Beyond Southern

Beyond Southern is a perfect description for the eclectic recipes inside: your country grandma's down-home style to cuisine for the modern palate. As a little girl, Debbie Martin watched her grandmother prepare family favorites which equipped her for the serious cooking and baking she took up when she entered her teens. This native Southern author is passionate about flavor. Her dishes are the ones partygoers eagerly anticipate for scrumptious tastes and elegant presentations. Appearing on the Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown came as no surprise to her friends. Now, she shares her favorites along with helpful hints and her personal stories about a recipe. Inside are original, hand-me-down recipes like Mother's Chili, Granny's Southern Biscuits, and Chicken Pot Pie. Straying away from country cooking, you'll find dishes such as Raspberry Carrots, Blueberry Barbecue Sauce, and Herb Tomato Tart. The Sweet Endings are Debbie's specialties. Her passion for baking gives you Apple Crumble, Connor's Brownies, and the comforting Hug Me Pie--and much more. Beyond Southern is a great addition to your cookbook collection. These are the recipes that will make you the hit of the potluck, the queen of cuisine, or the blue-ribbon champion of baking.
