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’ve given my daughter all my recipes for ‘comfort foods’ that she grew up with. I don’t feel qualified to write a cookbook, but if I did, it would be about simple, tasty meals…I think.
I follow you on Pinterest.
Congratulations, the book looks amazing!! 🙂
Yes, I’d love to write a cookbook! I think I’d fill it with a ton of chocolatey desserts 🙂

I’d write a cookbook just for my family with our favorite meals and desserts.
I would love to write a cookbook of our families favorite recipes.
Congratulations on your cookbook! I can’t wait to pick it up at my nearest bookstore! To answer the question, I say definitely yes and my recipes would all be breakfast/brunch recipes since brunch is my favorite meal!
Congratulations! I don’t think I would ever write a cookbook. It just seems WAY too overwhelming.

Yes! I would do a desserts cookbook because I can’t seem to get enough of desserts. They are my favorite things to make!
Congrats on the cookbook!

My answer would probably be no, but if someone is offering me money to create and share my recipes, HECK YES. I would consider a book about baking though 🙂
I would love, love, love to write a cookbook someday. I am almost 17 and have ALWAYS loved cooking & baking. My cookbook would consist of a mix of sweet baked goods, breads, & savory dishes, like gourmet soups and much more! Hopefully I can make that dream happen…one day!
I would love to write a cookbook! It would be dessert-based…maybe cheesecakes. There are about a million and one recipes I’d like to include. 😉 Congratulations on your cookbook!

So excited for you Jenny!! If I ever wrote a cookbook? Easy, fast and gluten free! :). Cause it is just what I need…love your recipes though!’
Your new cookbook sounds wonderful. I enjoy collecting cookbooks, but leave the writing to you experts. I have no plans to write my own.

CONGRATS Jenny! Super exciting 😀 I definitely want to have my own cookbook out one day. I sure hope I get to. I would include my quiche recipes, and of course all of my baking! I have some pretty awesome cookie and cupcake recipes that would be a MUST to go in!! And hopefully Ill come up with more along the way 🙂

I don’t think I’ve mastered the art of cooking enough to have to desire to write a cookbook. But if one day, I did, it’d be a book of Jamaican dishes.
I LOVE cookbooks, but if I were to write one, it would be filled with comfort foods. You incorporate lots of those cozy, down-home foods, and they are definitely my favorites!
id love to make a cookbook and only include dessert recipes like cupcakes and cookies ! =)

I would love to publish a desert cookbook.
I love cookbooks, but I am not creative enough to create my own recipes so I don’t think I would do well creating my own cookbook! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would not like to write a cookbook – but they’re my favorite books to read!!
