DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? YouTube is the best source for learning how to cook like our mothers did! This is Collard Valley Cooks’s YouTube channel, and we hope you subscribe today! When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was also a fantastic cook, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen.

  1. Been watching for 8 years, love your channel!❤ Have all your books and make your recipes daily. I have bought lots of your products such as meat hook, measuring cups, blending fork. Thanks for all

  2. I'm from Aragon and go down Collard Valley Road all the time! Ever since I started watching your channel I think of you every time I'm out that way ❤

  3. I live in Kentucky, right across the river from Cincinnati. Here, you'll hear a twang in our accent, but nothing like Georgia or Alabama. I think the first video I watched was a fried egg sandwich. Stay true Tammy.

  4. Ive been here since the begining and loved making your dishes and there have been too many laughs to count the girls were still in highschool love you and Chris I will be buying your new cookbook thank you Tammy for years of enjoyment

  5. I love Cedartown! I lived there from 1967-69, when I was in fifth and sixth grade. Went to Northside School and College Street Elementary. Cedartown was a beautiful place, and there are still remnants of beauty there. I still think of it very often.

  6. I love your videos and have all of your cookbooks. I have never made anything I didn't like. It never disappoints. I purchased the Master Cookbook because I was tired of having to look in all 4 of the previous books. Love it.

  7. Ms.Tammy, I've been watching you for years! Let me be clear, I love a good ole southern accent and if you ever lose your's, I'm not coming back! You have the best recipes and teaching techniques ever, and I love your personality. You and Chris are the best team and I love y'all. God bless you both.

  8. Been enjoying you and your husband since you guys and your brother were on the cooking show as contestants with other cooks. Out of them all you were my favorite. I continued to watch you and have totally enjoyed. Great recipes easy to follow and turn out wonderful. Tammy thanks for sharing your great recipes and cooking skills……

  9. I just happened on Collard Valley Cooks one day and I am so glad I did. What great food and people. I also love that Tammy and Chris share the products they use from can openers to pots and pans. The cookbook is full of so many great recipes and is put together with love. Thanks Tammy and Chris for sharing with us all.

  10. CVC is my favorite Youtube channel, hands down! Your "down to earth" approach makes your channel so real and easy to watch. The cookbook is wonderful and so are YOU. Your biscuits are our #1 favorite but your onion rings run a close 2nd. Thanks for so many great recipes and videos. I have been watching you from the very beginning! You and Chris are such a blessing! God bless you.

  11. My favorite channel on Youtube….and the cookbook is absolutely amazing!!!! It's the most impressive cookbook I own and I have everything from Paula Deen to Pioneer Woman.
    Anyone that orders, will not be disappointed. It truly is an amazing cookbook!
    Love and Blessings from Eastern Ky.
    Love ya Tammy!

  12. You showed up on my algorithm one day a few years ago (I do not remember how long ago) and I have been following you ever since then. I probably have seen every video you put out and watched Southern Woman and watch Nichols Retirement Empire. You and Chris are real and not fake, including your accents, so the haters can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned!❤❤

  13. thank you tammy and david if you are not from the south you cannot understand the way we talk hollywood never gets it right and a lot of non southerners think we talk that way there is no sound more beautiful than voice of a girl who grew up in the deep south that was the reason i started watching then subscribed the recipes that you have reminded me of all the familys that i grew up around

  14. Collard Valley Cooks is an excellent show to watch since Tammy and Chris show us wonderful and tasty recipes to prepare. They are good honest down to earth people that love what they do. Kudos to them!😀😀😀

  15. Hey there Tammy, i have been watching for many years and I love your new cookbook. Through the years I have made many of your recipes and sometimes I go back and rewatch a video just to see how you made something. I remember when you did the Bible Study too. That was a wonderful community too. I hope many people will buy your new cookbook. Y’all did a beautiful job. May God bless you and Chris. ❤️✝️🙏

  16. Beautiful Cookbook, Love your channel!!! Still hoping you will tell us about all your Aprons❤

  17. I would probably like her if she actually cooked like her mama's did instead of using a lot of shortcuts and boxed ingredients. That's not how mama's cook cooked back then, that's how they cook now.

  18. Love you, Tammy.❤ I haven't commented in a long time but I watch every video and love your recipes.

  19. Your accent is absolutely authentic. I randomly came across your channel and thought "I know that accent!" and looked to see if you were from here. I moved to Cedartown when I married my husband 17 years ago. I drive by Collard Valley Rd almost every day.

  20. My mama was from south GA and I am from south AL and I sound like you too😂😂 love your channel cause it takes me home! Found you about a month ago and am working on catching up! Much love from central FL!✌🏻🫶🏻

  21. Love watching you, Tammy. My mom wasn’t enthusiastic about cooking so I definitely appreciate your cookbook. I keep it handy!

  22. I’ve been watching Tammy’s Channel for a few years. I got my mom watching and other family members. Even though these are videos … it’s like visiting a friend each time Tammy puts a new video up. I’ve learned many new things and different ways to prepare foods. Many of the recipes I’ve tried, and they are delicious. Congratulations on your success and cookbook my dear friend ❤

  23. I bought this cookbook and it is my most favorite cookbook!!! Normal American food, common ingredients, good recipes, good instruction. Not one wasted page!!!

  24. I have been watching Tammy and Chris for several years and they are for real. Tammy has a true southern accent and I am from the south, Arkansas and I too say yall! Proud to be a true southerner.

  25. I love you and your cooking. You are so real never any pretense. Hubby and i live in Boise, ID but he grew up in Arkansas and so did my parents. We always watch u. We cook together a lot. Patty

  26. Love you Tammy 😍. Love your books ❤❤.. you don't say ya'll too much. All my relatives in bama and Mississippi say ya'll. They laugh when I say you guys lol. Its funny how your spoon bread popped up at the end. I just can't get my mind off that. I just have to make it. 😊
    That thing they do at the end of the year yanno …?? I forgot what its called, but they tell you all the places I visited on here. Well they put interesting.. your very loyal to this group. I might scroll along other sites but I stick with you. Your just good old down home sweet. ❤❤❤❤❤

  27. I began watching you before you moved from cedartown, when you continuously said, just like mama made. You wore crazy wigs, glasses. I don’t know where you live now, but I think I’ll give it a try!

  28. OMGoodness!!! Tammy, I had no clue we are (kinda) neighbors! I live in Cartersville, GA(Bartow County) I’ve been watching you since 2018, and from that time almost to now I’ve suffered lots of health issues and I haven been able enough to keep up. Your recipes are spot on and just like my mom,and grandma used to cook !! I’m will be tuning in more often and glad I scrolled up on your video tonight !!

  29. lol. Oh I know sweet Tammy about the accent being very real! I love it hon! I’m from Tennessee, , live in Indiana tho, but the south, southerners “can’t be beat”! 😁😁👍. You are a true jewel, & a delight to my day! I don’t comment much like I used to , but I am on this video! Cause I have to support you in sharing with whoever it may be, thinking you are not being “ who you are”, so that I “ can say to them”…. “ YES, you are “!! 👍😉. “ Y’ALL”!!! lol. YES, SHE IS“!! Tammy, you are a blessing, a joy, & a beautiful person inside & out! Love you dear heart! Deb. ( in Indiana) ❤️🙏🏻. 💐. Hugs!
