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!

My ultimate dream it to write a cookbook – I keep praying and hoping someone will find me! It would be focused on family meals, budget friendly, easy pleasing, and of course sinful desserts!
I would write a cookbook full of simple dinners and desserts for busy families!

If I wrote a cookbook it would be of family favorites – a little bit of everything, then I won’t have to go through hundreds of recipes (via books, magazines, blogs, websites, etc) to find an old favorite 🙂
I have no desire to write a cookbook but thoroughly enjoy reading and trying recipes. Congratulations!!
I would probably write a cookbook full of comfort foods, if I had to. But I much prefer to read other cookbooks instead. Congrats on reaching an important milestone!
I’d write a compilation of my favorite recipes!
I subscribe to your blog!

I have been working on a cookbook of family recipes for many years now, just can’t find the time to finish it. It’s SOoo much work! Can’t wait to get your new book, congrats!
I like you on FB!
I would love to win this!! If I were to write a cookbook, it would probably be aimed at busy and/or working moms who have little time to cook for their families each night – so it would likely include a large crockpot section. 😉
I could never write a cookbook. I love baking, but only from other people’s creative recipes. 🙂 So excited for yours!!!
Fun giveaway!!! I would write a cookbook on desserts and party planning all in one.
I follow you on Pinterest too (Instagram as well). Thanks! The cookbook looks terrific!
I would love to write a cookbook. It would include Pastas and Seafood and Breads around the World.

I would love to but I don’t think I’d be able to since have so many types of recipes I’d need to include. Unless of course I did a series 😉 I’m always interested in either seasonal cooking or “menu” type cookbooks.
I am subscribed & get your email updates. Thanks!
I’d write a cookbook full of decadent cupcakes 🙂
I follow you on Facebook!

I would like to write a cookbook and I would include all of my favorite family recipes. We have some amazing cooks in our family!
I already left a review on Amazon. A signed copy of the book would be a wonderful holiday gift.

I’m also following you on Pinterest.
I would love to write a cookbook with all of my recipes that are kept in a shoebox.
I’m a fan of yours on Facebook. Many, many congratulations on the cookbook as well. I’m sure it’s fabulous!
I would LOVE to write a baking cookbook: primarily fancy yeast breads but pretty much anything with flour. I’m passionate about baking!
I’ve been waiting for this cookbook to be available!! I love your recipes and have made several! If I had a cookbook, it would definitely have desserts! I love baking. I make a blackberry cake/cobbler with the blackberries we have growing wild and my family loves it!
And I follow you on Facebook!! With a picky boy eater… I hope to win!! CCrossing my fingers. 😀
