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!

If I wrote a cookbook, I’m pretty sure I’d get in trouble for plagiarizing. I can only cook with a recipe. Congrats on your book!
Congratulations Jenny! I just started to follow your site and make your recipes! If I could make a cookbook, I would try to have the most variety of recipes. And I’d like to include recipes for all the holidays and breast cancer awareness and things like that 🙂
I’m not so sure that writing a cookbook would be a good idea for me. I am more of a follow other people’s recipes kind of girl. If I did write one it would have to be a kid-friendly version because that is what my life is all about right now.
I would like to write a dessert cookbook! I would LOVE to read and make the recipes in your cookbook! Every recipe I have made from your blog has been wonderful!
I would love to write a cookbook. Unfortunately I am not overly skilled in the culinary arts! LOLOL! It would have to be a book of sweets though!

I have just discovered your site and it is awesome…very inspiring! If I were to publish a cookbook it would be recipes for baked goods. I am a senior citizen and I’ve always been known as the Betty Crocker of the departments where I have worked over the years.
Thank you for sharing your recipes and publishing a cookbook.
