For those of you in the local area who aren’t yet following me on Facebook (please friend me!) or who aren’t in my personal email address book, please know that you and your friends/family are invited to the official Blooming Platter Cookbook Launch/Signing Party!

Many months ago, Sheila Giolitti, owner of Mayer Fine Art Gallery in Norfolk, VA, had the truly generous and inspired idea of hosting a launch party at the gallery, complete with a book-signing and a food-in-art exhibition.  I, of course, eagerly accepted and, through her enthusiastic efforts, it will be happening in about 3 short weeks.

Won’t you please join us and spread the word?  All of the information follows.   See you there!
