The Blogger Behind Half Baked Harvest Loves Lasagna, but Hates Air Fryers — Food Crush

Scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest, Tieghan Gerard's food photography is instantly recognizable. All the recipes she posts on her blog, Half Baked Harvest, are just so colorful and lush. I mean, peach and burrata pizza! Orzo-stuffed pesto zucchini! You're basically forced into cooking whatever she has on her site.

Gerard has been blogging about food for over five years now, but she's been cooking for her large family (she's one of seven kids!) since she was 15 years old. She says she gets a lot of her recipe inspiration from her family members (one of whom is an Olympic snowboarding champion), traveling, and the seasons (read: she loves vegetables). She recently came out with her first cookbook, Half Baked Harvest Cookbook, where she shares even more gorgeous recipes created in her barn in Colorado.

On a recent visit to New York, Gerard stopped by Kitchn's office to talk about the Instant Pot, her go-to recipes for feeding her family, and how food blogging has changed in the last five years.
