Tipper do you have a printed cookbook. If so, how do I purchase one? Thank you! Jeri Whittaker 12/29/2021

@@phyllisalexander7644 Jeri-I don't have a printed one yet, just the eCookbook, but I'm working on a printed one now 😀

[@lindaedwards9756]

@@CelebratingAppalachia I would love to have a printed cookbook . I don’t have the capability to download and print one right now due to technical difficulties and I just like to have hard copies especially in cookbooks.

[@kerrymetzger5432]

Tipper, I’ve watched your videos for a couple years. What a breath of fresh air, and oh….your recipes! Your daughters are such a joy to watch as well. I’ve followed you for your stories and talents in the kitchen, including the incredibly rich and enduring love of family and generations of pride passed down, being blessed as your family is to be part of a community of people who look out for each other. What a history Appalachia has, you can put to shame certain areas of this country who don’t have the slightest idea what strength, kindness, tenacity, values…the people who look down their noses at simple, hardworking Americans in areas that have basically been left behind by the government as Appalachia has been. Watched several videos of your girls in the past few weeks, Thanksgiving, decorating the tree, Corey and Austin finding their first home. Talented, funny, lovely young ladies. Watching your family is good for the heart, thank you. You and your husband can be so proud of raising your girls. Thank you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for the kind encouraging words! So glad you enjoy our videos 😀

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

Amen to this! 💜💕I can vouch for this in Canada as well typical Canadian families are being looked down while our government through them under a bus.

[@iamwhatiam4075]

These values definately need to make a comeback, along with many others. If only the guv really had left them and all of us alone, and stuck to what we created them for. We would all be sooo much better off. 99% of our Problems solved? :)

[@noahcount7132]

Making your Aunt Faye's recipes is a great way to remember her and honor her at the same time. A lot of families keep the memory alive of someone who came before by continuing to make and enjoy their recipes.

[@robertgann900]

Struck a chord tonight. Brought me to tears! The gentle kind.

[@Sabrina-01]

You can tell a fine story . I pray that when I'm dead and gone I'm remembered like you remember your loved ones . I'm crying now

[@tannerhutchins7268]

This reminds me of the chocolate pies that my granny would make when I came to visit her house. While I was away at college she would always have one ready to send back with me each time I went back to school. Thanks for bringing back sweet memories!

[@donnasue9749]

That pie looks wonderful!! I can almost taste it! Thank you for sharing the great story about your Aunt Faye, Grandma Gazzie, and your Mom. I have been looking at pictures from other people’s families all day today. As you talked about your family, in my mind I pictured all those wonderful old pictures I saw today of older women in their aprons cooking or cleaning, or doing other chores. It makes me feel so connected with the generations going way back, with homemakers all over the world. I love all aspects of homemaking. It is a job to be proud of, not ashamed of, like so many try to make women feel today if they want to stay home and do “women’s work”, like I heard one elderly lady call it about ten years ago. Your Aunt Faye does seem like she was one in a million! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I truly enjoyed this video. Donna. : )

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Donna! I love old pictures too 😀

[@joyt7754]

My grandmother made the most delicious coconut cream pie with mile high meringue. I can make the coconut custard but the perfect meringue eludes me every time. Hers would have those waves and peaks you talk about and the next day there would be little "honey" droplets on it. Such wonderful memories ❤️

[@russellramsay1947]

one of my fave posts Tipper.... A slice of choc pie, glass of milk and your world famous book stories is the best stress relief known to mankind. Thank you missy

[@russellramsay1947]

my dog/cat rescue friends agree. WOW! We all love yall,

[@CANDGIRL271]

It's funny Tipper. Growing up we didn't have a lot of money. We didn't eat out but maybe once a Year, looking back now , i didn't knkw it then, it musta been tax season. Anyway, we ate a lot of brown beans and cornbread and fried taters. I remember not being excited about it being for supper, until it was rime ro eat and how delicious it was. Now, its one of my comfort foods and something i look forward to. Funny how a smell and taste of something can really take you back to another place and time and PEOPLE. Such a precious thing now that my sweet Mama is gone. Passing down family food is more than just a recipe, its a GIFT that truly keeps on giving in the best way.

