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!

Right now I’m craving cheese, so it would probably be a cookbook of cheesy recipes! But nice cheeses.
Congratulations, Jenny! I’ve been making lots of your recipes and get smiles from Mr. Squash on each one! If I were to write a cookbook I would want it to be all the recipes my mom made when I was young! They were all in her head, and now in mine. I rarely saw her use a cookbook for anything!
Cheers!

Congrats Jenny! I would love, love , love to have your cookbook! My own cookbook would be a dream come true…..mine would be sweet treats 🙂
Nope I prefer to just use other peoples recipes!
I follow you via email.
I would write a cookbook about southern food.
I am currently keeping track of family faves in handwritten form in a binder. None are original recipes. They are trial and error favorites from various sources. I keep them in one place, so I don’t lose track of any more successes. This way my family will have access to the foods they love when I am no longer around to provide it.
I would love to write a cookie cookbook!
A cookbook would e fun to write, I’m sure mine would have many desserts in it!

I’ve never been interested in writing my own cookbook. I’m not creative enough to think up recipes. I cannot wait to get yours though. Thanks.
Jenny the cookbook looks FAB!! I can’t wait to get my buttery hands on a copy!! I would love to write a soup cookbook…someday!!!
I would love to write a cookbook of all my grandmothers favorite family recipes. My favorite section would be the sweets.
I’d love to write a cookbook, but it sounds like SO much work! I admire you so much for balancing your family, your blog, all of the other aspects of your life, AND found time to write a cookbook!
I follow on facebook.
I can’t write a cookbook–that’s why I need yours. 🙂 Congrats!!
I am a cook book user, not a cook book writer. I love to cook but am not good at coming up with new and fun recipes. But I am happy to use the recipes of those who do have the gift (Jenny!), and cook them up for my family. 🙂
I would write a cookbook about soups.
I would love to write a cookbook. My “theme” would be fast, simple, and tasty recipes. Plus cupcakes. Lots of cupcakes!
I love cookbooks and have many on my shelf and am looking forward to adding this to my collection. Those stuffed Oreo cookies on the cover look fabulous! I think IF I wrote a cookbook it would be for my grandmas cookie and dessert recipes.
If I was talented enough, I would like to write a cookbook with recipes for high/afternoon tea….also desserts! ;-}
Your cookbook looks wonderful…Congratulations!! Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
I have liked & follow on facebook. I would like to write a cookbook of regional and family favorites. Beautiful cookbook.
