Martina Takes To Twitter To Reveal Cover Of Her Debut Book To Fans

New York, NY (July 1, 2014) - Martina McBride revealed the cover of her first book, a combination cookbook and entertaining guide 'Around The Table' to fans this morning in a special message on Twitter.

'Around The Table' is a full-color illustrated collection of Martina's favorite recipes, entertaining tips, practical menu planning advice, and themed décor inspiration. A busy mom of three, Martina understands that hosting needs to be easy to be enjoyable, and all of her recipes are accompanied by cooking game plans. From a Red, White, and Blue Backyard Cookout to a Red Wine and Vinyl themed dinner party, Martina has planned parties for every season. The book is currently available for pre-order on the HarperCollins website (http://bit.ly/1qMZoKT) and online retailers. 'Around The Table' will hit stores October 7th, 2014 (William Morrow/HarperCollins Publishers).

"I have a passion for food and entertaining so I'm excited to be putting everything I love into the pages of my new book," says Martina. "The response from fans to the cover on Twitter this morning was incredible. I can't wait for everyone to see the full book."

Martina is currently on tour pursuing her better-known passion for music with a U.S tour that has seen the 11-piece band sell out dates in nearly every city. Complete "R&B-revue-style horns" (LA Times) - trumpet, tenor sax, bari sax and trombone – and a trio of back-up singers, Martina's live show is bringing the iconic sounds of the '50s and '60s from her new album 'Everlasting' alive.
