--W "A collection of recipes and anecdotes focusing on the one thing that really matters in matters of cooking: time spent together. [Watts and Soto] are reminding us that the possibility to leap freely with abandon can arise anywhere, even in the kitchen."

--Interview "A zesty pots de deux...delicious...wonderful."

--New York Daily News "For the ultimate in dining and dancing, I can recommend, without reservation, an evening at Heather and Jock's."

--Fran Lebowitz "Our Meals is an easy-to-follow compendium of simple recipes interspersed with personal recollections...What shines throughout the book is the depth of Watts' and Soto's friendship for each other....What makes Our Meals such a juicy read, too, are its gossipy asides regarding the high life: Dinners at ballet patron Anne Bass'; visits to Bruce Weber's Adirondack camp; and name-dropping fare like Nora Ephron's Corn Souffl and the Fran Lebowitz Dinner, a nod to the evening the sharp-tongued writer insisted on eating Beluga caviar straight out of the can. Soto and Watts, obviously, have picked up some of Lebowitz's dry wit."
