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!

A cookbook with all my quick easy freezer meals would be perfect! We’re expecting a baby in about 4 weeks and the freezer is getting stocked quickly.
I would write a cookbook on party foods!

I definitely would write a cookbook, including lots of easy dinners, sweet desserts, and lots of fruits and vegetable recipes
Congratulations!!! Most definitely would love to write a cookbook!!! It’d be recipes of desserts and pastries!!! 🙂
my sisters and I “made” a cookbook for our mom for Christmas last year – it has all of our family favorites. My mom loved it so much, she bought a copy for each of us. We love to bond in the kitchen when we are together, and when we aren’t together, the cook book makes the distance seem not so far.
Love your blog… the recipes I’ve tried always get rave reviews from everyone with whom I share them. Congrats on the cook book too 🙂
I would love to write a cookbook of recipes I’ve come up with over the years.
I forgot to say how much I enjoy the emails also – thanks so much……
And most definitely receiving emails.

I would love to write a cookbook but I’m not really sure what it would be. I don’t cook very often. But I’m thinking probably crockpot recipes.
I really enjoy you on my Facebook. 🙂
i would love to!! recipes might be all about bread, desserts, chocolate and peanut butter! haha

congrats on your cookbook! I could never write one myself, but I love using a lot of your recipes! I have made quite a few and they are fantastic! From cookies…to dinners…to sides, they are wonderful! Congrats!
Me writing a cookbook is a terrifying thought (ask me how my popovers became brickovers). That said, my cookbook would be full of recipes for one or two people, with a distinct leaning towards pasta.
I would write one with east family dinners that can be done in a short amount of time with short cuts in detail.
Nope. No way. I would not write a cookbook.
I enjoy looking at the pictures of other people’s creations, but I just can’t think up new recipes of my own.
I already follow you on Pinterest.
First of all, congrats!!
If I wrote a cookbook it would probably be all our family recipes.
I would love to write a cookbook all about baking yummy goodies!
No, I don’t think I’m up to writing cookbooks. Leaving that kind of thing to the experts ;). But, if I had to write one it would be on Asian cooking.
