This Will Make It Taste Good: A New Path to Simple Cooking
“I wrote this book to inspire you, and I promise it will change the way you cook, the way you think about what’s in your fridge, the way you see yourself in an apron.”
Vivian returns with an essential work of home-cooking genius that makes simple food exciting and accessible, no matter your skill level in the kitchen. Each chapter of This Will Make It Taste Good is built on a flavor hero — a simple but powerful recipe that brighten, deepen, and define your food.
This book is a perfect companion piece to the Vivian Howard & Haand Collection, and each one is signed by Vivian!

FAQs
How did you pick the name Haand?
When we started Haand, we knew that it was going to be an unusual company, slightly off-kilter, because we believed in making things by hand in the 21st century. Simultaneously strange and familiar, it is a knowable, recognizable and comfortable word. Haand itself is an archaic word for hand dating back many centuries to Norway. A word from the past, pronounced "hand".
Does your pottery contain any harmful ingredients?
All of our products are 100% lead free and meet all FDA criteria for tableware. We intentionally fire our porcelain to the same temperatures of fine industrial porcelain, and follow strict guidelines for selecting colorants and glazes with the intention of creating a safe, ethically sourced product that you can proudly and joyfully use.
