On May 18, 2017, as I reflected on my battle with cancer, I realized I hadn’t taught my daughters how to cook. Concerned that if the cancer returned, I wouldn’t leave them with essential kitchen skills, I decided to record my favorite recipes on video.

I jumped out of my recliner, filmed my first tutorial that day, and posted it on Facebook the next day. The overwhelming response led me to create a Facebook page, a website, and a YouTube channel. Encouraged by my viewers, my husband and I compiled a cookbook, which I hope brings joy to both new and experienced cooks. Thank you for supporting Collard Valley Cooks!
