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!

Congratulations!! I would love to write a cookbook of family recipes. I have recipes that were my grandmothers, great grandmothers and some from my great great aunt.
I would include lots of dessert recipes! Congratulations on your cookbook! I am always looking for new dinner ideas- I would love to win your book!

I would not want to write a cookbook!!! A few years ago we did a school cookbook for the PTO. I don’t ever want to do it again. But the best kind of cookbooks are full of recipes that are tried and true and that don’t need tons of special ingredients.

I would be terrified to write a cookbook. Kudos to you for doing it!
If I had your creative talent, I would definitely write a cookbook! Since I do not possess that talent, I’ll stick to just following the recipes out of awesome cookbooks like yours. 🙂 If I were ever to be so lucky though, I’d write one with recipes from all over the world. It’d be like the United Nations at your dinner table!
I have subsribed and receive emails.

It would definately be a cook book of snacks and desserts!
I would have to write a dessert cookbook.
I love to read and try out recipes from cookbooks, but I don’t think I could ever write one! If I could though, maybe I’d do a comfort food one!
Family recipes
OH my goodness, HUGE congratulations, Jenny! That is such an achievement and so well deserved 🙂 Enjoy every minute of it!
I can’t decide whether my cookbook would be comfort food…or comfort desserts…they aren’t that different right? 🙂
I follow you on Pinterest too! :o)

I think it would be great to write a cookbook but I don’t think I have the talent for it! I leave that up to amazing cooks like you!
I would write a CAKE book. Or everything CHOCOLATE.

If I ever made a cookbook it would probably be a dessert one. 🙂 I love baking.
A dessert cookbook with lots of photos.
I would absolutely love to write a cookbook! It would have various desserts that are classics but with my own twist! I would have plenty of tips, stories, and my insertion.
I wouldn’t but I am a cookbook collector and I can’t wait to get my hands on yours.
Thanks!
