Tieghan Gerard of Half Baked Harvest debuts bestselling cookbook

• Her book also debuted at No.1 this week on USA Today's bestsellers list, one of only six cookbooks to take the top spot in the ranking's nearly 30-year history, the publication noted.

What she's saying: This plant-forward, family-friendly cookbook reflects a more "polished" version of the award-winning recipe writer, she told Axios Denver in an earlier interview.

• "It's still so much of the recipes that you know and love … but just a little bit more of a grown-up version," she said.
