Tieghan Gerard began cooking at the age of 15, preparing dishes for her five picky brothers, one little sister, and two busy parents in Cleveland, Ohio. As she simmered and sautéed, she discovered her culinary passion and began honing her expert photography skills. Within no time, she put away the cookbooks and developed her own recipes. And in 2012 her blog, Half Baked Harvest, was born as was her millennial authority status in the foodie world.
