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 would love to do a cookbook with all kinds of recipes from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. Most importantly, it would have LOTS of pictures!

I think it would be a lot of fun to write a cookbook. I love deserts so if I were going to write on, it would probably be filled with different cookies, cakes, cupcakes, candies, and whatever other yummy things I could come up with.
If I wrote a cookbook, it would be full of desserts and special treats.
If I wrote a cookbook, I would write all about menu planning and dinner recipes.
I would probably do desserts only. Love me some sweets!

No I wouldn’t like to write a cookbook because I’m way too busy trying everyone else’s recipes from their cookbooks!
Congratulations on your cookbook! I am very excited to get my hands on one of these. No, I wouldn’t write a cookbook, I’m not great at coming up with my own stuff, at the most I will adapt a recipe but most of my recipes I have gotten from cookbooks or blogs like yours (which are already great and don’t need changing ;)).
How exciting it’s finally finished and sent out! Congrats on all the hard work. I only have about 20 ideas for a cookbook in my head so narrowing it down would be the hardest part ;).
I love reading your book and seeing your beautiful pictures. Your stories on how you started cooking also captured my heart and you’re an inspiration!
I would love to write a cookbook one day. I’d like to include a lot of recipes I grew up with from both of my grandmas – plus lots of baking too.
If I wrote a cookbook, it would be quick and easy meals to make with easy-to-find ingredients.

I would LOVE to write a cookbook and it would probably be in honor of my kids who have taught me to let them be little and cook with me and we have created some great recipes together and my grandmothers who have passed their recipes on to me and I cherish that 🙂

No, have never wanted to write a cookbook…I can barely read one w/o wondering what some ingredients are! :/ BUT I’m TRYING to be better in the kitchen! So I’d love to win!
