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 am so excited for you! I wouldn’t want to write a cookbook…I can cook, just other people’s recipes!
No I wouldn’t like to write a cookbook, I just don’t think I’m that creative. I like to buy them and take credit for the fabulous recipes I’ve made from people like yourself!
I also (now) subscribe to you through email 🙂 Yay! Hope I win a great cookbook!
I Pinned you on Pinterest (this is where I stumbled across your glorious page in the first place)! I believe it was the Gooey White Chocolate S’more cake bars…

Congrats Jenny! I think at this stage in my life I’d put together a recipe book for clean eating. I love your website because of all the sweet indulgences, but when I consider my waistline and overall attitude toward food, I think unprocessed foods are the way to go.
And of course I follow on pinterest

No I wouldn’t like to write a cookbook so I am so glad you did 🙂
Congrats on your book , so exciting! Your recipes all look so yummy and easy, the ones I have tried always turn out well! I would love to make a dessert book, but have a feeling all the food would get eaten before I could get pictures taken 🙂
I would do a cook book if someone else wrote it for me! I hope i win, i really want your book!
I love baking and would write a cookbook with treats, desserts, etc. I love your blog; thanks for the wonderful recipes I’ve gotten from you through the years!
Congratulations on your cookbook publication – the cover looks lovely. I’m from the Maritimes and would love to make a cookbook with a collection of old recipes that were found in hadwritten cookbooks from this area.
I would write a cookbook of my father’s recipes. He was an excellent cook, people loved that he cooked for them, he was always giving away food items he had made. I would love to once again sit down to a table where my father had prepared dinner for me…to honor his memory I do plan to write a cookbook of his recipes when I retire.

Yes I would write a cookbook tailored to working mommas who have little time on their hands.
Congrats on the cookbook! I don’t know if I could write a cookbook but if I did it would be desserts!

I would LOVE to write a cookbook and I’d probably want it to focus on the food my family enjoys- similar to yours! Easy dinners, desserts, entertaining ideas, etc. Congrats on the book, Jenny. It’s gorgeous!

A BIG congrats Jenny! I dream about writing a cookbook but I know it is a lot of work (that is why it is so impressive)!
Congratulations!
I would write one all about desserts since that’s the majority of what I cook these days!!
