The Picky Palate Cookbook is Finally Here plus Giveaway

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 have three children, one of which is extremely picky (she is very sensitive to textures.) I would love to do a cookbook based on the things she will eat … as I know she is not the only one like this!

    Congratulatin! Oh writing a cookbook is such a dream, mine would have a little bit of everything. Family friendly recipes, that look and taste fancier than they truly are.

    I love to tweak recipes & make them my own, but I can’t start from scratch. That’s why I love people who write good cookbooks!

    Congratulations on your new cookbook! I don’t think I would like to write a cook book, we shall leave that to the folks that love to cook! I am more happy to bake and create crazy cakes. That being said, that picture on your cover with the stuffed cookie makes my mouth water!

    I’m so excited about your cookbook! It’s at the top of my Christmas wish list 🙂
    I would love to write a cookbook and it would probably include a little of everything. The kitchen is my favorite room in a home! I feel so comfortable there and really feel like food brings people together.
