Cooking and baking are two of my favorite hobbies. I hesitated on buying another cookbook but am so glad I decided to after reading many reviews. I have made the banana muffins, brownies, and turkey meatballs with pasta and they were all so easy to make and delicious! I will be making the orange chicken tomorrow. She uses ingredients that I wouldn't have thought to use in certain recipes like using ricotta cheese in the Turkey meatballs. Also uses honey instead of sugar in a lot of recipes which I think is healthier.

First I admit I haven't tried any of the recipes yet...I just got the book! However, I am so impressed that I had to write a review. This is probably the most beautiful cookbook I have received and, believe me, I have bought many over the years. The quality of the paper is very high and the photos make me want to take long walks in that beautiful place. I have read through the recipes and can't wait to try them!

So far I have made two recipes, I love how simple the ingredients are and how many different flavor profiles all the meals have!

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.

I’ve made several recipes from this cookbook and they never disappoint. Some are very simple and some are more intermediate with their ingredients. I would definitely purchase this for a gift
