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 probably would never write a cookbook as I don’t believe I’m creative enough in cooking!!
I sure hope that I win a copy of yours! I’ve been following your blog for about 4 or 5 years now and would LOVE to win and try out some of your new recipes!! (If I don’t, I guess this will just have to be put on my Christmas wish list! 🙂 )
I’d love to write a cookbook of our family favorites. It wouldn’t have to be published world wide, just something for my family members.

I *think* I would like to write a cookbook….but in all honesty I do not believe I would be able to do it. So..I’ll just buy everyone else’s in the meantime!!!! 🙂
I love baking, so I would probably write all about baking
If I wrote a cookbook it would be an easy dinner/everyday type cookbook. With some easy delicious desserts at the end 😉
Followed on Twitter!
If I did write a cookbook it would be desserts first!

I’d love to write a cookbook! It would have to include crockpot recipes… I’m hooked!
I would like to write a cookbook with all of my family recipes in it!
Congrats on your Cookbook. I love trying new recipes so looking forward to hopefully winning one or will purchase if I must, lol. I want to do a personal cookbook for each of my 3 kids of all the favorite foods that I make that they love. My oldest is 17 so I will be starting soon on this project so it can hopefully get done by next summer for her Birthday.
I follow on facebook
Desserts would be my cookbook of choice.
Not everyone is as talented as you are. I couldn’t write a cookbook ifvI tried ! I will continue to use your yummy recipes !!!!!!
I already like you on Facebook!
Congratulations!! If I wrote a cookbook, it’d definitely be a baking cookbook. I firmly believe that carbs are good for the soul.
One day i would love to write a recipe book of all the desserts i learned in culinary school especially when im over in turks and caicos for 6 months.
I am torn with writing a cookbook. There are a couple of really awesome recipes I have that I will not disclose the secret technique that I use in preparation that I’ve never, ever seen in any other recipe.
Would love your cookbook. My husband is the ultimate Picky Eater 🙂
Good Luck with the sale of your new cookbook!
