Martina McBride Celebrates the Weekend at Food Network & The Cooking Channel's South Beach Wine & Food Festival

Country icon, Martina McBride, hosted two celebrity culinary events at this weekend's Food Network & Cooking Channel SOUTH BEACH Wine & Food Festival in South Beach, Florida.

"The weather was perfect for a weekend on the beach sharing some of my favorite recipes, and experiencing such a variety of exquisite dishes from the other celebrity chefs," said McBride.

Friday night, McBride and fellow celebrity chef Elizabeth Karmel co-hosted a private dinner for VIP Guests. Karmel - best known as The Original Grill Girl - is a cookbook author, public speaker and has launched food experiences "Caroline Cue To-Go" and "Girls At The Grill".

The next day, McBride hosted her own live culinary demonstration to a packed room of food enthusiasts where she made two dishes from her recently-released second cookbook, "Martina's Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist For Real Life": Garlic Shrimp with Green Goddess Dressing, and Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad.

McBride's sophomore cookbook Martina's Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist for Real Life hit shelves this past fall. The new collection includes nearly 300 pages of family recipes and new creations from her own kitchen. This follows her 2014 release, Around The Table.

"When I find a delicious recipe I can't wait to share it, just like when I find a great song," says McBride. "So I'm excited to share what I am cooking right now in my own kitchen for my family and friends. These are some of my very favorite recipes I've created since the last book, as well as son family recipes that have been handed down to me. I feel like this book has a good balance of health-conscious dishes and a few recipes for when you want to splurge, which represents the way I eat in real life," she adds.
