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!

I would LOVE to write a cookbook – very recently I have fallen in love with cooking and would like to share my recipes with others as well. It would be a mixture of main dishes & desserts, for those are my favorite things to make 🙂

It would be so fun to write a cookbook! I would focus on meals easily made with on-hand pantry items, and also kid-friendly.

Unfortunately, no I wouldn’t write a cook book. I LOVE food and I LOVE to eat and I LOVE to look at all the yummy recipes. I just simply am not very good at cooking and have no creative bone in my body. So no writing a cook book for me.
I don’t know that I could write a cookbook of my own, but if I did, it would be of recipes that we eat everyday with readily available ingredients.

Congrats! Your cookbook looks great! I’d love a copy so I could cook your recipes for my boys 🙂
If I wrote a cookbook, I’d get sued for plagiarism!! I ADORE your recipes because they’re user friendly and delicious. I would love a cookbook from you…I think my girls will be receiving these for Christmas:)
I would love to write a cookbook of healthy and SUPER quick recipes for working parents!
I would do a cookbook full of comfort foods that are good for you! Guiltless Pleasures!

I don’t think I would write a very good cookbook. Congrats on yours, though! 😀

I don’t think I’d like to write a cookbook. Something about making something I enjoy into a job just seems like a bad idea.
I love to bake but not sure I would like to write a cookbook. So glad there are talented people out there who can do that for me! 🙂
I think it would be fun. I would probably do desserts!
Congrats Jenny!! It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to get my hands on it! And I don’t think a cookbook is in my future, although I do think I would love to be a recipe tester. 🙂
I would like to do a cookbook with all our old family recipes and tried and true favorites.
I’d definitely do a dessert cookbook-probably with help from my favorite baking partner-my mom!
Not sure I have the skills for a cookbook, but I love to bake! Congrats on the new cookbook!
