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!!

I would write a cookbook of old family recipes that I loved as a child. It would be a great gift to my kids and a fun way to cook together.
Congratulations on your book. I am very excited to receive it soon.

No writing for me, but I am obsessed with owning cookbooks :).
I am another person who preordered your book and have already tried a recipe (the Smoky BBQ chicken mac and cheese). I ordered it primarily to find recipes my very pick eaters would chow down on but in all honesty a cookbook I would love to write or see out is one where they eat healthy, primarily vegetables cookbook. I’m vegan. I get tired of watching my children gag and choke down any recipe of mine I prepare that’s vegan.
So, if I could find someone who was very good at plant-based recipes that kids love I would buy their cookbooks. So would most of my plant-based friends. 😉

I would write a cookbook geared towards men who don’t know their way around the kitchen! I think it would be great for their wives if the husbands picked up a few simple tricks!
I would do a dessert book!
I love looking at cookbooks but could never write one. Would love to win the book.