[@letitbee7248]

I'm going to try your Aunt Fay's chocolate pie. I loved my grandmother's chocolate pie and this looks just like the ones she made. She's been gone nearly 30 years and I haven't had a homemade chocolate pie since she passed. We used to call the meringue "calf slobbers". Hearing you say that brought back memories. Thank you for sharing the pie recipe and the stories about your Aunt Fay.

[@tina8796]

Love your recipes. I was raised in Southwest Virginia / East Tennessee and your childhood sounds exactly like mine. The food ! Country / Southern food. I love it. My absolute favorite. We love Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indian food, etc., but nothing and I mean nothing beats country cooking. Soup beans / crunchy cornbread / pickled beets / fried potatoes and onions / boiled cabbage / creasy greens / kilt lettuce. Sums up my childhood. Homemade breakfast gravy and buttermilk biscuits with chocolate gravy. Nothing can compete in my opinion. That chocolate pie brought back so many memories. My grandmother loved those chocolate pies and I do, too. She was an amazing country cook.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊

[@Diane_Phoenix]

I make a smores pie for my grandkids. Use Graham cracker crust, chocolate filling. I make meringue with 3 whites and add a container of marshmallow fluff then cover the pie with it. I torch the meringue and it tastes like it just came off the campfire

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That sounds wonderful!

[@peacefulwife5199]

WOWZERS, your S'mores Pie sounds fantabulous. 😀

[@SeldimSeen1]

You just made me think of my late grandmother Ashley from Clendenin, WVA. People would come from all of the county and neighboring counties and pay 4 dollars for her pies because of the crust. She was most famous for her chocolate cream pies with huge meringues. She always had your favorite pie ready when we came to visit. My favorite was her strawberry pies. I really miss her pies.

[@jenniferlawrence1372]

Guys, you're going to eventually get "youtube channel consultants" who will tell you things like "having the girls working and doing things while you're filming a video is not professional". PLEASE IGNORE THOSE PEOPLE. The charm of your videos is that you are a family, and you invite us in to become a part of your family. Seeing your family living their lives in a REAL manner rather than a staged one is why your channel is so fresh and delightful. I love it and lots of other people do as well. Now I'm gonna go make this pie.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Jennifer 😀

[@janicenichols7271]

Chocolate pudding still warm with whipped cream is one of my comfort foods...I have fond memories of the pot luck family reunions when I was a kid...So many tasty foods...My favourites I remember were fried chicken, peanut butter cheerio squares and no bake cherry cheese cake...I still get hankerings for all these foods and I'll make them for a special treat...I really enjoy your videos...it is like you are giving everyone a history lesson that I could listen to all day!

[@redbird6310]

[@andreamills5852]

All these recipes are wonderful, I think the best recipe from aunt Fay's generation is the recipe for life and how they lived .The WW2 generation the greatest that ever lived .It's awesome to have someone like you Tipper to continue their legacy through your passion of history, food, faith and the stories you share, keeping the memories alive P.S. I will try aunt fay's recipe. Say hello to Granny for us.

[@peggyreid6836]

Brings back memories of mom.

My mother made chocolate pie often. I miss my mother and her cooking.l

[@farrahharper7352]

Both of my grandma's used to make this pie and my mother has been trying to replicate the recipe to no avail for a few years now, something's always just slightly off in the consistency. Can't wait to send this her way.

[@dallasmandy]

I burnt the snot out of my meringue for Thanksgiving. Still got ate. Thanks for this recipe. I've been forever trying to feel out the way my mother in law made hers. I also love the way yours is photographed on the link.

