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 dont think i would liek to write my own cookbook, i have such a deep collection of other peoples recipes, it would be hard to come up with my own originals!
I would never write a cookbook. I just don’t have that skill. Congrats on the new cookbook
CONGRATS! I would want to highlight my family’s recipes in a cookbook!
I would totally write a cookbook. It would be all dessert 🙂
I LOVE Picky Palate and can’t wait to get your new cookbook. I definitely depend on great, easy recipes like yours to keep my family of six happy. 🙂 I could never make my own cookbook so thank you for doing all the work for me.
Congratulations xD
Hope you have huge success!

I have helped write a cookbook…a family only cookbook. Included were all the family favorites and secrets! 🙂
I would not like to write my own cookbook but I would like to write down our favorite recipes so my three boys will have them when they are living on their own.
No desire to write a cookbook, because sadly, I am not a good cook! I try really hard and rely on great gooks like you to provide step by step instructions and pictures to get through meals. So looking forward to your cookbook! It is on my Christmas list:)

I would want my cookbook to be easy-to-make, mostly from scratch recipes for families. I’d want it to reflect what I do on a daily basis in my kitchen (:
Congrats on your big day!! So exciting 🙂

I couldn’t write a cookbook! I’m much better at following recipes than making them up! 🙂

Congrats, Jenny! If I wrote a cookbook it would be all about afternoon tea.
Can’t wait to see your new cookbook! My daughter put out a family cookbook a few years ago – we were just talking about doing a second one!
I would probably steer clear of writing a book, way too daunting for me…but if I were to add a recipe, it would be a family recipe of tortilla soup. It’s delicious.
