Reviews
The Seasonal Kitchen, Meyers's first cookbook, was published in 1973, long before cooking with fresh local ingredients became a mantra for chefs and good cooks everywhere. Several titles in that same vein (e.g. From Market to Kitchen) followed. Her new book features hundreds of culinary Q&As (the questions are culled from Meyers's workshop students), along with her favorite recipes in each category, from vegetables to fruit; also included are chapters on equipment and stocking the pantry. There is a lot of information here, and while some readers will appreciate the format, others might wish for an easier-to-use organizational style - i.e., a factual section on cooking duck rather than a series of questions, e.g., "I'd like to buy a duck breast, but I don't know how to prepare it" and "I love to grill chicken but have never attempted duck - can it be done?" Nevertheless, Meyers is knowledgeable, and her recipes sound delicious. For most collections. (Library Journal, May 15, 2004)

1001 Tips for everyday cooking: for new & old cooks
This is an excellent book for anyone who cooks. It truly does have “1001 things every good cook needs to know.” Ever wonder why something you cook just doesn’t taste like it does in a restaurant? Do you avoid recipes because you aren’t sure how to substitute? Can you bake something instead of pan-frying it? What is the best way to thaw foods? How do I know when something is fresh or past its prime? There are so many cuts of meat, which one is best for the recipe? What kitchen tools do I absolutely need? How much pasta or potatoes should I use? What’s the difference between all the different kinds of onions (mushrooms, leavening, sugars, salts, oils…etc.)? It’s impossible here to describe all the categories of information in this book but I can say this: How to Peel a Peach is very well organized and easy to read. It’s perfect for the newest cook but it is also excellent for the “seasoned” cook! It can improve the recipes you already use and it will encourage you to try new foods and recipes because you will feel more confident. By the way, it also has about 150 recipes included too!Read full review

It's almost a one volume library on the kitchen.
I have benefitted much from having this book at hand, to just look up things I want to know. I like it's organization. It is most often right beside my recliner and I browse through it. The book goes into what varieties of vegetables can be substituted, when the one you want is out of season. I have actually found no other book quite like it. Ms. Myers gives many tips on knives, pans, the shelf life of spices, food preparation appliances, probably everything you ever want to know about fruit...AND there are many recipes. I highly recommend this book! It's almost a one volume library on the kitchen.
