My friend Mary Lou Cheatham and Paul Elliott wrote
a delightful cookbook called The Collard Patch.
Yes, and entire cookbook for collard recipes, and
humorous stories. Actually, reading the book is
as much fun as trying the recipes.
Here are a few of the recipes in the 288 page book:

I keep telling myself that I need to prepare one of the
cakes… which do have collards in them.
The book also has an amazing array of cornbread recipes,
with cornbread being the perfec thing to eat with “a mess
of collards.”
You can get this cookbook, bundled with two other really
