Attractive, easy, complicated enough to be interesting.  No, not your next girlfriend (or boyfriend) but Pamela Sheldon Johns’ new book: 50 Great Appetizers.  Part of the “50 Great…” series published by Andrews McMeel in lively colors and a satisfying small, square shape, under $15.  An opportunity to “taste lots of different little things,” as Pam says.

Incidentally, she’s on a West Coast book tour in March.  And she owns a great B&B in Tuscany, in case you’re in Italy.  Her gorgeous husband leaves breakfast outside your door every morning.  And her flamboyant little daughter is more Italian than American after 5 years in Europe.  What a life, eh?!
