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 thought I might want to do a cookbook some time ago but now I am not so sure. I like having the access that others have gone before me and tested recipes and I can get great recipes from their books.

I would love to write a cookbook. It would be filled with family recipes, so anything from my background. Recipes I’ve picked up over the years from church ladies and anything that just reminds me of home.
I like Picky Plate on FB!
My cookbook would have delicious and easy to make and FAST recipes!
I am definitely not writing a cook book anytime soon!!! haha Im so not creative when it comes to cooking and like to follow recipes to a T.
I like you on FB!
I could never write a coobook, I rely on lovely people like you to provide inspiration! Congrats on your book~
I would write a cookbook that included ways to buy ingredients in bulk and then make various recipes from what you just bought. It seems practical and would cut down on running to the grocery store so often.
I would write a family cookbook. So many tried and true recipes.
Yes! It would fun (although lots of work, I’m sure!) to write a cookbook. I would want to write one about seasonal/holiday desserts.
I’d like to pretend that I could come up with a cookbook…but in reality I only know a handful of good dishes that I just tweak to suit what’s in the fridge. If I ever could get creative enough to do one, I think it would be all desserts!
I’m an email subscriber
I can’t even imagine being dedicated enough to write a cookbook, but if I did, It would be of family comfort food recipes.

Congrats on the cookbook! I don’t think I could write a cookbook. I can follow recipes well and tweak them a little, but I can’t come up with my own recipes too well. If I did make a cookbook though, it would have to be about baked, sweet treats!

No, I could never write a cookbook that is why I read great blogs like yours! I need all the inspiration I can get.
