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’d like to do a family recipe book. I made one for my sister a few years ago and she loved it.
I follow your boards on Pinterest!
I always wanted to write a family cookbook, with my Grandma’s and Mom’s recipes mixed with my own. My Son bought me a pretty book with blank pages many years ago that I write recipes that I know my children would want someday.
If I wrote a cookbook, it would be full of deserts. 🙂
I liked you on Facebook.
I wouldn’t be able to write a cookbook, but I’d love to review recipes for someone else writing one!

Yeay for the cookbook! You must be grinning like a madwoman. I have no interest in writing a cookbook, not when there are already so many awesome ones out there. I can’t wait to add yours to the shelf!

Yes,I’d love to write a cookbook someday.And it should be about comfort cooking,my style(which means healthy and indulgence.Everything in moderation).Each recipe should go along with a story,all kinds of story.Either my story,other’s story,how I found it,or even a short fiction I created ralating to the recipe.
And also,my book would be a đeication to the concept of healthy eating(if you satisfy your desire,you’ll have a healthier mind),and how to eat after eating disorders.
Anyway,love your blog to death,and thankyou,Jenny.
I don’t think I could write a cookbook, but I love reading them!!

I would have a hard time writing a cookbook. I don’t have any original recipes! But a collection of my favorites would be fun. 🙂
i would love to write a cookbook detailing all my Mom’s amazing desserts!
