Ave Maria, FL, November 05, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Chef Derrick N. Mathis Sr., who holds a BS and MS in hospitality management from Florida International University, as well as a culinary arts degree from Johnson & Wales University, has completed his new book, “Mr. D's Famous Recipes For Healthy, Soul Food, Bahamian, American Foods”: a series of delectable recipes inspired by family favorites, bringing soul food classics to new life for all.

“Many of these recipes came from Africa and from my grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, and mother, all of Black American African descent,” writes Mathis Sr. “These recipes reflect the love that has allowed them to survive the test of time—from slavery cabins to modern times, from homes, schools, and kitchens where mothers cooked for decades without measuring ingredients, adding only love to every recipe from the heart.”

The author continues, “Now our talented people can measure the recipes in this, my second cookbook, capturing the smells, sounds, and sights of good food in a healthier preparation. With that, we take the past and add it to the present, creating recipes for the future and the next century—from 2020 and beyond.

“Let us show our love to all people and all lives—in a loving and creative way.”
