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!

No writing of cookbooks for me! I’ll just stick to collecting them 🙂
Since going gluten-free in August, I would be interested in compiling a gluten-free cookbook
I think I would rather look/read through cookbooks than try to write one. Great giveaway!

Hi! I have followed your blog now for a year and have been so excited about your cookbook! My college roommate turned me on to this site for easy recipes for one of our friends who was the pickiest eater I have ever met.
If I were to create my own cookbook, it would either be all about pizza or about baked goods (cupcakes, cookies, cakes and pies). Thanks for all the inspiration!!
I follow you twitter 🙂
I would love to write a cookbook. I would definitely include loads of dessert recipes and tasty appetizers! I bet the recipes in your cookbook rock! Congrats!
Congratulations!!! I have to say that I have made more recipes from your blog than any other one out there! I have already asked for your cookbook for Christmas! But would love a signed copy!
I would love to write a cookbook, it would have to be all about sweets! I have a major sweet tooth!

I worked on 3 church “community” cookbooks-they’re tons of work-and that was gathering recipes. I wish I had the creativity to come up with enough recipes to fill a cookbook…..alas, I don’t. So I’ll be more than happy to read and own cookbooks by very talented cooks/bakers like you!
Congratulations Jenny-I know this is going to be a huge success for you…..
I would do a cookbook with nothing but chocolate recipes.

I would do a seasonal cookbook with fun treat ideas for each holiday/season.
I would love to write a cookbook but I would need to adopt a little more patience to do something like that. I have loved trying your different recipes over the years and made the famous butterfinger, milky way, chocolate chunk cookies again this past weekend. Congratulations!!
