Oh boy, this is quite fun to see my cookbook that I’ve been working on for almost 2 years come to life this week! Today is the official release date which means you can purchase it in various stores and order it online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million.
For those of you who pre-ordered the book on Amazon, you have received it already. It has been so much fun seeing Instagram photos of you receiving the book in the mail, makes me smile 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing your pictures!
I’ll never forget the months while I was cooking and baking recipes like a mad woman preparing for the book back in 2010/early 2011. I was in a tiny Newport Beach kitchen and ingredients were flying everywhere, lol! It was fun, exhausting and exciting all at the same time. I remember thinking, I can’t believe I am going to have my own cookbook. Now, it’s really here! All of that sweat and hard work has paid off and I finally get to share those recipes I’ve kept secret for so long 🙂
Another highlight for me through this journey was watching Matt Armendariz and Adam Pearson photograph and style my cookbook. They are so unbelievably talented and made my recipes look just as incredible as they taste. I won’t ever forget being able to watch them in action.
I feel so grateful to work with an amazing agent and team at Wiley, they have made this experience so special.
I hope you will all enjoy my book, the recipes were made with lots of love and I assure you they are incredible!! There are over 100 new recipes you can’t find on Picky Palate 🙂 Enjoy!!
Here’s a sneek peek at my Skillet Baked Mac and Cheese recipe!

Who doesn’t want to write their own cookbook? If I ever did one, it would be about desserts. I’m ok with savory stuff, but desserts are my specialty!
I would like to write one just for my family of recipes we enjoy. Congrats!!!

I did write a cookbook- though it just went to my family! My sister’s were always askingme for recipes so I put together all of my favorite recipes and had it printed- except my chili – that one is top secret!
Yummy! Congratulations!!! Following a recipe would be as far as I could go for now! 😉
Congratulations Jenny!
If I wrote a cookbook I’d want it to be favorite family recipes.

Congratulations for your cook book Jenny!
This must feel amazing!

I can follow a recipe, but I stink at coming up with new ones. There is no way I would be capable of writing a cookbook!
I would love to write a cookbook! I would do a fall cookbook. It would include traditional fall recipes like soups and chili’s. It would also have a lot of pumpkin dessert recipes. I would also include a vegan/gluten free section.
I would love to also do a cookbook and mine would be a variety of recipes. They would prob be mostly homecooking style like Paula Deen and Trisha Yearwood. Congratulations and plan on buying extras for Christmas gifts.
Congratulations! And thanks for the sneak peek. I’m addicted to all things mac & cheese and that looks divine. 🙂

Major congrats, Jenny! Can only imagine how AWESOME this is seeing it come to life and I bet watching Matt & Adam in action was just…the best ever! I remember your posts last summer? or last spring? Long time ago! But when you went to their studio and there were some sneak peaks. Totally awesome.
To the question: Yes, Desserts!
