50 Great Appetizers
I’ve been away now for just over 1 month since my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby daughter, Mia (more photos of her soon, I promise), and I’ve been missing you all.
To make up for it and as a thank you to all those readers who’ve sent good wishes to us (and also to anyone else who happens across this post; greetings!), I’m giving away another great FREE COOKBOOK.
This time around the book is “50 great appetizers” by the great Pamela Sheldon Johns. I’ve read it and can say that it’s a great little reference book that you’re going to be keeping in the kitchen for a long time to come.
All you have to do to win this free cookbook is leave a comment on this post (or send me an email) telling me why you should receive it. I’ll pick a winner by around the second week in July…

Looks like a great giveaway! I always mean to make starters more often but never know what to make and fall back on assembly jobs of good quality charcuterie and cheeses or meze dishes. Would be nice to try some other options!
What a cool cookbook! Why should I win it? Because I can happily make a meal out of appy’s and need some fresh ideas on appy’s to make and share with family & friends.
Welcome back!
At the end of July my husband and I are moving to Nashville TN. It will be my first time living outside of the Midwest USA (Except those times I lived in Ghana) and I don’t know a soul. I’ll be finishing my dissertation so I wont have colleagues down there to be social with. In other words, having people over to our house to entertain will be my only outlet for meeting folks in those first few months. What better way to meet folks than over tasty appetizers? So that’s my pitch: help me make friends in my new town!!
Welcome back to blogging, and once again, congratulations. Hmmm … I should receive the cookbook because I am always challenged when it comes to appetizers, so I can get some much needed assistance and throw a fabulous party for my friends using the recipes and tips in this book.
Congrats again on the new little one. The only reason I can think of why I should get the cookbook is because I want it
Congrats on baby Mia! I’m culinarily challenged when it comes to appetizers, I can never think of anything! I need a book like this.
Congrats and welcome back. I need your book because I love appetizers and need some new ideas.
Congratulations on your new addition!! I should get this cookbook because appetizers are quite possibly my favorite thing in the whole world. If I could eat every meal as a collection of appetizers, I would. And yet sadly, I don’t own any cookbooks devoted to appetizers!
Great to have you back and congratulations once again on the beautiful little one! So why should I win a cookbook? umm…Mainly cos I usually dont win anything in my life and I guess its high time, I win something! I dont want to stop believing in Lady Luck – I am sure you dont want me to do that, do you
Jokes apart I am an appetizer girl – I am sure most of the chefs at restaurants wish that the ground under me opens and swallows me up thanks to my annoying habit of eating appetizers and filling myself up!
This book will spare the stress of these chefs me thinks 
My husband and I have always managed our “kitchen love” by dividing up asssignments. I get apps and dessert and he enjoys the main. I’m not good at
timing but love the dazzle! Sundays and any excuse for a holiday is 15 or more at
the party.
I tried to break out of this mold last Sunday for Father’s Day… – Who knew? Now the grill has to be “oiled-up” before you put the chicken on? That my father-in-law doesn’t like room temperature ribs? That my microwave can’t function at 10 power for more than 7 minutes….
Please get me back in the before/after world I am used too. Give me tuna hummus on pinto bean bread followed (eventually) by strawberry cream rollups any day….
It seems to a great giveaway, unfortunatly I am far away tos send me, but I certainly use a lot, in my parties .
You baby is so cute,congratulations
We live for good appetizers. We’re always having parties, so this would be perfect. Congrats on the baby!
I would love this cookbook because I just moved to a new place and would love to host more parties, but I never know what to make! I usually like to serve little appetizers, but need some new ideas…
Appetizers have always stumped me. Meat or veggie. Hot or cold. Dipping sauce or plain. I would hope that this book, if received, would give me all sorts of new options.
I was just wondering…are you getting any sleep yet? New baby and all……
Love Pamela and the book can only be great! Fingers are crossed to win!
I really – at last – want to start making wonderful things to eat!
Congratulations on your baby girl.
appetizers make the meal!!! thanks for the giveaway
I would think I should win because of my profound love of cooking. Great book, I’d love it!
I should win because whenever I go somewhere, people always designate me to bring appetizer items. I would love to wow them with some new crazy things that are awesome
Looks like a awesome book. Thanks for the chance

I would love this cook book
why I should get this book. Because my husband got relocated to Mexico for 2 years with the family and without our stuff and I had to but my cookbook collection in storage and I have not yet found a cook book here in English and I feel like I am going die if I can’t leaf through a cook book soon.
thanks for the give away, I find them to be so fun, even if I don’t get the item
I love playing hostess and cooking whole meals, but I always feel at a loss when it comes to events for which appetizers would be more appropriate.
I would like this cookbook because I host the holiday parties and I need some new ideas. Thank you
Simply congratulations to you both and welcome to the world to baby Mia!
I do a lot of entertaining, and I could really use some new recipes!
I am horrible at most cooking but I CAN cook appetizers. I like to think of it as tapas. I need this cookbook to add to my menus. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am known for my appetizers at my friends and family gatherings but my “repertoire” is getting old. This would be a big help. And congratulations to you and your wife. Life is good.
We love eating appetizers as our main meal! That’s why I need to win!
Thanks
Why should I win it? I am always looking for something new to create in the kitchen.
We’ve missed you!
I’ve wanted to learn cooking for a while and hope to share some great recipes on my blog. Learning how to make appetizers would be a great way to start!
love the cookbooks out there and learn about cooking and creating from recipes..would love this just for ideas and new things to create
I should win this book because I love appetizers. I could make a meal out of them. This would help me have a finger food party.
I should get this because I am famous for my dinners and am always loking for new things to keep my guests satisfied while I slave away in the kitchen cooking their meal!

Hey Scott! It’s great to see you back! I hope you and Mama, and little Mia are doing well.
Why should I win the cookbook? B/C I’m hosting a big appetizer and drinks only party in September and would love some new ideas!
I would love to win this book! We often entertain with appetizers!
Happy Independence to you and the family!
I am just learning how to cook after 3 decades of boxed or canned food. I need to win this so that I can show off my new skills with a fancy dinner party for my friends.
my mom loves cookbooks,
this one looks great
Hi Scott
Congratulations to you and your wife on the safe arrival of baby Mia.
The cookbook giveaway is a great idea. I don’t deserve to win it because I already have loads of cookbooks and very rarely follow recipes. I’m in the “looks at picture, glances at ingredients, then does own thing” brigade.
Am I too late to enter the give-away of this great book? Your baby is just too beautiful (well, beautiful, not too beautiful) and I have been waiting for you to come back and give us news! Hope all is well.
I simply would love to win this because I absolutely love cookbooks, love the inspiration and they just make me so happy.
