Owners of Charleston cafes The Harbinger and Harken are releasing a cookbook that will feature 40+ of the cafes’ beloved recipes.

This debut cookbook features signature dishes, from salads to those iconic cookies. Beyond the dishes, co-owner and head chef Greer Gilchrist mixes in bits of her story, offering readers a deeper connection to her creative culinary vision.

“My hope is that these recipes become as beloved to readers as they are to me — finding their way into family dinners, celebrations, and everyday moments. This cookbook is a way to relive our favorites and bring a piece of our bakeries home,” Gilchrist said in a press release.

“The Harbinger & Harken Cookbook” doesn’t officially launch until Thursday, May 8, but you can secure your book today, thanks to a pre-sale. After that, you’ll be able to find the cookbook in the cafes, on The Harbinger and Harken websites, on Amazon, and in select Charleston bookstores.
