The Picky Palate Cookbook is Finally Here plus Giveaway

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!

    I read cookbooks like novels. They are one of my favorite Christmas gifts. Having said that, I don’t think I would write one. From bloggers, it looks like work, work, work, plus I would eat too much!

    Thank you for the chance to win your awesome cookbook. I would not like to write my own cookbook but would like to assemble one with friends recipes. I would include everything from appetizers to desserts!

  3. Alisa

    I would write a cookbook filled with comfort foods, especially all the yummy PA dutch recipes that I’ve learned from my mom.

  4. Sara H

    I would like to write a cookbook full of a variety of cajun recipes with simple ingredients.

  5. Allison C

    I don’t think I have the time or patience to write a cookbook right now. Maybe it would be something I would want to do later in life…and it would more than likely be a baking cookbook.

  6. Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche

    I’d LOVE to write a cookbook one day. It would be along the same theme as my blog – simple vegetarian recipes 🙂

  7. Hope @ With A Side Of Hope

    Congrats!! I would love to write a cookbook with quick and healthy recipes 🙂

  8. Barb McLaughlin

    I would love to write a cookbook of desserts!!! I’m not creative enough to think of my own recipes, though!

  9. Morgan Gardner

    I would love to write a cookbook for kid-friendly meals and snacks. Kids are so picky, yet it is important to help them make healthy choices. But on the other hand they are still kids, so a happy medium in neccessary!!!
