Author Deborah Martin’s New Book, "Beyond Southern: Recipes from the Heart," is a Series of Recipes for Southern-Inspired Meals from the Author's Expansive Collection

Meridian, MS, April 28, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Deborah Martin, a true Southerner and a coal miner’s daughter who was born in Birmingham, Alabama, has completed her new book, “Beyond Southern: Recipes from the Heart”: a collection of mouth-watering and delectable recipes crafted through the years by the author and her family that are sure to delight any dinner guest.

“Welcome to ‘Beyond Southern,’ recipes from the heart by a girl with a passion for cooking Southern cuisine,” writes Martin. “Inspired by the Food Network, I was chosen to appear on their ‘Ultimate Recipe Showdown—Hometown Favorites.’ Family, friends, and even strangers asked when a cookbook was going to be written. After much thought and many tastings by friends and family, this book began.”

Martin continues, “Along with recipes from my personal collection, ‘Beyond Southern’ is peppered with dishes graciously shared by family and friends. I have cooked every recipe in this book and hundreds more over the years. Delicious food is an essential of life, and hours spent in the kitchen is time well spent. After all, cooking is a form of meditation that transcends one into a world that reaches all of the five senses.

“… Build a repertoire of dishes you enjoy cooking for family, friends, and parties. Memorize them, then make them your own by adding other ingredients or taking ingredients away. Take chances; add your own twists. All recipes are based on generations of cooks’ and chefs’ ideas. We build on each other’s work. After all, a recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Deborah Martin’s cookbook was inspired by the author’s desire to share family traditions and recipes and with the hope that readers would recreate them in order to experience a little taste of what Southern life is like. From simple dishes to mesmerizing main courses, Martin provides recipes for nearly every occasion that are sure to leave readers and their guests full and satisfied.

Readers who wish to experience this delectable work can purchase “Beyond Southern: Recipes from the Heart” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
