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 don’t think I would ever write my own cookbook, it seems daunting.
I follow you on Instagram (and love your photos…especially for Stella & Dot)
I would love to write a cookbook. If I were to have one, I would have healthy, yet delicious recipes along with mouth watering sweet treats!
Congrats! If I wrote a cookbook it would be all of my family favorite recipes.
I would write one with gluten free info. It is the trend now but it is working for me. And I feel like I learn something new every day that would be cool to put in a cookbook. love your website and the brownie covered oreos were a huge hit for my daughter’s birthday treat.
I don’t think I could write a cookbook. I usually like to improvise my recipes.

Congrats on your cookbook, Jenny! I can’t wait to purchase it (or win it)!!! How very exciting for you! I would LOVE to write a cookbook…and it would feature my family’s recipes, with a big focus on my love of baking and all things dessert!! 🙂 Congrats again!
I would LOVE to write a cookbook! I would have recipes for baked good and EVERYTHING would start from scratch…..not a cake mix or mix of ANY kind! <3
If I were to write a cookbook, it would probably not be one used for weight management! It would be full of my favorite foods–that are full of yummy ingredients like butter and sugar and more! Thanks for your yummy recipes!
yummy and healthy desserts!
I would write a cookbook full of recipes given to me by my mother and mother in law.
I don’t think I could write a cookbook!! But if I did, I would have one with everything dessert!
