan’s recipes and dazzling my\u00a0guests.<\/p>\n

Happy reading,<\/h3>\n
