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!

Good Luck!!
Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I always thought about writing a cookbook that would include a collection of recipes from other people…I would call it “the best recipes I ever stole!”

I think writing a cookbook would be amazing and I would love to do it!! However, since I prefer baking over cooking, it would probably be full of dessert recipes only 🙂
Uh, no. I’m not talented enough in the kitchen to do a cookbook. And, no one would want it! But, I’d love to have a copy of yours!

I would love a cookbook of all my family favorite recipes. I know there is a website where you can do this. I just haven’t had time to do it.
I get your Picky Palate emails!
Cookbook for me would be cakes, cookies, brownies or bar type goodies, etc. Just love baking.

I’m not a very good cook, so no I wouldn’t want to write a cookbook. I follow others recipes better.
Also, liked you on FB
Writing a cookbook is not something I aspire to do. However, I am very glad that people like you write them!

Yes, I would love to write a cookbook! I would include my family’s favoites!
My book would be THE PERFECT LUNCHBOX. It would contain recipes and tips on how to pack a lunch for learning, including tips on lunch notes for your kiddos.
I would love to write a cookbook for all of the family recipes that I have gathered over the years. These recipes have so many stories and love behind them!

I think a family recipe cookbook with a modern twist would be fun!
I think writing a cookbook would be amazing but I simply don’t have any creativity. That’s why I plan on buying yours. If I were creative, I would definitely have all desserts all the time. I also think I would make it as anecdotal as possible. No one laughs enough these days. If we laughed more, I think society would be happier in general.

I would love to write a cookbook but I don’t have time or engery to do so. Would love to have one of yours,

If I were to author a recipe book, I’d include a variety of recipes since I like to cook & bake a little of everything. I might have an extra long dessert section though. 🙂