[@phyllisalexander7644]

Aunt Fayes pie is too beautiful to not taste GOOD. YOU'RE RIGHT , Tipper, food, like people, can't be judged by the outward appearance. The true value lies in the taste of the food and the beauty on the inside of the person. Thank you and Aunt Faye for another great video. Jeri Whittaker 12/28/2021

[@paulettebreuss9607]

I've been binge watching you for a few weeks. The difference in your pie and mine.... I've never used corn starch In My flour. I add my vanilla and butter after I take off the stove. I'm in Dallas, Texas. My family's from hot springs Arkansas. We have so many common ways, and words and saying. The homestead on hot springs national park was my families homestead. The Moores. In family ancestry. We came from the mountains, Carolins and Tennesee. I just really learn, and love watching you

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So very glad you've been enjoying our videos! Thank you so much 😀

[@cindypressley4285]

Tipper, I'm sure Aunt Faye would be pleased! You're such a good cook, I love to watch you. You are both confident and competent in the kitchen. You also very competently maintain your composure with both girls wandering around behind you...you get A+ on focus!

This is the first year I am trying my hand at all the sweet goodness. Usually My Momma made it but she's spending Christmas in Heaven, so I think I'll give em a whirl! Thank you for sharing this.

[@janetodowd7578]

Tipper you just make me smile. My aunt Pat Williams is known for her cookin in Erin Tennessee. When we would go visit she would always make us her chocolate cream pie. Mom was always amazed at her meringue on top Yumm!

[@Trey-Jones]

You got me thinking, and probably because I do genealogy and also grew up in martial arts where they keep a record of who trained who for hundreds of years, I need to write my recipes down so my kids can teach their kids my recipes. Thank you for inspiring me to do that. I love the stories you have with these recipes.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Super idea! We should all do that 😀

[@goldenboy5500]

I have never been a fan of cream pies but love the stories behind whatever your cooking

Thank you for sharing!! I’ve been begging my aunt for her chocolate cream pie recipe for years and she has never given it to me. I’ll use this one!

[@katherineroberts271]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all these recipes. I’m from Kentucky and my granny died in April last year. She was 89 and I miss her daily. Your channel shares all her signature recipes. So I’m very thankful to relieve the memories. Granny made the best fried corn, green beans, fried chicken, chocolate pie, all these recipes. Thank you again!

[@ruthanneluvsvacuuming6653]

Love it My mom made chocolate cream pie She didn’t bake it She just used a ready made pie crust with instant chocolate pudding mix she made to fill it and topped it with thawed out cool whip and chilled

[@rebeccajones9735]

I love choc cream pie in a graham cracker crust. And I like it covered in homemade whipped cream. I made a big butterscotch cream pie and took it to my mother's Christmas 2019. My brother cut the first slice and tasted it and said, " Y'all don't need to get any of this. It ain't good!" And he just shoveled it in...Lol. i had been craving it and then did not even eat a slice! So, I'm still craving it 2 years later. Butterscotch is one of my mom's favorite flavors.

[@janae09]

My great grandmother “Granny Rhodes” always had a freshly made chocolate cream pie anytime we went to visit her. Since she passed several years ago, I’ve not had a pie that could match hers. May have to give this recipe a try.

It sounds so good on this cold, rainy day!

Mom always made chocolate and lemon pies in a cast iron skillet. She mixed the ingredients in the skillet and stirred them until the mixture thickened. The one thing I learned the hard way was if the least little bit of egg yolk got into the egg whites when separating them the the whites would not whip up fluffy.

Young Lady, you have the makin's of a double boiler, the original pot and your mixin bowl. When I was a kid in SW Michigan, there was a company called Pie-O-My the filling was sort of a mousse. I so enjoyed when Mom would make those!

My mother made it the same way and she topped it with what us kids called cow slobbers it was so good this really takes me back

Same recipe as my grandmother. My favorite pie still to this day 🙂

[@lenelenore]

Thank you so much for sharing this! My grandma used to make lovely chocolate meringue pie and butterscotch meringue pie, and while I have her butterscotch recipe, I don’t have the chocolate. Your Aunt Faye’s recipe looks remarkably like what I recall of hers, and I’m really looking forward to making it. I know my grandma loved sharing her recipes; we still make the fat, soft molasses ginger cookies that her own momma baked back at the end of the 1800s, and it always gave grandma joy to hear about other families baking her recipe and enjoying the cookies. I’m sure your Aunt Faye is tickled to know that many people will be sitting down to enjoy a slice of delicious pie from her recipe!❤️
