The Harvest Baker by Ken Haedrich

The Harvest Baker: Sweet and Savory Baked Goods Made with Fresh Vegetables and HerbsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars

I try to eat healthy, but I fail miserably way too often. I love books like this that give you great, easy recipes to incorporate fruits, vegetables and herbs into your baking.

The Harvest Baker gives you 150 sweet and savory recipes celebrating fresh produce, and it’s a winner! Don’t make boring popovers again, spice them up with Herbed Parmesan Popovers! Tweak your biscuit routine with either Sweet Potato Buttermilk Biscuits or Mashed Potato Biscuits. There’s even a recipe for Everything Biscuits, combining your the flavors of biscuits and the everything bagel.

Yeast breads come into their own with everything from Great American Potato Bread to Shaker Fresh Herb Bread with Walnuts, Herb and Veggie Flourpot Bread, Mushroom, Spinach and Blue Cheese Stuffed Baguette and so much more.

Pizzas get a new spin with flavors such as Potato Bacon and Blue Cheese Pizza, Roasted Cauliflower Pizza or Roasted Winter Squash Pizza. There are also great calzone recipes as well as stuffed breads.

Pies get a new look with flavors such as Zucchini Taco Pie, Creamy Buffalo Chicken, Tomato and Corn Pie, and Collard, Quinoa and Sausage Dinner Pie with Sesame Seeded Crust, to name a few. Don’t miss the Spiced Beef Pot Pie with Winter Vegetables!

The Harvest Baker is a treasure trove of recipes to delight both the baker, and the fresh produce lover. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I did!

I received a copy of this book from Storey Pubishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
