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!

Of course I’d like to write a cookbook, and it would be all desserts for two people! 🙂
If I am given a chance I write a cookbook on my family recipes which have come from generation to generation…..Congrats on the book…Keep rocking….
I have a huge collection of cookbooks, but can’t see writing one myself.
If I wrote a cookbook, it would include recipes on a budget that are still delicious and nutritious!

Although there are tons of these type of cookbooks out there already, I would write a Southern family cookbook

1. No. I don’t love cooking. Ha! But I love the food you make
Congrats on the cookbook. I have really enjoyed making several of the recipes. If I could have my own cookbook. I would include all the yummy Italian recipes from my mom, grandma, and great grandma so that future generations could have a part of our family past.

Thanks for the giveaway! Probably a desserts cookbook, since those are usually the recipes I am searching for!
I would love to write a cookbook. I’d love to have a ton of my family’s recipes.
If I wrote a cookbook, it would be in sections — desserts, beef, pork, chicken, more desserts. Maybe desserts would be in sections: cakes, cookies, pies. Lots of ideas swirling in my head. ha ha ha
Congratulations on your publication.
