Sneak Peek: Picky Palate Cookbook
What a whirlwind of excitement the last few months have been. Behind the scenes of Picky Palate, late nights, early mornings, you name it, I have been creating dozens and dozens of new recipes for my very first cookbook that will be available mid 2012! I’ve wanted to blab about it for months, but wanted to wait until it was all official and make sure I wasn’t just dreaming this. The book will be published by Wiley and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it! I am working with the most incredible people and am learning so much through this journey.
I think back to when I started Picky Palate on a whim one evening, late 2007, not having the foggiest idea of what I was doing. I had recently discovered I had a talent in creating original recipes when in 2004, the start of my career—or I should say, hobby at the time—was born in competitive cooking around the nation with entering and becoming a finalist in Pillsbury Bake-off. If someone would have told me I would have a cookbook almost 5 years later from the start of Picky Palate, I would have thought they were nuts! I am so grateful for the incredible opportunities writing Picky Palate has brought me and am so grateful for all of you who pop in and support me! Thank you. I can honestly say I have my dream job.
I wanted to give you a little sneak peek at some of the recipes I’ve been working on for the book. You’ll be seeing recipes for my Homemade BBQ Chicken and Smoky Skillet Cornbread, my Homemade Apple Pie with the most incredible buttery flaky crust and my perfect Homemade Yellow Butter Birthday Cake with Chocolate Cream Frosting. I have found that the hardest thing about writing this book is having to wait to share all of the amazing recipes I’ve been creating. I want to jump on the computer and tell you all about them, lol! I guess that means it will all be worth the wait 
Thanks for letting me blab about this, I am so excited for this project and hope you are too! xoxo

Hi Joyce, Glad to have you here! Hope you enjoy
Can I put my order in now?
Hi Carole, I’ll let you know when you can put orders in
Thanks, have a great day!
Yippee! Congrats to you. I absolutely love your recipes and hate to admit how often I am cooking/baking from the Picky Palate (don’t want ya to think I am stalking
)
But really, when I see something fab from you I will ask my friends, did you see what Picky Palate has today?
Can’t wait to have my own copy! Make sure to put Fresno CA on your book signing schedule (although I would drive to So Cal and visit my fam just to get a signed copy)
So happy for you. Have a blessed day.
P.S. Are you by chance going to the Creative Estates conference?
Jenny
Thanks Jenny! So glad you are enjoying my recipes
I am not going to Creative Estates Conference as of now, what and where is it?
I am looking forward to adding your cookbook to my collection. What a thrill for you to be published. Many congratulations.
Congratulations Jenny. So nice to hear some good new these days. I’m very happy for you and look forward to adding you book to my collection. Job well done. I’m sure your book will make it on the best sellers list just like Ree Drummond. It is a pleasure to know of you and your blog.
Congratulations! I can’t wait for the book. I have so many recipes at home that I printed and they end up with spills and smudges, fold marks, tears.
I don’t usually buy cookbooks, they sit on the bookshelf unused, but I will definitely be buying yours as soon as its available. Love all your amazing concoctions. My hubby was so excited when I told him!
Congrats and Darn It! I was hoping to have that cake recipe by July 19th!!!!
Jenny, you rock! How awesome! I REALLY hope you’ll do a book signing tour, too! (I’m not far, just over the hills, in Vegas
)
