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!

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! 
A cookbook would be so fun to write … i think 😉 but I would have no idea where to even begin. I love to bake and have a major sweet tooth so something in that regard would be phenomenal.

If I could write a cookbook it would be of yummy cookies. I’m not sure I have that many recipes though or am creative enough.
I would love to write a cookbook that included Dominican/Latin American recipes that I’ve had to teach myself how to cook since I’ve been with my fiancé and that’s what he grew up eating. 🙂
I love to cook, I collect cookbooks and can just set and read them like a book. Please enter me in the free give away. Thanks.

My cookbook would be desserts, coffee cakes and sweet breads. I LOVE to bake!
I am already follwing you on Facebook.
I actually researched years ago the costs of writing my own cookbook. I wanted to be sure my family and friends had my recipes all in one spot once I was gone. Two of my boys have told me so many times that I NEEDED to write certain recipes down because they were in my head and they both said when I am gone they will never get to have those meals again. I did finally spend a lot of time making those meals over and over writing down ingredients each time until I perfected the recipes so they do have those now but having a cookbook was one of my dreams. I know now that will not happen but them having those recipes was my reason.
My book was going to be everything from appetizers, main dishes, desserts and breakfast dishes.
Would be great to have a *Holiday* Picky Palate recipe book .. . but love that this will hopefully be one of many more .. *smile* ..
I don’t think I would like to write a cookbook, I’ll just bake everything from yours!!!

Congrats..and yes maybe someday and it would be all desserts !!!

If I had enough recipes, I would love either a “Breakfast Served All Day” cookbook, or a dessert book (cakes, pies, you name it).
I follow you on pinterest too.

Given my limited abilities in the kitchen, any cookbook I wrote would have be be very simple recipes that tasted good which anyone could follow.

I wouldn’t want to write a cookbook – I need recipes to follow!
