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 write a cookbook but it would be nothing but desserts. My husband is the chef of the family and I’m the baker!
I’d like to create a recipe book with all the recipes my family loves. It would always be a work in progress though because we find more and more recipes now that we have internet/pinterest to turn to!
I prefer easy, delicious, feed a crowd recipes. 🙂

I would love to write a cookbook about cookies & cakes with family recipes + my own.
Yes! It would definitely be about baking.

Your cookbook looks amazing, Jenny. I am a fellow facebooker with you and just signed up for your email. While I love cookbooks and collect them, I probably would not write my own due to a lack of self-created recipes.

I don’t have enough confidence in my own abilities to consider writing a cookbook! I leave it up to the people far more knowledgeable and talented than I.
Congratulations! I don’t think that I would be able to write a cookbook – but I’m glad that people like you do so that I can use them and learn creative/simple food ideas!
