Tammy has done an outstanding job in creating the ultimate cookbook.
It has just about every recipe to mankind. It is just a lovely addition to my country kitchen. Most of all it is filled with recipes that mamas everywhere may have served to their families.

This cookbook is just as real as real can be. You don't need 15 ingredients to cook something. I have bought 2 & plan to buy more if available.

I ordered the first printing of the Master Cookbook. I was pleasantly surprised and then received another one because Tammy wasn't happy with the results. It was fine with me but I gladly received the second cookbook and gave one to my daughter. That shows integrity to send out new ones because she wasn't satisfied with the binding. Then to take the time to include corrections was an added bonus. I know Tammy put a lot of time and effort in these cookbooks and it shows. Thank you so much. All of the recipes are cooking like Mama did!

I really have enjoyed looking/reading your cookbook. So many of the recipes are familiar to me as I am a Southern cook also and we hold the record of being the best cooks ever! The pictures are an added bonus and would make a great gift to a newly wed as sometimes it really hard to explain how to do something and your directions help with that.

What a great cookbook! Yes, I know there are some typos however, the correction sheet is included and appreciated. I've already made a couple of recipes from the book; dog eared some pages for future reference and have a stain on the page of the first recipe I used - the French Coconut Pie - and I highly recommend this recipe. I have a feeling this will become my go to cookbook and I have many. Thanks again Collard Valley Cooks for a very well-constructed, thoughtful, detailed cookbook.

I've made the white cake with egg whites. Delicious. I appreciated the suggestion to use the egg yolks to make lemon curd in microwave. Easy and took fear of making something like curd. This from a Iowa follower.

I love the cookbook! I’ve read my cookbook from back to back and can’t wait to start using it.

Dear Tammy,
The cookbook is so beautiful! You are so talented in many, many ways. You bring joy to others all the time.
God Bless you and keep you and Chris

This cookbook is the best one I own. It has the best tried and true recipes and there are so many. This book has three on a page. I love how it opens and stays wide open and flat on the counter so it is so easy to follow. It has air fryer recipes, conversion charts and other tips.
It is the best value for your money of any that I own. I have a lot of cookbooks and I will be using this one a lot.

Tammy Nichols, the cook behind Collard Valley Cooks

My promise to you

Cooked In My Kitchen First

Not one recipe in this book went in untested. I cooked every single one in my own kitchen, the way Mama taught me, and wrote it down the way I'd tell it to you across the table.

If it isn't good enough for my family's table, it isn't in the book.
