Meet My Beet is more than just a cookbook. It celebrates the diversity of beets by showing how to work them into every course of a meal and explains to the reader why it is to their benefit to eat beets. It has information on the varieties of beets on the market and how to grow and preserve them. Each of the 30 recipes is beautifully illustrated with colorful images. The author has also included variations for many of the recipes and encourages the reader to march to their own beet.

The book is written in an entertaining style with puns and wordplay inspired by the near miss of the title. From breads (Give Rise to Your Beet) to entrees (The Main Event) and nutrition (Meeting Your Beet Is Good for You), Meet My Beet is truly a beet lovers manual. The narrative chapters and introduction are written in a homespun style with a twist of humor that will be tittered at by some and overlooked by others. Doesn't that "beet" everything!
