The ever so talented Matt Armendariz’s new cookbook, “On a Stick” is so much fun.  I had the pleasure of spending some time in New Orleans with Matt and some other blogging friends a few weeks ago, what a treat that was!  He is as personable and sweet as he is talented.

There’s something about eating food on a stick that just makes everything better right?  It reminds me of being at the state fair with my sister eating whatever we could get our hands on that was on a stick     Three lucky Picky Palate readers will win Matt’s new book.  Be sure to check it out on Amazon.com!

You must also go check out Matt’s blog, “Matt Bites.” He is one of the most talented photographers and his recipes are gorgeous and completely drool worthy. Can not begin to say how excited I am to be working with Matt on my cookbook photography this summer.  How lucky am I?

Here are some gorgeous photos from Matt’s Book courtesy of Quirk Books.
