About Harbinger & Harken Cookbook:
After nearly a decade in business, the team behind The Harbinger and Harken cafes have decided to curate a cookbook of their most popular recipes, thanks to the overwhelming support from loyal customers and visitors alike. The new Harbinger & Harken Cookbook has 40 of the team’s most popular recipes, such as the Best Friend cookie and the Great Dane coffee cake.
Gilchrist is the team’s chef de cuisine and the mastermind behind the company’s unique recipes and thoughtful ingredients. Many recipes are derived from Gilchrist’s childhood favorites and memories, with delightful nostalgic stories, as told in Gilchrist’s dry, quick-witted voice. If readers haven’t had the chance to visit one of the cafés, they can expect recipes that combine unexpected ingredients, vibrant flavors, and savory delights. The cookbook also boasts salads, sandwiches, lattes, cookies, and other homemade favorites, such as their popular dressings, toppings, and frostings.
“This cookbook is so much more than just a cookbook; it was a love letter to our cafés and the recipes that our customers have come to know and love,” said Greer Gilchrist, co-owner of Harbinger and Harken. “I relived some of my favorite memories in the kitchen and the adventurous moments Cameron and I have been through while building these spots.”
